Colorful Spring Grand Gimeno Wedding

Curtis and his groomsmen suited up inside the Parlor at Grand Gimeno while Annie and her bridesmaids got ready in the Powder Room dressed in matching blue and white pajamas. Once hair and makeup were complete, Annie slipped into her wedding gown and stepped out to show her bridesmaids. Oohs and aahs filled the room as the girls showered Annie with compliments hyping her up for her first look with Curtis who was waiting just outside the Powder Room doors. With a boost of confidence, Annie stepped into the Foyer and tapped Curtis on the shoulder. Curtis turned around to see his beautiful bride standing before him beaming from ear to ear. The couple enjoyed the moment alone by sharing private vows before lining up for the ceremony with their wedding party.

Guests entered the Olive Grove, signed Curtis and Annie’s guest book, then took a seat. Pink and blue floral arrangements marked both sides of the aisle and a matching floral arch stood tall as the ceremony backdrop. Once everyone was in attendance, the music cued up and the wedding party made their entrances. In front of all their closest friends and loving family, Curtis and Annie recited vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Wood-Fired Alfredo Bianca and Meat Lovers Pizzas were being sliced fresh from the oven while Mini Al Pastor Tacos, Crab Cakes, and Falafel Bites were tray passed to hungry guests for cocktail hour. The bar served up beer, wine, and the newlywed’s signature drinks, an Adios and Dirty Shirley. Everyone mixed and mingled posing for selfies with the bride and grom until it was time to head inside for the reception.

Tables were topped with bud vases filled with pink, white, peach, and blue flowers, sage green candles, and printed menus. Curtis and Annie made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Toasts were shared while Beef Souvlaki, Grilled Greek Chicken Kabobs, Shrimp Kabobs, Persian Saffron Rice, Grilled Moroccan Vegetables, Greek Lemon Potatoes, and Greek Salad was served. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Selena. After dinner, Annie and Curtis cut into their wedding cake and invited their guests to indulge in a slice. The evening ended with everyone out on the dance floor showing off their best moves and sharing their well wishes with the newlyweds.
