Old Towne Orange · Up to 270 seated guests

Grand Gimeno

Vows beneath century-old olive trees, dinner under thirty-foot timber beams.

Real pricing appears as you design — about ten minutes, no commitment.

The Setting

An evening that could only happen here.

Spanish Colonial Revival architecture welcomes you into Grand Gimeno, a romantic landmark in the heart of Old Towne Orange. Sunlit courtyards and ample layout options set the stage for a wedding shaped entirely around you — including culinary experiences found nowhere else, from wood-fired pizza to a live-fire asado.

Six distinct spaces unfold across thirty thousand square feet of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture in the heart of Old Towne Orange. Ceremonies gather in the Olive Grove, where market lights are strung through century-old European olive trees and dappled light falls across the aisle.

As evening settles, cocktail hour comes alive around the live-fire kitchen — a wood-fired pizza oven and Argentine asado grill at a bespoke tiled counter — before the celebration moves into Grand Central Hall for dinner and dancing beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed timber trusses, and iron chandeliers.

The Ceremony: The Olive Grove, framed by graceful olive branches — with the fireplace-warmed Foyer as an elegant indoor option.
The Gathering: Up to 270 seated guests — the venue is ours, and for your evening it's entirely yours.
The Table: Menus found nowhere else — The Grand, Far East, Baja, Americana, and Grecian Grill buffets, chef-designed plated pairs, and live-fire cooking under the olive trees.

The Spaces

The Olive Grove

Grand Central Hall

A grand ballroom with 30-foot vaulted ceilings, timber trusses, and iron chandeliers for dinner and dancing into the night.

The Courtyard & Foyer

A tiled fountain, shaded alcoves, and arched walkways lead to an interior gathering space warmed by two fireplaces.

Apartment-style suites for each side of the wedding party — vanity stations, custom furnishings, and room to breathe.

Since 1967

Jay and Eleanor Mastroianni began hosting from their own kitchen. Three generations later, the same family sets the table at Grand Gimeno — from the first tasting to the last dance.
