Their Story

Rachel and Christopher’s wedding at Geneva On The Lake was a refined and timeless celebration set against the breathtaking backdrop of New York’s Finger Lakes. Inspired by the estate’s European architecture, manicured gardens, and serene lake views, their day embodied understated luxury and effortless sophistication.

The morning began inside the historic villa, where heirloom details and thoughtful styling set the tone for the celebration. Rachel wore an exquisite lace gown featuring intricate embroidery and a dramatic cathedral veil, paired with elegant Jimmy Choo heels. Every detail, from the refined stationery adorned with delicate gold accents to the soft blue toile textures throughout the space, reflected the estate’s old-world charm and romantic character.

Their ceremony took place in the formal gardens overlooking Seneca Lake, framed by lush greenery and classic stone columns. Surrounded by soft, romantic florals in neutral tones, Rachel and Christopher exchanged vows in an intimate and emotional moment, with the peaceful lake serving as a naturally breathtaking backdrop.

Following the ceremony, guests gathered on the terrace for a cocktail hour overlooking the gardens and water. A stunning champagne fountain created a sense of timeless glamour, becoming a beautiful focal point as guests mingled and celebrated. As the evening unfolded, the reception continued beneath an elegant tent on the estate grounds, where candlelight, refined details, and the warmth of shared moments created an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere.

Throughout the day, every element—from the classic black tie attire to the historic lakeside setting—came together seamlessly to create a celebration that felt both elevated and deeply personal. Rachel and Christopher’s wedding was a beautiful reflection of enduring love, thoughtfully designed within one of the Finger Lakes’ most iconic and romantic estate venues.
