My high expectations were blown away. Chris and her team are an absolute dream to work with. The stunning views and grounds at Geneva on the Lake would be gorgeous on their own, bu...
t the tent was decorated elegantly and I was delighted by little touches I discovered through the evening. I felt like royalty thanks to the attentive service of all the team. The food, which was sourced from local farms, was amazing - several people commented it was the best wedding food they ever had.
Upon check in, the staff went on at length about how excited they were to be working at my wedding - and it was completely genuine. Jason was exceptional - and so much fun to have lighting our Bon fire the evening of the wedding. He did everything with a huge, genuine smile. A waitress who had served me lunch a month + earlier stopped me and reintroduced herself, reminding me of lunch and telling me she was excited. The team is incredibly warm and welcoming. Chris Clarke is a gem - she has a solution or suggestion for anything you throw her way and has a terrific upbeat attitude.
I love that Geneva on the Lake hosts just 1 wedding per weekend. I felt like all of the energy was devoted to making my event beautiful.
I would choose Geneva on the Lake 100 times over - it was a dream. I can't wait to return for a visit.

I submitted an inquiry form and didn’t hear back so I called them multiple times and left messages. It’s been a month and I never heard from anyone.

Geneva on the Lake is truly elegant, old-world, European splendor!
Situated directly on Lake Seneca in the finger lakes with gorgeous sprawling gardens and breathtaking views, it...
is the perfect place for an outdoor wedding! The hotel itself is a stunning backdrop for any wedding photograph. This private and unobtrusive resort allowed us to enjoy a level of personal attention not easily found these days. The service and hospitality at this hotel were impeccable! Christine, the event coordinator, was magnificent and every detail of our wedding was given great attention and arranged with care. The food was superb and the accommodations luxurious! Our wedding cake was created by the pastry chef at the hotel and was absolutely exquisite and delicious!
As my husband is French, we had many guest who had flown over from Europe for the wedding. All of whom were quite impressed and pleased by the European feel of this hotel.
We couldn't have picked a more perfect venue and truly had the wedding of our dreams!
