Ceremony and Cocktail Harpist, Herrington Inn & Spa, Geneva

The rain plan for Herrington Inn & Spa is still really lovely!

 Well, we were supposed to be outside at the Herrington Inn & Spa, but it has been a really rainy summer. Luckily, the venue manager, Raquel, is a really capable person, so she called the event for indoors in enough time so everything could be beautiful for the couple! The room layout at the Herrington is pretty distinctive. I played for the ceremony, as you see, then I moved over to the small balcony, and played for the cocktail hour below. It made everything super seamless, and I was able to play right up to the introductions, as all that was needed was a quick move backwards, and the French doors were closed off! I would really recommend this venue for both beauty and flexibility!

In other news, I learned my first Rolling Stones tune, and can report that "Wild Horses" sounds great on harp!

Herrington Inn, Geneva Wedding Ceremony Harpist

The riverfront space at the Herrington Inn, Geneva

So, I wasn't actually set up in the outdoor space on this wedding, but I think when you choose the Herrington Inn and Spa in Geneva, it ends up being all about the river, so I am showing this first.  I was struck by how many areas they had, and curious about how they might be used in lots of different ways for all kinds of wedding parties.  

The indoor ceremony space.

This bride wanted to be sure that the groom and groomsman (who were all in their military uniforms) would be comfortable, so she chose to be indoors.  The indoor space is lovely, with exposed brick and a split level interior.  Directly behind the wedding setup were doors out to the river patio that I pictured above:

Not a great picture, but you get the idea!

It looks like the doors could be thrown open and the two spaces could flow together, but that is a question for the staff at the Inn.  After cocktails on the patio, the guests were off to yet another area of the Inn for dinner; so many options!!
