From the moment Amanda and Chris reached out, they knew one thing for sure: they were getting married at The Abbey Resort in Lake Geneva. There was no backup plan, no second options—just a clear vision and a whole lot of heart. HBIC Weddings was thrilled to be by their side from day one, helping shape every detail into a day that was unmistakably them.

The morning unfolded with Amanda getting ready at Chris’s family home alongside her bridal party and mom, while Chris prepped at The Abbey with his groomsmen and father. True to their romantic spirits, they skipped the first look in favor of that unforgettable walk-down-the-aisle moment—and when it came, it was everything.

Post-ceremony, the wedding party boarded a private chartered bus for a whirlwind photo tour of Lake Geneva’s iconic spots before Amanda & Chris made the most stylish entrance of the day: cruising into cocktail hour on a flower-adorned Criss-Craft boat, greeted by cheers and champagne as they pulled up to the outdoor reception.
Before joining guests, the couple enjoyed a private garden gazebo dinner—an intimate pause before the party and a chance to connect one-on-one. It also gave them a moment to soak in the jaw-dropping reception tent transformation: summery strands of café lights, a glossy white vinyl dance floor, and four oversized floral installations anchoring the space in pure elegance.

Dinner was rich in flavor and feeling, with a trio of toasts from the groom’s father, the bride’s sister, and the best man that had guests laughing, crying, and raising their glasses. And once the plates were cleared? The celebration kicked into high gear. TVK Orchestra brought the energy and filled the night with music, movement, and magic that didn’t stop until the stars were high and the dance floor was full.

Amanda & Chris’s wedding was everything they dreamed of—timeless, heartfelt, and full of Lake Geneva magic.
