Riverbend Vineyard Pictorial

Ryan & Catherine

EVENT: Ryan & Catherine’s Wedding
LOCATION: Riverbend Inn & Vineyard – Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON
FORMAT: Instrumental acoustic guitar

In terms of aesthetic beauty, you really can’t go wrong with Niagara-on-the-Lake. Riverbend Inn & Vineyard was no exception.

I always love the contrast when you combine the more visceral sound of an acoustic guitar with such an elegant setting. Ryan & Catherine both have a great sense of style. Everything fit perfectly. The venue was laced with vintage touches. Guests were brought in on old trolleys. It was amazing from start to finish.

Sounds ranged from very contemporary to classic vintage. The Bridal Party proceeded to David Gray’s Babylon. Catherine walked down the aisle to The Beatles’ Here Comes the Sun. And everyone receded to Jack Johnson’s Better Together.

The cocktail hour continued with a great range of songs, perfect weather, and lots of laughter until the last trolley faded off to downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake.

A picture perfect day.
