VIP Experience At The Most Beautiful Venue

Wow! Lanier Islands is the most beautiful place to get married. But beyond its beautiful scenery, they have the most incredible staff. From the first time we toured there we knew we had to get married here. The staff were all so kind and helpful, we felt like we got the VIP treatment the whole time. They accommodated every request and answered every question so quickly. I had no stress going into the wedding day knowing Lanier Islands had me covered. They were so kind when we had a last-minute guest count change and made everything go so smoothly. They have such a good relationship with all the vendors which helped things go smoothly in ways I hadn't even thought of while I was planning. All of our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was & how amazing the food tasted. We were even surprised with champagne and chocolate in our room when we got back after the wedding! We had the absolute best experience with them and can't wait to go back to visit!

Jorge and Hunter’s Wedding

Angelica helped our vision of our rustic wedding come to life! From her very detailed planning, amazing execution and attentiveness. She made sure myself and my partner were seen as a gay couple with absolutely no issues. Angelica was very attentive the day of which really made us feel secure as the day of the wedding is already crazy! The entire staff that worked as we partied through the reception was also amazing and so kind. The food and drinks at Lake Lanier are top notch! We truly had the wedding of dreams.

Lake Lanier has been a perfect place for me to work at for a few years. They have so many beautiful venues to choose from. Great venue

They have an excellent staff, and playing jazzy music with my saxes during a Wedding dinner on the main deck and dance music for the reception on the upperdeck of the Isaland Princess was a real trip! Not only did we have fun, but so did all the boats that surrounded and traveled with us! Thank you Carol!
