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!

Dream Wedding & Stunning Venue

Lake Lanier Islands was hands down the best wedding venue we could have dreamed of! The setting was absolutely stunning, with unreal, breathtaking views that made us feel like we had the entire islands reserved just for our special day. The natural beauty of the venue, combined with its spacious and serene atmosphere, created a truly magical experience for us and all of our guests.

The staff at Lake Lanier Islands went above and beyond in every way, but we especially want to give the highest praise to Fernando Saenz, our incredible Wedding & Social Events Sales Manager. Fernando was nothing short of a lifesaver. He worked tirelessly to ensure every detail was perfect, responding to every email and call within minutes—no matter the time. He was so kind, supportive, and incredibly organized, handling coordination with every vendor and anticipating our needs with unmatched dedication. Our wedding simply would not have gone off without him, and his exceptional care is a huge reason our day was so flawless.

The food was phenomenal—truly the best wedding cuisine we’ve ever tasted! The staff, particularly at Sidney’s Restaurant and throughout our reception, provided the warmest, most attentive service. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how well they were treated and the outstanding experience from the moment they arrived to the time they left.

We also have to highlight the front desk staff, who went above and beyond in making our guests feel so welcomed. They happily passed out our goody bags and were incredibly accommodating with early and late checkouts, ensuring everyone had a smooth, enjoyable stay.

The golf carts were a massive hit, making transportation around the islands so much fun and convenient. The staff even went out of their way to meet guests or assist with returning the carts. With guests staying across all three locations—the Lodge, the Villas, and the LakeHouses—everyone was blown away by the beautiful accommodations. And our honeymoon suite? It was absolutely gorgeous and the perfect escape after our unforgettable celebration.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to Fernando, the front desk team, and the entire Lake Lanier Islands staff for making our wedding so extraordinary. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue, and we will forever cherish the memories of that beautiful day!

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.

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!
