Sarah Sent on 10/28/2022VIP 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! -

We had a wonderful and successful wedding at Lanier Islands! Olivia and Jacob were incredibly helpful—both professional and detail-oriented throughout the planning process. The ceremony site overlooking Lake Lanier was absolutely stunning, and the reception package offered unbeatable value compared to other venues we considered.
Our guests couldn’t stop praising the beautiful lakefront setting. Plus, there were plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy, like the game center and golf course on the island.
The food and drinks were excellent, and we loved spending our complimentary wedding night at the Legacy Lodge, complete with champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries—such a thoughtful touch!
Overall, we’re so glad we chose Lanier Islands for our big day. We’ll definitely be recommending it to our newly engaged friends! -

Nicole Sent on 12/16/2024Dream 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! -

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. -

Katie K., Fernando and the entire team at LLI were amazing from the beginning in reserving our venue, to the very end when the ceremony took place. Everyone from the valet to the banquets were phenomenally professional and accommodating, going above and beyond at every turn! -

Lanier Islands was the perfect place for our wedding weekend. We went with the intimate ceremony package and absolutely fell in love with the gorgeous views at Oliver Pointe for our ceremony. It made for an unforgettable day. The wedding events staff members were incredible to work with, were always available to answer our questions, and provided great vendor recommendations for all wedding needs (I HIGHLY recommend hiring one of the wedding planners from their list). Every staff member we encountered were so kind. We will definitely celebrate anniversaries at Lanier Islands. 100% recommend! -

Beautiful, intimate and unique venue. We got married at the Venetian Pier and we couldn't have hoped for a more perfect location. Sales and Catering Manager Dana made the day run so smoothly and all the staff were so professional, kind and attentive. The whole team was very flexible with us planning a wedding from a different state and they accommodated our last minute changes and specific dietary requests/guest needs. We wouldn't have changed a thing! -

Betsy Sent on 10/11/2022Great Wedding Reception Experience
Our daughters wedding reception was absolutely perfect!
Working with the staff was wonderful beforehand and we used many of their preferred vendors that were great also. The food that Lanier Islands prepared was delicious and the drinks were great. We had the reception at Peachtree Pointe and it was decorated beautifully by Design House of Flowers in Buford. We left the doors open and the outside views of the lake were great. The staff really took care of us over the long weekend. We stayed at the resort and enjoyed Sydneys in the morning and Bullfrogs and even went over to Margaritaville. It was a great weekend! I can't say enough about the wonderful staff and hotel. -

Monica Sent on 04/19/20225 star review!
Wow! I had an amazing experience with Jacob Walker and Lanier Island Resort as my wedding venue! I highly recommend this venue because they are profession and can cater to weddings from 50 guest count to 500 guest count. The ceremony sites are beautiful and private, the scenery is lovely from all angles of the lake and the well-maintained golf course with rolling hills and plentiful trees. There is plenty of parking and hotel rooms for guests with options of renting spacious lake houses for larger groups of people and a very nice honeymoon suite for the newlyweds. The hotel ballrooms range in sizes and can fit live a live band, dance floor, plenty of tables, buffet and bars. Also the food provided by the hotel is extremely tasteful, they make beautiful displays and bar tenders were very friendly. Lanier Islands provide wedding packages which are extremely helpful when it comes to organizing the small details, such as chairs and tables and linen table cloths, etc. Jacob Walker (social event planner for the company) is a joy to work with! Jacob has a very friendly positive attitude. He is fast and clear with communication, profession, present during the event to check in multiple times and worked in harmony with my wedding planner. I had a dream 3 day wedding starting with a smooth rehearsal ceremony and dinner Friday, a large outside wedding ceremony and indoor reception Saturday and then a final Sunday breakfast brunch. My guests were very pleased with the accommodations, there were signs and maps to help guide them around the resort, they enjoyed the scenery and loved the pool. My photographer got beautiful pictures with outdoor backgrounds of lake and rolling hills. Overall, I am extremely happy with my experience and give Jacob Walker and Lanier Islands 5 star rating!!! -

We had the most amazing experience ever as we celebrated our special day! The entire team was very professional, prompt & efficient. They understand your requirements and work with you. It was a dream come true! Just enjoy your day and let Lanier Islands wedding team take care of it all. We picked Venetian Pier which was just perfect for your mid size intimate celebration. The staff sure exceeded our expectations in every way! -

Ashlee Sent on 03/25/2022A Destination Wedding Feel Only an Hour From Atlanta
We got married at Peachtree Point Amphitheater March 2022 and our guest told us it was the most beautiful wedding venue they had ever seen! (It truly was). We had no decor at the ceremony because the scenery is just THAT beautiful. I’m a very last minute decision making bride which can make me difficult to work with but Olivia and Anna at Lake Lanier Islands we’re amazing help and made things so easy!!! Prices were comparable to the luxurious look, feel and service we received. Food was delicious! Close enough to Atlanta but far and different enough to make it feel like a destination wedding in Atlanta’s backyard. Couldn’t have asked for anything more! BEST DAY EVER!!!! -

My husband and I had our wedding at Lake Lanier Islands on October 17, 2020. We had our ceremony at Peachtree Falls. The view was breath taking. We had our reception on the lake at the Venetian Pier. All of our guest came up to us and told us how beautiful the venue was and that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to. Olivia was our wedding coordinator. She was great and very accommodating!! Cristina D was our banquet captain- she was amazing too! The food was really good. We had multiple guest come up to us and said it was very good!! Everything was perfect! We had the best time ever. -

Brianna Sent on 10/07/2020An absolute dream!
My husband and I absolutely adore the lake so, of course, we had to check out Lanier Islands as a possible venue. Right away we fell in love with it. From the incredibly sweet and flexible staff to the gorgeous scenery, you will not regret having your wedding here. There were adorable rooms we used the day of the wedding to congregate in before the ceremony, and for the couple, a special room to have a moment to breathe in right after our "I Do's", which I will definitely cherish forever. We also really enjoyed having such a variety of backgrounds for photos, from the golf course, to the lake, to the greenery and garden area in front of the hotel. I cannot say enough good things about this venue! -

Marjorie Sent on 11/01/2019Beautiful and well organized
We got married a few weeks ago at Lake Lanier. We had our ceremony at Oliver Point and the reception at Venetian Pier. We, along with our guests, were extremely happy about how organized, professional and totally awesome the Lake Lanier team performed. Our guests ate our food at the cottage by the pier (they I guess did not know) and the team was quick to bring my husband and I some food before we went into reception. My day of coordinator was Jackie from Smooth ties the knot, she has done many weddings at Lanier and they have a great relationship. They took good inventory of the stuff we provided and we got everything back! They got this thing down so our day was stress free. I love that venue so much, I paid the $500 to have my ceremony at Oliver Point, it is just a beautiful spot overlooking the lake. Leading ip to the wedding, Celita was very responsive and friendly ensuring all details were taken care of. We are glad we chose Lake Lanier and we will be going back to visit through the yrs I am sure. -

Mariya Sent on 10/29/2019Wedding of my dreams!
I couldn’t have asked for a more memorable and beautiful experience! We got married at Peachtree Point and with the right decor elements, the venue was transformed into something even more beautiful than what it already is! I was worried that it would be too large for 120 guests but it was just right. I had room for an oversized dance floor and 2 carving stations. It was great! The entire staff was incredibly accommodating, professional, and polite. I’d like to specifically recognize Anna Shadburn, who stepped in 3 weeks before our wedding date to take over the catering manager role. Losing our contact 3 weeks ahead of the wedding made me very nervous, but with Anna’s help, we didn’t have a single hiccup. She was super responsive and very calm (which is exactly what a crazy stressed bride needs) :)
The villa suites were also so much fun to hang out in after our wedding! The bottle of
Champagne and strawberry gift from the staff were such a sweet touch. The valet staff and bellman were always eager to help us. One of the Legacy Lodge staff members even left in his personal vehicle to pick us up orange juice and other random things after the wedding. We felt like everyone went above and beyond for us, and felt very special!
Recommendations for LLI:
- Provide easier way to get vendors in and out of villa suites
- Middle aisle for Peachtree point (I hear this is in progress)
- Outdoor access to bridal holding room at Peachtree Point -

My husband and I got married at Peachtree Pointe at Lake Lanier in September 2019. We worked closely with Olivia Hinze up u til and during our wedding day and she was amazing! She answered the many questions that I had and worked to make sure our day was perfect. Also, our guests could not stop talking about how good the food was at our reception and also at our rehearsal and Sunday brunch. It made the wedding process much easier having almost everything in house and I would highly recommend someone to get married here! The ceremony was gorgeous! -
