“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!”
