From the moment my husband and I first inquired about hosting our wedding at The 62, the owners were incredibly efficient, supportive, and kind in their communication. They were always quick to respond to my many emails and texts, and never made me feel like I was a burden. Their flexibility and encouragement throughout the planning process was truly invaluable. The venue itself is stunning, with a sleek and well-kept aesthetic that felt so special and set apart. We were able to utilize the on-site cottages for our wedding party, which added an extra layer of convenience and comfort to our entire weekend celebration.

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!

It was a wonderful experience working with The Vecoma by the Yellow River. They are top notch professionals. The food was the best I have ever had. (To name a few - Salmon, roast beef- caesar salad and Mac and cheese were so good).. The guests could not say enough good things about the food. The venue itself is gorgeous. We had a fall wedding down by the river. Leaves were falling and it was just magical. The cost for this venue is a steal. Book this place!! The owners are the best and everything is very organized. Caroline is a wonderful photographer and so easy to work with. The day went so smoothly. Within a few days, we received a few sneak peek photos and then a great short video of our wedding. Our day was wonderful and stress free thanks to these people! I have had three daughters get married, directed and decorated for many weddings in my lifetime- and I can honestly say- this is the best I have worked with and seen.
