Lanier Islands

We chose Lanier Islands for our wedding weekend because of the beautiful, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. We had a great tour with Anna who provided the overall details about the different venues. Then, Cory took over as our Event/Catering Manager, and she did an amazing job coordinating both the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. Cory was great to work with and made sure all the details were handled to a tee! The Banquet Captains, Christina for the rehearsal dinner at Venetian Pier, and Danitza for the reception at Legacy Point, were most attentive to all the food service needs. Both meals were delicious, and the wait staff and bartenders were all excellent!
We chose to use Lanier Islands preferred vendors for the wedding details. Our wedding planner, Jackie from Smooth Tie the Knots, was a true pleasure to work with. She helped us throughout the entire planning process from beginning to end. Jackie and her assistant, Katy, were so helpful and made sure all the wedding day details were in order. Jessica and her team at Design House of Flowers in Buford created a spectacular rustic night at the Venetian Pier for the rehearsal dinner. They also provided beautiful bouquets and arrangements for the creremony and transformed the Legacy Point tent and pavilion into a beautiful elegant reception for dining and dancing. Malinda and her team at The Baking Grounds in Buford provided delectable sweets for both the rehearsal dinner and reception.
Our wedding weekend experience at Lanier Islands was incredible! Every staff member was so nice and friendly from the guard at the entrance gate, the valets and bell staff, the front desk staff, the servers at Sidney’s and the bartenders and servers at Bullfrogs. Also, our king suite at the Lodge was immaculate and the housekeeping staff was also very friendly. Our wedding guests enjoyed the pool as well as golfing and spa services. It was the perfect venue for our wedding and for our family and friends to enjoy a little slice of North Georgia and Lake Lanier!

We had our wedding at Lake Lanier Islands Resorts on 5/6/23 and I truly can’t say enough about what a magical weekend it was! First of all, the process of planning a wedding can seem daunting but the amazing staff starting with Anna Shadburn were so helpful and responsive that it really helped ease the stress of it all. Olivia Hinze took over and really made all of our dreams become a reality. There were times that I definitely freaked out and she did a wonderful job to calm me down.
When it was finally time for the wedding weekend, it was even better than I could even imagine! Our rehearsal dinner was at the beautiful Venetian Pier and the wedding was outdoors at Legacy Pointe. My husband at a pre-wedding event at GameChanger and we had a post-wedding brunch at Sidney’s. All staff was amazing and accommodating.
Many guests remarked that this was the best wedding that this was the best wedding they had ever been to. I am sure that this was large part due to the wonderful people at LLI resort!! I will forever be grateful to them for the most memorable and perfect wedding ever!
