Lanier Islands Honored with Two Prestigious Wedding Awards

BUFORD, Ga. - Jan. 23, 2024 - PRLog -- For a lakeside resort that strives to be "A Different World, Close to Home," to be honored with awards that celebrate those "differences" is particularly gratifying. That was certainly the case when Lanier Islands was recognized with not just one but two awards this month for its wedding services and venues. The Georgia resort announced today that it has been honored with The Knot Best of Weddings 2024 and the 2024 WeddingWire Couples' Choice Award®. While both awards are based on positive reviews from 2023 brides and grooms, Lanier Islands already has its sights set on surpassing the expectations of 2024 couples. The lakeside destination will host its first Wedding Open House of the year on Saturday, January 27.

"On behalf of the entire staff at Lanier Islands, I'd like to thank The Knot and WeddingWire for providing a forum for couples to share their reviews and experiences with other up-and-coming brides- and grooms-to-be," said Matthew Bowling, Vice President of Islands Management Company. "Both awards are based on those reviews, so clearly, we're doing something right, which makes these recognitions incredibly validating. We absolutely love the fact that an ever-growing number of couples select Lanier Islands as the spot to start their journey. Years after their vows have been shared and they've danced their first dance, those couples often return to our resort and bring their children. While we are truly honored by the awards, it's most rewarding for our team to know that we have such a special place in the hearts of 'our' couples and their families."

On Saturday, January 27, between noon and 2 p.m., Lanier Islands will welcome engaged couples for an extraordinary event. Wedding Open Houses are free to attend and blend a tour of the Islands with opportunities for guests to sample hors d' oeuvres and cocktails that they may elect to offer to their guests on their wedding day.

Bowling added, "Because so many engagements happen between Christmas and Valentine's Day, we're excited to host our first Wedding Open House of 2024, so engaged couples can get a behind-the-scenes look at more than a dozen indoor and outdoor venues, meet some of our approved vendors, and get to know our Wedding Specialists on a first name basis. We want to create a memorable experience for our guests during this event, highlighting everything that sets a picturesque lakeside wedding at Lanier Islands apart from just about any other wedding venue in the South."
