BUFORD, Ga. - GeorgiaChron -- Georgia's Lanier Islands Resort invites engaged couples throughout the South to converge on the lakeside destination for an experience they aren't soon to forget. On Sunday, March 22, from noon to 2:30 pm, the resort will play host to its first Wedding Open House of 2026. During the free-to-attend event, couples will have an opportunity to tour more than a dozen stunning indoor and outdoor wedding venues. They'll also rub elbows with a wide array of wedding vendors, enjoy samples of some of the culinary team's most popular catered dishes, and each couple will have a chance to be among the first to experience The Six at Legacy Golf Course – the resort's new Par 3 course. For those who hit a hole-in-one, they will win $5000 off their Lanier Islands Wedding.*

"Our Wedding Open Houses provide couples with a free sneak peek at why Lanier Islands Resort has been inducted into The Knot's Best of Weddings Hall of Fame," said Matthew Bowling, President of Lanier Islands Resort. "Beyond our picturesque lakeside backdrop, our resort has an incredible Wedding Team that works tirelessly to ensure an event that checks all the boxes and exceeds all expectations. Add to that a highly skilled culinary team and a thoughtfully curated list of vendors who are every bit as invested in delivering a dream wedding as we are. I should know! My wife and I said our own 'I Do's' here at Peachtree Falls two and a half years ago. With a variety of accommodations, amenities, and attractions, we're ideally designed for a destination wedding that flows seamlessly from the rehearsal to the reception."
