LAKE LANIER ISLANDS, GA (September 24, 2007) – Surrounded by the beautiful waters of Lake Lanier, Lake Lanier Islands Resort is pleased to announce the opening of it’s new outdoor wedding venue, the Summer House Gardens.

The Summer House Gardens is an exquisite wedding location with breath-taking views of the water and pristine nature found at Lake Lanier. At water’s edge, is a three-tiered gazebo constructed of heavy timber and natural stone pillars and flooring. A large, arched rooftop connects the two individual tiers together signifying the unity of two lives coming together. Underneath, the couple’s “I do” will be echoed through the tall Georgia Pine Trees that accent the beauty of the natural setting. Perfect for both large and small ceremonies, make your dream day one to remember with up to 250 of your closest friends and family members.

Keep the celebration going with a reception at our Summer House Pavilion. Share that first dance, laugh with friends and dine with family under the 300-seat wedding tent directly above the lawn from the Summer House Garden. The Summer House Garden and Summer House Pavilion are both nestled behind the Emerald Pointe Hotel & Conference Center. The entire wedding party, family and friends can easily be accommodated with our newly renovated guest rooms, or in one of our two-bedroom Lake Houses with private patio, Jacuzzi and fireplaces in each Lake House.

Before you say “I do” relax and rejuvenate at our new, upscale Tranquility Spa. Its menu of services offers a spectrum of unprecedented treatments ranging from basic massage to stone therapy treatment, as well as European facials, aromatherapy body wraps, signature pedicures and manicures and more. Share a special afternoon tea party with the bridesmaids at Tranquility Spa and unwind before the big day.

The opening of the new Summer House Garden and Tranquility Spa are just part of the exciting new venues coming to Lake Lanier Islands Resort. Escape to Georgia’s great lake…what will you remember?
