Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more! Jeff and his staff at The Factory are so professional and communicative, making the planning process relatively seamless. We loved that they provided several vendor lists; some were required and others were optional. Every single recommendation far exceeded our expectations! I could not give this venue any higher praise, they are amazing!

Awarded Best of Zola
Mrs. Arlene is the sweetest and most welcoming vendor I ever spoke with. She ensured that all the details for how we wanted the day to go was discussed. She offered different vendors that we could work with. She worked with my tight budget for my small wedding and made our day more special that I could’ve dreamed of. She was consistent with checking in with me which was greatly appreciated since I was planning my own wedding and was super busy with work and everything else. She was there the day of the wedding helping out in all the ways she could, she even fixed me and my husband’s plates so we can sit down and relax. Her team of photographers are the absolute best and were so sweet. Over all the whole experience was amazing and I can’t recommend her enough. She honestly feels like family and on top of everything the venue is beautiful! It’s an 1800 century that they’ve renovated, but kept all of its charm. If you’re looking for a small venue for a baby shower, wedding, birthday party. This is perfect! I am definitely going back for future events.

Champagne & Caviar Occasions provided an exceptional wedding venue experience. Rhonda, the venue senior coordinator, offered excellent communication and was extremely knowledgeable about the space and planning process. The venue itself was a blank canvas that Rhonda transformed into a fairy tale setting for our special day. She was very accommodating, even with last-minute requests, which helped make our wedding seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend Champagne & Caviar Occasions to any couple looking for a beautiful, customizable venue with a professional and attentive team.

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!

My husband and I got married at White Laurel Estate on May 13, 2023! WLE truly made our wedding dreams come true. This was the first place we toured when starting our search and immediately after visiting, we knew it was the one. Jay Rogers was so welcoming and accommodating throughout the entire wedding planning process. There are not many venue owners that are as helpful and willing to answer questions in such a timely response in the way that Jay did. The grounds are stunning and make for the most beautiful photos - with the rolling hills, black & white accents, and both indoor/outdoor options. We rented both of the cottages for the night of the wedding and are so glad that we did - they were beautifully decorated and spacious to accommodate our wedding party following the wedding. Jay, his wife, son, and daughter-in-law were there to set up, ensure we had everything the way that we wanted it, and to shuttle us around on the golf cart for our photos in the fields during cocktail hour and we truly appreciated that! We are so sad it is over but would not change a single thing, thanks to White Laurel Estate. I highly recommend this venue to any and every couple on their search for THE one!
