Georgia's Lanier Islands Takes Aim at the Role of Cupid This Valentine's Day

BUFORD, Ga. - Jan. 28, 2016 - PRLog -- Well-accustomed to its roles as “Georgia’s Home for Family Adventure,” the Mecca for Corporate Meetings and the Go-To Destination for Destination Weddings, Lanier Islands takes aim at Cupid’s job with a Valentine’s Day celebration of epic proportions. On Friday, February 12, Saturday, February 13 and Sunday, February 14, the southern lakeside resort has a number of events planned throughout its flagship Legacy Lodge to meet the needs of suitors of all sorts… and sizes.

On the heels of the wild success of its Parents Night Out – Kids Night Out New Year’s Eve Celebration, the resort plans to give that same concept a sweetheart spin with the Family Valentine’s Day Package. Mom and Dad can enjoy a romantic dinner overlooking the lake at Sidney’s Restaurant followed by music, dancing and drink specials at Bullfrog’s Bar & Grille. Meanwhile, the kids can enjoy a Valentine’s Day-themed dinner party of their own - complete with a movie, fun and games – at the opposite end of the hotel under the watchful eyes of the resort’s Legacy Kids Club counselors. This package includes all of the above* plus luxury accommodations at Legacy Lodge and breakfast buffet for four the following morning.

For couples who opt to arrive without children, the Valentine’s Sweetheart Package might prove the ideal escape. This package includes a romantic dinner for two at Sidney’s Restaurant – followed by music, dancing and drink specials at Bullfrog’s Bar & Grille, as well as luxury accommodations at Legacy Lodge, breakfast for two the following morning, and a special Valentine’s Day gift from the Lanier Islands staff. Couples may also opt for Lanier Islands’ popular A Little Romance Package, which is available year-round and includes luxury accommodations at Legacy Lodge, chocolate covered strawberries and chilled champagne upon arrival, breakfast for two the following morning, and mini couples’ massage. The Ride and Romance Package – also available year-round – includes luxury accommodations at Legacy Lodge, breakfast for two the following morning, and a special 45-minute private guided trail ride for two, which leads to a private picnic along the water’s edge. Reservations to enjoy a Valentine’s Day-themed prix-fixe dinner at Sidney’s Restaurant without the overnight stay are also available.

Of course, Lanier Islands has also proven a popular place to pop the question. The resort’s team of wedding specialists welcomes the opportunity to assist would-be grooms in finding the ideal location to ask for their intended’s hand in marriage, as well as build a unique weekend to celebrate their impending union – which they will no doubt choose to host at one of the resort’s 20 stunning indoor and outdoor wedding venues.
