It Takes Two to Tango This Valentine's Day at Atlanta's Lanier Islands

BUFORD, Ga. - Jan. 19, 2018 - PRLog -- As a mecca for paramours looking to pop the question and one of the Southeast's leading destination wedding sites, Lanier Islands understands that not all couples are created equal. This is especially true on Valentine's Day when Atlanta couples are seeking something special to share instead of the standard "one size fits all" dozen roses and a box of chocolates. In order to meet the needs of couples of varying personalities, the lakeside resort has dreamed up two very special accommodation packages that each say, "I love you" in a memorable way.

"There's a very good reason why we're so popular among brides- and grooms-to-be," said Stephanie Orr, VP of Sales & Marketing for Lanier Islands. "Romance is literally IN THE AIR at Lanier Islands. In addition to a wide variety of indoor and outdoor wedding venues, the natural beauty of our resort and romantic feel of our Lodge are alluring to couples seeking everything from a romantic getaway to the ideal spot to say 'I do!' This year, we're taking a bit of that same magic that we infuse into every wedding on our shores and putting it into the one day dedicated to celebrating love each year – Valentine's Day. Best of all, we're not limiting our couples to just one night! Since Valentine's Day falls on a Wednesday this year, couples can opt to celebrate with us ON Valentine's Day or on the Friday or Saturday before or after the holiday."
