BUFORD, Ga. - s4story -- Well known as "celebration central" for everything from destination weddings to holiday gatherings, Georgia's Lanier Islands Resort has big plans for the heart of the family this Mother's Day Weekend. The lakeside destination invites families to celebrate their moms in an array of ways. They can raise their pinkies and a teacup to salute their favorite matriarch during a chic Afternoon Tea on Friday, May 8, through Sunday, May 10. They can schedule her for a well-deserved hot stone massage or any variety of services at Tranquility Spa throughout Mother's Day Weekend. They can gather around a table in the Grand Ballroom at Legacy Lodge for a decadent Mother's Day Brunch on Sunday, May 10, that's every bit as epic as she is. Or – if they book an overnight stay at the resort – they can do all three and so much more.

"We welcome moms – one and all – for Mother's Day Weekend, and – whether spending the day with us or the entire weekend – we will do everything we can to make sure she feels special from the moment she passes through our gates to when she heads home," said Matthew Bowling, President of Lanier Islands Resort. "We have an incredible concierge team that can help families design a celebration to fit a variety of mom personalities. Where one might love a morning massage followed by an Afternoon Tea, another might like to have some friendly family competition on our pickleball courts, our brand-new Par 3 course – The Six, or Game Changer – our ultimate indoor playground. At center stage that weekend is our Mother's Day Brunch. Led by Director of Operations Nishant Chaudhary and our wildly talented Executive Chef Whitney Okula, our culinary team has truly outdone themselves this year in designing a spread worthy of a queen."
