Lake Pines Event Center sits on 18 acres in East Columbus, Georgia, where a family campground established in 1967 has grown into a full-service event property with four distinct spaces. The grounds center on a nearly century-old converted barn, a handcrafted chapel, an outdoor pavilion, and an early 19th-century historic home — each built from salvaged architectural materials gathered from across Georgia, giving the property a sense of layered history rather than manufactured rustic charm. The Barn seats up to 150 guests and features drop lights strung from the ceiling, a stone fireplace, Tiffany-style lighting, and a corner stage for live music. The Chapel, completed in 1997, incorporates church pews from Whitewater Baptist, wainscoting from an old post office, and a steeple from Hiawassee. The outdoor Pavilion, set on a stone-trimmed terraced meadow with westward views, accommodates up to 200 guests for ceremonies under open skies. The Lillie House, a restored shotgun-style home, seats 45 and is well suited for showers, rehearsal dinners, and small receptions. The venue hosts weddings, corporate gatherings, and seasonal celebrations, with flexibility for preferred vendors and customized services.

Green Island Country Club sits along the wooded shores of Lake Oliver in Columbus, Georgia, where pine forests meet the water created by a Chattahoochee River hydroelectric project in the late 1950s. The club opened in 1962 as the centerpiece of the Green Island Hills residential community. In 1995, a full redesign by Cole & Hornsby transformed the clubhouse into a structure modeled on 17th- and 18th-century English Country Houses, with a gated approach, motor court, and wings extending from a central building. The clubhouse hosts a range of private events including wedding receptions, corporate meetings and seminars, graduations, family reunions, and milestone celebrations. A large ballroom at the heart of the facility can be partitioned for more intimate gatherings, and formal and casual dining spaces offer views of the 18-hole golf course designed by architect George Cobb, who consulted for Augusta National. The club's culinary and banquet teams oversee food and service for all private events, with coordination available through the Catering Director.
