Cedar Lodge on Honey Creek is an ideal venue for weddings, rehearsal dinners, parties, and corporate events. Draped in the majestic beauty of Live Oak trees and situated along the river’s golden marshes, Cedar Lodge on Honey Creek boasts an incredible view of the Sidney Lanier Bridge. Access the property by car, taking exit 26 on I-95 in Waverly and entering at Cedar Lodge’s private gate, or via boat docking at the venue’s deepwater access. Every aspect of the venue was planned with intentionality: custom chandeliers were locally sourced from Sea Island Forge, an easy vendor load-in entrance with full catering kitchen is provided, and the beautiful bride and groom suites are connected by a private balcony with spiral staircase.
