They did a great job in accommodating our requests. The WESTIN and Staff are in a League of their own! I was able to relax on my big day as they handled all the setup, even all my crazy little details. I can honestly say there is nothing more I would have wanted--we are forever grateful for the Westin and its amazing experience and staff--espcially Linsey and Craig!! The grand ball room is beautiful, in its own right, so I also found it nice that decorating with flowers/table numbers, details etc. Being an out of state bride, the staff at the Westin made planning from across the country so My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Westin 2 weeks ago and we cannot compliant the staff enough! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we appreciate it.

ook so a wedding planner isn't entirely essential. They book up fast and are only $20 more to upgrade. The hotel also provided convenient accommodations for the guests who needed them. Does it get any more beautiful than the historic ballroom at the Westin Columbus? Best of all their sales people referred us to some great vendors! I was married at The Westin Hotel on April 18th. Kathy, their coordinator was BEYOND helpful and so easy to work with. We dropped off boxes of decorations and candy/jars for our candy table and she put together EVERYTHING just as we had discussed. Our sales managers, banquet team and all of the staff work very hard and I have shared your feedback with the entire team.

Anna, who is the head of catering, was awesome. Linsey Bruce was our coordinator on location for the Westin. While not the best budget wedding venue for us it was worth every penny and would do it all over the exact same way. I used The Westin Columbus for my wedding this past August and everything was truly perfect! All of my vendors aside from my invitations were from local Columbus vendors . The standard rooms are pretty small. The hotel itself is beautiful, with marble floors, warm lighting, and stained glass windows--breath taking! All of our guests were gushing about how beautiful everything was. We worked with Melissan, and to say the least, she was AMAZING!! Not only is the Westin the most beautiful event space in Columbus, but they were so easy to work with as well. Our team takes a lot of pride in what they do and this will be shared with them. I couldn't decide if I needed a day of wedding coordinator, but Penny assured me that she would be our coordinator, and I'm so glad I didn't spend the money on someone extra. The pictures were stunning and it added to the romantic feeling and our color scheme of gold and blush pink. My fianc and I did not feel good about giving them our money and the uncertainty of having to spend the next year with someone that difficult to work with. The ceremony and reception went off perfectly, and all the small, personal touches and details meant so much. I couldn't imagine my wedding being anywhere else or going any smoother.

Its marble floors, mirrored wall, stained glass windows, amazing drapery, and the lighting is trimmed around the room perfectly, everything is sparkling and the room needs no decorations.

We had lots of food options(cheese/meat station & late night snacks), and from what we had time to eat was amazing, and the guests loved it too! Everything was simply perfect. stly say they took my breath away and the whole presentation truly exceeded our expectations. They said the band would be covered with pipe and draping during the ceremony and it wasn't. The wedding venue is absolutely gorgeous and my guests were blo My husband and I had our wedding there two weeks ago and it was AMAZING! The ballroom is gorgeous - marble floors and beautiful gold accents. a email and phone, making sure everything was as perfect as it could be for the big day. From the wedding coordinator (Melissan) to the beautiful ballroom to the service we received all weekend, we couldnt be happier! The ballroom set up manager, her banquet captain are very special people. Also the bridal suite is beautiful and provides the perfect backdrop for getting ready photos and videos. We sure did, and our guests still rave about their experiences there as well. They had side rooms for the vendors. Linsey and the entire Westin staff went above and beyond to make my entire wedding experience one to remember! From the hotel rooms to staff everything is perfect! t for us. We were shown the reception rooms before guests were let in to make sure it was set to our standards, and again they exceeded and continued to impress me with the details.

My lighting (who was done by an external vendor, Keith Davis at PSAV, who the Westin uses exclusively for lighting and draping) was something all my guests were talking about. Very happy start to finish! We were looking for an indoor ceremony and reception venue downtown for our February wedding, and the Westin stood out as the most elegant venue we looked at. Apparently they double booked the room with a preferred business traveler who could leave anytime he wanted. We only had a few minor things that weren't perfect, which is why I didn't gi We had our reception in the Westin Ballroom.

She was great to work with and we knew everything would work out great in her hands. Now alcohol, our bartender was amazing! We looked at many other hotels downtown to have our wedding at and for the price and the elegance of the room, I really dont think you can beat the Westin! They accommodated every single request and then some. Please note: all room sizes are approximate. She really thought of everything and guided me through a process that I had formerly considered too intimidating to touch on my own. Our one issue was with our guests making reservations through the hotel. Responsiveness is the first sign of strong customer service, and Craig Tremblay was very quick to respond to our inquiries at any time of day. On the day of the wedding, she took on everything so that myself and my future husband could relax with our friends and family. The historic ballroom is absolutely beautiful, it provides a form of elegance that cannot be found elsewhere in central Ohio. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! your EVERY need. gh out our long engagement ( a year and a half) I started off with Craig and he emailed me back with all my hundreds of question I had in the beginning.

We would like to thank everyone at the Westin for making our special day like a dream. Melissan did such a great job orchestrating everything and making sure everything was perfect. Anna kept track of every single detail and executed everything perfectly. She was not flexible. I was continuously checked in on by Linsey and her staff and informed about everything taking place that day. ything I'd hoped they'd be. supporting us each and every step of the way. I highly recommend it! Linsey did a phenomenal job planning and assisting in all the details of the day. The ballroom is gorgeous and is initially what made us choose the Westin, but that is just a small part of what made our wedding at the Westin amazing. The reception was held in the Grand Ballroom, a lovely, exquisite venue that was elegant and perfect for our daughter's wedding. I had my wedding reception at the Westin and from start to finish, we were happy with every aspect the venue had to offer. The perfect venue for an elegant wedding for 200+ people with packages starting at $100 per person. was best simple and understated. Thank you Westin Columbus for the wedding reception of our dreams!!! It was a pleasant surprise since that was the last thing on my mind when I had called them. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! Generally used for meals and sessions involving small group discussions. This venue is a fairy tale, and there are not enough words that can express how happy we were with our decision in choosing The Westin. They were married at the Westin Dec. 27th, 2003 and said they had the most perfect day, loved the Westin, and just wanted to wish us all the best.

Upon first seeing the space and meeting with the Westin staff, (Craig and Linsey are the event coordinators), we knew the Westin was righ My gosh, you guys. I also worked with Craig a bit in the beginning and he is great too. Only slight inconvenience for our guests was we had to change the type of rooms in our block.

On the night of the event, everything went smoothly and the guests have not stopped raving! We actually had extra guests attend the brunch and they were able to accomidate everyone very quickly.

From the front desk to the food to the housekeeping staff to the sales teamall were wonderful and h We booked The Westin for our reception because we fell in the love with the elegance of the ballroom and desired an exceptional level of service that we knew The Westin could provide. I could not have asked for anything more! From the waiter who just waited on my husband and I to the bartender that kept extra of my signature drink so I could enjoy it throughout the night and the concierge service to my room, thank you!! Our reception was incredible! The day of the wedding I was told we would not have the presidential suite as promised to get ready (hair and makeup) in with my girls. would recommend 100%!!

Not only is the venue wonderful, but the staff was great! The most desirable setup for medium to large-size lectures. The WESTIN exceeded at everything.

There were also so many small details that made the Westin exceptional; for example, during the reception the staff serviced the bridal suite and left us a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered cherries. We worked with Linsey Bruce who did a great job making sure that all of our needs were met and our day ran smoothly. Special dietary requests again, all accommodated with ease and perfection, the staff had it set beautifully, and nothing lost with their attention to detail, while giving excellent service.

I had misgivings at first, but it ended up being so much less stressful for me and for my guests to stay in one, beautiful place. No matter what your vision entails, our Columbus wedding venue offers the perfect location. Stand-up social function where beverages and light foods are served. What more can I say? Appropriate for interactive discussions and note-taking sessions for fewer than 25 people. The suites are to die for and the food was simply fablous. The ballroom at the westin is amazing. In addition, the venue was one of the few hotel venues that included the alcohol in the food price. We also had the opportunity to taste the menu with our parents in the fall before the wedding, as well as meet with Melissan to go over last minute details a few weeks before. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend the Westin! Elegant, beautiful, and timeless. The only small issue we had was more with the front desk staff and them forgetting to hand out Welcome bags but Linsey swooped in and helped the situation! The day could not have went better and the Westin staff was fantastic, both at the hotel overall and those working the event. The Westin was a wonderful location to host my November wedding.

The choice was not easy but the peppercorn crusted filet melted in your mouth and the sun dried tomato pesto salmon was so meaty. Thanks Westin and Melissan for making the day so special!!! We were also happy that we did the brunch. Having our hotel, ceremony, and reception all in one place made everything so simple, especially because I was worried it would be a snowy day (it ended up being 60 degrees and sunny!) It didn't look great in pictures. This means on your wedding day, you will not be listening to another party's music. Linsey Bruce, the event coordinator, is incredible! Sign up on The Knot to reach more couples and book more weddings! They have a great area for the cocktail hour as well, that is separate from the Ballroom which is a unique atmosphere. We did the ceremony and reception here. The bridal suite is complimentary for the wedding night but if you want to get ready in the suite (hair, makeup etc) you'll have to book for Friday night as well which adds to the bill considering that the Presidential suite is the most expensive room in the hotel. She made smart and valuable suggestions, she had the day running perfectly on time and beautifully orchestrated, and I cannot think of a single way in which it would have been easier.

I literally just sat back and relaxed on my big day.

From the first time we walked in there I knew it was where we were going to be married. It was very important us that our guests experienced a transformation from the ceremony to the reception and that they did not feel like it was "just another hotel wedding."

We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness together! In addition, they From the very beginning, we were impressed with the Westin. My guests are still commenting on how beautiful the event was and how pleasant/professional the entire service staff was. I'm sure Linsey could work her magic on larger numbers however 270 made the ballroom feel full.

I could not write enough wonderful things about The Westin for our wedding reception.

Therefore we were put in a much smaller room and only got into the suite right before the wedding after we were done getting ready. Thank you so much for the kind words. all my i's dotted and t's crossed.

And the food is ama My husband and I got married here last weekend and we couldn't be happier with The Westin!! were beyond accommodating and nice. h the marble floors, the gold archways, the windows, and high ceilings, it is superior to any venue we explored. The staff at the Westin Columbus were absolutely perfect. I think we ended up saving quite a bit of money since we didn't need to book lots of extras (hotel room, transportation, brunch the next day, etc). I think the Westin is the most beautiful wedding venue in Columbus! If you're looking for a beautiful, easy/one-stop-shopping venue the Westin is a great choice! Over all it was a good experience and if I were planning an event I would be sure to ask for Linsey Bruce, she made the experience so amazing and less stressful. We worked with one wedding planner at the beginning, but shortly after booking, she moved. We looked at many different venues before being swayed by the ballroom's beauty.

elped to make our dream wedding come true!!! This is a convenient setup to use before breaking into discussion or role-playing groups because chairs can be moved. Camela Jones, the wedding coordinator/specialist is second to none. Everyone went so far out of their way to make sure everything was taken care of and we were pleased. xtraordinaire, was the most helpful person in my entire wedding planning process. I cannot rave enough about the Westin hotel and its impeccable staff. During our reception my cousin pulled my husband and I aside. The most beautiful ballroom in the city.

The Westin is literally the Pierre of Columbus and I would recommend it to anyone and EVERYONE. Sarah and Sehul xoxo. If anything went wrong, we were completely unaware as the whole day was perfect to us! The best part is I did not feel like 'just another wedding' to them, I could tell they really cared for us and every staff member we met were genuinely kind, it was so awesome! Not only did getting married in the historical ballroom make me feel like a princess, but the Westin staff made the experience as stress free as possible. The Westin, Linsey Bruce in particular, spent countless hours planning and ensuring my event was PERFECT. We keep trying to come up with another event that we could have at the Westin because it was such a joy! I stayed in the Westin Friday night with my sister and parents before the wedding and Saturday night in a different room with DH. We have many out of town guests, this was our venue for both the wedding and reception. Caitlin was very helpful with the block and all of our guests seemed happy with their rooms! The venue speaks for itself- gorgeous, elegant and timeless. The bridal suite is huge and provided plenty of space for me and all ten of my bridesmaids to get We could not have picked a better venue to have our wedding at! She put me at ease the first time I met her and made sure the reception ran smoothly. My guests gave me so many compliments about her. The ballroom speaks for itself, it is breathtaking; however, it is the personal service that sets it apart. and we overall had a splendid experience. We worked with Michael and he was very helpful.

The cocktail area was very large. I was happy to get married there. My mom was very involved in planning since I was out of town for the majority of my engagement, but she was very impressed with Lindsey (the event manager at The Westin) and the rest of the staff. The staff is professional and friendly and did a superb job at the wedding reception. The food was cooked perfectly and on par with high-end restaurants, and the staff was so nice and extremely detail oriented.

Chef Luis is first class.

), they surprise you with comfy mr and mrs bathrob WOW! I loved having the Westin as our venue. Once we had the food, those concerns flew out the window. We asked them so many questions from what sequence works best for the reception to cancelling a room for one of our guests. These are best for interaction with a leader seated at the head of the setup. The staff there was great and kept in touch with me thou For a beautiful traditional wedding in a historic landmark, check out the Westin on High. The entire weekend was amazing but it wouldn't have been the same if it wasn't for the fabulously attentive and gracious staff at The Westin! From making sure that the parents of the Bride and Groom had royal accommodations to adjusting her schedule to stay super late for our food tasting, her commitment to service is unheard of! The day we contacted the WESTIN to book our date, we sat down and discussed packages (what came with each) and options. The venue is a historic hotel, and it has beautiful marble floors and stained-glass windows, as well as a cute balcony and wonderful staff. We are still getting compliments on the food, the staff, the atmosphere, the wedding itself. We had many compliments on the food (especially the scallop appetizers and mahi mahi for the entre) and the drinks, as well as the service. I said to my new hubby I cant image she treats all of her brides like this! We truly could not have asked for a better experience. She certainly did not go out of her way to get our business and it was quite sad because I was in love with the ballroom. We evaluated a number of potential venues and from the beginning the Westin really stood out. I am so glad we made the decision that we did. Constructive feedback: Because the ballroom sells itself if feels like our wedding coordinator was not on the ball. I have dreamed of my wedding since I was a little girl. What does your dream wedding look like? zing! They made everything so incredibly easy!

The staff at the Westin were extremely responsive and helpful in planning my wedding, and it was beautiful.

The room block price made it more reasonable compared to other hotels downtown. People are still raving about the food. We hired a "day-of" wedding planner just to tie in the loose ends on the actual day which actually was very helpful! I can't say enough great things about the Westin and it's staff. However, Linsey was very quick in adding/changing rooms. Advice for any brides/grooms- recommend your guests to book suites ASAP. ns made this a wonderful experience.

Mainly, Natalie Wares was an absolute dream to work with. Caitlin went above and beyond to communicate with us through the entire process. Inspiring toasts? rmous help in the months leading up to the event. We worked with Michael who was so accommodating and helpful. Our reception was in the Grand Ballroom and it was so beautiful, this is a room that does not require much decoration! I remember I was so excited because it had been so amazing at the food tasting. I can't wait for the next time we get to go to The Westin! Ask for for her! put me at ease.

I would highly recommend getting married at the Westin! e them feel welcomed and the amenities were plenty to where they didn't have to leave the property!!! The staff was great there. She also saved us hors d'oeuvres and drinks from our cocktail hour so we could try them when we arrived to the reception! I was most impressed with how attentive the staff was. From ensuring the food at my kosher-style event was better tasting then any non-kosher event I have ever attended, to trying a new format with the room that she had never done (that ended up perfect) to make me happy, to helping us with our overlays, answering my 5 billion phone calls and emails, making sure we did not miss any detail and ensuring the actual evening was PERFECT, I have never in my 8 years being in a client facing role dealt with anyone and any staff with such a level of professionalism and is so good at their jobs. I had rave reviews about my food as well, and everyone was very attentive before and during the reception as well.

We held a brunch at the Westin the next morning and they had moved some of the centerpieces to the brunch tables without me even asking- very impressed that they thought to do this! The food was delicious - we had the goat cheese chicken and filet mignon.
