Amazing venue for our wedding

The amazing team at The Westin in downtown Buffalo helped make our wedding ceremony and reception absolutely beautiful. Lauren Palacios, Cat MacDonald, our concierge for the night, Pablo, the bartenders and all of the staff on hand that night were incredible.

Lauren is super organized, which made for a calm and enjoyable experience. The ceremony and cocktail hour, held in the lobby of Delaware North, was beautiful as was the room we were in for the reception on the 2nd floor of The Westin. The food, catered by the fantastic team at Patina, was incredible. I can't tell you how many of our guests raved about the food - even the wedding cake from Patina (almond cake with almond buttercream and raspberry buttercream inside - wow). And the service - unbelievable. We were so well taken care of from start to finish.

Excellent!

Lauren Campanella was the absolute best to work with! She is responsive, professional and a true delight. She answers all of your questions, gives great ideas, and is very friendly and comforting all the while. Definitely recommend asking to work with Lauren at the Westin! 5 stars!

Amazing Venue

We are so happy with our decision to have our wedding at the Westin! The spaces for cocktail hour and the reception were both beautiful, the food and drinks were delicious, and the service was outstanding. We felt so well looked after by everyone working and it made the day extra special. We worked with Lauren and she was so friendly and helpful throughout the planning process! We highly recommend the Westin to anyone looking for a venue space downtown.
