So accommodating!

I knew about this venue because I went here for a prior wedding and another event. I checked it out for mine because they do in house ceremonies, it was near our house and friends and family, and overall always had a great time here. It came highly recommended. The staff from the start were friendly got also gave advise to the nervous bride (me). They were also accommodating to the requests I had made for my wedding and I really appreciated that. Our maitre de Betty was amazing. She was so sweet and attentive even at rehearsal! The friends that got married there before were invited to this wedding and she remembered them. Betty remembered them and they remembered her. I think that is a great sentiment that they had a great night at theirs as I had a great night at mine and Betty and staff really made that happen!

60th Bday celebration

I just celebrated my 60th birthday on September 24th 2021 and it was EVERYTHING that I hoped it would be. Joe my maitre d was attentive the entire night and extremely professional from the moment that I walked in the door. I have to mention Genesis the office assistant who was always prompt and on point, she made sure that all of my calls and emails were returned in a timely manner. All of my guests are still raving about how delicious the food and desserts were. I wish I could do it all over again. I would highly recommend The Westwood for any celebration.
