Experienced team that knows their South Asian Weddings

My husband and I had our multi-day Hindu wedding at the Westin. Aileen was our point of contact and was great to work with! Everything went so smoothly.
The guest rooms and suites were very spacious.
Unfortunately, about 50% of our guest's rooms lost AC on Thursday and Friday, which was not ideal. However, the Westin was able to give us a 50% refund on those nights which was appreciated, and they were able to process the refund within two days of our wedding.
The Westin was a fantastic venue for our South Asian wedding, their staff is knowledgeable and professional.

Beautiful autumn wedding in the lakeside tent

We were married at the end of October in the lakeside tent and everything was perfect. From the very start, we felt confident working with Monica. She was extremely thoughtful and responsive to all our many, many emails with questions. She seemlessly worked with our vendors and helped troubleshoot issues. Monica truly cares about making your day special and will help settle any concerns you have. Our guests were well taken care of and everyone commented on the quality of food. As for a venue, the hotel is very nice and well located for our mainly out of town guests who flew into O'Hare. The Lakeside tent was gorgeous and romantic. Our guests enjoyed the hotel and the quality beds. We were very, very happy with our experience with Westin. Thank you Monica for helping make our day so special!! 5 Stars for going above and beyond.

We absolutely love Aileen and her whole team at the beautiful Westin Chicago Northwest! We have had the pleasure of doing events and weddings for several years with them and their quality, professionalism, and attention to detail is top notch. We love that Aileen and her team really care about the people they work with and they go the extra mile to treat their fellow vendors as guests. They are accommodating, flexible, creative, and knowledgeable. And, their Lakeside Pavilion and outdoor patio is second to none in the city! We highly recommend them!
