Gorgeous venue with excellent service!

When we were searching for a venue in the DC area, we wanted one with the convenience of a one-stop-shop (read: minimize external vendors), but still felt unique - and we wanted outdoor space! Enter the Westin! We knew this space was perfect for us - the Promenade is gorgeous with hardwood floors and columns and a full wall of doors and windows that lead out to an amazing courtyard. If the venue itself wasn't stunning enough, we had the absolute pleasure of working with Tia Ward for TWO reschedules due to COVID! She was flexible, had excellent attention to detail, and answered every one of my many many questions. She made our vision for a Donut Wall and a balloon party come to life and the Westin even allowed our French Bulldog puppy to attend! We truly couldn't have asked for anything more and we received rave reviews from our guests about the event space and the food. We would have another event at the Westin in a heartbeat!

The most beautiful wedding day ever

Words can't express how much the Westin out did themselves. Tia, our wedding coordinator was phenomenal. I highly recommend this venue to get married at

A Wonderful Experience

Hosting our wedding at the Georgetown Westin was a dream come true. I can't say enough how positive our experience was, particularly in the midst of COVID. We ended up pushing our planned 2020 event to 2021 and they were gracious, communicative, and hands-on every step of the way.

We loved that they were a one stop shop for many of our needs; our guests stayed there, we got ready there, our ceremony was in the courtyard and the party inside the beautiful, airy ballroom. Linens, tables, chairs, food, drink, etc: everything was included and the pricing model was transparent and extremely customizable. At no point did we feel nickel-and-dimed, nor were we pressured to spend more than we were comfortable. The event director Tia personally handled our wedding from our initial postponement through to our goodbye breakfast and was always kind, responsive, and informative.

The space is beautiful with lots of natural light, lovely wood floors, and high ceilings. Our guests raved about the food, and loved the convenience of staying at the Westin while they explored D.C.

I would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a DC city wedding!

Forget fairytales, the Westin Georgetown is a dream wedding venue

From our first call, to our introduction and walk through with Tia Ward, the Director of Event Planning and Operations, and everything since then, we never doubted for a moment that we had the best person for our wedding. Her mix of approachability, kindness with impeccable professionalism is truly remarkable, and something we really value.

Tia and her team helped us plan and experience a truly beautiful, meaningful, and fun wedding in a month and half! The food and beverage options were on point. Everyone we heard from enjoyed their entree and loved the venue as much as we did.

Merci encore! You helped us create an evening of magic.

Wonderful Wedding, Great Service and Location

We had a wonderful experience at the Georgetown Westin with Tia Ward. Tia and the Westin was amazing and made our wedding something very special! Despite the challenges of Covid and last-minute changes and weather, Tia and the Westin rolled with it, were flexible, and made the wedding amazing and fantastic. The space is beautiful, with the inner/outdoor courtyard, promenade, and ballroom. We had planned to use the courtyard and promenade, but due to unexpected weather, Tia and the Westin were able to move us to the ballroom and promenade combo at the last-minute. Luckily, Tia had prepared extensively, even for the unlikely eventuality of drastic weather changes.

The Westin Georgetown is a beautiful, perfect location in West End. Staff were incredibly helpful and nice. And most of all, Tia Ward, director of events, helped us out at every moment to make it the event of our dreams, even with special requests and last-minute changes. Everything went better than we could have possibly expected, despite covid-related challenges and special needs. We could not have been happier, thanks Tia and the Westin!!

Great Day, Great Service, Great Wedding

The Westin Georgetown provided us great service for our wedding. They were responsive throughout the process, we had great food, and they very easy to work with. Along with that, the courtyard for the ceremony and the room for the reception was great. All of this was done at an excellent price. I highly recommend them.

SO glad we picked the Westin Georgetown!

My fiancé and I are both so glad that we had our wedding at the Westin Georgetown! We visited many other venues nearby but immediately fell in love with how beautiful the Westin Georgetown was when we first visited!

We worked with Rebecca who’s our planner/coordinator - she was very friendly, flexible, and responsive! Every time we visited the venue, the entire staff was friendly as well! It was so nice to be able to host our ceremony, cocktail hour & reception all at one place (bonus: they only do one wedding per night so you get their full service/attention!); it’s also convenient for our out of town guests to be able to stay at the hotel, not to mention it’s in such a great location for guests to enjoy the city!

It was incredibly helpful that the wedding package took care of many aspects of the planning from wedding cake, cake stand, to even table numbers/linens so we didn’t have to worry about them. There are also tons of restaurants nearby which makes it easy to plan rehearsal dinner the night before.

If you’re looking for a stress-free wedding planning process, I’d highly recommend the Westin Georgetown :)

Amazing hidden gem of a venue!

The Westin has one of the few (or maybe the only) hotel ballrooms with hardwood floors in DC instead of conference room carpet and retractable walls. We looked at much more expensive venues (Four Seasons, Park Hyatt, St Regis) and the reception space at the Westin was far and away the prettiest. The others didn’t even compare. The Westin has beautiful hardwood floors, marble columns, and amazing floor to ceiling windows to the courtyard (which is also beautiful). The staff was easy to work with and was super responsive to any questions. We worked with Rebecca and she made our lives so much easier so we could enjoy our big day without worries. Hotels have the added benefit of being mostly all inclusive, which makes planning and budgeting easier than if you have a raw event space — and far less stressful as the bride. We loved the Westin and can’t believe we didn’t know this space existed!

Classic venue that makes planning simple

We loved holding our wedding at the Westin Georgetown. We worked with Rebecca, who quickly answered all our questions leading up to our May wedding and was also our point person for the day of. Thanks to her, the entire day went off without a hitch. When it started pouring during our outdoor ceremony, the staff at the Westin had umbrellas out to our guests within minutes. Beyond the event staff, the hotel staff was lovely as well. The valet helped us load our car up the morning after the wedding which was an unexpected but very much appreciated touch. We were also able to leave decorations in a side room to pick up the next day, allowing us to head to our room stress free once our reception was over. The space is absolutely beautiful. From the ceremony in the beautiful courtyard to the reception in the elegant Promenade with its tall columns, we loved saying "I do" at the Westin. The presidential suite was also perfect for getting ready with my bridesmaids and the natural light from the large windows led to beautiful photos in the bridal suite. Ultimately, we wanted to get married at a hotel because it makes the logistics so much easier. We also got so much included with our venue, making the Westin a great value. Our choice of tablecloths, napkins and chargers, as well as candles on the tables, floating candles down the staircase, the cake platter, cake serving set and card box were all provided by the Westin, making planning so much easier. On top of that, the food is amazing. I can 100% recommend the Westin if you are looking for an elegant hotel that makes planning easy!

Perfection in the city. Elegant, understated, everything planned and done right. You will not find a more convenient, magnificent location for a wedding in Washington, DC than at The Westin Georgetown. I love coming here to officiate the ceremony, because everything is carefully planned, well executed, and done to make it look easy ... and to be easy for you. Plenty of room for your guests to wander and mingle. A wonderful outdoor patio, protected from any city noise. Great food. Don't miss this one!

My clients needed to change their venue the week of their wedding do to a water pipe break. The Westin Georgetown SAVED THE WEDDING. They were so accommodating, their staff was wonderful, the venue space was beautiful. I hope to work with them again soon!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Noelle and the rest of the team at The Westin Georgetown. My clients had a lot of moving pieces involving their ceremony and reception. Noelle was extremely flexible and accommodating to their request. I found the team to be pleasant, helpful and courteous. I would recommend this venue to any of my clients in the future.
