The staff was exceptionally helpful, polite and always available to answer questions or provide assistance. The food at the reception was very good, cold food was cold and hot food was hot. We had several family members and close friends stay the weekend at the hotel and all had a wonderful time. Sarah Locke is terrific to work with and was always available to answer questions. She responded to all my emails in a very timely manner. We did have some issues with central reservations but Amelia sorted everything out for me the day before the event. She did a great job. Our family and friends had a wonderful time and it was the perfect venue for our daughter's wedding. Kudos to The Westin Poinsett!

Working with the Westin Poinsett was wonderful! Sarah Locke was extremely helpful and responded to all of our emails promptly. She even helped some of our guests with complicated room requests (adjoining rooms, needed a refrigerator, etc). When we sent her our final guest and meal list, she pointed out that we were below our food and beverage minimum and gave us the option of adding other things to our reception so we would actually be getting something for our money. The food was amazing, we got many compliments from our guests. On top of that the Gold Ballroom is gorgeous and gave our reception a very classy atmosphere. Overall it was a great experience, and I would definitely use them again!

Sarah Locke very fun and easy to work with. Very quick to reply to email questions. Coordinated the evening problem free.

Our daughter and her new husband's wedding reception was so much fun. The food, ambience and service were wonderful. I have a hard time turning over the details to someone else, but, of course, I had no choice. I was not disappointed!

Sarah Locke was the Event Planner for my daughter's wedding reception. She did an exceptional job and was very helpful from the time we met her until this special time in our life was over. The staff at the reception did an outstanding job and made all of our guests feel "right at home". It was my daughter's "Fairy Tale Wedding" from beginning to end and I so appreciate everything that Sarah and the Westin Poinsett did for the Penley Family. Merry Christmas! Heidi Penley

If you are looking for the best reception package, look no further. The Westin has it all and we couldn't have been happier with our decision. We had the time of our lives on our wedding day and highly recommend the Westin to any other bride and groom. On top of a great venue was an incredible planner at the Westin, Sarah Locke. She kept us at ease during all of the planning and that is priceless. It turned out even better than we had imagined because of her.

The Westin was amazing. They made my wedding day completely stress free! I would highly recommend them to anyone!

We worked with Sarah Locke throughout our planning process and she was wonderful. She was easy to get in touch wtih and efficient with e-mail communication, which was good for me since I probably e-mailed her over 1,000 times this year! :) The Westin Poinsett was the perfect location for our wedding. It was large enough for all our guests (without feeling like everyone was crammed), the food was great, and the decor and feel of the entire hotel is just gorgeous and elegant. We used the Poinsett Ballroom for our ceremony, Mezzanine Level for our cocktail hour, and the Gold Ballroom for our reception (along with a couple other rooms for rehearsal and breakfast functions). Basically, the entire hotel functioned for us, and offered the chance for our large amount of out-of-town guests to enjoy themselves and not have to worry about a drive anywhere else. Every event flowed smoothly and I really cannot think of one thing that went wrong to the point that it couldn't be easily corrected.

The Poinsett made our wedding into a dream. ALL of our friends at the Poinsett took care of our every need and made sure we had the time of our lives. We thank the Poinsett from the bottom of our hearts.

The experience with The Westin and especially working with Sarah Locke and the staff was outstanding. Last minuted changes on our part went smoothly and the guests were very impressed with service and dining experience.

My wedding was absolutely perfect! Sarah was a delight to work with and extremely helpful with any questions! It was perfect evening and we loved every minute of it!!!

This venue was outstanding. I would highly recommend Sarah and the Poinsett. She handled everything with grace and calm. She worked very well with both the bride and the mother! Everything was perfect.

The only issue we had was with the room block - getting it expanded or to have more days in it that originally requested. Sarah was very responsive but the steps we had to go through to get things done for the rooms seemed to be unnecessary. Seems there should be a better way to expand the block of rooms held for guests.

I would do it all over again the very same way and pray it was as wonderful.The hotel was a gracious host.Sarah locke, the wedding coordinator,was so perfect for my needs.She is organized with great detail and was true to her commitment.She walked me through an amazing challenge with perfection.My guests enjoyed themselves and were so complementary of the venue.the setup of mezzanine,terrace and Poinsett ballroom allowed for the flow of the guest with warmth and comfort.The food was outstanding ;my guests said it was the best wedding food.The servers were eager and pleasant.

Besides being a beautiful venue, the Poinsett's staff has the process of a wedding down to a science. They are extremely thorough and detail oriented, which played a huge role in my flawless reception. Additionally, the venue's price includes food (people can not stop talking about how good it was), the wait and bar staff, and the tables, linens, and silverware. I have heard horror stories about brides who choose a venue because it seems like a good price, but once they add all of these things that I mentioned above, they are in over their heads, and have to deal with returning all of their rentals. It is nice to know the complete price before you commit to the venue. For the high quality of the facilites and services that come with having you reception at the Poinsett, the price is a good deal.
