Excellent Venue!

We had our wedding in August at The Westin Buffalo and we could not recommend it enough! We worked closely with Lauren throughout the whole process and she went above and beyond with every detail! The food was absolutely spectacular! All the staff prior, during, and after the wedding was absolutely amazing and so professional. This venue is excellent and made our dream wedding absolutely beautiful!

Simply Wonderful!

I had my daughter's wedding this past Sunday at the Westin. Going into the wedding weekend we were pretty upset because the weather was cold and rainy. It ruined our plans of having the wedding in the courtyard. We needed to relocate to the Delaware North Lobby. Lauren, the event planner, empathized with us and did everything within her power to make this alternate setting beautiful. She moved plants and added our decor. As for the cocktail hour, she allowed us to have it in the small cozy lobby with the fireplaces to make it more intimate. (They don't usually have the cocktail hour in there). As for the Ballroom/Reception area, it was perfect. It was set up and decorated exactly like I planned and the food and cake were delicious. Our guests are still talking about it! Another special touch and treat that the Westin offer was, Jake, our private "butler" during the wedding. He was available for our every need. He waited on the Bride and Groom and their parents. He made sure we had food and drink and whatever else we needed. He made everyone feel special. I would highly recommend the Westin as a wedding venue.

Book The Westin Buffalo for the Best Day of Your Lives!

We got married this past weekend and it was the best night of our lives thanks to The Westin staff. Right from the very first consultation, Lauren and her team were so friendly, and it was such a weight off our shoulders with the stresses of wedding planning. We were looking for a venue with a lot of natural lighting for the best photos and the ballroom windows allowed our vision to come to life in the most stunning way. The Westin venue coordinator, Lauren, is so detail-oriented and organized that she was one of the main reasons we booked the venue. She was constantly checking in to see if we needed anything and was always quick to answer our many questions. Every single member at the Westin from the front desk to the valet to all the service staff was SO friendly. We were taken care of throughout the process and especially the day of the wedding. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves without having to worry about something going wrong – and literally nothing went wrong. I’m so impressed at the impeccable execution of the team. They set up everything beautifully and exactly the way we wanted so we could just soak it in when we walked in.
We are so glad the weather held up for us to have our ceremony in the courtyard. It was so beautiful and made for the most stunning photos and memories. Our guests absolutely raved about how beautiful the Westin, how well the drinks were made, how absolutely amazing the food was, etc. It was such a joy hearing our guests say it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding.
We’re sad the wedding is over for obvious reasons but one of the biggest reasons is because we won’t get to work with this wonderful team anymore, Lauren especially. They truly were so fun and easy to be around. If there’s one thing, we can say to couples that are getting married and looking for a beautiful venue, book the Westin. You’ll thank yourselves for doing it. There’s so much stress that comes with planning and this team made sure that the set-up and overall experience wasn’t something to worry about. We’d like to extend the biggest thank you to Lauren and the whole team over at the Westin for making it the best night of our lives and being part of memories we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives.
