I cannot speak highly enough about the experience we had working with the Westin staff while planning our wedding. Each and every person really cared to make this day the best day ever. Kyla worked with us early on, she was able to get us everything we could ask for in a wedding package. We were able to sort everything out prior to having to make a decision; she made it had for any other venue to even compete!!

After that we worked with Melanie... Melanie was AMAZING! She was so organized, calm, collected, and responsive! I could go on and on about how wonderful Melanie was... SHE was the reason why our wedding went off without a hitch! Our wedding was amazing; we cannot thank the Westin staff enough for their amazing service, food, and amenities... we couldn't have imagined it any more perfect!

Complete Amazing Wedding Service

I was just married at the Westin Downtown Cleveland we had our ceremony and reception there. I am so so pleased with everything. Our stay was fantastic! The service was exceptional, everything from our bellhop (who was the best one I've ever encountered in my entire life he was enthusiastic and extremely helpful) to the bar staff, to the catering services (the bartenders, waiters, captain Marcus), the professional staff including our Melanie who helped manage the wedding. It was a team effort and they really know how to operate. I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for making our stay and wedding happen. It truly was our dream come true.

Great Room Block and Helpful Service!!

We booked The Westin for a wedding block for our May 2022 wedding. We ended up with about 30 rooms in our wedding block. We worked with Erica Bill and she was fantastic to work with. we booked our original block before COVID and had to postpone and rebook twice. Erica was super professional throughout the entire process and was very responsive to any question that I had. Booking vendors that you feel comfortable with is super important and Erica made me feel at ease the whole time. The hotel was in a good central location and our guests really enjoyed the accommodations. It was super easy to coordinate our welcome bags and Erica even made it a point to come and meet us when we dropped them off. Super grateful to Erica and the Westin team!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Celestial Strings Celestial Strings Wedding Musicians

I've played weddings at the Westin and was delighted when my son and his fiancé selected The Westin for their wedding in 2018. The service is excellent and the layout is perfect for larger weddings where you don't want to share the space with another wedding party. As a wedding musician, I enjoy playing in the atrium, which is perfect for acoustic instruments during cocktail hour, and have found that our Trio and Quartet can be easily heard in the ballroom without microphones. It's a lovely place for musicians to perform and for couples to hold the wedding of their dreams.
