Vow Renewal - Exceeded Expectations

Celebrations can be anxious ridden especially wedding related celebrations, but not if you have Sabrina Soler coordinating your event. The hotel is in a great location being right across the street from the beach and a short walk down from lively entertainment, bars & restaurants. I was a bit nervous about the valet situation for our guests (which BTW valet for guests is included with the package) and it worked out just fine. The valet staff does a great job at dealing with how busy it is down there. Our ceremony & reception was to take place on the Sky Terrace during a rainy weekend. Sabrina stayed in touch with me every step of the way and suggested moving the reception to a ballroom. We are so glad to have taken her advice because the heat & humidity were awful after the rain. The last minute change came with a need for chair covers and Sabrina once again came to the rescue by personally going to pick up the covers.

The entire hotel staff and all of the people that worked the ceremony were top-notch and we are so grateful for all of their help in ensuring our ceremony was unforgettable. Thank you to all and very special heartfelt thank you to Sabrina

Wonderful Experience

We were one of the original covid weddings. Original date was 3/21/20 and due to Broward Country rules, we had to cancel the event the Saturday before the wedding. Alison from the Westin worked with us month after month to keep coming up with new dates/options (we must have moved it 3-4 times) before finally having it on 6/19/21. It was absolutely wonderful after waiting so long. They dealt with all the issues that came up during the wedding, and carried everything out as if we hadn't waiting a whole year + to finally have the event! We would definitely have another event there and recommend it to anyone!

Amazing Experience!

Alison and staff gave me the most amazing experience I could’ve asked for. Replanning my covid wedding was a breeze. My phone calls were always answered, frantic texts were never a bother. Hands down, best experience!

Exceptional service

Alison and her team were exceptional and were very accommodating with everything. The sky terrace was perfect for our cocktail and reception. Everyone enjoyed the view of the ocean and the food selection was to die for.

What an amazing experience! My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Daniel Thelen as our coordinator. He was extremely attentive, responsive professional and a dream to work with. Daniel went above and beyond time and time again. Daniel helped us navigate through timelines, decorations, tastings and more. He accommodated our questions, our families questions and all of our concerns. I could not have dreamed of a better experience. My wedding day, the reception, our stay, our guest hotel reservations and the overall vibe was a product of the hard work Daniel put into making it all a reality. The venue was clean, accommodating and beautiful. The Westin and Daniel will forever be my first and only choice for venues in the future.

Having our wedding at the Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort was the best decision we could have made! The whole event went perfectly, the location was beyond beautiful and everyone in their staff was wonderful and accommodating to all of our needs. Marylin, the director of catering was so helpful with every step of planning, and on the day of too! The food and drinks were exceptional and the guests clearly enjoyed it all. My favorite part was that at the reception my husband and I had our own server, constantly making sure that we had food and drinks while we enjoyed our night. We stayed in the Governer's suit, and it truly had a breathtaking view. The price was very competitive too, compared to other beach hotels in the area. It was truly the perfect day, as it should be, thanks to them!

Marilyn was like family. She went so far beyond the call of duty . She made sure the reception was one to remember from beginning to end. If any problems arose she handled it quickly. Sheis truly amazing and it is because of her and her staff that I had the best reception ever.

I live out of state and planned my whole wedding via internet and phone calls, the Westin was incredible. They made it extremely easy for me. It was a wonderful wedding, all the guests said it was the best wedding they've attended. Thanks Marilynn.

Our wedding planning experience with the coordinating staff at The Westin has been amazing. They have been so accommodating to all of our wants and needs and have made things less and less stressful every step of the way. Being from out of state and planning a wedding was very stressful but everyone was so helpful and patient with me and contacted me back in a timely manner. When things were not to our liking or we wanted to change things around they helped in figuring out the best way to make changes for us. They really showed that they cared about not only us but our day as well! So happy that we chose The Westin to showcase the first day of the rest of our lives.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
