Gorgeous Venue!

We had our reception at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa on May 6, 2023. Our experience was smooth sailing from start to finish! Christie Cline, the Senior Catering Sales Executive, was incredibly patient with my husband and I while we went back and forth on dates, menu selections, specific customizations, and changes in ballrooms. She was always prompt to respond and never made us feel like we were a burden when she was answering our many questions. Staci Stephenson, the Senior Event Manager, was an incredible help in the months leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day itself. She made sure to check on us personally on the wedding day, and was always cheerful and in good spirits when answering our questions. The rest of the staff were just as amazing and helpful, and I always felt like we were in good hands.

On top of the amazing service, the venue itself is gorgeous. Our guests were raving about our cocktail hour space (which overlooked the lake and golf course), and they couldn't say enough nice things about the ballroom itself, as well as the food and drinks (which was provided by the Westin). I loved every bit of our big day, and I couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our wedding!

The Westin team helped our wedding dreams come true

We got engaged in October 2021. Finding a venue for a wedding set for October 2022 with 50 people on the invitation list was difficult due to "Covid Catch-up". However, The Westin responded saying they had their Brittlebush Bar & Grill available so we planned Every interaction we had with our team there (Christy and Tom specifically) was excellent. They answered all our questions timely. The Thursday before our Saturday wedding, we saw that the forecast for Saturday was going to be rain all day. I called Tom and asked if he had a backup plan. Yes, for no additional cost our wedding was moved to their ballroom. We said our vows to each other in front of a beautiful lightning show. Everything turned out beautifully, thanks to Tom's awesome team pivoting at the last minute.

Absolutely amazing

Our day was AMAZING at the Westin Kierland. From the start of our ceremony to the last person off the dance floor at our reception. The team from start to finish was amazing and on top of every little detail.

Westin Wedding

I would highly recommend Westin for your wedding venue. We picked the trailblazer ballroom which was incredible. The mountain views along with the golf courses made great pictures . All of the guest enjoyed the appetizers as well as the dinner. The staff was amazing and made wedding planning so simple. Ashley and Pietrina went above and beyond and always replied in very fast timely manner. They were so helpful with everything. The hotel also provided a room block for my guests along with a incredible suite on the night of our wedding. If you are looking for a elegant place for your wedding, Westin is the spot.

Every one from Westin Kierland from room booking with Michael to wedding and reception arrangements with Sally to awesome menu from Chef !!! Our wedding prep and wedding day couldn’t have been smoother or more perfect. (except for the unexplained red smudge smack dab right thigh of my wedding dress...!!!). Thank goodness for White Out...!!!

My dream wedding would not have happened without Westin Kierland. They were absolutely amazing. We worked with Lauren and Nadine and they were so responsive and able to ease all my worries. There are multiple choices for where you can hold the wedding on the property and every choice is beautiful. The food was amazing, our guests raved about it all night, and their wedding package includes a cake which saved us a lot of money. They have a huge list of vendors for a bride to use and we booked almost of ours through that list and we were so pleased with how everything turned out. We got a great room discount because we did a room block so our guests were able to enjoy a multiple night stay because of the amazing deal they gave us. We truly would not change a single thing about our wedding.

Lisa the wedding planner for the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa was extremely helpful in answering our MANY questions and helping us plan our simple wedding ceremony over the phone from thousands of miles away! The day of our ceremony we were taken such good care of by the entire staff and everything was setup as we had discussed over the phone prior to ever stepping foot on the property! The view from the actual ceremony spot was perfect and intimate just what we wanted. The views all over the entire property were stunning, a photographer and videographers dream! I can't imagine having gotten married anywhere else!

We couldn't have chosen a better venue for our wedding. This was a destination wedding for us and all of our guests, so everyone stayed at the Westin and spent the weekend there. A lot of our guests are saying it is the best wedding they have ever been to, and a lot of that is due to the venue, and the fun that we all had the entire weekend at the pool and on the flow rider! Lisa in catering were so nice and great to work with. She made sure that everything was just perfect. The food was delicious, the reception site was beautiful, and we even had fireworks at our reception provided by the Westin because of the flow rider grand opening! The entire hotel staff treated us like we were royalty! I couldn't have asked for anything more. I would highly recommend the Westin Kierland for your wedding or special event. They did a great job!!

The Westin Kierland was the most amazing experience! Sally Hilow-Mackesy was incredible. Our wedding came out gorgeous. Our guests are still raving about the delicious, incredible lunch and our wedding cake! They upgraded us to a Casita. Sally helped me create a dream wedding within my budget and had so many ideas to help make it work! We had 20 guests stay at the hotel (family and friends from out of town). Everyone raved about the resort and most were able to get rooms for a discounted rate! We have friends and family that told us it felt like a far away destination wedding with tropical feel. They want to make the Westin Kierland a new summer tradition. I could go on and on and on about how happy I am with the service provided, our stay, our wedding experience and Sally Hilow. A PERFECT experience!
