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.

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
