Excellent Choice for Room Block and Events!!! Christine & Ryan Wedding Weekend

The Westin New Orleans handled our room block and they went above and beyond with everything during the wedding process. Justice and Max were excellent with all of the details and helping orchestrate the details regarding the room block for our wedding and they were excellent with communicating with me regularly. I highly recommend The Westin New Orleans for any room blocks or events. We had an amazing Welcome cocktails hour at Observatory Eleven.
Thank you for everything!

Emily Hayman at the Westin made sure that everything ran smoothly which it did. She added special touches like bringing wine and cheese to my suite the night before the wedding and made sure to have two glasses of champagne waiting for my husband and I when we arrived for the reception from the church. She was amazing. (And the food was spectacular).

NOLA-FLORA NOLA-FLORA Wedding Florists

We always love getting to Floralize for a wedding at The Westin New Orleans Canal Place. It is a beautiful venue with wonderful views, as well. The staff there is always friendly, nice and very easy with which to work. Marguerite is fantastic, always accommodating and super friendly, available and organized. All of which is very important to us and should be of utmost importance to any bride planning a Fabulous New Orleans Wedding. We cannot say enough great things about Marguerite and The Westin...
