Excellent!

We recently had our wedding at the Westin on February 20th in the junior ballroom. Laura Lavigne was our wedding coordinator, she is so sweet, professional, and accommodating planner I had the pleasure of working with. She helped make our wedding vision come to life along with making sure everything went smoothly. All of the staff at the hotel, along with the food, and accommodations made our day so perfect, EVEN during a pandemic!
If you are looking for a beautiful venue with friendly staff, amazing food, bar services, and reasonably priced, in gorgeous downtown Portland Maine, THIS is the place for you! You will not be disappointed!
Looking back, I would choose this venue over and over!

Beautiful venue, amazing staff ensure perfection!

The Westin is a beautiful venue. We chose the Winslow Homer Jr. Ballroom for our ceremony and the Grand Ballroom for our reception. From the first email and meeting, Laura was absolutely amazing! The planning was as stress free as possible, with every question and concern addressed very quickly. The staff was great, with great attention to detail. We were presented various packages and felt that all delivered great value with the flexibility to pick everything you want for the day. The food was amazing and we received countless compliments on it and the venue itself. Not only were we impressed, but our guests were extremely impressed as well!

Dream Weekend

The Westin gave my husband and I our dream wedding. The entire staff from check in to check out went above and beyond, always with a smile on their faces. Our wedding of over 200 was easily accommodated in the grand ballroom and the food was as good when served for 200 as it was when served for 4 at our tasting! Laura, who coordinated our event was able to anticipate everything we needed and was always available to answer questions or help. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking in the Portland area!

We had the most amazing experience working with Laura at the Westin to plan and execute our wedding, and we did it all in less than 90 days! Laura is so incredibly warm, welcoming, and professional and she takes all the stress out of planning a wedding. Super flexible, responsive, organized, accommodating - I really can't rave enough about our experience. The venue itself is stunning and the staff is incredible. I would highly recommend this venue for any event!!

My husband and I could not say enough about how happy we were having our wedding at the Westin Portland Harborview. We had many out of town guests that fell in love with Portland and commented on how wonderful the Westin staff was throughout the entire weekend. Paige was a rockstar! She was always available and accommodating throughout the entire planning process! We are now looking forward to our honeymoon at the Westin in Hawaii using the bonus Starwood points that is such an amazing perk! 5 stars!!!

Jesse and I were amazed with the staff at the Westin on our wedding day; it couldn't have been more perfect. From the guys in valet to the servers at the reception, the service was professional, efficient, and precise. Each and every employee was friendly and ready to help with every and all of our needs the entire weekend we stayed. We started off wedding planning with our initial coordinator, Anna who soon went on maternity leave and we learned Paige would take over. The transition was seamless and we are so happy with Paige's assistance throughout the process. Any kind of change when your in the midst of wedding planning is scary, but Paige exceeded all of our expectations. If we did it all again we wouldn't change anything. There were many little things the Westin and Paige surprised us with that made us feel special and we are eternally grateful. We plan on returning to the Westin in the future just for fun!

Picking the Westin Portland Harborview was an easy choice for us. Portland, Maine is such a great city and the hotel is gorgeous. The hotel is dog friendly for our guests who wanted to bring their pets too. But the Westin's event coordinator, Anna, was also an important factor in our decision to pick the Westin. She was always available, always helpful and took care of everything! She made the whole process run smoothly from the day we booked the venue.

Choosing to have our wedding at the Westin was the absolute best decision we made. Anna was an angel who helped us every step of the way from the very start to the very end. The quality and responsiveness of the service was incredible and the entire wedding planning process and execution with the Westin was seamless, smooth, and so easy! The food was amazing, the presentation was perfection, and the whole experience was a dream. All of our guests kept telling us how beautiful, amazing, elegant and classy the wedding was and I attribute a lot of that to Anna and the staff. From the set up of the room to the tables, everything was perfection! I highly recommend the Westin to ANY couple looking to get married in Portland. It was the perfect blend of elegance and the Portland city life. I cannot say enough about Anna and the Westin. We loved it!

Anna Paschal is an amazing wedding coordinator! Because of her, our wedding reception was absolutely perfect! We were a challenge since we are located out of state and Anna took the stress out of planning the reception. Anna was extremely positive, detail oriented, and responsive. She had the best recommendations for any questions we had. If you are looking for a perfect wedding experience, look no further than Anna Paschal at the Westin Portland Harborview! It was the absolute best decision we could have made.

My husband and I can't say enough about the Westin and Anna, the wedding coordinator. First off Anna is amazing. She was very attentive to our needs and wants, she always made us feel like we were the only couple she was working for the months we worked with her. Her attention to detail was spot on and the day of our wedding my husband and I were relaxed and knew everything was taken care of. She was right there when we needed her and even via email conversation she was so fast to get back to us. That made us very happy that was she was so focused on making the wedding exactly want we wanted.
The Westin as a venue was the best choice we made. Everyone was very professional and helpful. The hotel is beautiful and a great setting for a wedding. The most important thing for my husband and I was food, we wanted guests to have a delicious meal and the Westin killed it. Their food and service was excellent. I could go on forever about Anna and the Westin! Our wedding was just incredible and we owe a lot of that to Anna and the Westin!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I've photographed a Gala here. Not only is the staff wonderful, but the venue is excellent for photography! The ballroom is stunning, especially when lit well, and the main lobby provides some really cool places for portraits.
