Wow! There is no other words that describe how phenomenal the service is at The Westin. I had my wedding there in May, and I couldn't have asked for a better place for my wedding. Katherine and her team were amazing- they responded back to all my inquires within 24 hours, and always kept my best interest in mind. I can't tell you how many times I woke up in the middle of the night to quickly type an email to Katherine asking a question about the wedding, and for her to respond back the next morning answering everything. We had our ceremony and reception at the Westin and my guest raved about how elegant and sophisticated everything looked. Don't even get me started about the food- it was devoured! The food and entertained was the highlight of the wedding with our own pasta bar and food stations. Everything was done without a hitch and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I highly recommend the Westin and their staff for all your special events; especially your wedding day! Thank you again to our Westin Family for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

I can only say good things about Callee Miller and the rest of the Westin Richmond staff. We never hired a wedding planner — Callee took care of everything.

Pros:
- All-in-one package includes tons of details: food, lighting, vases, chargers, folded napkins, silver stands for table numbers, linens…
- Two nights in a beautiful wedding suite. We bought a third night at a reduced rate
- Large event space
- Efficient staff, including bartenders, catering staff, and cake cutting
- Quick response time. Callee is ENDLESSLY patient.
- The courtyard has fire pits. Awesome!
- They let us add local Richmond breweries to our bar.
- They refrigerated all the flowers our florist dropped off early.

True Highlights:
1. The groom is Filipino so we wanted to include traditional foods. Callee arranged multiple tastings for us as the kitchen tried different recipes to create the food we wanted.
2. I was sick the week of the wedding, and I missed some of the reception because I was ill. Everyone was really helpful, outlining alternate timelines, boxing up some reception food since I couldn’t eat it, even sending chicken soup to our hotel room for me! This messed up our reception timeline, and all our vendors kept everything running smoothly. (Eventually I made it to the reception and had a lovely time!)
3. We stayed two nights at the Westin afterward, and there was only one staff member we interacted with who DIDN’T know us as “the newlyweds” and go out of her way to congratulate us.

Cons:
- Maybe not the best option for smaller weddings. But maybe there’s a smaller room.
- No exterior windows in the ballroom, though we could use the courtyard (our event was during the day).

I’d definitely recommend the Westin! The space is beautiful, especially the courtyard, and the food is good… but it’s their customer service that truly sets them apart. The entire staff is phenomenal.

I literally planned my wedding in 6 months and it wouldn't have went as great if it wasnt for the help of Katherine and Tisha. Theyyy are greattttttttttt and such a pleasure to work with. During the 6 months the amount of people attending my wedding went up by 100 ppl and they were still able to work with me. The Westin Richmond staff are amazing and provide GREAT customer services. I can't say one thing I loved most about the venue because everything was GREAT. I'm so happy that I choose the Westin for my venue...and if I had to do it again I wouldn't change a thing... the food was amazing. My guest wont stop talking about how amazing it was...thanks Westin Richmond for making my day a one to remember for all
