About

The Westin San Diego is a hotel wedding venue located in San Diego, California. Because this venue is situated right in the downtown city area, it places couples and guests right by many local attractions. If you are interested in relaxing before or after the wedding, the beaches are nearby, and if you love history, there is the Balboa Park and Museums in close proximity as well. Whatever your interests may be, you will be able to enjoy not only a stunning hotel on your big day, but also all of the shopping, entertainment, and historical centers in the city.

AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! Stephanie was absolutely AMAZING!! She made our wedding much more special and was an exceptional person to work with. Everything from the process of first booking the Westin to our wedding day was such a breeze. Stephanie gets back to emails and phone calls rather quickly and she made sure that all of our concerns and questions were answered in a timely manner. Her service was above and beyond and Jason and I would recommend her and The Westin San Diego to ALL of our friends and family. Stephanie is the BEST!

After visiting several wedding venues in the San Diego area, my husband and I chose the Westin to hold our special day. We worked with Stephanie Wooding who was extremely professional, attentive, and very flexible. She listened to my vision and helped make our wedding day very special. The price per person was an excellent deal and to this day everyone still talks about how beautiful the wedding was. In fact, several of my relatives who are engaged are having their weddings at the Westin also. You won't be disappointed.

The complimentary cocktail drinks did not taste the same as when we had our tasting!!
They diluted the cocktail with juice. It was meant to taste like sparkling cognac.

During dinner the servers were told to inform my husband and I after every 10 bottles of wine are opened so that we can keep track of the corkage, instead after the first 10 bottles they just stopped pouring and told our guests that we were out of wine!

Also, some guests were rudely told by their server not to touch the plates after they were done with dinner so that the server can pick it up and not have the guest help lift the plates. They were just trying to help!

I give this place 0 stars. Please do not stay here or do anything here.I had picked this place for my wedding because of its gorgeous architecture, but unfortunately, I was only given empty promises. I had no idea who was my main point of contact. I was juggled around by multiple people. I was verbally promised that the pool area would be closed, however, I now have pictures of a large man in his swim trunks in my ceremony. The hotel response was, "can't you just photoshop that out?" Why should I pay additionally for their error? The hotel gave my family an attitude and insulted them. We were promised a cake cutting knife, but I was only given a butter knife, which destroyed my wedding cake. It is okay if there are certain things that the hotel cannot help with, but if that is the case do not make promises that you cannot keep. If you have told me that you can do so and so, I expect you to be able to do it competently. I was over-charged a plate of food. I was told one of my rooms would be comped, yet I still had to pay for it. I was told that my bill was completely paid off, even though I knew it wasn't, yet they assured me both verbally/with an excel file that it was. They charged my card so often while I was on honeymoon that they actually froze my account because they thought it was fraudulent activity.I went all the way to upper management, and they were very cold and uncaring. They didn't care about their customers at all and were unclear/disorganized at every step. They were at fault in so many ways, yet they didn't even try to make any amends. Please do not stay here. I have stayed at so many hotels in San Diego, but this by far has been the worst one. Please save yourself the time and money and don't stay here. Their food that they gave me during the food tasting was like scraps, not even fresh. I am mortified by this hotel. Please do yourselves a favor and don't stay here. You will be so much happier!
