Danielle and Daniel Wedding

We celebrated our wedding at The Westin Tampa Bay, and it was everything we dreamed of and more. From the stunning bayfront views to the exceptional service, this venue made our special day absolutely unforgettable.

From the start, the staff (especially Tiffany) was attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. Every detail from the ceremony setup to the reception was handled with care and precision. The team was responsive, kind, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly so we could truly enjoy our day without stress.

The location is breathtaking having the ceremony with the water as our backdrop was magical, and the indoor space was just as elegant. Our guests raved about the food, the view, and the overall experience. We couldn’t have imagined a better place to begin our next chapter together.

Thank you to everyone at The Westin Tampa Bay for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Danielle & Daniel

A Beautiful Day filled with Memories!

When planning our wedding, we knew exactly what we wanted. Our expectations were high but were met with Tiffany. Her professionalism, courtesy of our schedules along with our budget. Her advice or suggestions gave us comfort. Her passion from what she does at The Weston shines through. Going through such a wonderful experience with Tiffany, we are now having another big event. Of course we wouldn't want anyone else to guide us through but Tiffany, once again.

A perfect wedding!

My husband and I had our approximately 150 person wedding at the Westin. Our original venue was damaged by the storm and this was a rapid venue change for us, and it turned out more beautiful than we could have imagined! We primarily worked with Tiffany who was a rockstar. She was extremely prompt and organized through the process and for our big day. We also worked with Pamela who kept our room block organized and accessible. The scenery of the hotel was stunning and we had a beautiful ceremony on the water. The reception room was beautiful and held our crowd easily. The food was DELICIOUS. The rooms were brand new and so clean, modern, and each with a gorgeous waterfront view. During our wedding weekend the Westin team was incredible. Brooklyn and Mackenzie were especially helpful and friendly at the front desk. It was truly the best day for us and our guests also expressed how much they loved the hotel and our beautiful they thought our wedding was. We are so grateful we were able to have our wedding at the Westin and would highly recommend this as a wedding venue and hotel to stay at!

Wedding was a success!

We had a 90-person wedding at this venue in the Carribbean Ballroom, which was wonderful. Everyone enjoyed the food, which was served in generous portions. The 1 bedroom suite where we stayed was newly renovated and beautiful. We worked with TIffany who couldn't have been more accommodating and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend booking your event at this location.

Very Responsive & Accommodating

We had to change from our original beach venue wedding due to two hurricanes and only had 3 weeks to basically plan another wedding. Tiffany was very responsive and helpful and our wedding turned out beautiful.

Excellent Service!

We were moved to this venue after the hurricane in FL, and the team at The Westin Tampa Bay did a phenomenal job of giving us the wedding of our dreams on short notice. Everyone we worked with was fantastic, LGBTQ-friendly, and extremely competent at their jobs. Highly Recommend!
