Highly recommend!

Lets just start with Patty and her team are responsible for making this the best day of my life! From the first meeting to the day of the wedding they were on top of every little detail. Cannot say enough how much i recommend the Westshore Grand. My family recommends it so much that we've had 2 weddings here in less than 3 years. (Mine and my sisters) We love that it is so convenient to get to and from the airport with the free shuttle service because we had over 100 out of town guests. Which they greatly accommodated in the hotel. Everyone raved about the food and service all night and even after. We were extremely please with the food quality & portion sizes. The staff is very professional yet very personable. They take the time to get to know you so they can best take care of your needs. We truly felt special! Even the vendors we worked with had great things to say! Highly recommend the Westshore Grand and we will definitely be working with Patty and her team again. Thank you for making my wedding day a dream come true!!!

Our July 2023 Wedding at the Westshore Grand

We held our wedding at the Westshore Grand in late July 2023 and hosted approximately 150 family and friends.

Matthew Moody (Catering Sales Manager) was an absolute pleasure to work with and paid great attention to detail while being highly accessible and responsive from the booking process to the wedding ceremony and reception.

We chose the Westshore Grand because it had space for the wedding ceremony, a cocktail hour that followed prior to our wedding reception in a spacious ballroom that we were able to decorate. The hotel even had awesome patios and inside areas for great photo sessions.

Matthew and the staff were responsive and always accommodating to our needs to include arranging 'get ready' rooms and provided menus for us to order additional food and beverages. Steven Albright helped to keep the guest rooming list of our family and friends organized. He even emailed us weekly updates in an Excel format, which was greatly appreciated. The front desk staff was amazing and assisted with ensuring that the wedding party received their welcome gifts we put together upon check-in.

The Westshore Grand's accommodations are great, as the on-site self parking garage was a plus and free to everyone. There is also a valet service option available.

The Westshore Grand had very nice rooms, a rooftop pool, a restaurant and separate bar, awesome food, etc. that allowed us, our family and friends to have a wonderful, memorable experience.

I don't have any recommendations other than for Matthew, Steven and the hotel staff to do for other guests that they did for us, which was provide excellent service with a caring, personal touch.

Two Words, Patty and Amazing

Thank You to Patty and her team at The Westshore Grand hotel for making my wedding amazing. My guest loved the natural lighting and positive energy received. Everyone said that this was the most organized wedding they had been to and I can't thank Patty enough. Our numbers were cut due to COVID, but I was still able to get my dream wedding and more! Ms. Patty Fernandez is so calm and caring, as I started to get that anxiousness closer to my big day she was a wave of peace and I can't thank her enough. The hotel is beautiful and is located conveniently close to the airport for out-of-town guests to come and a variety of restaurants for everyday dining and rehearsal dinner events. There are so many accommodations this venue offers; including the free shuttle, free parking in the garage, and amazing front desk and bar staff. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Patty and her team, this venue, and the location without any hesitation.

Recently we videotaped a Wedding at this venue. What a nice place to have a wedding. The decor, the service and the personal attention the Bride and Groom, their guests and us, the vendor got, was excellent. Hope to be back there soon! Felten Video
