A beautiful backdrop for a wedding!

Having our reception at the Westin was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. Kelly was a DREAM to work with and someone we now consider a friend. Her team is incredibly dedicated and organized. The catering team provided us with an amazing tasting and AMAZING service that our guests are still talking about. Kelly worked seamlessly with our day of coordinator to ensure her service team and our vendors were working in perfect lockstep. The ballroom is large and provided the perfect space for our large live band and 200 guests, with more than enough space for cookie table / photobooth, etc. We also leveraged the connecting parlor suite for myself, my moms and our bridesmaids to get ready for morning of and it was the perfect space for all of our needs. NOT to mention that gorgeous greenery wall in the lobby for photos. :) Kelly helped us to coordinate breakfast & lunch drop-offs with the Westin and the entire day was so smooth. We will missing working with her and the entire Westin team!!

Highly recommended for non-traditional and tradition receptions

I cannot say enough amazing things about The Westin in Pittsburgh. I planned my wedding from out of town and was unable to see the venue or try any of the food. We had a small intimate wedding and we weren’t going to need the traditional amount of resources and the staff was happy to help us. They accommodated all of our requests no matter how small. The event staff was very quick to respond and I never felt like I was sending too many emails. When the day finally arrived, they greeted us in the lobby and assisted in unloading. We were upgraded to a suite and they sent us little gifts throughout our stay to celebrate our event. They made the entire thing so stress free. The staff did an amazing job setting up the decorations and helped what we pictured in our heads come to life. The food was delicious, the room was spacious and beautiful, and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Checking out was a breeze as they broke down the room and had everything waiting for us at concierge. As a bride you always hear stories of a day filled with stress or something going wrong, but The Westin took care of every detail, allowing me to enjoy my day without worry or stress. Thank you to all the staff at the Westin, specifically Becky and Lindsey for everything they did to help make my day perfect.

Amazing experience!

The Westin ballroom was absolutely beautiful for our wedding. Everything was set up as according to plan and it ran VERY smooth. However, what/who my wife and I were extremely pleased with was the event coordinator, Lindsey. She was absolutely wonderful. Her professionalism and work ethic is on another level. Her communication throughout the entire process was impeccable. She made our wedding planning process about as least stressful as it could be. The day of our wedding, she was even better! I didn’t know that was possible. Anything my wife and I needed, (even things we didn’t even know we needed!) she provided and provided it promptly. I cannot praise the venue and Lindsey enough. If the Westin is in the running for a wedding or any event you might have, you will be very pleased with the service.

Friendly, Helpful, and Flexible!

The Westin team of Becky and Lindsey were the most amazing people to work with for our June wedding. They were responsive to emails, documented and remembered all discussions and decisions, were flexible with special requests and went above and beyond to make the day perfect. On the day-off, every detail was perfection and exactly as we discussed or better. Wedding planning is stressful but my husband and I were so happy with our decision to go with the Westin for our all-day event!

Exceed Expectations

I worked with Lindsey and Becky (L&B) at the Westin throughout my long engagement and I cannot stress how wonderful everything was. I sent constant emails and had communication with both L&B throughout the wedding planning process. They answered all of my questions in such a timely fashion, I couldn't help but feel so relieved they were in charge of my husband and I's special day. The week of, Lindsey would talk/text and make herself extremely available to ensure if I needed anything, she could help. She made it seem like I was her only client (when I know I wasn't!). The little details L&B meant the world to met. They ensured the signs were appropriately placed, I had snacks in my room the night before along with champagne when my husband and I got back to the room the night of our wedding. Everyone at the Westin was so accommodating, I wish I could relive the day, but only because of the hard work Lindsey and Becky put in made the day so perfect.

Best venue in pittsburgh

The Westin was absolutely the best choice we made when it came to our special day! The modern and elegant vibe of the establishment matched our NYE theme perfectly! Becky and her team were professional, supportive, and accommodating to all of our needs throughout the planning process and the evening of the event. Becky always had the answers to every single one of our questions within 24 hours. It really helped us plan everything we wanted timely so that we could move onto the next item. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!! Every single guest commented on how the food was the best wedding food they have ever experienced. With 200+ guests, we were very impressed with the quality and presentation! I would recommend the Westin to any couple planning a wedding or an event :)

Excellent service and execution!

Everything from the Westin was exactly as we would have expected. Our point of contact, Ava, joined the team after we'd already booked our wedding, but she picked up right away and took care of every detail. She was always available and responsive and made us feel like everything was handled well. On the night of, the kitchen staff executed everything perfectly, we had tons of compliments on our food, they even nailed almost 100 filets! We also booked a block of rooms with the hotel, which was super convenient, and Aubrey, my POC for the rooms, was also super accommodating and helpful. She went out of her way to make sure we got rooms, even after our block was "over", on a home Steelers weekend, no less! Overall, we had a great experience with the Westin, it was convenient, easy, and everything turned out beautifully!

Megan was wonderful to work with, she is very organized and made us feel extremely comfortable leading up to our big day. The process was stress free! Megan & team were clearly committed to making sure our weekend was nothing but perfect, and went out of their way to make every second of it special. We could not have picked a better venue & team to work with. The service was top notch and the food was amazing. Our guests still talk about our wedding - from the look of the ballroom, to how wonderful the food was, and of course the amount of detail that was put into all of it. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing. Thank you for making our day so special!
