Westlake Village Inn offers a number of indoor and outdoor event spaces for weddings. The Tuscan Garden is a charming spot where you and your partner can say “I do” in the warm California breeze. Featuring a stone fountain, floral arbors, and an earthen pathway, it offers a romantic, pastoral setting.

Great venue in westlake village

This review concerns the Westlake Village Inn used as a Wedding Venue.
We (BELLA VITA EVENTS - EVENT COORDINATORS) got the chance to work here for a few Weddings. This Venue -and its whole block- is full of elegance and European charm. Nestled amidst manicured gardens, a great pond/lake, and scenic landscapes, the setting provides a romantic backdrop for a perfect celebration. The attentive and professional staff at the Venue goes above and beyond to ensure every detail is flawlessly executed, making the whole process enjoyable. From the idyllic ceremony locations to the exquisite reception spaces, the venue offers a versatile canvas for couples to create their dream wedding. The Westlake Village Inn stands out as a quintessential choice for those seeking a sophisticated and enchanting setting to say "I do." We highly recommend! - BELLA VITA EVENTS BY DEBORAH JAMES.

An embarrassing, stressful, awful experience

What should have been a joyful, relaxing, and lovely after-wedding brunch turned into an embarrassing, stressful, awful experience. That bad experience was made worse because Westlake Village Inn did not care. We had reserved a private buffet brunch for up to 80 people, for the day after my wedding. We created a menu with Kaylyn in the catering department, discussing how much food and coffee we should order for up to 80 people, selected tables, linens and dishes and paid in full ten days before the brunch (as required). The brunch was to be buffet style from 10:30AM - 1:30PM on the Vintage Patio. We were assured that the food would continually be replenished as needed since guests would be coming at different times.



When my mom arrived early on the morning of the brunch, the servers immediately took her aside and told her that the food currently displayed was all the food we would receive - they said we could not get more food because it was a holiday weekend (Memorial Day weekend) and the other restaurants at the hotel were closed. They were firm in the fact that they absolutely could not make more food because there was no food to make. My mom was immediately shocked and horrified as the amount of food set out was clearly insufficient for 80 people, not appropriate for the "come when you want" brunch, not what we carefully planned and not what she paid for. The servers said they wanted us to know, there would not be enough food and that was it.



The first guests arrived at 10:30. Approximately 15 people served themselves, got beverages and sat down to eat. One guest went up for a second cup of coffee and was rudely told there was no more coffee. The bacon, sausage, and potato trays were empty, and the juice and coffee station was nearly empty. Guests were arriving and were hungry. There were no drinks, no hot food, and only a few dry bagels on a plate, a bowl of yogurt, and a half-eaten tray of fruit. Guests were telling my mom that there was no coffee, no juice, not enough food. We were mortified.



My aunt and uncle (who should have been relaxing, enjoying family and the brunch) ran to their car, drove up the street and got deli platters and sandwiches from a local grocery store so my mom would not have to suffer the humiliation of 60 wedding guests arriving at a brunch where there was no food. When they returned, they began to put the food out as guests were all asking where the food was. There was still no coffee or juice! Unknown to us, the staff and manager were watching this all unfold on their security cameras and the manager angrily came out to tell us we could not have our own food there. My mom once again told them she paid for food for 80 people. They only provided food for 20 and did not replenish as promised. Miraculously, when they saw us bring food in, they managed to find more bacon, sausage and potatoes "in the back" and charged my mom an additional $200. By then, the damage was done. Hungry guests had left to find breakfast, or were eating the deli platters and sandwiches my family had to bolt out to get.

Meanwhile, the very nice serving staff told us this happens "all the time" and that we should complain. Following the brunch from hell, my mom and I contacted Kaylyn in the catering department to tell her what happened. We met with her in person, to convey how shocked and upset we were, especially after working with her to plan properly. She seemed surprised but simply apologized and told us they would make changes so this doesn't happen again. Westlake Village Inn didn't even offer to refund the additional $200 we had to pay for food we had already paid for! My wedding brunch was ruined, my mom was humiliated, we spent hundreds more than budgeted for deli platters and paying twice for the catering we already had paid for, guests were hungry (and are STILL talking about the buffet that wasn't), and Westlake Village Inn did nothing to even try to make it right.


There are moments in life so important that there are no do-overs. A wedding weekend is one of those events. As local residents, the Westlake Village Inn seemed like the perfect place to end a magical wedding weekend. The Westlake Village Inn is beautiful, no doubt about that. But the beauty of the location does not make up for the awful experience. We felt scammed, and it was clear from the servers that this scam was common. We will never book another event at the Westlake Village Inn.
