About this venue

Westlake Village Inn is a wedding venue located in Santa Barbara, California. Since 1968, the hotel has been a luxury destination in the Conejo Valley. The 17-acre property features nine event spaces that to-be-weds can utilize for their special occasions. This venue is ideal for couples looking for a lush retreat with European-inspired details for their big day.

Facilities and Capacity

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. To incorporate the venue’s lush landscape into your ceremony, you can exchange vows beside the waterfall. For a French-countryside-inspired atmosphere, you are invited to tie the knot at the Lakeside Arbor. After your ceremony, you and your loved ones can dine and dance in any of the hotel’s indoor reception areas. The Fairway Reception Room features a built-in bar and offers views of the picturesque golf course. In the Lakeside Reception Room, you can celebrate with up to 140 guests. The elegant space consists of 2,800 square feet and a large private patio with a stone fireplace. For those hosting events with 230 loved ones, the Provence Reception Room is ideal. When dining and dancing here, you can admire panoramic views of the lake, waterfalls, and golf course. The bi-level ballroom features six grand chandeliers, creating an elegant ambience for any occasion. If you’re dreaming of an intimate, fairytale experience, the Tasting Room offers old-world charm and vineyard views. For a Tuscan-inspired setting, the Wine Cellar is adjacent to the lake and includes a private bar with rustic wine barrels. Whichever event space you choose, the venue’s team will be there to support you.

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.

Just Stunning!

WVINN was the best venue I could ask for! They know weddings and do them so well. Dana was our contact and she was so easy to work with and quick to respond. We loved staying in the deluxe suite. The staff was just the best! No complaints

Such a beautiful experience

I can not say enough amazing things about the Westlake Village Inn. I truly think it's LA's best kept secret- an oasis and paradise. It doesn't feel like you are in LA, but Italy. Not only is it gorgeous, but it is superbly well-maintained and has so many wonderful experiences to enjoy onsite. There's really no need for you or your guests to leave once you arrive. It has everything you could possibly need for a perfect wedding weekend: beautiful grounds, a perfect back drop, multiple event spaces, nightlife, and restaurants.

We recently got married there and had the most amazing experience with the Westlake Village Inn team- shout out to Briana! Everyone on their team was so welcoming and accommodating. The planning process was smooth and easy as their team really knows what they're doing. The staff is very clear on the steps that are needed in order to ensure a successful and smooth event. The staff gave us all eyes and ears throughout our entire stay, and made sure that everyone in our party was well taken care of. Our event went off without a hitch or bump in the road. We wouldn't have changed a thing.

Look no further than the Westlake Village Inn for your wedding. I can promise you'll have an amazing wedding experience and will want to visit again and again in all the years to come to relive your beautiful day!

Dana Jordan + Team are INCREDIBLE!

Having been from the area, I always envisioned getting married at the Westlake Village Inn. It has so many amazing scenic areas that are absolutely perfect for pictures and our ceremony site within the Tuscan Garden was just drop dead gorgeous! We started working directly with Dana Jordan on the Events Team right from the start and we couldn't have been happier. She provided amazing recommendations for vendors, ideas on how we could bring our day to life and above all, was super accommodating during these times of Covid when we had to postpone not once, but twice. Our experience with the venue was fantastic and would highly recommend anyone book with them! Our guest experience was equally amazing, as practically everyone we have spoken to after our wedding are absolutely RAVING about the food saying it was hands down the best wedding they had ever been to. My husband is from Long Island where you feel like you're being served your dinner at cocktail hour because the amount of food is ridiculous, so being a number of our guests have that expectation at weddings to be FED, with a few additional add-ons like a sushi station, chilled seafood station, make your own sundae bar and assorted plated desserts, our guests were overwhelmed with the food selection and to hear them rave how fantastic everything was, was music to our ears! You won't regret booking your event; especially a wedding at this venue!

Perfect for initmate wedding

We chose Westlake Village Inn because of the beautiful grounds and the suites that had a patio to hold a small civil ceremony. We selected the suite with the gazebo in the yard. It was a lovely location and perfect for our small wedding (especially with the raccoon family). We were greeted with a bottle of Stonehaus bubbles on ice in our room and enjoyed room service for a gathering later that evening. Perfect venue for lovely wedding photos.
Shout out to Alexis and Laurie who were very helpful in choosing the suite and having an early check in secured. Perfect place for any occasion and I would recommend this venue to everyone.

Amazing Venue!!

We worked with Jessica Reardon at the Westlake Village Inn and she made our wedding absolutely gorgeous! The food was amazing, the staff was polite and Jessica made our dreams come true for our wedding! Searching for venues is a stressful process, but Jessica made it fun and we felt so confident in her abilities from day one. You will not be disappointed with this venue and the Westlake Village Inn staff!

Stunning, elegant wedding venue!

We got married at the Westlake Village Inn in September. It was the perfect venue for our dream wedding! Guests are still raving about the stunning grounds, beautiful garden, and amazing food. Our ceremony was in the Tuscan Garden and our reception was in the Provence Room.

We wanted a venue that was so beautiful it wouldn't need a ton of extra flowers and decor (to save $$). We visited several wedding venues in LA, but the WVInn was by far the most stunning. We were surprised that it was within our budget. The hotel and surrounding grounds resemble a beautiful Tuscan vineyard and villa. There are numerous spots for a first-look and bridal party photos. If you are looking for a venue that is every bit as elegant and sophisticated as it is romantic, I highly recommend checking out the WVInn!

A special thank you to Dana Jordan, our coordinator and catering manager, for making our dream wedding come true! Dana was extremely patient answering our endless list of detail-oriented questions. All of her food suggestions were a major hit. She helped us make the most out of budget.

Westlake Inn

We had to change our wedding venue due to Woolsey Fires. We worked with Jessica Reardon, catering manager at Westlake Inn. She was very professional, helpful, and accommodating. We were able to change our venue in less than 2 weeks time! Everything went smooth, perfect, and it was easy! Food was delicious. Pictures are amazing! Thank you Westlake Inn & Jessica! Love, The Busheys

We booked this place from a recommendation from my sister-in-law, who's work uses their facilities for retreats, meetings, etc. Pictures & reviews were nice. So we contacted the venue and they assigned us to Kelly Burnett. We decided to walk the facilities before our initial meeting with her, and we were basically sold on just what we saw. Then we met with Kelly and she honestly made the entire process so easy. She broke it down to us and we had our $$$ figures from the start. We'd mostly communicate via email since it was just easier for us, and she'd respond usually that same day, unless it was a weekend when she was probably busy assisting with an event. Our wedding was smaller, 40 guests, so we booked the Wine Cellar room, right on the water. We honestly couldn't have been happier. It was so cozy and we still had space for a dance floor. All our guests told us later how they really enjoyed our wedding and the intimacy of it. If you're having a smaller event, I'd highly recommend the Wine Cellar Room. And the staff was amazing too! They were always around to assist us all and very accommodating. Kelly assisted with the set up and also was accommodating to let us in the night before to do some of the detail setting up we wanted to do. Luckily for us there was nothing booked late into that night before or the morning of our wedding. The only thing I'd suggest anyone thinking of having your event here is to plan to get there early enough to take advantage of all the photo opportunities they have throughout the WLVI. We had our ceremony a few hours before, however we cut it really short in allowing for pics before it got dark and our reception started. All in all, everything was amazing...the venue, the food, the staff....especially Kelly!

We didn't have our wedding here but we did stay the night of our wedding here. WLV Inn is the definition of a romance. We were brought complimentary champagne to our room which overlooked the garden. It's a beautiful place to spend the first night as Mr & Mrs!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
