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.

You really can't get a better wedding venue! The Westlake Village Inn is beautiful year round. With this venue you have the gorgeous grounds of a Mediterranean villa, delicious food (many guests reported this), and many options of a ceremony site and reception venue. We had our ceremony at the Mediterranean Gazebo which had tall roman columns, a view of the lake and fountain, and lots of trees and colorful flowers -- so much natural ambiance that we didn't need many flowers from the florist for the ceremony. We used the elegant Provence Room with chandeliers, a two tier room (good for dancing), and a view again to the lake. We also used the wine cellar room for our Rehearsal Dinner. Our guests loved being together at the hotel and there are places for them to eat and find one another throughout the weekend. The cost is reasonable for all that you receive and there are a few ways to help make the budget manageable -- you don't need to opt for special chairs or plates, you can do a buffet style dinner, and opt for "by consumption" wine/beer rather than unlimited or hard liquor or many of the "extras" here. The place speaks for itself and in this peaceful environment the guests will really enjoy themselves!

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!

West Lake Village Inn is a very popular wedding location and Life.Film have been lucky enough to capture several wedding events there on the summer 2016.

From our professional point of view the venue is ideal for entire wedding day.

Beautiful rooms or villas for the getting ready shoots, many stairs, trails, arches and rose gardens for the romantic pictures, beautiful rotunda for the ceremony and amazing reception hall for the dinner.

For photographer and videographer this place is such a well organized venue which gives us opportunity to be creative and to bring the best photos to the bride and the groom. Don’t forget that also this is a beautiful spot to get some aerial shoots too.

Special thank you words to the event manager team who are always super fast with the responding and who where very helpful on the day of the events!

Life.Film will be more then happy to film more weddings events there!

If you have a chance to visit Westlake Village Inn, make an appointment ASAP. The staff is amazing and the venue is beautiful with impeccable water views. We really like the ceremony site as well you can't beat the arched ivy entrance coming down the isle. :-)
