Amazing! Perfect!

I am so glad we found the Westside Inn to hold our wedding! From start to finish the process of having our wedding at the inn was seamless, stress free and easy! Susan, the owner, was very responsive and helpful! Her employee Brandi was always there if we needed her. Kees Rentals was super easy to rent from and very responsive to all questions I had. There was so much space in the house, some of our friends who came to town for the wedding were able to stay in the 5 available bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms and beautiful grounds! If you are looking for a BEAUTIFUL and convenient wedding venue the Westside Inn in Manteo, is it!

Westside Inn is absolutely stunning, and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting, especially during sunset. It truly took our breath away and made the perfect backdrop for our special day. Every photo we received from our photographer, Matt Lusk, or from friends and family turned out gorgeous.
Working with Susan made the entire experience even better. She was incredibly responsive, kind, and so helpful every step of the way. Anytime I had a question (big or small), she was quick to answer and always made me feel supported throughout the planning process.
The venue came with tables and chairs included, which was such a huge help, and we also rented the bathroom trailer through them.
Everything came together so perfectly, and we’re so grateful to Susan for helping make our wedding day so memorable. Highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a gorgeous space!!

Would get married again here in a heartbeat!

We had our wedding at Westside Inn in October 2025 and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The venue was so homey and welcoming, and the views / weather was absolutely perfect. We love the OBX and could not have done better in our venue choice. To the Westside team - thank you for sharing your home with us!

Sawyer Wedding 5/17/25 at Westside Inn

A week into our engagement I started researching wedding venues close to us and when I found Westside Inn, I immediately fell in love and knew that was where I wanted to tie the knot. The property is purely magical with its sound front view and beautiful flowers and greenery! We rented Westside Inn Thursday through Monday and held our wedding on Saturday in the backyard overlooking the sound, and it was absolutely beautiful. Also, it is dog friendly, allowing us to include our fur babies in our special day which meant a lot to us.

Mrs. Susan (the owner) is such a pleasure to work with, she was very accommodating and flexible, allowing one less thing to stress while wedding planning! She was great with communication, and quick to respond to any questions we had. The day we checked in there were some severe thunderstorms that caused a leak in the roof, but Mrs. Susan was already on top of it and had it fixed by the next day.

I will forever recommend Westside In to anyone looking for a wedding venue around OBX!

Absolutely Perfect

This venue is the most amazing venue! I wanted to get married on the water but not in the beach and this spot just captivated our hearts the moment we first saw it. Susan was so lovely to work with and made us feel so comfortable with our decision! Both the front and back of the property made for some amazing photos and we couldn’t be happier with our decision!

No Place Better

Choosing this venue for our wedding was the best decision we could have made! Everything about it was amazing, and we couldn’t be happier. The stunning waterfront location provided the most breathtaking backdrop, and the venue comfortably accommodated all of our guests. Susan was an absolute pleasure to work with—so professional and attentive—and the pricing was incredibly reasonable for what was offered. Five stars all around, and I wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone planning their special day!

A dream come true!

Absolutely loved getting married at Westside Inn! The venue is gorgeous & we were blessed with the most incredible sunset! It was such a relief to be able to rent the property for the entire weekend so I could relax and feel fully prepared for the big day! There was no stress of having to bring everything to the venue the morning of the wedding or having to clear out the night of. I loved being able to have the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in one location. Truly the most perfect day!
