Best Day of My Life
I saw the Westin's Grand Ocean terrace online when researching wedding reception venues in HHI, and I immediately fell in love! It was my dream wedding location and the most beautiful venue I'd seen.
We had our rehearsal dinner and welcome party in the Mitchelville Gazebo room which has an outdoor deck with views of the resort for guests that wanted to get some fresh air. The cocktail hour was on the Oceanfront deck which is surrounded by tall palm trees and a direct view of the ocean, and our reception was in the Grand Ocean Terrace which has huge, floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Ocean that can be opened to allow the ocean breeze inside.
The Westin was so accommodating and very responsive. The staff members were so patient with our many questions and numerous emails back and forth. They were willing to customize anything for us, from the drink menu to the main dishes served.
And not only was the venue PERFECT, but the FOOD was just as amazing! I had so many guests raving about the food--from the appetizers, to the main dish, to the dessert and even to the late night chicken fingers and tots! Everything was perfect! I wish I could do it all over again!-

My Bride to Wifey Night
I stayed the weekend of my wedding in the Atlantic suite at the Westin. I have only positive things to say - the room was so magical getting ready in and not mention the photos looked amazing with the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the ocean. The suite was conveniently located next to all the amenities. The suite had a king bed, full kitchen and living room for all my girls to get ready in. I can’t thank the Westin enough for contributing to the best weekend of my life. Big shout out to Astrid Barth for making sure everything was special and perfect! -

Beautiful Wedding Venue! Highly Recommend
The Westin is the perfect wedding venue on Hilton Head. We loved having cocktail hour on the Oceanfront deck and the reception in the Grand Ocean Terrace - our guests keep talking about how memorable the venue was. We were also very happy with the food - the chefs worked with us on our menu as we wanted to incorporate some Jamaican dishes for our families and it turned out delicious. The team (especially our event planner Marianna) at the Westin was wonderful and responsive and wanted to ensure that we had the most perfect day. We had a great experience at the Westin and highly recommend the venue for your wedding! -

Beautiful farewell brunch!
We had our wedding farewell brunch in the Ocean Terrace room at the Westin and it was beautiful. Marianna from the Westin team was prompt and great to work with as we planned our brunch spread. I was able to customize the menu to exactly what we were looking for! The French toast addition to the buffet was a fan favorite, as was the omelet station.
The guests loved the food and the amazing ocean front views. The staff working the morning of the brunch were kind, patient, and helpful. Overall it was a lovely ending to our perfect wedding weekend.-

A DREAM of a Venue
The Westin has it all - the dreamiest venue you can ask for in the low country.
The Grand Ocean Terrace is absolutely the most beautiful room for a reception and the Oceanfront Deck is the perfect coastal wedding venue without being too beachy (for a bride who didn't want sand in her toes).
Sonja was our coordinator and she did an incredible job of providing top quality service with class. She provided us with the information we needed in a timely manner and helped us stay on top of all the paperwork and decisions she needed as well. We had one minor hiccup at the wedding, and she handled it so beautifully and we are so thankful! She was a joy to work with (along with the entire service staff).
Also, the food. We still have guests telling us it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding (and some, ever!). I am 100% gluten free, and the chef modified the entire menu so I could eat everything at the wedding. HIGHLY recommend!
The ONLY thing I can think of that bothered me, is their chairs provided for the reception space are conference chairs (not the most beautiful), so you have to rent chairs or buy/rent chair covers as we did.
With no hesitations do I recommend the Westin for a coastal wedding venue. It really gave us the wedding of our dreams, and I am so thankful! Would do it over again if I could!-

I wish we could submit 10 stars
It's hard to put into words how perfect this venue was for my daughter's wedding weekend. From the first point of contact, our experience was exceptional. We were looking for an upscale venue that would accommodate a 3 day wedding weekend without leaving the property, and we hit the jackpot. The Westin/Marriott property was the most beautiful one we'd previewed and they had us at Hello. The grounds were flawless and landscaped beautifully.
We were very impressed with the length of time their staff had been employed. It was evident by the service given. Heather and Hanna were very personable, communicative, flexible and true to their word with delivering. They referred excellent vendors to work with which made for the perfect team.
We busted our budget a bit, however it was worth every penny and all guests commented on the excellent wedding food menu.
They offered multiple spaces included shaded seating areas, outdoor ping pong and cornhole, sand volleyball, covered cabanas with tvs and fridge, and a beautiful spa that accommodated our entire wedding party.
Would 100% recommend!

Beautiful place for a wedding
The food and coordinators that the Westin provides are absolutely amazing! We loved our menu options and the coordinator it was extremely helpful at making everything go smoothly! Obviously Hilton head is a stunning place to get married, but having an indoor reception space at the Westin was the best part of our wedding! Their spaces are beautiful and they accommodated all of my family and friends! Loved our experience.-

Coastal Wedding!!
I found the Westin & it had the coastal feel I was looking for on my wedding day! I wanted our ceremony on the Ocean Deck but unfortunately there was a storm coming thru so we had it in the Mitchellville room which kept the theme I was looking for even though we had to move the ceremony inside. We still had the view of the ocean with the coastal.feel. Our reception was in the Grand Ocean Terrace which is sooo beautiful I couldn't ask for anything more!! Even though there was a storm coming thankfully I did a first look & we were able to take all of our pics outside on the deck before the storm. I would recommend The Westin to anyone looking for an amazing day!!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:

Best Wedding Venue on Hilton Head Island!
My husband, parents, and I toured all of the most popular wedding venues on Hilton Head Island and we all agreed that the Westin was the nicest and most beautiful venue out of all of them! The Grand Ocean Terrace is absolutely stunning and is certainly one of the most unique wedding venues our guests have ever been to! Our wedding day was truly perfect and everything from the service to the food was top notch. I can't thank Heather Fishburn and everybody else we encountered at the Westin enough! Heather was so great to work with and we're so grateful for all of the time and effort she put into making this the best weekend of my and my husband's life! Heather's 20+ years of experience in the wedding industry really showed and she and the whole Westin team are true professionals! If you're getting married in Hilton Head, choose the Westin!

A dream venue!
We booked The Westin HHI for our intimate ceremony. It was absolutely beautiful! We went with the KISS package since we were unsure of how COVID would pan out. This package was the perfect fit - we stayed in the Port Royal Suite and our ceremony was on the terrace. This worked out perfectly - everyone was able to get ready in the suite and then just step out onto the terrace for the ceremony. Our reception was in the Mitchelville room and it was also a perfect fit. They even provided us a small dance floor! The staff - especially Heather, Hannah, and Marianna - were extremely helpful! They answered all of our questions, and were very straightforward in their communications. Our family absolutely loved the bar tending team that night as well. Everyone was extremely kind and helpful. Would recommend to any bride!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:

Most Beautiful Oceanfront Venue, Stress-Free Wedding Day!
My husband and I got married at The Westin HHI on June 19th, 2021, and we are SO happy that we chose to get married here! We were initially supposed to get married last June during the pandemic, but we had to postpone our wedding a year. The Westin was amazing throughout that unprecedented experience; the team was extremely accommodating during all the changes that resulted from planning a wedding during a pandemic. We worked closely with Kristen Kilbane for almost two years in planning and postponing our wedding, and she was incredible from start to finish. I know how difficult it was for the team and the hotel as a whole after completely shutting down during lockdown, then re-opening but at 50% staff capacity, and then having to manage all of the cancelations and postponements of major events. It was an incredibly difficult time, but through it all, Kristen was extremely responsive, professional, and went above and beyond our expectations.
We looked at many different venues on Hilton Head Island and other islands in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina because we knew we wanted a destination wedding down South (we are Ohioans)! The Westin was at the top of our budget, but we were confident that the team and the venue would deliver on that value, and then some. No other venue came close to the wow-factor of the Oceanfront Terrace.
Because we aren't local, we planned everything via email and phone. We had never been to The Westin before choosing it as our wedding venue which was worrisome because I thought it would be more difficult to plan. Because the team was so professional, responsive, and offered great recommendations, the process was easy and we knew we were in great hands from the beginning.
What's also unique about the Westin is that they have so many different event spaces! We were able to host all of the wedding events at The Westin in different locations which made it extremely easy for all of our guests, and us! The service during the wedding weekend events was impeccable and our guests commented on how great the food was at all of our various wedding events. Everything was perfectly coordinated and no detail was forgotten.
I was truly amazed at how seamless and perfect our wedding day was. If you want a stress-free wedding day at the most beautiful oceanfront venue, choose The Westin HHI!
HUGE thank you to Kristen, Hannah, and the whole Westin events team for making our special day perfect. It was even better than what I dreamed it would be!

Unforgettable Wedding Weekend
Kristen Kilbane, Hannah Bozard, and the whole Westin crew made our wedding weekend the best experience of our lives! They are so easy to work with, especially since we live out of state, and responded promptly to all of our questions whether it was via email or simply giving them a call. From the food to the execution of all the events, we couldn't have asked for better service! Thank you all for making the Carros wedding weekend such a special and memorable experience for us!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:

Perfect Beach Wedding Venue
The Westin is such a gorgeous resort, and it was no different for our wedding day! The Grand Ocean Terrace was everything I was looking for in a wedding venue. The room is so gorgeous even without all of the decorations and flowers, but those really put it over the top! And Kristen was so amazing to work with, especially throughout all the COVID craziness! She was patient with my thousands of questions and always answered promptly. She was very organized, and I had no stress about venue setup and the food on the day of my wedding because I knew that Kristen would take care of everything and make sure it was exactly how I wanted! The deck was gorgeous for cocktail hour, and they cleared an entire area of the beach for our ceremony setup, so even though it was a public beach it still felt private and secluded form everyone else on the beach. And as a bonus both nights we stayed at the resort (the night before with my bridesmaids and our wedding night with my husband) there was complimentary fruit and nuts, chocolate covered strawberries and champagne waiting in our room for us. They really went above and beyond anything I could have dream of, and I truly couldn't have been happier with our venue or wedding coordinator!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Cristina- Thank you for the kind words. We are delighted that you had the wedding of your dreams and that we could be a part of it! -

Amazing Wedding Venue!
Kristen was wonderful to work with, especially during COVID and having to postpone and replan our destination wedding. Kristen’s responsiveness and commitment to making our wedding weekend at the Westin be everything we envisioned did not go unnoticed. Being that it was a destination wedding and we were not able to have many in-person meetings, we had many questions along the way. At every turn Kristen was there to take a call, respond to our emails and assure us that every detail we were wondering about would be addressed. Kristen executed perfectly on our dream wedding vision.

Unforgettable Wedding Weekend
My husband and I just got married at the Westin Hilton Head Resort & Spa. It was such an incredible experience! I knew when I saw this stunning venue for the first time it was the best choice since this place was designed and built around hosting weddings and events. We had our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, welcome party, ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner reception all in different venues on the same property and it was absolutely beautiful!!
I am truly amazed at how smooth everything went from the beginning to end. The fact that this venue can host multiple events in one place really makes everything flow for you and your guests. The Grand Ocean Terrace is breathtaking if you don’t use this space you are really missing out. All the food was delicious and outstanding, the chef and catering menu can be customized to meet your expectations. Overall I give the Westin Hilton Head Resort & Spa 10/10 for weddings.
The staff is exceptional and will cater to your every need. I started with Hannah she was very gracious to hold our date since we had to cancel our first wedding due to covid somewhere else and wait on that process. Honestly, it was a blessing in disguise since we got to rebook at the Westin. It was my dream venue and yes the wedding weekend felt like a dream come true. Heather Fishburn was exceptional in every way. She was in contact constantly, and always got back to me right away! Heather works very hard to make sure all of your needs are met from day one throughout the planning process, and to the end of the wedding she made sure everything was perfect for us.
I recommend using the Heavenly Salon for hair and makeup. Sheila and her team Gean and Melissa did an outstanding job on my bridesmaids and my beauty. They can come to your bridal suite which makes it a very nice and intimate experience with your girls.
I highly recommend booking the presidential suite if you are not having a limo service that way your bridal party has somewhere to gather and creates a intimate experience!
Overall I give this breath taking venue 5 stars in a heart beat it truly was an unforgettable experience!
It is the most beautiful venue on the east coast.
I can’t wait to go back for many wedding anniversary’s to come! If you don’t book your wedding here you are missing out.The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Lauren, thank you for such a wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear your thoughts on your experience with us. It was a pleasure to work with you and your family! Wishing you all the best and we will see you next year on your anniversary!

Amazing Ocean-side Wedding Venue
When the Groom and I were touring venues, we walked into the Grand Ocean Terrace at the Westin HHI and were completely blown away! The room is beautiful, spacious, and has amazing views of the ocean – it is one of a kind. Once we decided that it was the place we wanted to have our reception, we worked with Kristen Kilbane and Hannah Bozard to finalize our initial contract and details. Two months later… COVID-19 happened. Throughout the entire summer and fall of 2020, Kristen and the rest of the Westin team were amazing, continuing to stay in contact with us, and finally making several COVID-related adjustments in the six months leading up the to wedding. They allowed us to remove the brunch we had initially scheduled as part of our initial contract, to reduce the number of gathering events we were hosting. As the last four weeks arrived, it was clear that with reduced guests due to COVID-19, we were going to be well below our contracted food and beverage minimum. Again, the Westin team worked with us to adjust the minimum to fit our numbers. We had already signed a contract, so the Westin definitely didn’t have to work with us – but they are amazing and care about their couples, and made the whole process easy and stress free! I was never nervous working with Kristen. Kristen also was in constant contact with me the final week before the wedding as we made other final tweaks to numbers and food, she is amazing! She was always on top of everything! She made sure the day ran completely smoothly on the Westin’s end.
The Chef also deserves a note – the food here is amazing! Definitely not your standard chicken or beef meal that you usually get at weddings. Everything tasted so good, we had a hard time deciding at our tasting what our final meal choices would be! All of the guests commented how good the food was; the Groom and I made time to sit down and enjoy our meals too! The Chef was also incredibly accommodating to vegans and other food allergies, those guests still raved about their meals!
The Westin also made sure to make all possible and necessary precautions in regards to COVID-19; we and our guests never felt unsafe or uncomfortable! All of our guests commented on how beautiful and nice the resort is. Overall, the Westin went above and beyond all of my expectations, upgrading our rooms, leaving sweet notes and treats for the Groom and I in our room, and just generally making us feel so incredibly special on this weekend. I can’t recommend the Westin HHI for weddings enough!!!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Danielle, we are honored by your kind words! Thank you for trusting us with your special day, especially during such an unprecedented time. We are delighted to hear how much you loved the Grand Ocean Terrace, catering, and the service provided by our expert team. We wish you the very best!

Absolutely Amazing!
My husband and I had our original April wedding in the FL Keys canceled due to COVID, and due to various circumstances, could not re-plan it with the same venue. Therefore I was scrambling to find another venue to start planning a new wedding from scratch when I came across beautiful photos of the Grand Ocean Terrace at the Westin. It was absolutely breath-taking, and I knew I had to see it in person. After seeing this gorgeous venue and talking with the helpful Westin staff, we booked for December 2020, and we are SO grateful that we did! We worked with Heather, and she was fantastic! She was super responsive and flexible with all of our needs. They handled our wedding flawlessly, even in the midst of COVID, which is not easy to do! Heather and her team worked hard to make our wedding absolutely gorgeous and smooth from start to finish, and they succeeded! They are 100% professionals at what they do, and they made the process so much less stressful than it could've been. I could not recommend them more strongly. Our guests raved about the food, the gorgeous room, and the venue in general! They even went so far as to leave us champagne and snacks in our room as well! We had several last minute drop-outs to our bridal party and guest list, and Heather was completely understanding and helpful every step of the way. Huge shoutout to Heather and her staff, thank you SO much for all your hard work!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:

Perfect Wedding Venue
We had the perfect wedding day at the Westin! Although in the midst of covid, the staff at the Westin was more than willing to work with us on rescheduling and rearranging plans. Through it all, the staff was extremely kind, understanding and very very helpful. We highly recommend anyone looking for the perfect venue to consider the Westin Hilton Head!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:

The Most Unique Wedding Venue on the East Coast!!!
We had our wedding at the Westin in HHI in Oct 2020. This was the best decision we could have made. If you're looking for top notch quality and service, you will get it at the Westin. My husband and I really wanted a "beachy" themed wedding without needing to actually have the ceremony on the sand. The Ocean Front Deck at the Westin is unlike any venue we toured, and we looked at many venues on the NC/SC coast. The Westin keeps the deck in immaculate shape and with the palm trees surrounding it and it being positioned right along the ocean, it's picture perfect for a coastal wedding. The reception space offered in the Grand Ocean Terrace is the coolest venue space we toured, it's absolutely beautiful and so incredibly spacious (which is awesome if you're thinking about covid still being a factor). The coolest part of the GOT is that the back wall is completely lined with window doors along the ocean that can be opened if the weather is nice. We were able to have the doors open for our wedding, had incredible weather, and had an indoor/outdoor feel with a stunning backdrop of the beach. We had SO MANY compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue was. Not to mention the resort itself is beautiful and a great place to offer your guests to stay for a "destination wedding" weekend. Many of our guests chose to come early and we had a full beach day before festivities started on Friday, which was really neat. The resort is so large that they have so many venue spaces you can use for other events if you'd like a full weekend of wedding events. This also makes it nice for the fact that they have many rain back-up options. We were able to host our rehearsal dinner in a beautiful room at the hotel (Mitchelville) that has a big outdoor balcony, a Welcome party outside by the Koi pond with string light along the palm trees, and a farewell brunch. It was so neat to be able to offer your guests multiple events throughout the weekend (where they didn't even have to leave the resort) and also allowed us more time to spend with our guests. Lastly, I want to speak to the staff at the Westin. We worked with Kristen as our wedding coordinator through the Westin and she was fantastic and probably worked harder than any vendor we had to make our wedding weekend perfect; I felt like we were in contact every week for a year and she was extremely responsive and made sure she did everything she could to meet our requests and always tried to be flexible. The servers/bartenders/chef at the Westin also provide great and extremely professional service, not to the mention the food is INCREDIBLE! Lastly, given that our wedding fell during COVID, we were not forced to make any major changes with the wedding and the Westin was so flexible in making some adjustments to our initial plan to make sure all our guests felt safe. Furthermore the Westin is following their own set of strict safety measures to make sure everyone is as safe as possible including staff/servers wearing masks and adjusting how a traditional buffet style meal would be served. Our wedding was so incredibly perfect, I can't imagine it being better even before covid. if you want a truly outstanding, picture-prefect, and reliable venue who is experienced and will make your wedding day go off without a hitch, choose the Westin HHI!-

5 Star Team, Venue, Etc for PERFECT WEDDING - during COVID!
Kristen Kilbane and her team literally saved the day for our wedding. When our original venue canceled our event 40 days prior, Kristen and her team were ready and available to make up for it at the Westin. It wasn't even 48 hours after the initial shock of the first venue before Kristen had basically just switched all our original menus, seating charts, vendors, etc. over to the Westin. What would have been a disaster was made truly seamless. They were so extremely kind and caring during the planning process and the event day as well. The actual wedding day was beautiful, perfectly coordinated, and gorgeous. Did I even mention that the venue is PRISTINE and absolutely breathtaking?!?! We didn't even have time for a taste test but our guests RAVED about the food! Kristen and her team even left us some goodies in our hotel room to celebrate our marriage! Plus, the resort and their staff adhered to the COVID-19 protocol so our guests all felt safe during such a crazy time. I cannot say enough about our experience! If you're on the fence ... don't be! Book them now!!!!!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Holly, thank you for such a wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear your thoughts on your experience with us. It was a pleasure to work with you and your family! Wishing you all the best.

Perfect Place for a Wedding!
If I could give Kristen and her team more than 5 stars I would! My husband, daughter, her fiancé and his parents visited the venue Sep 2019 not having an appointment. I walked in and just asked for a brochure and said we would make an appointment and come back. The groups director came out with the packet and told us the wedding director was getting ready for a wedding that day but she would be happy to take us around. We immediately fell in love with the location and booked it for their 10/10/2020 wedding. COVID hit in Mar and there were some concerns as to whether this wedding would even be able to happen. We did have to restructure how we were doing the reception (changing from stations to plated dinner for social distancing, etc.) and Kristen and her team answered every question and addressed every concern. From the time we arrived a few days before the wedding it was as if the red carpet was rolled out for us. We had several events scheduled for the weekend, Bridesmaids Lunch, Rehearsal Dinner & Morning After Brunch in addition to the reception and we had the same catering team the whole time! The team was wonderful and the food was fantastic! The newly remodeled Oceans Room was the perfect spot for the Bridesmaids Lunch, Mitchelville was great for the rehearsal dinner and breakfast but nothing could compare to the Oceans Terrace for the reception! The spa facilities were also pretty terrific. From the massages (best I have ever had) to the wedding day hair and makeup, just outstanding. The day of the wedding we had questionable weather and there was a real possibility we would need to go to plan B for the ceremony. It was still raining at 2p when the girls were getting ready but by 345 the clouds cleared, the sun came out and maintenance was drying of the deck with leaf blowers. By the time the time the guests began arriving for the 530p ceremony you couldn't even tell it has rained. The Westin Resort is just that good! ;) There are just not enough words to express our gratitude to the the entire Westin Hilton Head team. We couldn't have chosen a better venue for our daughter's wedding!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Thank you so much for the kind words! It was an absolute pleasure to host you and your loved ones for your daughter's wedding. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed our venues, catering, and spa. Best wishes to your family!

Absolute Perfection
Everything about our wedding was absolute magic. Planning a wedding in the midst of a pandemic is chaotic and Heather at the Westin made every moment easy. Her communication and follow through was everything this bridezilla needed. We had our welcome party, ceremony and reception at the Westin and every moment was perfect. The entire team went above and beyond for our guests. Everything was beyond my expectations! All of my guests RAVED about the food on both nights! I cannot thank Heather and the team at the Westin enough for everything they did for us! If you’re looking for a venue, look no further!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Jacqueline, thank you for trusting us with your special day! It was a pleasure to host your wedding, and we're thrilled to hear that everything exceeded your expectations. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Beautiful wedding
I had my wedding at the Westin in Hilton head and it was stunning. The refuse was clean and had great views. Kristen was my wedding planner and really listened to try to do everything I wanted.

I can’t put into words how much my husband and I loved the Westin! Kristen was on top of everything and helped us plan our ceremony, reception, and welcome party. It was a breeze and it all happened flawlessly. The Grand Ocean Terrace is a DREAM! I can’t recommend this place enough!!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:

The perfect destination wedding!
The Westin staff is the most professional I have ever dealt with for any event. From the minute we booked my daughter's wedding over a year and a half ago, they have done exactly what we were promised and were able to prevent any last minute stress or problems. Eve that with the law of averages something would have to go a little wrong! I was mistaken... with the planners help the day of the wedding [which they require for the last 30 days and the best money you will ever spend] all went perfectly. Even a last minute trolley breakdown [from Savannah] was handled immediately with zero stress to us. My daughter was able to concentrate on being the bride -- not a problem solver -- on her special day... and everyone was enchanted with the the Ocean Terrace Room and indeed the whole Westin resort. Kristen Kilbane was amazing... handling the business details with such accuracy and always willing to explain every cost. You never felt out of the loop on anything. I want to thank the entire cast of characters at the Westin Hilton Head Resort and Spa for enabling us to host a world class wedding for my daughter and son-in-law, their friends, our families and our friends! You can no doubt spend as much as you are able but no matter what your budget... it will BE lavish. I would recommend this as a wedding venue to anyone -- especially if you are having-- as we did -- a destination wedding...since Hilton Head is such a resort and vacation place to be. Even the weather was great in November! We are so grateful! Nancy CardoneThe Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Hi, Nancy!
Thank you so much for the kind words. We are honored to have earned such a glowing review and recommendation from you. It is wonderful to hear that your guests were enchanted with The Grand Ocean Terrace, that Kristen kept you in the loop for every detail, and most importantly, that Kim was able to relax and enjoy the day as a bride. We're grateful to have been chosen as the venue for Kim and Matthew's special day. Sincerely, The Westin Hilton Head Island Events Team -

Amazing venue & staff
We had our wedding this past weekend at the Westin Hilton Head and it exceeded all of our expectations. From the first time we toured the property to the minute we left, our experience was extraordinary. Kristen helped us with everything from setting up the tasting to making sure my parents were able to get into their room early. The staff at the hotel was so accommodating and made our after-wedding pool party a huge success. I would recommend this venue to ANYONE who is looking to have the perfect food, service, setting, etc.The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Hi, Kara! Thank you so much for the kind words. We are so appreciative that we have earned your recommendation to future brides or grooms.

Amazing wedding day and beautiful venue!
I had the most amazing experience at The Westin! I had a destination wedding and got married on the ocean front deck and had my reception in the grand ocean Terrace. I had the honor of working with Kristen and she was very kind, respectful, and professional. She answered my emails quickly and efficiently. Kristen made sure all of my wants/ needs were met. The views from the ocean front deck and ocean terrace were beautiful- my guests were very pleased as well! This was my best experience of my life! I can’t thank the Westin enough for providing such a wonderful experience. I can not wait to go back and visit!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Hi, Julianna! Thank you so much for the kind words. We are truly honored that you and Nick chose The Westin to host your special day.

I absolutely loved working with the Westin on our Fall wedding. The venue was incredibly beautiful and the staff went above and beyond to make our day feel so special.

Best day of our lives!
We got married at the Grand Ocean Terrace last June and it was one of the best days of our lives. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing! Everyone at the Westin we worked with was beyond amazing and so helpful in every way. We live in NYC and wanted to do a small beach destination wedding. and initially came to Hilton Head to check out a different venue. But when we came to the Westin and toured the Grand Ocean Terrace room, we knew this had to be our wedding venue! The room was absolutely stunning with beautiful beachy/modern rustic decor and when you look out the window, you have an unobstructed view of the ocean. We first met with Ashlee who was the Catering Manager and the fact that we were so far away planning this wedding, Ashlee was so amazing - from answering all my questions and responding promptly. When she left, I was a little nervous since it was so close to our wedding and Ben and I had a lot of different items going on. Thankfully, Kristen who took over was more than capable and was just as amazing. We had our rehearsal beach party at the private cabana section and had our ceremony on the beach. Everything went perfectly and we couldn't ask for better weather. The reception turned our beautifully, the food was amazing, the staff was attentive and we really couldn't have asked for a better day. Westin will always be such a special place in our hearts and we are SO looking forward to heading back down there in few weeks to celebrate our 1 year anniversary!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Hi, Mia! Thank you for the kind words! We truly appreciate you sharing your experience with others. It was a pleasure to host your special day, and we loved having you back for your anniversary!

Amazing wedding :)
My husband and I recently got married at the Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa and could not be more pleased with EVERYTHING. Our event manager, Kristen, was absolutely AMAZING to work with. She was beyond caring and accommodating to us throughout our stay at the resort. She made not only our wedding day a dream, but the entire week leading up to it. We had to switch venues due to weather and she was BEYOND helpful and thrilled to help us make that day exactly what we wanted. I cannot say enough about how much not only we enjoyed our time, but all of our wedding guests. We have not stopped talking about it for two weeks!!! I cannot wait to visit again soon. BEST DAY OF MY LIFE thanks to the Kristen and the Westin Hilton Head :)The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Hi, Jason and Dani! Congratulations! Thank you for choosing The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa for your wedding day.

The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort exceeded our expectations for our daughter’s wedding – the venue and services were fantastic! We hosted a cocktail hour, wedding reception, after party and departure breakfast for 190 - all overlooking the Atlantic Ocean - you can’t create a lovelier venue. Kristen Kilbane and the Westin event staff handled everything professionally and seamlessly. The service, food and decor were top notch.
The Grand Ocean Terrace room for the reception was stunning and needed limited decorating as it directly fronts the dunes, the beach and the ocean. A great space, and the sunsets are incredible. There was plenty of room to accommodate a large number of guests with plated dinner and dancing. The glass doors open to an outside deck – which afforded people the ability to go “outside” and never really leave the reception.
Our guests are still talking about the "5 star" location. They were able to stay in beautiful rooms with direct views of the ocean, hear the sound of the waves and have direct access to the beach from the Westin. Room prices were reasonable and with the ability to take the elevator back to their rooms after the reception our guests didn't have to travel far! All in all a fantastic spot for a destination wedding - Hilton Head Island has so much to do. 12 miles of beautiful ocean front beaches, 24 public and private golf courses, tons of shopping and 250+ restaurants both on or directly off the island.The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Hi, Kathleen! It was truly a pleasure to host your daughter's wedding and exceed your expectations. We are so pleased to hear that your guests enjoyed their oceanfront accommodations and the location of the resort. The Grand Ocean Terrace made a beautiful venue for your daughter's reception! Thank you so much for the kind words, and we look forward to seeing your family again in the future! Best wishes, The Westin Hilton Head Island Events Team -

The Westin Hilton Head Resort & Spa was the perfect venue for our daughter’s wedding. We had originally planned the wedding at a Caribbean location but had to change venues due to hurricane damage in that area. We contacted this location to see if they had availability for the same dates and we were thrilled when they said yes. We found Hilton Head to be such a wonderful destination for everyone that we wondered why we ever looked anywhere else! We had the pleasure of working with Heather Fishburn, who was amazing through the whole process of planning our daughter’s dream wedding. The wedding was a combination of events over 4 days for close to 300 guests: a rehearsal dinner, welcome party, a traditional Hindu ceremony followed by a traditional Christian ceremony, a reception, and finally, a farewell brunch. Heather worked closely with our wedding planner for months prior to the wedding - and made sure everything was absolutely seamless during the wedding events. We totally appreciated that she was always available by email or phone, and prompt to answer any questions. The Westin has a variety of beautiful event spaces - our favorite was the Grand Ocean Terrace, we made use of the ballroom and Ocean Front Deck as well. The food at the Westin was amazing - the variety and options available were perfect for us. The entire food and beverage team made sure that we could work out a menu that made everyone happy. The staff impressed us everyday with their professional service as well us making us feel welcome wherever we went throughout the property. They seemed as excited about the wedding as we were! There was a point during our planning process where there were changes in key staff - we were nervous that what we had planned would not take place as smoothly as planned. We had absolutely nothing to be concerned about - we truly appreciated that that the transition was smooth and professional - Heather Fishburn was key to making sure that everything was perfect!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Hi, Tanuja! We are so glad that we were able to host Meghana and Josh's wedding celebration. It was a spectacular weekend; certainly one that we won't forget! You all were wonderful to work with, and we hope to see you and your family again soon. Thank you for the kind words. Best wishes, The Westin Hilton Head Island Events Team -

The event team at the Westin HHI are amazing!! Next to our planner, the event staff were super helpful and excellent to work with. The food; massive salad spread, local low country sea food, mash potato martinis and prime rib all got rave reviews from a room full of ppl that love to eat. The wait staff were top notch and catered to our every need. Can’t thank Hannah and Lauren enough for all their help. Larry-The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:

We were searching for the perfect spot for our wedding day, and this was it. Ashlee Fleming was AMAZING. Such a sweet person and very professional. She did everything and more than what we asked of her. She answered all of our questions and emails right away and helped us with the menu. She made our special day really happen because without her, nothing could get accomplished. We were fortunate enough to rent the Grand Oceanview Terrance and the view is to die for. Everyone loved their food, too. I definitely would recommend this location. -

Having our wedding at the Westin Hilton Head Island was the BEST decision we made. Ashlee Fleming is the holy grail of wedding gurus. She will work with you until you get exactly what you want or need. Without her the process would have been so much less enjoyable and I know we wouldn't have had the wedding of our dreams. Our guests were blown away by the Ocean Front Terrace, the proximity to the beach, THE FOOD and the gorgeous resort. Everything was incredible - every detail. Thank you to the staff at the Westin and to ASHLEE! We were so lucky to have found you. Get married here - seriously, do it. -

The Westin was a beautiful venue for our October wedding reception. We worked with Ashlee and she was so incredibly wonderful to work with. I never had any problems. She is quick to email responses to your questions and our day was seamless. There were two other weddings the same night at the Westin and I hardly even noticed. We had cocktail hour on the oceanfront deck and our reception in the ballroom. The food was very good and our guests loved staying at the resort. -

The Westin was the perfect wedding venue for my husband and I. Our guests were well taken care of during their stay and I have had so many compliments on how beautiful the venue turned out. It was so convenient having the ceremony on the ocean front deck and then just walking over to the pavilion. Ashlee Fleming was our wedding coordinator and she was WONDERFUL. I could not have asked for a better person to work with. She was always quick to reply to all of my questions and concerns. On wedding day she kept everything running smooth and on time. She was always on time, professional and thinking of everything that I needed to get done/ may not have thought of already. They day was perfect and I could not have dreamed of a better venue!!! -

I could not have asked for a better venue and experience at the Westin. Ashlee, my coordinator, was fantastic and so helpful through the planning process. She made sure everything went smoothly the day of. The food was phenomenal, we got so many compliments from our guests on how delicious it was. -

I can't say enough about Julia Dodson & the team at the Westin. The beautiful resort & grounds speak for themselves.... but Julia's service and assistance was wonderful. I am so grateful towards Julia for helping me & my family manage all details of my destination wedding and making us feel at ease & excited! Our wedding day was gorgeous and I was beyond relaxed all day knowing Julia was on hand to help. All of our guests had an amazing time staying & celebrating at the Westin and we have received so many compliments on the Ceremony & Reception venues. Truly a dream. -

Words cannot express how much we loved having our wedding at The Westin. We specifically worked with Ashlee Fleming during the entire process and I can’t say enough positive things about her. We were an out of town couple with no wedding planner, so it was comforting knowing that The Westin was taking care of a lot of items; food, drinks, tables, chairs, linens, etc. We also held our reception dinner at The Westin which was completely set-up and carried out by them as well.
All my communication with The Westin was thru Ashlee and she was extremely responsive, professional, and straight forward with anything and everything I sent her way. The Westin provided us with a recommended vendors list which was very helpful when it came to hiring a photographer, florist, officiant, DJ, etc. Not only had all the vendors done work at the Westin previously, but the majority of them already had a working relationship with Ashlee. This was extremely helpful when it came to the actual wedding day because all those vendors contacted Ashlee when they arrived and everything was done behind the scenes without me having to be involved (setting up flowers, cakes, directing people around, etc.). Additionally, all the women in the wedding got their hair and makeup done at the spa in the hotel and they did an amazing job!
Our rehearsal dinner was located at the Koi Pond, we were married outside on the oceanfront deck, and our reception was in the oceanfront pavilion; all were absolutely gorgeous settings. Two out of the three leading compliments we received were with regards to the food and the venue. The hotel did an amazing job with the buffet for the rehearsal dinner as well as the plated dinners during the reception. Once arrived on site, our guests had no reason to leave because everything was so conveniently located within the resort. Everything about the entire experience was perfect thanks to The Westin and in particular thanks to Ashlee. -

We were recently married on the Oceanfront deck with the reception in the Oceanfront Pavilion. The Westin is obviously a beautiful venue with great amenities, but the key to this venue is the wedding coordinator, Julia Dodson. She is AMAZING. She helped me every step along the way in planning the event from afar. She offered great advice on details of the wedding, from seating to food - which got great compliments from everyone. She was always readily available and responded immediately to all emails and questions. The Spa was great - hair and makeup were perfect. And the bar opened early for my festive guests who wanted to start the party early. Overall a great experience! -

My wife and I cannot say enough about this venue and it's professional staff and service. Our Westin wedding coordinator, Julia Dodson, worked closely with our wedding planner to deliver our dream wedding. She was attentive, professional and flexible to all of our needs.
Our guests also enjoyed multiple days of great service. We're already planning a return vacation next summer! -

We could never say enough wonderful things about Julia Dodson (Sales Manager, Catering) at The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa! She and her colleagues attended to every detail, giving us the wedding of our dreams! Julia is incredibly well-organized and promptly responded to and addressed all of our questions and requests during the year-long planning process. We had a beautiful ceremony on the oceanfront deck and a ballroom reception in the Westin's newly renovated spaces. The food at our wedding was delicious and we received many compliments. We and our guests received excellent service from the entire staff of the Westin. Service at the pool and restaurants was fast and friendly and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our guests had both a memorable time at our wedding and an enjoyable getaway to the Westin. Housekeeping responded immediately to every request, including cleaning the bridal suite three times on the wedding day so that it would be perfect each time I returned to it. Gene in the Heavenly Spa beautifully styled my bridal party's hair and my own for the wedding. If you are looking to get married on Hilton Head Island, look no further than the Westin! -

For my daughter'is wedding/reception we worked with Julian Dodson. Can't say enough about what an amazing job she did from start to finish. She was so pleasant to work with. We live Ohio, so was a little concerned about planning a wedding in Hilton Head.
Julia made it a wonderful experience. She was always available if I needed her and always took whatever time needed to help. My husband, myself, and the bride and groom said it was everything we could have dreamed of and more, wouldn't have changed a thing. Our event was such a great success due to Julia Dodson.
The Westin Hilton Head Resort &Spa was a great venue and did a great job.

We cannot say enough good things about this venue! Julia Dodson, the wedding coordinator, was wonderful to work with and definitely knows her stuff. She made it super easy to plan the wedding from afar, as she kept in regular email contact as needed and gave us a "FaceTime tour" to save us the expense of traveling to Hilton Head. All of our guests raved about how beautiful the resort is and how easy everything was given that accommodations, ceremony, and reception were all at the same location. The food was delicious too! Everything went off without a hitch thanks to Julia and her staff. I wish we could do it all again! -

The Westin is gorgeous! My husband and I got married in the beginning of May, the weather in Hilton Head that time of year is pristine, and the Westin offers a great venue to enjoy it. We could not have asked more from the staff and accommodations. But the real draw to the Westin should be its Wedding Coordinator, Julia. We had a bit of an untraditional wedding. It lasted the entire day, and had so many moving parts. From the very beginning Julia was there to answer any and ALL questions. She made us feel so comfortable during an already hectic time. She was quick with sure-fire recommendations and to provide an experienced view for two families that hadn't much experience in this department. The weekend of, she and her staff were tremendous. She was Johnny-on-the-spot with all our requests and needs, and worked so well with all the outside vendors. Julia truly saw the vision of our day along with us, and created a timeless, wonderful experience for us. We will be eternally grateful for that. -

Working with Trish and catering and sales was great. From the time we contracted with the Westin, she always kept us informed of any changes, decisions that needed to be made, or things we didn't think about needed to make our day go as smooth as possible. The hotel staff was wonderful and the wedding guests that stayed at the hotel, really enjoyed the stay. She was able to accommodate all our requests immediately. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking to do a wedding at a hotel on the beach in Hilton Head, SC. -

Amazing location and beautiful scenery! Everything about the Westin was amazing. They set up everything for my wedding exactly how I envisioned it from the ceremony to reception. Julia was very helpful throughout the process and made sure everything was exactly the way my husband and I wanted it. Julia remembered the little things we liked and made sure we had the throughout the wedding weekend. They are amazing people to work with and as a little girl I went to Hilton Head and loved it and having my wedding there made me fall in love with it all over again! -

If you are looking for a beach wedding, but don't want to deal with all the heat, unpredictable weather and frizzy hair then you need to book your ceremony and reception at The Westin. It provides you with being close to the ocean to get those great pictures but wonderful spaces inside to stay cool. The hotel just went under an amazing renovation-I was blown away by the finished product. The hotel was already amazing and now it is just beyond gorgeous. The even coordinator Julia was fabulous. She was so knowledgeable about what needed to happen and how to get things done. Any bride looking for a picture-perfect wedding needs to go to The Westin! -

Trish and the team at the Westin Hilton Head are absolutely phenomenal! My husband (!!) and I fell in love with the Westin after our first visit there. The Oceanfront deck has a stunning view of the ocean and the Oceanfront pavilion carries over the same stunning views. Trish was there for us every step of the way, even stopping by each event on-site to make sure we were happy, and coordinated with our wedding planner to make sure that we got exactly the wedding we wanted. They went over every last detail to make sure that the Westin staff was able to execute our wedding and reception perfectly and the night could not have gone better. The food was what you would expect from a fine dining restaurant - our "surf and turf" of local mahi-mahi and kobe hangar steak - even when executed for 145 guests still tasted like it was being served in a fine restaurant and not like some mass produced dinner entree. The food was important to us and it was clearly equally as important to the Westin and their new executive chef and it showed. The staff really seem to enjoy what they do and very easily kept all of our guests happy...so happy in fact that quite a few of the waiters and waitresses were dragged up to the dance floor to do the Cupid Shuffle at the end of the night. -

As a little girl, my dream wedding has always been on the beach. My husband and I had a destination wedding. From using google to search for beach venues, I came across the Westin. We went and visited and it was so beautiful. It was also our first time in Hilton Head Island and Hilton Head is gorgeous! Such a beautiful quiet place and perfect for a wedding. The Westin was a good price that fit in our budget. They actually worked with our budget. They provided us the ceremony chairs, reception chairs and tables, and the linens. My guest also loved the food at the reception. The Westin will work with what you want. Our wedding coordinater, Trish Luckenbill, was very helpful. She is easy to work with and responds quickly to your emails! -

Working with the Westin's catering manager, Trish Luckenbill, leading up to our wedding was such a pleasure. She made our special day so memorable and provided wonderful service with a lovely personality. Since our wedding was a destination wedding in Hilton Head, we had SO many questions, and she was always there to answer them in a very timely manner and provided wonderful recommendations on vendors who did not disappoint! We fell in love with The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort and Spa as our wedding venue a year prior to the big day and knew it would be the perfect venue to tie the knot. Our wedding day far exceeded our wildest dreams and really was our dream wedding at our dream location. We looked at virtually every other venue on Hilton Head Island for our wedding and came away with the conclusion that The Westin's beauty far surpassed all others. Trish and The Westin made our special day so wonderful, so THANK YOU for all that you did for us - we can't wait to celebrate our anniversary there this time next year! -

The Westin was a fantastic venue. Malely Cowan is the ultimate in wedding coordinators. We planned our wedding from NYS so it could have been a disaster. However, Malely gave us a list of vendors to contact and guided us through everything that we needed to do. She allowed us to have the wedding of our dreams and made sure that everything went the way it was supposed to. Each time I communicated with her she listened to me and made sure that my needs were being met. When we arrived the week of our wedding, we were able to turn everything over to Malely and relax at the beautiful resort. People were amaze how relaxed I was and it's because of her.
I highly recommend getting your hair and makeup done at the Spa. We had a ladies luncheon and the Westin catered it. We were treated like royalty. For our reception, the food was amazing! I don't think you could pick anything on that menu that would disappoint.
Our friends and family have remarked at how easy and beautiful our wedding was and we owe a large part of that to Malely and the other employees at the Westin. -

The Westin Resort & Spa is the best place to have your beach wedding! We initially worked with Francesca and Danielle. Both were so pleasant and down to earth. Danielle worked so hard and went above and beyond to make our week at the Westin and our wedding the best ever!! Our friends and family all stayed at the Westin the week of our wedding. Danielle helped with our wedding decor and making sure it was all in place. My wedding day was my happiest day ever and Danielle helped make it beautiful! Thank you Danielle & the Westin Resort & Spa!! - Kelley Callahan, Charlotte NC -

We cannot say enough about how amazing the Westin Resort was during the entire planning process and wedding weekend. Not only is it a beautiful location to get married, but the staff there is incredible and the wedding went off without a hitch. We know that we owe most of our thanks to our catering sales manager, Malely Cowan. From day one, she offered 150% with all her helpful suggestions and she went above and beyond with every interaction we had with her. She is extremely organized and took care of everything we needed. Not only was she amazing to plan the menu with and coordinate with our vendors, but the day of the wedding she was invaluable. She handled every detail to make sure it all seemed effortless, and absolutely everything went the way we wanted it to. We never had to worry about any of the tiny details because we knew she had it under control. She even ran out to us during our after-ceremony wedding pictures to bring us a cocktail from the cocktail hour that we couldn't attend. And later she made sure we got to try the appetizers as well. It seemed like she was everywhere at all times and we got hundreds of compliments on how great she was from our guests. Every interaction we had with the staff at the Westin was great, and the spa staff is incredible as well. I highly recommend getting a massage the day before the wedding. It was a great way to relax and rejuvenate before the big day. Their beauty salon staff also did an amazing job on our hair and make-up as well. So if you are planning on getting married in Hilton Head Island, get married at the Westin!!! You will not regret it! -

Danielle, our wedding planner couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. She assisted me with the many questions and phone calls and was pleasant and sweet every time. Three days before the wedding I spoke with Danielle about the weather and moving the reception from the pool terrace inside. She was able to reserve the gazebo for us and it was beautiful!! Our ceremony was perfect with a cool breeze from the ocean and walking into the air conditioned gazebo made it even better. We were so happy with every detail from our cake to the pictures and the fantastic buffet. I would recommend Danielle at the Westin Resort and Spa to any bride. She upgraded our room and had chocolate covered strawberries delivered after the reception. Thank you Danielle!!!!
My hair appointment was at the Spa and I had chipped almost every nail the day of the wedding. I inquired about white nail polish so I could touch up my nails while my hair was getting an up-do. My hairdresser sat me down and polished the tips. I was so happy with my nails and big hair style. It took awhile to remove the bobby pins but it was worth it. Thank you to the Spa for making me a beautiful bride!!

We recently had our ceremony and reception, as well as rehearsal/welcome dinner and farewell brunch, at the Westin and loved it! Julia Dodson was wonderful to work with- friendly, responsive and knowledgeable,and went above and beyond to ensure that the whole weekend went well. Our guests all commented on how great the food was and what a wonderful venue we chose. The entire resort staff were incredibly professional and friendly.
For reference, we had a smaller wedding of about 50 guests. We had a beach ceremony followed by a cocktail hour and reception in the Oceanfront Pavilion. Our welcome dinner was in the Mitchelville Room and farewell brunch outside at the Koi Pond (these were supposed to be reversed, but flipped due to weather, and it worked out just fine if not better than we'd planned!).
It was great to have almost all of our guests stay right there on site (as this was a destination wedding for us), and the list of recommended vendors that the Westin provides is a great for putting together all of the pieces.
We couldn't have been more pleased with how everything turned out! -

I had my wedding at the Westin Resort and Spa Hilton Head Island on 8/22/09. The ceremony was on the pool terrace and the reception was at the oceanfront pavilion. My contact was Francesca (Ches) Ney. For starters, Ches was absolutley fabulous. She was the most positive, flexible, delightful person I worked with during the planning process. She was responsive to my every question and need. Sometimes I sent her 10 e-mails a day and she would answer every one of them. Almost without exception, every want and need I expressed was met. The Westin offered impeccable service. The plated dinner came out in a timely fashion. The servers were helpful and polite.
I also had a hotel room block and many of my guests stayed on the property for the event, which was so great. We were all able to spend a lot of time together at the pool and beach thoughtout the week which made my event more like an entire week of celebration. The Westin added a few special touches (will keep as a surprise for you if you decide to hire them). The rate for the room block was extremely reasonable. The other thing I really appreciated about the Westin was that they were willing to negotiate - if there was something not on the menu, etc they were willing to color outside the lines and make it happen. I was extremely happy with the venue for my wedding and would recommend it to anyone looking to have a destination wedding for sure! Lastly, I highly recommend the jacuzzi suite for your bridal suite! It was amazing! -

We highly recommend the Westin for a wedding ceremony. My wife and I had a spectacular day that the team at the Westin helped make possible. We loved the Grand Ocean Terrace room which was stunning, the hotel and rooms that our guests held were wonderful, the views, pool, and beach were spectacular, the staff was very accommodating, the food and beverage was very tasty and presented excellently. Heather Fishburne was a phenomenal person to work with throughout the process and helped us understand what was possible and what would work better within the property and made our day truly wonderful. Thank you to the Westin, Heather, and staff for making our dream come true.The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:

10/10 Would get married again here!
My husband and I got married at the Westin in June 2021, although our original date was in June 2020. The Westin was very flexible with moving the date due to covid-19 and made our day extremely special. The venue was BREATHTAKING and all of our guests commented on what a wonderful room the Grand Ocean Terrace was. We originally planned for cocktail hour to be outside on the deck, but moved it inside due to the threat of rain, which our guests said was even better since the entire event was in air conditioning while looking out over the water. The other common compliment we received was how delicious the food was. We LOVED the filet and snapper entre choices as much as our guests did. The food truly was phenomenal. Overall, the day was fabulous and a breeze thanks to our coordinator Kristin for taking care of all details ahead of time. My only complaint would be the gift bag situation - the Westin delivers the bags you supply to each guest at night and not all our guests received the bags. I would recommend changing the policy to handing out gift bags upon arrival at the front desk. But such a minor hiccup in what was a fabulous weekend and wedding. We would absolutely recommend having your wedding or any event here!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Hi Lauren, thank you so much for the great review! It was a pleasure to be apart of your special day. Wishing you both all the best in the future.

Beautiful Venue
We absolutely loved our wedding at the Westin! Even throughout Covid, in the end everything worked out. We didn't get to use the room we wanted for the reception due to the companies COVID policy, but they did their best to still make our wedding a dream. Kristen and Hannah are wonderful to work with throughout each step of the wedding planning process. The views are gorgeous, and the food is incredible. They made sure all of my crazy food allergies were handled, and made sure that everyone was able to eat regardless of allergy restrictions. We highly recommend the Westin for an amazing wedding experience!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Lindsey, thank you for trusting us with your special day, especially during such an unprecedented time! It was truly a pleasure to be a part of the celebration. We are delighted by your kind words. We wish you all the best!

A Perfect Wedding Day!
We cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to have our daughter's wedding at the Westin on Hilton Head Island. Kristen Kilbane and the entire Westin staff did an outstanding job of ensuring that the weekend was perfect. Our guests are raving about the hotel, the cocktail hour on the Ocean Front Deck and, of course, the reception in the Grand Ocean Terrace. My daughter and her bridal party used the spa on site at the Westin for their nails, hair, and make-up and it could not have been easier. Kristen was professional in every way, quick to respond to any questions we had, and always gave a helpful answer or advice when we needed it. If you are contemplating having your event at the Westin on Hilton Head Island, just know that you will not be disappointed. Everything for us was just perfect.The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Hi, Kim! We want to thank you and your family for choosing The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa for your daughter's wedding. It was truly a pleasure to host Katie & Zach's special day. We are delighted to hear that your guests enjoyed the Oceanfront Deck cocktail hour and the Grand Ocean Terrace reception. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see your family again soon!

Wedding planners were most helpful, communicated frequently, and met all of our needs. The venue, Koi Pond Garden, was beautifully lit with cafe lights around palm trees. We were surprised with champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries that evening in our room. -

I can't say enough about working with Ashlee Fleming from The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort and Spa! She truly is a pleasure to work with and I enjoyed every step of my wedding planning thanks to her! We booked our venue in January for a wedding in early May, so needless to say there was a lot to do in very little time. Planning a wedding from NY when you have never even step foot on the property is also interesting:). Thankfully, working with Ashlee put me at ease, knowing that every last detail was taken care of. Ashlee and I communicated via email sometimes up to 10 times a day, and still always came across and patient and willing to help. On the day of our wedding, Ashlee made sure everything was perfect, and it truly was. The Pavilion was absolutely beautiful for our reception and the koi pond a huge success for our cocktail hour! We loved the hotel, it was so clean and everyone was so pleasant during our stay. I wouldn't change a thing about our Wedding Day, I wish we could do it all over again!! -

We could not more highly recommend having your wedding at the Westin! Working with Julia was a true delight and throughout the process we often commented to each other how fortunate we were to be working with her. Her organization, coordination, and relationships with other vendors built such great confidence in us that we knew our day would be a success - and it was. We loved having our ceremony and cocktails on the Oceanfront Deck and reception in the Oceanfront Pavilion - such beautiful settings and a great event for our guests. The Westin staff across the board went above and beyond for us, and provided a great experience for wedding guests as well as hotel guests. Julia replied promptly to every email and text leading up to the big day to ensure we had crossed every T and dotted every I and had everything we needed. And our big day went off without a hitch! -

We just returned from our wedding weekend and extended stay at the Westin. It was so hard to leave after having our DREAM wedding. It was everything we had envisioned and hoped for. From our first visit to the beautiful Westin in Hilton Head, we knew there was no better place for our ceremony and reception. The resort is gorgeous and luxurious while still being family friendly and fun. We had a gorgeous ceremony overlooking the beach on the Oceanfront Deck- it was so picturesque! Then cocktails and appetizers on the deck before moving to the Oceanfront Pavilion for the reception. Everything flowed so well and was so easy! It was just what we wanted for our guests. The food was delicious and we were able to add some unique additions that made the station dinner fun- like shrimp gazpacho and pulled pork sliders!
Julia and her team are AMAZING! I can't say enough about how grateful we are to them for their efforts, details, and execution of our dream wedding. Julia was so attentive and quick to respond to emails throughout the process. She had lots of great ideas and was always thinking of things I wasn't. As a bride planning from afar, Julia was a lifesaver! She is truly talented at her job and you can see the love and effort she puts into it. Julia kept me calm and was so helpful the weekend of the wedding. It made all the difference to be able to trust someone so efficient and reliable. I would highly recommend working with her and her wonderful staff. The Westin staff in general were also a pleasure to work with- from the bellman, to the desk staff, to the bartenders, waitstaff, and concierge- everyone was incredibly helpful, friendly, and accommodating! I can't wait to go back and visit. I would highly recommend this venue, staff, and hotel for an amazing beach, vacation wedding! -

The Westin treated us like we were a king and queen and we would recommend them and their staff to anyone looking to have a wedding in HHI. Although it was on the more expensive side when it came to the venue/food cost - it was worth it in the end. All of the staff from the cooks to the banquet manager were amazing and even helped us pack up all of our wedding boxes and load our car. We couldn't have asked for anything better :) -

Wed at the Westin was a Fabulous Occasion
Words cannot express how lovely the ceremony and reception were on the Ocean Front Deck and the Grand Ocean Terrace. Our daughter was treated like royalty and staff was friendly and courteous. Our event contact, Kristen, and coordinator Heather made themselves available through every step of the event from walk through to rehearsal to the wedding itself. I cannot wait to go back to celebrate an anniversary or two!The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa's reply:
Hi, Donna! We want to send a heartfelt thank you to you and your family for choosing The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa as the location for Jamie and Russell's wedding. We are delighted to hear that Jamie was treated like royalty and that Kristen and Heather were able to ease the stresses of wedding planning. We truly appreciate your kind words, and we look forward to welcoming you back for future celebrations! Best wishes, The Westin Hilton Head Island Events Team -

My husband and I got married at The Westin two weeks ago. Being that this was a destination wedding we wanted to pick a place that reflecting our style as well as highlights the beauty of Hilton Head Island. We looked at many resorts and country clubs and picked The Westin because of the beautiful grounds and perfect backdrop. If you are looking for a place to wow your guests this is the location! From the amazing oceanfront deck for our ceremony and cocktail hour, to the oceanfront pavilion for our reception and wonderful food and service we were able to provide all of our out of town guests with the total package. The Westin was easy to work with and responsive with all of our requests. I would absolutely recommend them to any bride and groom especially for a destination wedding! -

Great but several bumps in the road, still would recommend due to the beautiful venue
Truly this space is like nothing I have ever seen. My husband and I searched high and low for somewhere to get ready that was near the water and had more of a modern twist. We are both from Florida and found nothing that grasped our eye there. While living in ATL we decided to take a trip to this venue and spend the weekend there. Immediately when we toured and saw the grand ocean terrace, I knew this was where I wanted to get married. Although there were SEVERAL bumps in the road (but to keep it short and simple) renovations throughout the hotel we were unaware of including being kicked out of the presidential suite. BUT, to say the least they were able to accommodate us and give us several things including free nights, etc. It all ended up working out. There we are also a few bumps in the road during the wedding weekend of them having to move a few rooms to another hotel for a night. But truly they did make our wedding dreams come true. Just know with booking at any resort there will be bumps in the road and things go wrong. It just is what happens when you decide to have a wedding at a hotel resort! It will never be perfect as much as they try to sell that to you in the beginning and that’s ok! You just have to be able to roll with the punches and know that I will not affect your over all day. During our wedding weekend though Andrew was incredible!! He was right there assisting with anything we needed and making sure the final touches were together. Even after the wedding we stayed for a few extra days and he was there making sure we were taken care of and satisfied with our stay. Andrew is a definitely an employee who goes above and beyond. Also other employees we worked closely with were Kelly and Sonja who were also great in helping with everything. The grand ocean terrace above all was incredible and even though there were bumps in the road and not everything was perfect I still would recommend the Westin. Also the FOOD was EXCELLENT!! The best wedding food ever. They were able to customize our menu as well. It was great and we received several compliments on the venue as well as the food. -

I want to start by saying the venue is stunning, the food was delicious, and the day-of logistics went very smoothly! If you want a beautiful Hilton Head wedding this is the venue. Hannah was our point of contact and she was amazing to work with!
That being said, I was underwhelmed with how my family and I were treated at times considering how much money we were spending for the weekend. The bridal suite wasn't ready until 20 minutes before our rehearsal Friday which was extremely stressful - it took over 2 hours from when I tried to check in to when the room was ready. I understand you can't guarantee early check in but again, considering it was my wedding weekend it would have been nice if someone at the front desk even remotely seemed to care/try to expedite things. They also offered lower rates to a few of our guests but would not offer my family the same rates which was disappointing. Again, the wedding was a great experience overall but I expected more from an accommodation standpoint. -

Beautiful Venue, Complicated to Work With
The actual venue is amazing, and our wedding, June 4, 2023, was absolutely perfect. However, working with the Westin leading up to the big day wasn't always the easiest -- they didn't even set aside a time for us to do our rehearsal the day before, which we assumed came with reserving the venue for a wedding, especially given the price of doing so. Additionally, the check-in process was a nightmare for some of our guests as their rooms weren't ready for hours after they were supposed to be (check-in at 3pm but rooms weren't ready until after 6pm). Also, some of my relatives were double-charged on their cards for the rooms and had a really difficult/confusing time trying to figure it out at the front desk, ultimately resolving to just call AMEX and have them figure it out for them. Overall, this is a great place for a picture-perfect beach-front wedding but be prepared to deal with some frustrating service along the way. -

I had so many problems with Trish & Hannah. I started out with Trish as my wedding coordinator & 2 1/2 weeks before my wedding I was told by my Florist (NOT Trish) that Trish received a promotion & was no longer my wedding coordinator. I had been trying to get a hold of Trish for weeks by the time my Florist told me why she probably wasn’t answering, so I finally understood why I wasn't getting any responses from Trish.... in some cases it took her a month to answer an e-mail.
I had asked to change the way the napkins were folder (even sent them a picture) they didn't listen, I asked to change when the toast/speeches were happening (they didn't), I asked for all the gifts to be brought down from the ceremony room to the reception (2 were left unattended in the ceremony room), I asked for my favors (3 cake pops per guest) to be put on the napkins (they walked around & put them on the napkins while my guests were sitting there- looked VERY unprofessional), one of my guests received a “welcome bag” from the other wedding that was happening the same day as mine, I asked housekeeping to be at my room around 8:30 to clean my room the day of my weeding (for picture purposes), they didn’t show so I had to call again & they didn’t get there until 8:55am & to make matters worse they “couldn’t find” the room I booked for my parents at the Westin – they also charged me for valet even though I never used valet & they charged my parents for a movie the day of my wedding (like they had time to watch a movie). WORST service especially for how much you have to pay! Worst of all, my husband’s grandfather fell in the shower while we were taking pictures before the wedding & I almost slipped myself so be very careful!!!!!!

The Hilton Head Westin Hotel in June is not a place to have a wedding, unless you want to share your special day with throngs of strangers. My daughter's wedding there on June 23, 2012, was very impersonal and basically a madhouse. While the event planner was wonderfully supportive up to the day of the wedding, we were very disappointed at the lack of service. There were a lot of things that went wrong. Here's a few: We were told the wedding party would get cocktails after the photo session, but even though I requested it during the cocktail hour, it never happened. The reception was in the ballroom, a very large impersonal corporate looking room. We were showing a couple of videos the bride's sister made and the screen was so small that very few could see it (we were promised that it was large and it was not). The cake was kept in the corner along the side of the enormous room where the cake cutting was done later in the evening with the bride and groom (rather than be visible throughout the evening and brought into the middle of the dance floor for the cake cutting as it is supposed to be), so very few people ever saw the $800 cake.
Before the ceremony, when the bride did not want the groom to see her yet, the pictures of the wedding party were done outside the bridal suite in the hallway!! Why, I thought, doesn't the Westin usher the wedding party to some picturesque location outside before the ceremony (the grounds are certainly large enough). Even after the ceremony, the family pictures were all done facing the crowded pool (without palm trees in the back). While this may have been the fault of the photographer, I should think the Westin would have preset photographic settings available.
If you want your wedding day to be special for you and your friends and family, don't have it at the Westin, certainly not in June when there is full occupancy. -

The venue was absolutely gorgeous and we were very happy with some things including the venue and food. The coordination of the event prior to and on our wedding day along with additional costs for every little thing were a huge disappointment for us. We expected better from the Westin. -

The Westin seems good on the surface....and they do have some good people, especially the catering manager, who we worked with beforehand....BUT, under the hood, things are bad. The actual staff was rude, multiple members of my guest party complained of several issues...it seems if you do anything outside their narrow box, they can not handle it and push back...from registration that is horrible and takes forever because they seem incompetent, to the food and beverage staff who act as if they are doing you a favor by being there... to how they charge money with NO EXPLANATION, for instance I had a $10,000 charge hit my card the night of the wedding....for no reason, i owned nothing...this hold on my card caused me huge issues, including my villa rental to be declined on my card...embarrassing to say the least. I got married during Tropical Storm Bonnie...so I was dealing with that mess, which was obviously stressful...so I did not get all I paid for, due to the weather - BUT, the Westin has still yet to care about that or act like they understand...THe bar was not as contracted for...the venue was not as contracted for... and I have still, nearly 3 weeks later, not received ANYTHING from the Westin -

The Hilton Head Westin Hotel in June is not a place to have a wedding, unless you want to share your special day with throngs of gawking strangers. My daughter's wedding there on June 23, 2012, was very impersonal and basically a madhouse. While the wedding coordinator was wonderfully supportive up to the day of the wedding, we were very disappointed at the lack of service. For starters, we wanted to give out specially made monogrammed sunglasses as guests walked out of the ceremony that was by the pool. They were given to the Westin wedding coordinator but never found again till the next morning. Additionally, we were told that the wedding party would get cocktails after the photo session, but even though I personally requested they be given food during the cocktail hour, it never happened. The reception was in the ballroom, a very large impersonal corporate looking room. We were showing a couple of videos the bride's sister made and the screen was so small that very few could see it (we were promised that it was large and it was not). The cake was kept in the corner along the side of the enormous room where the cake cutting was done later in the evening with the bride and groom (rather than be visible throughout the evening and brought into the middle of the dance floor for the cake cutting as it is supposed to be), so very few people ever saw the $900 cake. We stayed at the Westin Villas. The groom’s wallet containing $300 and his personal ID was stolen off the cocktail table.
If you want your wedding day to be special for you, your friends, and family, don't have it at the Westin, certainly not in June when there is full occupancy. It was a tremendous disappointment.
