We rented the Westside inn for our wedding weekend and we could not have picked a better spot! The sunsets are unbelievable there and the yard is perfect for an outdoor wedding. We had around 135 attend and it was perfect. Susan, the owner was so helpful every step of the way! Couldn’t recommend the Westside inn enough! -

Choosing Westside Inn as our wedding venue was easily one of the best decisions we made for our special day. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free, thanks to the incredible team at Westside Inn.
Having both the ceremony and reception at the same venue was a game-changer. It not only simplified logistics but also allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the moment without worrying about transportation or coordinating multiple locations. The convenience factor alone made our wedding day infinitely more enjoyable.
Communication with the venue staff was impeccable, earning them a well-deserved 5-star rating. From our initial inquiry to the final details, they were responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Any questions or concerns we had were promptly addressed, putting our minds at ease every step of the way.
One of the highlights of our experience was the pre-wedding tour of all the amenities. Walking through the venue beforehand not only gave us a clear picture of what to expect but also alleviated any lingering worries about the small details. The attention to detail and the care they put into every aspect of our wedding surpassed our expectations.
Overall, Westside Inn provided us with the perfect backdrop for our special day. With its seamless coordination, top-notch communication, and attention to detail, it truly exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a stress-free wedding experience with exceptional service, look no further than Westside Inn. We couldn't recommend it highly enough. -

Stunning Venue!
This venue is truly so special and I can't recommend it enough! You will not find a venue this beautiful, private and affordable anywhere else in the OBX. It is truly STUNNING! We had our dream wedding here and you should too!!
I was really worried it would be too hot to have an outdoor wedding in August but the breeze off the water was incredible and it did not feel too hot at all!
They do have some wedding necessities available for use- about 100 white folding chairs, round tables & a few rectangular tables for food, bar etc. Be sure to factor pricing in for tent/dance floor/portable restrooms- but that is pretty much the case for any backyard venue! -

Susan was an amazing host and the Westside Inn could not have been more perfect for our wedding day. The house itself is such a gorgeous place to stay and relax before your big day. We stayed for four nights and had an extra day after our wedding to clean up! This is a perfect place for a DIY wedding, but just as easy to make it exactly how you want it using the rental companies nearby. I would 100% recommend this spot to those looking for a spot to get married in the Outer Banks. Being on the water was so picturesque and perfect, plus having the house with all of our belongings in it was so helpful.
Susan has tables, chairs, and other fun decorations ready to go in the garage. We found it so easy to set up and break down for a wedding of 130. All of the vendors we used (catering, bathroom rental, and DJ) knew of the space already and knew exactly how to set up and where to be for the wedding.
Please consider this space! We had the best four days of our lives there and we hope to revisit the Westside Inn in our future! -

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! -

Our wedding turned out to be an absolute dream come true. This all started with finding the perfect spot to exchange our vows. We were looking for a private place on the Sound to get married with close family and friends (50 guest). From the moment we found this place on Wedding Wire, we were hooked. We immediately called the number on the website and reached Susan the owner who was extremely friendly and accommodating for our wedding wishes. We were able to tour the venue on our vacation a few months prior to the wedding and absolutely fell in love with the coziness and charm of the home. Not only was the home a perfect place to house our immediate families and our 15-year-old Shih-Tzu; the yard and views of the sound with the small beach were simply breathtaking. We stayed a whole week Monday-Monday and had the wedding on Saturday. This gave us plenty of time to relax, setup and clean up before leaving. It was so convenient to stay at the place we got married, we literally got ready and walked out the door to get married. Before the wedding we enjoyed sitting by the water watching the most amazing sunsets each evening, laying out, fishing and floating in the sound. Weddings can be extremely stressful but due to the ease of the venue and our wonderful vendors, this process was pretty simple and straightforward. The cost of the venue and event fee were also very reasonable and came with tables/chairs. This was one less vendor that we had to book. If you are looking for a private, intimate, sound front wedding this is definitely a place you should tour! We will be back to vacation and reminisce on our perfect day! Thank you so much Westside Inn family for sharing your home with us and our families! -

Extremely satisfied!!!!
I married my best friend on August 27, 2022 at West Side Inn and we are still daydreaming about the beautiful day and week spent at this gem location. You will feel so incredibly grounded and immersed in a state of calm staying at the West Side Inn. The beach access is pure magic. We felt pure love on our day because of the wonderful energy felt in this home and on the grounds. Susan and her family are wonderful to work with and we felt nothing but supported with warmth in the planning process. If you are looking for a dream venue where you can feel inner peace on your special day, look no further, this is it. We will certainly be back for future anniversaries and family vacations. -

Once we saw thus venue we knew it was the one. The owner was super responsive with any questions we had and the renting process was easy. Having charis/tables and other accessories available for our use made the icing on the cake. -

Groom, communication was easy. Use of all the amenities was a breeze. Susan, Brandi and Colin couldn’t have been any more helpful. Amazing vendors.
What a amazing venue! The property was pristine, the style and decor of the home is warm and welcoming. This was just perfect for our wedding. All of the guests were amazed by the view! We would love to return for an extended stay. Thank you to all that made this possible. -

My Husband and I got married at WestSide inn on October 2nd, 2021. Everything about this venue is amazing! I stayed here with my family a few days beforehand and we all got to set up together and enjoy the view before the big day. All the guests couldn’t stop raving about the views and how secluded the house is. If you are looking for a destination wedding, WestSide inn is the place to go. The owner Susan answered any questions or concerns I had. I couldn’t have asked for a better day or venue! -

Fantastic Venue!!!
I don’t have enough space here to say all of the things I want to say about this gorgeous venue! The home is spacious and can hold many people, the grounds are stunning and the owners are very hands on as they care about your experience and stay while at the home. They provide many items for the wedding which is so helpful and even met us at the venue the day of the wedding to make sure we didn’t any issues or questions. We are still on cloud nine as our daughters wedding was just a week ago. The evening brought the most beautiful sunset sky we could have ever wished for! The entire day was everything we ever hoped for and to witness our girl marry her soulmate was just the icing on the cake! Thank you to Susan Coleman and her husband for allowing us the opportunity to have the wedding at their place. It will forever be an unforgettable memory in our minds! ♥️💕♥️ -

From the view to the people, this home has it all. It is private, peaceful, and has some of the most beautiful views on the sound. We got married here in May 2021, and loved every moment of our day. It is privately owned, and the family is so wonderful. They are local to Manteo, and are there for your every need. There are a lot of options for rentals in the area, but the venue also has options on-site. I have worked in the wedding industry previously, and can say with confidence that this venue is a catch. You can’t go wrong booking this home as a venue for an event, or to simply staying the night. It is like having a home away from home. We will most certainly return. -

Westside Inn
We took advantage of this beautiful location as the backdrop for our wedding. Kees (who currently handles the reservations) was easy to work with but the owner is probably THE BEST part about this experience! She was so responsive and attentive each time I contacted her. We had plenty of room inside to house the wedding party that traveled from out of town and also the space we needed to prepare for the big day. Amenities for the event included chairs, tables, lights, barrels, etc. Really beautiful, very affordable, and awesome hospitality! -

Becca D. Sent on 04/21/2021A DREAMY location for my wedding!
I booked the Westside Inn for my April 2021 wedding weekend! It was the perfect location for my bridesmaid to stay. I had my rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and my wedding ceremony here. It was the perfect backyard as it is HUGE and overlooks the sound. Me and my guests could not get over the views. There was an incredible sunset during my rehearsal dinner!
Because I got married in April I opted to book an indoor reception elsewhere - wasn't sure how the temps or weather would be! But if I got married in the summer or fall it would have been gorgeous to do a tented wedding as there is PLENTY of space!
What made this location great to me were a few things:
1. It is absolutely gorgeous. I cannot stress this enough!!!
2. There are lots of amenities onsite: tables, chairs, an arbor, barrels, string lights...etc. I didn't need to rent a thing for my rehearsal dinner or wedding ceremony! That was really important to me
3. Susan is amazing to work with. Quick and thorough responses and even allowed me to do an onsite grounds visit when I was in town.
4. This venue has a property manager that lives in Manteo. She was able to meet me in person when I checked in to personally give me the lowdown on the property and event materials that are stored in the garage. This was especially helpful because the manager had her wedding in site in 2020!! She had lots of good tips and answered all of my questions
5. There is a room just for hair and makeup - with a large mirror and a salon chair. This was perfect for me and my bridesmaids to have our hair and makeup done on site!
6. Plenty of space for parking. This was important to to me as I am an event planner....parking can make or break a place!
7. The property is so gorgeous that I 98% of our wedding photos on site. There were so many beautiful options! This made the day flow so easily since our only location change was after the ceremony to the reception!
I booked this place solely for the beautiful backyard, and it exceeded my expectations. Every person I worked with was helpful, and the whole process was simple and stress free. I will note that the house is a bit dated but I thought it was cute and quaint. It is exactly as the pictures convey so no surprises there. It didn't matter to me since most wedding things were in the backyard!
All in all, could not recommend this place more!! -

Westside Inn was absolutely stunning. I do not think I could have picked a more perfect venue. The backyard was beautiful! The rooms were spacious and the outside porch that was screened in was perfect to watch the sunrise and enjoy a cup of coffee. I would pick this place over and over again for my wedding. -

Kenny C. Sent on 10/31/2020Magical Sound Front Venue!
It seemed everything was against us. 45 days out, our original venue cancelled on us. Everything happens for a reason!! We found Westside Inn online and somehow, someway, it was open the weekend of the wedding. We booked it site unseen. Little did we know at that time how magnificent this home site would be! Perfect setting that provided lodging for the entire wedding party and a sound front that was large enough for the wedding ceremony AND a 30x60 tent for the reception! Tip: Request clear sides for the tent! You don't want to have anything blocking the beautiful sunset! The owners are awesome and they were extremely helpful as we approached the big day. We're Manteo residents and will definitely be booking this house for future family gatherings. To the owners, THANK YOU for allowing us to make some incredible memories at the house we know you cherish. Our prayers were answered when we found this venue!! -

Susan was great to work with from the very moment that we contacted her. The house and grounds are lovely with a beautiful view of the sound. The split level design of the house makes it perfect for blended families to stay in one location. The bride and groom were able to include their dog, Hallie in the ceremony. -
