I was very pleased with this venue, we worked with Erin and he was very accommodating with all my ideas I wanted. The room was very big witch was a huge plus for me since my 119 guests were seated comfortably. I was able to have entertainment for the kids with a balloon twister and face painter and they had plenty of room to work and kids had room to run around and play. The captain was Nigel and he was very good and the wait staff was very helpful too!

The food was very good which is obviously a huge plus for anyone. I would give 5 stars but the room was not ready until a little bit after 4 pm when my party was suppose to start. I would recommend to get there on time or have someone spot check that what instructions you left for your decor and/or favors.

This is a fantastic place! Forget about flying your guests to a French chateau for your wedding. As you can see our photos, the ambiance is very charming and welcoming. Maitre d' - Betty and her staff are extremely efficient, polite, and friendly. The magnificent venue and the service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. Amazing beverage, food, and service. When we think about creating lasting memories, "The Westwood" never disappoints. Highly recommend!
