Wedding Testimonials at The Westin Columbus
-I would have to agree with Buckeye Bride. We fell in love with the place the minute we walked into the ballroom. When we scheduled the rest of our vendors, everyone was happy that they were dealing with the Westin. Craig was great and the day went perfectly.
-We fell in love with the place the minute that we walked into the ballroom. It’s just so beautiful! Craig was wonderful too - very professional and helpful. Food was good and service was too. It’s not the cheapest place in town to be sure.... but it was SO WONDERFUL!!!!
-Craig and his staff were wonderful. Not a single complaint. And the room is gorgeous.
-Working with the team at the Westin was a dream. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They provided us with great flexibility regarding the menu and set-up. Craig and his staff provided many suggestions to us with regards to the menu, other vendors and seating arrangements. The service provided on our wedding day was impeccable. The service staff were very kind to all of our guests. Great value for the dollar. We stayed at the Westin for our wedding night and loved it. The staff and rooms were great. When I called in February to ask about early check-in because our ceremony was scheduled to start at 4:30 (check-in is 3:00), they asked me to check back with them the day before I was due to arrive. In all of the hustle and bustle I forgot to do so. However, the hotel had upgraded us to a large suite and had champagne and strawberries along with a card signed by the staff (free of charge). We wouldn't hesitate to return to the Westin.
-Overall, we had a great experience with the Westin. They were very accomodating as far as special requests (e.g., Great Lakes Christmas Ale!), and basically let us make up our own dinner when we didn't find one on their menu that met all of the criteria of the 4 people making the decision. We also got to stay in the Presidential Suite at a significantly reduced rate the night before and night of our wedding, which was HUGE and perfect for getting ready with 6 bridesmaids and 3 hair and makeup people. Guests commented on how friendly and helpful all the staff were and most had only positive things to say about the food. One friend had an allergic reaction to pinenuts in the salad, and a member of the staff went to the pharmacy and bought her some benadryl! Also, the room is gorgeous and the ceremony in the Grand Ballroom could not have been more beautiful.
