Reviews for The Westin Alexandria
We booked it before it opened and got a great deal. The venue is gorgeous, with high ceilings, a pretty staircase, nice lighting and a simple/modern feel. The chairs and flatware they provide are really pretty (in case you care about this type of detail). When we walked into the reception hall the day of and saw it all decorated, I got so emotional because it was truly perfect!!! And Sandy, the coordinator is amazing. She is super organized, and on top of that genuinely cares and is excited about your event. All the little details we discussed (putting out favors, coordinating the flowers/cake/DJ, timing of dinner and dancing, etc) were perfect the day of. We didn’t even need to hire a day-of wedding coordinator because Sandy had it all covered. Also, the food was delicious. People were commenting on how good it was all night and after the wedding!!!!!
Honeymoon night: The rooms are simple and nice. We stayed in the “executive suite” which was a larger room. There were chocolate covered strawberries waiting for us in the room after the reception which was a nice touch!
