Westin Columbus

Is easily one of the most beautiful places in columbus to hold a reception. The ballroom is so beautiful, you don't have to spend more time or money adding anything to it. Service was exceptional. All my friends are still talking about my wedding that we held back in November.

We fell in love with the place the minute that we walked into the ballroom. Its just so beautiful! Craig was wonderful too - very professional and helpful. Food was good and service was too. Its 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

We booked The Westin for our reception because we fell in the love with the elegance of the ballroom and desired an exceptional level of service that we knew The Westin could provide. We worked with Michael who was so accommodating and helpful. The day of the wedding, the service was impeccable, the food was delicious and everything went smoothly. The Westin has truly mastered the art of the wedding reception!

Craig was our wedding planner and he did a fantastic job. Our guests raved about the reception for days! The grand ballroom was beautiful and the staff made our evening enjoyable and easy. The wait staff were very attentive and professional. We had to do nothing! So relaxing and they did everything right. We served a plated meal, and Chef Novak made sure to give us exactly what we asked for, fabulous food! The catered to our every need, and the cost was less than we had expected. Great venue!

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.

I worked with Craig who was so fabulous and easy to work with. He was incredibly responsive, and made me totally confident that our reception would be seamless - and it was! The ballroom was beautiful and my out-of-town guests commented that they had never seen a site so lovely. The staff was incredibly courteous and the whole night was just perfect!

Several of my guests stayed here while in town for our wedding and had a lot of great things to report and they are dog friendly. :)

This was our most important vendor for our wedding. I was blown away by their service and professionalism. The Westin exceeded all of our expectations and I can not speak highly enough of them. Our contact, Michael, was quick to reply to emails and voicemails and always had answers to my questions. Our roomblock was also through the hotel and the my guests that stayed over were amazed with the fantastic rooms. They were willing to work with our budget and help us make our wedding a unique experience. I am so happy we chose the Westin and I would recommend them to anyone.

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.

Working with the team at the Westin was a dream. The staff was very friendly and knowledgable. 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 impecable. The service staff were very kind to all of our guests. Great value for the dollar.

We had my daughter's recent wedding reception here. The ballroom is stunning, and Craig was extremely helpful and responsive. You can't find a more elegant venue. You will not need a wedding planner if you have your reception here. However, please know that this is an expensive location, and you will most likely wish to rent chairs, linens, use their audio equipment, make your own table numbers, etc, all which add to your costs, so factor these in. But everyone loved it, the food was good and plentiful, and the execution seamless! The outer area works great for the cocktail hour before your reception begins.

The Westin was amazing. We worked with Michael and I probably emailed him every day with a question and he got back with me quickly every time and also made time for me throughout the whole process to meet with me and go over things. The staff was wonderful. We held our rehearsal dinner there as well and after the weekend I felt like I personally knew the staff. The rooms we wonderful and all my guests had such a wonderful time. After the wedding we got tons of comments about how great everything was from the ballroom to the food and even the staff.

I had my wedding block at the Westin, and I was very happy with everything. My husband and I already love the Westin, because of their big cushy beds (well that's more me) and because they are dog-friendly and do not charge you any deposits or fees for it. As we got closer to our wedding weekend, many of my guests found that there were promotions online that wer offering slightly lower prices than our wedding block, but the Westin, while not being able to change our agreed-to price, did manually add to our wedding block all our guests who booked their rooms online, or directly through the hotel using AAA or other discounts. This way they still got booked together and got their OOT welcome bags. They also allowed my husband and his groomsmen to use an unused conference room to get ready on the day of the wedding.

Also, I was able to negotiate my wedding block price with them, so please be aware that you can do this too!

The only reason I docked them .5 on Flexibility was because we originally looked into the Westin for our wedding reception (their ballroom is AMAZING), but they have a food/beverage minimum that they would not budge on. We had to have a kosher wedding, and they would have allowed us to bring in our own outside caterer for that, but they would still charge us the standard food/beverage minimum on top of that, which would have been outrageous for us. But the room was already booked on our preferred date (1.5 years out!) so I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Beautiful venue, amazing food, excellent service! Would definitely recommend this venue. There were some small kinks In the planning phases, but everything worked out perfectly.

We hosted our wedding reception at the Westin, and many of our guests also spent the night. The reception was beautiful - Micheal seems to have a knack at carrying out the bride's vision and handling all of the last minute details quietly and professionally. I am an event planner, and have seen MANY hotel ballrooms - the Westin certainly has something different to offer than any other hotel in the city! The guest rooms are nice too - some are small, but that is to be expected with an older/historic property.

We worked with Michael and he was wonderful! He made the whole process very easy for us, and always responded to our questions right away. The service was amazing, and the reception was just beautiful. We also had our guests stay at the Westin, and many of our guests compliments the hotel. This is the third event my family has had at the Westin, and I would recommend it to anyone!

The Westin was a wonderful location to host my November wedding reception. Of all the locations around Columbus that I have seen I believe the Westin has the most beautiful ballroom of all. The staff went above and beyond my expectations and the food was absolutely wonderful. You can't go wrong having your wedding at the Westin Columbus!
