Our wedding weekend at The Westin in Hilton Head was absolutely perfect! The hotel could not be more beautiful and was the perfect place to have our welcome party and wedding ceremony/reception. It rained at the very beginning of our welcome party and the venue management and staff was so calming and helpful making sure everything worked out! The venue looked stunning and our guests raved about the food for both events. Sonja was incredibly responsive throughout the entire planning process and made sure our vision came to life beautifully. The Westin will forever hold such a special place in our hearts!

Absolutely perfect venue!! Our guests loved the resort and made an entire weekend out of the wedding. Food was incredible (people are still talking about the shrimp and grits and the mini chicken & waffle). Staff was amazing and made us and our guests feel so special.

We had our wedding at the Westin on Labor Day Weekend and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue! We had events throughout the weekend including welcome dinner at the Koi Pond, ceremony and cocktail hour on the Ocean Front Deck, reception at the Grand Ocean Terrance and the next day rented the Cabana Deck for a pool day for our guests. The whole weekend was excellent! We had great service, unbelievable food and such a gorgeous location! Our guests loved their experience and as the bride and groom we thought the whole weekend was seamless! Would definitely recommend The Westin for a destination wedding weekend!

We had our wedding farewell brunch in the Ocean Terrace room at the Westin and it was beautiful. Marianna from the Westin team was prompt and great to work with as we planned our brunch spread. I was able to customize the menu to exactly what we were looking for! The French toast addition to the buffet was a fan favorite, as was the omelet station.

The guests loved the food and the amazing ocean front views. The staff working the morning of the brunch were kind, patient, and helpful. Overall it was a lovely ending to our perfect wedding weekend.

The Westin in Hilton Head is a fabulous venue. Sonja and Raquel were great to deal with and are very accommodating. The Grand Ocean Terrace is spectacular. We had a Friday night wedding welcome party and a Sunday brunch and both events, with ocean views, were beautiful. Highly recommended.

The Westin is the perfect wedding venue on Hilton Head. We loved having cocktail hour on the Oceanfront deck and the reception in the Grand Ocean Terrace - our guests keep talking about how memorable the venue was. We were also very happy with the food - the chefs worked with us on our menu as we wanted to incorporate some Jamaican dishes for our families and it turned out delicious. The team (especially our event planner Marianna) at the Westin was wonderful and responsive and wanted to ensure that we had the most perfect day. We had a great experience at the Westin and highly recommend the venue for your wedding!

I highly recommend The Westin for your HHI wedding. From the venue tour, to the food tasting, to planning, to the end of the night, everything was great. It is a beautiful venue. Heather was fantastic and always willing to help with our questions. Everyone loved the food. One friend even said it was the best wedding food they have ever had. It was an incredible night and we wish we could relive it all over!

I had my wedding June 3rd of this year. It was a destination wedding for us and it was the best most beautiful wedding i could have ever dreamed of. The Westin paired with Beth Baldwin Weddings is 100% the way to go. I loved every minute and Heather was THE BEST.

I saw the Westin’s Grand Ocean terrace online when researching wedding reception venues in HHI, and I immediately fell in love! It was my dream wedding location and the most beautiful venue I’d seen. We had our rehearsal dinner and welcome party in the Mitchelville Gazebo room which has an outdoor deck with views of the resort for guests that wanted to get some fresh air. The cocktail hour was on the Oceanfront deck which is surrounded by tall palm trees and a direct view of the ocean, and our reception was in the Grand Ocean Terrace which has huge, floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Ocean that can be opened to allow the ocean breeze inside. The Westin was so accommodating and very responsive. The staff members were so patient with our many questions and numerous emails back and forth. They were willing to customize anything for us, from the drink menu to the main dishes served. And not only was the venue PERFECT, but the FOOD was just as amazing! I had so many guests raving about the food—from the appetizers, to the main dish, to the dessert and even to the late night chicken fingers and tots! Everything was perfect! I wish I could do it all over again!

It’s hard to put into words how perfect this venue was for my daughter’s wedding weekend. From the first point of contact, our experience was exceptional. We were looking for an upscale venue that would accommodate a 3 day wedding weekend without leaving the property, and we hit the jackpot. The Westin/Marriott property was the most beautiful one we’d previewed and they had us at Hello. The grounds were flawless and landscaped beautifully. We were very impressed with the length of time their staff had been employed. It was evident by the service given. Heather and Hanna were very personable, communicative, flexible and true to their word with delivering. They referred excellent vendors to work with which made for the perfect team. We busted our budget a bit, however it was worth every penny and all guests commented on the excellent wedding food menu. They offered multiple spaces included shaded seating areas, outdoor ping pong and cornhole, sand volleyball, covered cabanas with tvs and fridge, and a beautiful spa that accommodated our entire wedding party. Would 100% recommend!

The staff was beyond helpful and they made my daughter’s wedding a memorable event. From Hannah and Daphne booking the event to Marianna who handled the planning of my daughter’s wedding, they were always there to answer all of my questions and concerns. My daughter’s wedding was just perfect! Thank you to all your staff for making our venue a memorable day!!!!

Hilton Head was a destination wedding for us. The moment the doors opened to the Grand Ocean Terrace, I knew it was the venue for us. The venue is gorgeous, the ocean front deck was gorgeous (even in 90 degree heat) and The Westin was more than accommodating to our every need. We cannot thank every person involved enough as the day was truly perfect for us! Our guests have been complimenting how gorgeous it was and how every detail was covered. It’s a 10/5 stars for us!

My husband, parents, and I toured all of the most popular wedding venues on Hilton Head Island and we all agreed that the Westin was the nicest and most beautiful venue out of all of them! The Grand Ocean Terrace is absolutely stunning and is certainly one of the most unique wedding venues our guests have ever been to! Our wedding day was truly perfect and everything from the service to the food was top notch. I can’t thank Heather Fishburn and everybody else we encountered at the Westin enough! Heather was so great to work with and we’re so grateful for all of the time and effort she put into making this the best weekend of my and my husband’s life! Heather’s 20+ years of experience in the wedding industry really showed and she and the whole Westin team are true professionals! If you’re getting married in Hilton Head, choose the Westin!

I stayed the weekend of my wedding in the Atlantic suite at the Westin. I have only positive things to say - the room was so magical getting ready in and not mention the photos looked amazing with the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the ocean. The suite was conveniently located next to all the amenities. The suite had a king bed, full kitchen and living room for all my girls to get ready in. I can’t thank the Westin enough for contributing to the best weekend of my life. Big shout out to Astrid Barth for making sure everything was special and perfect!
