We held my daughter's wedding reception at The Westin Sarasota on October 21, 2017. Her original wedding venue canceled on us twelve days before the wedding, and Alexandra Settlemy...er and the Westin staff came to our rescue! Everyone went over and above to make my daughter's wedding day extra special. Bryan Niemcewicz, the Banquet Manager made sure the banquet room was set up perfectly for the reception. Suraj Lama, our Banquet Captain, made sure the entire night ran smoothly, and Craig MacAvoy, the Executive Chef, created a meal that all our guests agree was delicious! The reception ran smoothly with plenty of servers taking care of everyone's needs. They were all friendly and very accommodating. Not only was the reception amazing, the staff treated all our guests like royalty. We had 20 rooms blocked for the wedding and heard only positive comments from all. The rooms are beautiful. Our room had an amazing view of the ocean! The bride and groom were treated like royalty during their stay in the Presidential Suite! After the reception, all our guests were able to enjoy the amazing views from the Rooftop Bar. The Westin Sarasota was an amazing wedding venue, and I highly recommend this hotel to others.
