Exceptional Experience with Evgeniia at The Westin Jersey City!
My wife and I recently held our wedding at The Westin Jersey City, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience, especially thanks to the incredible support we received from Evgeniia, the Senior Catering Sales Executive. We had several key events, including our mendhi, haldi, sangeet, and brunch, all at the hotel, and had a large number of family and friends staying on-site. From the very beginning, Evgeniia went above and beyond to ensure every detail was handled seamlessly. When we initially hit a snag with our room block needing to be expanded, she worked tirelessly with management to secure the additional reservations we needed, eliminating the stress we felt when we thought we were out of luck. Her responsiveness, organization, and commitment to making sure our needs were met made a world of difference.
Throughout the process, we made multiple changes to our schedule, room reservations, and event requirements, and every single time, Evgeniia handled them with grace and precision. She was always quick to address any concerns we had, no matter how small, and consistently went the extra mile to resolve any issues before they could escalate. A personal touch that meant the world to us was the handwritten notes and treats she left in our rooms upon arrival—it was clear that she truly cared about making our wedding special. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the venue and how smoothly everything was organized, and we know Evgeniia played a huge role in making that happen. Anyone fortunate enough to work with her at The Westin Jersey City is in excellent hands. We highly recommend her exceptional services!

The Westin was one of the hotels we blocked out rooms for our wedding. My husband and I, along with our immediate family, ended up staying here and my mom booked one of the banquet rooms for the send-off brunch. They were pretty responsive during the planning process, sending updates on the block. My husband and I booked a suite, which was actually one large room with a sitting area, but it worked well as a space for the bridal party and everyone else who trooped in to sit and chat while the party was getting hair and makeup done. The Westin delivered our welcome bags to our guests rooms after they checked in for a few dollars per room, and they let us use the driveway for our shuttle transportation to and from the wedding, which was great. They also surprised us the night of the wedding with a bottle of champagne and strawberries and dipping chocolate. We were able to request a late check out as well, so we were able to take time with our family and guests the day after the wedding.

can go on and on and on about how amazing the Westin is. My guests and I stayed at this hotel for my wedding in August. I'll start with just how beautiful the hotel itself is. The views of Manhattan are impeccable, the rooms are spacious and clean, the decor is modern and fun, and prices were very reasonable! I stayed in the Presidential Suite for my wedding, where I got ready with my best friends. What an amazing experience this was! As I said the views are fantastic and the suite is HUGE and beautiful. All the guests that stayed at the Westin for our hotel kept complimenting how lovely it was.
Aside from the awesome decor and rooms at the hotel, what stands out even more is the staff. They are truly truly truly incredible!! I cannot emphasize this enough. I had been working with Izabela all year on the hotel block for our wedding in August. Having never met her, she was so accommodating and pleasant to work with, always finding a way to add more rooms as time went on when we needed. However; the real testament to how lovely and amazing the staff is came the day before our wedding, when my husband and I found out that the venue we were supposed to get married at (Battello, which is located directly across the street from the Westin), was shutting down, effective immediately. As you can imagine, this was a HUGE shock and nightmare to say the least. Izabela and her colleague Eddie, heard this information through a third party and literally came running to our rescue. They ran across the street to Battello (where me and my husband were) when they heard the news and from that moment on, they did not stop helping us until our situation was figured out. They chauffeured us throughout Hoboken trying to find us another venue to get married out. I kid you not! They are truly amazing people and our wedding would not have happened if it wasn't for their help. Everyone back at the Westin was just as sweet, only wanting the best for my husband and I, and doing anything they could to make us feel better!! I feel as if we gained friends that weekend!
The wedding did wind up happening :) We had our after party at Fire & Oak, the restaurant in the Westin which had great food and drinks, all at a reasonable cost. We also hosted a brunch for our guests there the next morning which was just as delicious. I cannot say enough great things about the Westin and its staff. If you are in the area, I most definitely recommend staying there!

The Westin was a great choice for rooms for us and for our wedding party. The hotel is beautiful, very clean and comfortable, and also very accommodating. The views are amazing; we were in one of the suites and loved the view. The suites were big enough for the wedding party and the photographer in the morning, which was very helpful.

There are a lot of options in Jersey City and we chose the Westin. We had two junior suites for the bridal party to get ready and for the wedding night. After the bridal party left - they did not clean, they left room service food AND they brought a bottle of champagne up and left all the doors propped on the door jams - i.e. everything was wide open for hours. When we got back to the room after the wedding - we asked them to come up and clean while we went to the after party (which by the way was excellent in the lobby bar) they ignored us. Would not recommend.

The Westin was a beautiful venue for our Indian wedding. They have a nice outdoor space across the street by the marina for the baraat to start. Many of the other hotel venues in the region that we checked out had ugly carpets and out of date interior styling, but the Westin Newport is very modern and well-designed. The grand ballroom where we held the ceremony and the reception is a beautiful room with high ceilings. The guest rooms and suites are very spacious with luxurious beds and the room rate we got for our wedding guests was very reasonable.
However what stood out the most about the Westin Newport was the quality of the service. We worked with Elizabeth who was incredibly helpful with all of our planning. She worked with us to get every detail we wanted for our wedding including several last minute changes and additions while still keeping our budget in mind. She responded reliably to emails and messages in a very timely manner and was always pleasant and managed to seem relaxed. On the day of the wedding she coordinated all our vendors seamlessly so that everything was set up and arranged exactly as we wanted it and right on time. The additional staff that worked with us that day including the service staff was consistently very professional as well. Overall we and all of our guests had a wonderful experience and a great stay at the Westin Newport.

We used the Westin JC Newport for a Friday night wedding at the end of April. The hotel is very clean, with the sophisticated urban feel that we wanted. The rooms are very new and modern -- the ones that face NYC have breathtaking views. Our sales manager Elizabeth was consistently prompt with answering emails and questions, but there were a few issues along the way.
The website didn't work very well, which meant that we constantly had to keep checking on our guests' reservations to make sure they got the room type they wanted. Also, there was a large disparity in the room block rates, so beware.
They are a busy hotel, catering to business commuters during the week, and weddings and parties on the weekends, so we did have some problems with the rooms not being ready when our guests arrived. By staying on top of them, we were able to avoid any major disasters on that front.
Overall, we were happy with the hotel itself, but for the price and all of the fees/extra costs, it's worth considering all of the options in the area -- you may get slightly better service elsewhere.

Of all our vendors, we had the most trouble with westin and our wedding block. It still blows our mind what was so complicated but time after time we had issues with them.
That said, the hotel is nice.

My husband & I cannot thank Elizabeth Stacey of The Westin in Jersey City enough for making our entire Westin Wedding Weekend exceed all our expectations! Our December 17, 2011 wedding at The Westin was perfect in every way, every detail and every moment. Elizabeth was invaluable to help with all the little details that existed and went above the call of duty on the day of our wedding! We were able to relax, enjoy and embrace our wedding day. Our family & friends can’t stop talking about it and how fabulous our wedding was and we have Elizabeth Stacey to thank for that!
Elizabeth Stacey helped to create and make our wedding visions and dreams come true! Elizabeth was the 3 P’s: professional, prompt and personable. In addition, she was sweet, organized, accessible and responsive. She was more than happy to meet with us on several occasions to go over the details, to do a walk-thru at the site, and to meet/talk with our vendors. She was always a phone call away and ready with a knowledgeable answer. Elizabeth promptly answered every question, calmed our every concern and listened to our every vision and request. Elizabeth was there for us every step of the way and for the entire wedding day and night coordinating to handle the small emergencies that will inevitably arise. She was always ready and willing to do so many of the little things we forgot or couldn’t get done like setting up our lollipop table card display, setting out all our DIY signs and frames and creating our awesome Hot Chocolate Bar. She was probably responsible for countless other things that we don't even know about.
The feeling of showing up for a wedding and having it go incredibly smoothly is wondrous and a relief. Everything from the setting, the food to the cake and every last detail was nothing but perfection. Our wedding was everything we imagined and SOOOOO much more. We are about 4 weeks out from our wedding and we still smile when we reflect on it. When we look through our wedding photos we smile and say, “Thank goodness for Elizabeth!” Elizabeth Stacey was amazing to work with and helped us to bring a truly memorable day to life. She's a coordinator that knows how to get things done and how get them done PERFECTLY. Elizabeth combines the calmness, organization and knowledge you need during the stress-filled planning and preparation period, and the focus, composure, and professionalism to make the event happen. We honestly had about as problem-free of a wedding one could imagine, and a lot of that was due to Elizabeth Stacey.

We held our September wedding at The Westin in Newport Jersey City. Our wedding coordinator Elizabeth was amazing throughout the entire process. She made sure everything went smoothly including dealing with all our vendors. The Newport ballroom is gorgeous and the balcony area includes outside space and views of the Manhattan skyline.
The food at The Westin is amazing! Our guests raved about our cocktail hour - they said the sliders were unbelievable - and the dinner was outstanding as well!
In terms of services, Elizabeth's team are total professionals. Both the bride and the groom had their own attendant's all night and any issues were attended to immediately. Elizabeth even took care of an issue that came up with the favors that wasn't even her responsibility.
Overall, we were thrilled with everything about The Westin. Service is so important when considering everything that goes on during a wedding and Elizabeth and The Westin are in a class by themselves!
