We had our wedding reception at the Westin Downtown Milwaukee. Amanda Gildner and the banquet team truly go above and beyond to beautifully execute the details of your wedding. It ...
wasn’t just a generic hotel reception. It started with a detailed tour that helped us envision our day. That was followed by a tasting for the dinner menu and more emails than we can count covering every last detail of the day. Amanda takes what can sometimes feel like a daunting task and makes it feel approachable. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness made our wedding weekend so relaxed and special. One little detail to highlight this is including bringing our gifts up to our room post-reception!
But it wasn’t just Amanda who made our day. From Abe in the banquet staff who demonstrated true passion in his craft to Maddie and the rest of the front desk reception staff who always had an answer and amazing attitudes to boot, we can not speak more highly of the people who make the Westin a truly world-class establishment. We are so grateful that the Westin was able to make our wedding shine. So if you are looking for a host for your event or wedding, please consider the Westin and best-in-class service they provide.
