Can I give 10 stars??? This venue was perfect for my son's wedding. They held both the ceremony and reception at West End, and it was wonderful from start to finish. The boys were both living away out of state so I was the point person here....
West End was wonderful in answering my questions and calming my nerves. Cy was amazing with helping me visualize everything and to calm me down. Don always made me smile!

nd I have never worked with nicer people. All of our guests were in love with the venue and stated that although they have been to receptions there in the past, they loved everything we did. If we ever have events in the future, I will use West End.

It was truly a joy being part of your special day! Congratulations on your marriage!
Perfect location for our wedding. Don couldn't not have been cooler, made it a really special night. Could not recommend it more.
We knew exactly what kind of atmosphere we wanted for our wedding and when we walked inwe automatically knew this was it. The staff is fun and friendly and helpful. The owner is relatively set in his ways of doing things but really let's you do...
what you want. Nt a lot of decorations needed and no candles required. I'd say we fit around 225 in comfortably. It is more for cocktail style dining as there aren't many tables.
The venue was unique and the people that ran it were great! There is so much entertainment just in what is lying around at the salvage. We loved it, it was perfect!
