This Venue -and its whole block- is full of elegance and European charm. Nestled amidst manicured gardens, a great pond/lake, and scenic landscapes, the setting provides a romantic backdrop for a perfect celebration. The attentive and professional staff at the Venue goes above and beyond to ensure every detail is flawlessly executed, making the whole process enjoyable. From the idyllic ceremony locations to the exquisite reception spaces, the venue offers a versatile canvas for couples to create their dream wedding. The Westlake Village Inn stands out as a quintessential choice for those seeking a sophisticated and enchanting setting to say "I do." We highly recommend! - BELLA VITA EVENTS BY DEBORAH JAMES.

The Westlake Village Inn Catering Team set the tone for an Epic Wedding. They were kind, understanding and helped me through the the process of planning my wedding. All questions, all emails and phone calls where answered in a timely manner. I am so big on customer service and they set the bar for myself, family and wedding guests. I chose the WVI for its photo opportunities, amazing food, and convenience of being able to stay the weekend with my family and wedding party. My suite was pristine and very comfortable. The food was amazing and enjoyed by everyone. My guest and family are still talking about the cuisine and how beautiful the venue was from our Memorial Weekend Wedding. I’m grateful for being able to be fully present at my wedding because every important detail was included in our package. The sound system worked well, the chairs and set up was on time and the reception was planned beautifully. Lastly I will say there were no surprises in fees or services rendered. A very huge Thank you to Dana and the Westlake Village Catering Team as well as the Hotel Hospitality Staff for working with this bride and delivery an excellent, classy, and I’ll repeat the word epic wedding. My husband and I are truly thankful that we chose this venue.

What should have been a joyful, relaxing, and lovely after-wedding brunch turned into an embarrassing, stressful, awful experience. That bad experience was made worse because Westlake Village Inn did not care. We had reserved a private buffet brunch for up to 80 people, for the day after my wedding. We created a menu with Kaylyn in the catering department, discussing how much food and coffee we should order for up to 80 people, selected tables, linens and dishes and paid in full ten days before the brunch (as required). The brunch was to be buffet style from 10:30AM - 1:30PM on the Vintage Patio. We were assured that the food would continually be replenished as needed since guests would be coming at different times. When my mom arrived early on the morning of the brunch, the servers immediately took her aside and told her that the food currently displayed was all the food we would receive - they said we could not get more food because it was a holiday weekend (Memorial Day weekend) and the other restaurants at the hotel were closed. They were firm in the fact that they absolutely could not make more food because there was no food to make. My mom was immediately shocked and horrified as the amount of food set out was clearly insufficient for 80 people, not appropriate for the "come when you want" brunch, not what we carefully planned and not what she paid for. The servers said they wanted us to know, there would not be enough food and that was it. The first guests arrived at 10:30. Approximately 15 people served themselves, got beverages and sat down to eat. One guest went up for a second cup of coffee and was rudely told there was no more coffee. The bacon, sausage, and potato trays were empty, and the juice and coffee station was nearly empty. Guests were arriving and were hungry. There were no drinks, no hot food, and only a few dry bagels on a plate, a bowl of yogurt, and a half-eaten tray of fruit. Guests were telling my mom that there was no coffee, no juice, not enough food. We were mortified. My aunt and uncle (who should have been relaxing, enjoying family and the brunch) ran to their car, drove up the street and got deli platters and sandwiches from a local grocery store so my mom would not have to suffer the humiliation of 60 wedding guests arriving at a brunch where there was no food. When they returned, they began to put the food out as guests were all asking where the food was. There was still no coffee or juice! Unknown to us, the staff and manager were watching this all unfold on their security cameras and the manager angrily came out to tell us we could not have our own food there. My mom once again told them she paid for food for 80 people. They only provided food for 20 and did not replenish as promised. Miraculously, when they saw us bring food in, they managed to find more bacon, sausage and potatoes "in the back" and charged my mom an additional $200. By then, the damage was done. Hungry guests had left to find breakfast, or were eating the deli platters and sandwiches my family had to bolt out to get. Meanwhile, the very nice serving staff told us this happens "all the time" and that we should complain. Following the brunch from hell, my mom and I contacted Kaylyn in the catering department to tell her what happened. We met with her in person, to convey how shocked and upset we were, especially after working with her to plan properly. She seemed surprised but simply apologized and told us they would make changes so this doesn't happen again. Westlake Village Inn didn't even offer to refund the additional $200 we had to pay for food we had already paid for! My wedding brunch was ruined, my mom was humiliated, we spent hundreds more than budgeted for deli platters and paying twice for the catering we already had paid for, guests were hungry (and are STILL talking about the buffet that wasn't), and Westlake Village Inn did nothing to even try to make it right. There are moments in life so important that there are no do-overs. A wedding weekend is one of those events. As local residents, the Westlake Village Inn seemed like the perfect place to end a magical wedding weekend. The Westlake Village Inn is beautiful, no doubt about that. But the beauty of the location does not make up for the awful experience. We felt scammed, and it was clear from the servers that this scam was common. We will never book another event at the Westlake Village Inn.

Any questions?

My husband and I held an Asian wedding ceremony in the Vintage Room at the Westlake Village inn and had a hotel block at this hotel. We were very excited to have our ceremony at such a beautiful location. We worked closely with Kaylyn Cassar to make our event space everything we hoped for and she delivered. We were very pleased with the room and the event staff. We got multiple compliments on the catering the hotel provided (the pan-asian buffet) and the guests kept saying how beautiful the hotel was to walk around. We were very pleased with the attention to detail and professionalism the event staff took when creating a place for our ceremonies.

We used the Westlake Village Inn as our rehearsal dinner venue, and were so happy that we did. We had a very classy event for about 50 people. The food was excellent and service was very professional. Everyone had a great experience. Kaylynn from WVI's sales department was easy to work with and very responsive about our menu and logistics questions.

We held our Wedding Welcome Reception in the Vintage Room onsite and it was perfect! The catering team worked with us to create such a memorable night for our family and friends with plenty of food and drinks for everyone! We had several guests stay at the hotel as well and they had nothing but positive things to say about the property. The front desk was even able to accommodate handing out gift boxes for our guests upon check-in. My wife and I are already planning a stay at the hotel for our 1st anniversary next year!

11/09/2022 • Jamie G

We had our wedding rehearsal lunch and one of our room blocks here for our wedding weekend. Sam and Lupe were great to work with. All our guests enjoyed their stay there, and the food and staff are top-notch. Highly Recommend booking your block here, Rehearsal lunch or dinner, and even your wedding.

We instantly fell in love with this venue. It’s absolutely stunning. Now, wedding planning is stressful enough, so when hiring a wedding coordinator (which Westlake requires) you imagine it will make the process easier. This was not the case, as our original coordinator Kelly was out of office every single time we tried to contact her. When she did reply, she was unhelpful and gave off the impression that we were bothering her and we were an inconvenience. We felt very confused and hurt by this but brushed it off at first thinking maybe it would get better. It didn’t, they only got more condescending. When we decided to only hold a reception at Westlake instead of the ceremony which would be held elsewhere, they rescinded their offer of a complimentary room. This felt very unfair as it is still our wedding and we would now have to pay our own way for a suite when it was originally provided for us. We then spoke to Briana who was just as dismissive and unkind as Kelly. Our whole experience was dismal and the event planning staff were incredibly rude, unprofessional and condescending. I would ask standard questions such as, how does cake setup work or how do I get help coordinating with my vendors? To which I got a reply of “we don’t provide that service.” Then what are we paying a mandatory $1,200 coordinator fee for? It’s obvious they were handed these jobs and face no consequences to their actions. My fiancé ultimately had to speak to the VP of the hotel and he thankfully let us out of our contract but was quite rude when listening to our thoughts and concerns. I wish I had paid more attention to the reviews pointing out that the staff here makes planning your wedding MUCH more difficult than it needs to be. Brides, please beware of this and go somewhere that will make your day stress free and wonderful. This is not the venue for that.

Absolutely perfect.

5/07/2019 • Lauren P

Westlake Village Inn is absolutely amazing. We loved our ceremony and reception and so did our guests. I cannot recommend this place enough. Our coordinator Kelly was the absolute best! She was so kind and on top of everything. They made our wedding day so special and memorable and I cannot thank them enough!

3/20/2019 • Michael B

The Westlake Village Inn was an incredible venue for our wedding, and we couldn't have imagined the day going better than it did. We held our ceremony at the Tuscan Garden and our reception in the Provence room. The beauty of the Tuscan Garden has to be experienced firsthand, but the tree archways at the back of the aisle made for an intimate procession despite the number of guests that attended, and the rest of the space was equally unforgettable. The short walk from ceremony to reception space gave our guests an opportunity to appreciate the rest of the premises, with scenic lakeside views great for sunset photos. The Provence room and adjoining patio were a perfect cocktail hour/reception combo, and later in the night, the patio was very popular for people who needed a dance break, as was the very comfortable entry room. The staff, and especially Kelly, our coordinator, were incredibly professional and helpful. Kelly was tirelessly available to us as we were planning the big day, and a tremendous stress reliever on the day. She and the staff were able to accommodate a literal last-minute guest count change, which saved us an awkward experience! We'll never forget our time at the Westlake Village Inn, and would wholeheartedly recommend the Inn for your wedding.

The best ever! Easy, reliable, convenient, reasonable, beautiful grounds, hotel, atmosphere, service, food. Jessica Reardon coordinator was professional & accommodating. A pleasure to work with. Our other wedding venue was cancelled due to fires. We were able to plan a wedding in less than 2 weeks time stress free!

12/09/2018 • Marissa M

We had our wedding ceremony and reception here and it was absolutely perfect! Kelly in Catering made everything so easy for us during planning, plus she was our coordinator day of, and I recommend her 1000%. She’s the best! The grounds are beautiful as is, entire hotel staff is great, oh and The Villa suite for your wedding night is a must!!

WLV Inn was a fantastic venue. It's so convenient to have a hotel on site, but it doesn't feel like some hotel conference room. Our reception was in the Provence Room, and it was stunning. The wood floors, crystal chandeliers, patio, and sitting room were so beautiful and required very little decoration. We only brought in floral and chargers. The ceremony site was beautiful, we went with the Tuscan Garden and the greenery was so pretty. The only drawback was they do not have a bridal suite or groom area for the bridal party to get ready, so we had to book several hotel rooms for two nights. That cost added up and we ended up with three empty hotel rooms for two nights. The food was absolutely delicious and our guests had no issue with their meals or the bar. They allow live bands, which was our top must-have for a venue. We are very happy with how our wedding went, and WLV Inn was the perfect location for it.

6/30/2018 • Cynthia C

The property is beyond beautiful. The staff helpful, friendly, and accommodating. The service impeccable and the food delicious. We wanted a venue with all amenities....outdoor venue overlooking the lake, indoor wine cellar for reception, accommodations for all guests, and late night party for additional guest to join. The brochure doesn’t do it justice bar far. You must see it in person to understand the beauty and quality. Thank you John ( owner) and Kelley (coordinator).

I couldn't have dreamed of a better wedding venue experience than what I received from The Westlake Village Inn! The property is absolutely stunning, the price was within our budget and the service was phenomenal! Our wedding coordinator Jeannie was so sweet and helpful, the entire staff was extremely kind and generous! Every single one of my out of town guests who stayed at the Inn had nothing but wonderful things to say about their rooms and experience. My fiance's whole family lives in Colorado and really wanted to go to Malibu to see the beach and the venue was perfect because it was so close, they could do little day trips and be back in time to not miss any of the festivities! I could go on and on for days of all the things we loved about our wedding venue so I will just give tips and highlights! We did our Rehearsal Dinner in the Wine Cellar which was super romantic and made it so out of town guest didn't ever have to leave the Inn. The Tuscan Garden Ceremony spot is the most private and is stunning! The green arches gives you and your Groom a private moment when you first appear before guests even see you which I really enjoyed and I highly suggest picking a room close to the spot so you can watch it being set up as you get ready, it makes it really fun and exciting! The Fairway Patio for cocktail hour gave guests a chance to get a photo with their dates or family by the beautiful lake that sits in the middle of the property (I was told this was a great way to occupy guests while they waited for dinner time). The Provence Room for our reception was the perfect size for our guest count of 160 people (maximum capacity 200) and provided a beautiful backdrop behind the sweetheart table of the lake through big bay windows. After all of the wedding reception festivities were complete (cake cutting, father daughter dance, dinner, etc.) we proceeded to the Fairway Room for dancing! I was told so many times how beautiful every single room was and how fun our wedding was! For our Sunday Brunch we held in the Vintage Room that included a patio for extra seating and also overlooked the lake. Highly recommend this venue!!

Perfect venue! They made the day so enjoyable and beautiful. Jeannie, our coordinator, was amazing!!

We just celebrated my daughter's bridal shower at the Wine Cellar at the Westlake Village Inn. Not only is it a gorgeous venue, the food was wonderful and the staff was very helpful and very professional.... What a wonderful day....

We didn't have our wedding here but we did stay the night of our wedding here. WLV Inn is the definition of a romance. We were brought complimentary champagne to our room which overlooked the garden. It's a beautiful place to spend the first night as Mr & Mrs!

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Westlake Village Inn in the Vintage Room. Such a beautiful place, perfect for our event. All of the staff was polite, friendly and professional! Kendall and Alex make a great team, the event went so smoothly. All of our guest were in awh of the beauty and presentation by Westlake Village Inn.

I just celebrated my 50th birthday at the Westlake Village Inn. What an incredible venue! I dealt with Kendall the Catering Sales Manager and from the start things went smoothly. Her professionalism and attention to detail make things go smoothly. The crew I had for set-up and to keep things running during my celebration was outstanding. Nothing was unattended. The food was excellent! My guests had an amazing time and I was incredibly happy. Thank you very much for making me look good. My celebration was a total success!!! Thank you very much!!!

I really wanted to leave great reviews for all of my wedding vendors, but, sadly, I cannot leave a glowing review for either of the two Westlake Village Inn wedding day coordinators with whom I dealt business. I paid about $1,000 to hire the day-of wedding coordinator that Westlake Village Inn provided from their catering department. I thought that since I was paying for their coordinator services that I could have a few questions about my wedding answered along the way since it was my first time to ever get married and I was inexperienced about preparing for weddings. My first day-of coordinator, Briana Foss, hardly ever returned any of my emails or phone calls (which started five months before the wedding date), my mother’s phone calls or my husband’s mother’s emails or phone calls. The questions that we had were simple and not complicated (for example: should we order cocktail napkins or will the venue provide those?). We did not bother Briana often with questions, yet we had to finally go to management to complain about two months before the wedding date because we were so disappointed that she ignored all three of us and that she would hardly get back to us about anything. Jeannie Reed, the day-of wedding coordinator that replaced Briana, was better about returning our phone calls and emails, but was somewhat rude to the vendors that I hired for my wedding event. I’m guessing that since my vendors were not chosen from their preferred vendor list, that is why she showed a bit of an “attitude” towards them. I noticed that she gave my flower vendor and my DJ a bit of a hard time by ignoring them, walking away from them in the middle of conversations, saying that she had other business to attend to, and by giving unfriendly looks to the vendors. My wedding day was beautiful, but I had to be in the middle of everything, including set-up, until 3:30 p.m. on the day of my wedding (I got married around 6:00 p.m.), which added unnecessary stress to my special day. I remember finally sitting down in the makeup chair to get my hair and makeup done by my hair and makeup artist at around 3:00 p.m., just to be pulled out of the hotel room to check out the decorations in the reception hall, even though I left pictures and sticky notes on all of the items saying how and where I wanted everything placed at the venue hall. Anyhow, good, old-fashioned customer service and respect is all I and my family really wanted from the Westlake Village Inn Catering Department Day-of Wedding Coordinators, but, unfortunately, that did not seem to be one of their areas of strength from what we experienced.

Westlake Village Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding. The Tuscan Garden where we had our reception was a fairy tale garden, perfect for all our photos. The Lakeside Room where our reception was held, was perfect as well. The decor is so beautiful on its own, we hardly had to add any decorations. The adjoined patio was ideal and gave our guests an opportunity to enjoy the view of the pond and outdoor fireplace. They require you to have a day of coordinator with proof of contract. Kendall was our coordinator who works for Westlake Village Inn and she was absolutely wonderful. She was very attentive and warm hearted, I highly recommend her as well!

I would definitely NOT recommend getting married here. We encountered endless problems with the Westlake Village Inn from the planning to the night of my wedding. We had the ceremony at the Mediterraneo Gazebo and the cocktail hour by the lake, and the reception in the tent. It is very apparent that the Westlake Village Inn is ill equipped to have multiple weddings in one evening. They were significantly under staffed and were unable to provide adequate help and failed miserably to fulfill their legal duties detailed in our contract. - Bartenders. The WVInn only provides 1 bartenders for your event (we had 250 people so that was not going to work). We bought the most expensive bar package and added some nice bottles to that. We expressed to the WVInn coordinator that the bar was one of the most important parts of our wedding and we did NOT want a line at the bar. We additionally added servers to the cocktail hour to pass around cocktails to alleviate the line at the bar. We added more bartenders so we would get drinks out to our guests in the first two hours while we were on package. The additional bar tenders we paid for were never provided. There were long lines at the bar. People could not get drinks at the cocktail hour because the bar line was so long. To make matters worse, they LIED TO MY DAD. The captain said that the extra bartender was walking around. - Valet Parking. According to the wedding program valet parking is included (and if it wasn't we would have included it in our package since I have never been to a wedding where I had to pay for my own valet.) However, MANY of our guests were charged for valet. Some of our guests did not have cash and had to go park down the street. How embarrassing. - Room for the Bridge and Groom after the ceremony (+ bathroom). I spoke many times to the onsite coordinator about a room for my husband and I after the ceremony to fulfill the Jewish tradition of Yichud. I even spoke with the onsite coordinator the day before at the rehearsal about it and she assured me the room next to the ceremony site with a bathroom would be available for our use after the ceremony and during the reception. Not only was this room closed after the ceremony and we had nowhere to go (so we had to walk through the kitchen in my dress) but it was closed all night which ruined my dress - which is what we were trying to avoid. - Bathroom for guests. We hired bathroom attendants for the entire evening to monitor the cleanliness of the bathrooms. Not only did these attendants leave way before our reception ended, the bathrooms were a mess and the water stopped working! It is extremely embarrassing to have your guests approach you to tell you in the middle of your wedding that the bathrooms for the tent (glorified porta potties) are disgusting and they spent 20 minutes searching for another bathroom. - Noise Complaints. BEWARE. The TENT does not provide adequate sound barriers and our outside coordinator had to deal with countless calls from the Police regarding noise complaints (which is not her job and should of been done by the Westlake village inn). There are many more failures on the part of WVI that I have not mentioned above but these were the most significant, embarrassing, and a breach of their contractual duties. They have no remorse for the actions they took that greatly affected our evening, and my family's reputation.

Just had my son's wedding rehearsal dinner, for 38 people, in the Wine Cellar at Westlake Village Inn (7/15) and couldn't have been more pleased with food, atmosphere and service! Jeannie Reed, the catering manager, was great to work with. She replied to all of my emails and phone calls promptly and was willing to go the extra mile to make things work for us as this was a destination wedding and we were planning from a distance. When we did have a meeting face-to-face, she was very pleasant, professional, highly organized and accommodating. Although we didn't get to taste any food ahead of time, EVERYTHING from appetizers to dessert was excellent! The service, including bartender, event captain and servers were timely, very friendly but unobtrusive. The setting was amazing, looking out onto the lake and we were able to use the adjoining patio for cocktail hour as it wasn't booked. The room was perfect for our size group but could also accommodate a larger group comfortably. Highly recommend this venue- you won't be disappointed!

Our guests were blown away by the beauty and classic feel of the WLVI venue. It was easy to park, easy to find and the food was incredible! We used the venue coordinator for "day of" support. She really came through for us on the day of our wedding. Please note that she is not a full service wedding coordinator and will work in collaboration with you or your outside coordinator. Her services really only begin as the wedding gets closer. The only drawback we had was the waitstaff service and the bartender at the end of the evening. We had a smaller wedding party (25 people) on a weeknight. The bartender was pretty rude to some of our guests and family as the night went on, making it clear that he didn't want to be there and didn't want to deal with us. It was the only complaint our wedding guests had of the entire affair! From my perspective the waitstaff for dinner was accommodating and lovely, though again, around 11:30 they told my mother that she would need to clean up the dinner area and clear all decorations out no later than midnight. This was ridiculous as my family (and myself...the bride) were cleaning up the room so the waitstaff could leave. I was under the impression we had the space until midnight and our vendors could come in later to clean up. With the high price we paid to use the space, it felt that they could have let us clean up at midnight instead of thirty-minutes prior. Other than that though, I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful day!

I recently got married at Calamigos Ranch and we did a room block at WV Inn. This hotel is beautiful! The grounds are stunning, the rooms are great and I loved that they had Stonehaus, Mediteraneo and Bogies! Our wedding was on a Friday so we did our rehearsal dinner on Thursday and hosted it at WV Inn. We did it at the Vintage Room (a room adjacent to Mediteraneo although separate from the restaurant and run through hotel catering). We were very pleased with how the night turned out. The set up was great (indoors/outdoors) and our buffet dinner was delicious. After the wedding, some of us went to Bogies for an after party and that was fun too. It is very night clubish, which is a little strange given it's surroundings, but still very fun and a nice way to end the night. They do charge a $5 - $10 cover for non hotel guests though.

We used the Westlake Village Inn for our wedding reception and we had an amazing experience. Dana (the banquet manager) gave me loads of references (I used her florist). She went over every detail MULTIPLE times with me to make sure we were exactly on point. Our food tasting was great fun. I actually had two. I was super impressed with the entire staff at WLVI. Everyone from the catering managers to the catering staff to the barrista and the front desk clerk were always friendly, outgoing and knowledgeable. And I popped up there for coffee or lunch several times after booking just to walk around and each time I was met with an outstanding staff. Our wedding day was flawless. The catering staff was on point and adhered to all of my specific requests in a super timely manner. The room rate offered for our wedding block was also budget friendly and each room is large with lots of light. There is no "bad view". Every room looks out onto either a courtyard or the pool. This spot is so beautiful and there's plenty for guests to do on site which was a HUGE selling point.

We had our wedding at this venue and reserved a room block for our guests. The consensus from everyone that stayed there said it was a gorgeous hotel with a relaxing vibe. We stayed there as well and I have to say that they really do cater to their guests. Even though we don't live that far from this location, we felt like we were on a mini getaway in wine country! I highly recommend staying here if you get the chance.

I had a wonderful experience with the Westlake Village Inn. The staff and service were top knotch, the food was delicious, and the venue was beautiful. All of our guests loved it, and we did too! One thing we didn't realize was that there is a strict cut-off time for the room at midnight, so plan accordingly - any later and you will pay an extra fee unless you plan in advance. But other than that, everything went exactly as planned and we couldn't have been happier!

This location is gorgeous!! The grounds are so amazing that you (and your guests) will feel like it's a destination wedding. There are so many banquet rooms and ceremony sites to choose from; waterfall, lake, gazebos, and even a small vineyard. All of the hotel associates are professional and accommodating. Our wedding coordinator, Dana Jordan, is so organized and attentive...nothing gets passed her. She went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding was perfect. My husband and I do not have any complaints!

The Westlake Village Inn is beautiful year round. With this venue you have the gorgeous grounds of a Mediterranean villa, delicious food (many guests reported this), and many options of a ceremony site and reception venue. We had our ceremony at the Mediterranean Gazebo which had tall roman columns, a view of the lake and fountain, and lots of trees and colorful flowers -- so much natural ambiance that we didn't need many flowers from the florist for the ceremony. We used the elegant Provence Room with chandeliers, a two tier room (good for dancing), and a view again to the lake. We also used the wine cellar room for our Rehearsal Dinner. Our guests loved being together at the hotel and there are places for them to eat and find one another throughout the weekend. The cost is reasonable for all that you receive and there are a few ways to help make the budget manageable -- you don't need to opt for special chairs or plates, you can do a buffet style dinner, and opt for "by consumption" wine/beer rather than unlimited or hard liquor or many of the "extras" here. The place speaks for itself and in this peaceful environment the guests will really enjoy themselves!

The team at Westlake Village Inn was great and the venue was perfect for our outdoor fall ceremony. The reception was indoors which was nice since it got cooler at night. I recommend going with their coordinator since they know the venue so well. One thing to note - the bride and groom get a free courtyard room which you can upgrade but check in is at 3pm so if you are having the hair and makeup done at the hotel make sure you book two nights. The venue is also gourgeous in photos.

My experience here was pretty good. Our catering director was amazing although others were not.y photographer and I were asked by another caterer to move because another bride was on the property and could see us. I mean so what? It was very offensive the way we were treated by the other wedding on the property. Also the Westlake village inn doesn't care you are spending thousands at their hotel. They won't roll out any sort of red carpet for you so don't expect one! The food and venue on the other hand are gorgeous and made our reception an amazing experience!

We had our rehearsal dinner at the wine barrel room and guest accommodations. The hotel and catering staff are all friendly and nice. Wine Barrel Room: great ambiance right off the lake with intimate dinning, beautiful entrance, and small balconies lakeside. This was the perfect place for our dinner hosting roughly 22 guests. The food was excellent and the dinning staff was extremely attentive even helping my mom carry party gifts from her car. The price is also very reasonable and already is inclusive of the room, tables, linens, etc. Accommodations: we stayed in one of the suites which was fabulous with a fireplace, huge bathroom with Jacuzzi tub, and a balcony over looking the gardens. They give you a tour of all the rooms before booking a hotel block so you can easily see the quality of even the general guest rooms which were nice and reasonably priced too. It was also a great spot only being 8 miles from our venue at Saddlerock Ranch. The hotel itself is also beautiful with streams and flowers. I highly recommend you book either for your big day as you and your guests will not be disappointed!

First off, Dana (our site coordinator) was AMAZING! She was always prompt with email/phone responses, full of useful information, and always did her very best to accommodate us. As for the venue itself, our wedding reception was in the Provence Room...the view is to die for. Our guests absolutely raved about the scenery and how beautiful everything was. Food: one word...DELICIOUS! Again, guests raved about the food (flavor, presentation, etc.).

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

Dana Jordan is truly an asset for us here at the Westlake Village Inn! Clients appreciate her prompt replies and knowledgable recommendations. Thank you for the five star review!

Absolutely beautiful grounds, great staff. My day was perfect. And the guests raved about the site.

I got married at the Westlake Village Inn in March and everything was great! The grounds are absolutely beautiful, which is the main reason we picked it in the first place. But above that, the hospitality made the night amazing. The service staff they have were the best I have experienced. The food service was fast, they kept drinks refilled and everytime something spilled, they were out there to clean it instantly so no one would get hurt. The coordinating staff did a good job as well at putting timelines together with me, setting everything up in the places I wanted them and making sure things ran smoothly. They say the ballroom holds 200, but beware if you have more than 150 people, the patio for cocktail hour is PACKED!!! So since we had 160, some people never saw the appetizer servers coming around because they couldn't get through. But other than that, the site is beautiful and lends to some great pictures, the staff is great and everything came together to make my day perfect!

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

Thank you for the review. You are absolutely correct as for the capacity of the Provence Room with a dance space. We have perfected the art of supplying all guest with appetizers at the cocktail reception. We now have servers enter through the ...

main doors of the patio and enter through the back, as well. We have found the change makes a drastic difference to the distribution of appetizers. Thank you for the constructive words - we truly take every recommendation into account!

We chose the Westlake Village Inn because of the beautiful grounds and immediately we were so happy we did! Jeannie Reed took care of us from the moment we booked our first appointment until the Wedding was finished and even then she was still making sure we were taken care of. Love, Love, Love this place, the service, the grounds, and the atmosphere... it was a dream come true!

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

From Jeannie Reed and the staff at Westlake Village Inn, we are honored to have been apart of your day!

We chose Westlake Village Inn for our hotel as well as our wedding guests. We reserved a room block and scheduled a shuttle service to take our guests to and from the wedding. The Hotel was very friendly, made sure to inform all of our guests upon check-in of the arrival time of shuttle and everyone had a great stay! We reserved a suite for 3 nights and it was beautiful, spacious and had great amenities. The property itself was absolutely gorgeous as well. The hotel was a little more expensive than others in the area, but it was worth it for us.

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

Thank you for choosing the Westlake Village Inn for your wedding hotel accomodations. Located between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, we serve as an ideal location for social events. Our boutique style settings and gorgeous atmosphere ensures to...

make your guests feel pampered!

I did not have any bad experienences with the Inn. Service and quality were beyond my expectations. Guests loved this place as well.

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

Such an honor to be considered "perfect!" Thank you for the kind words.

Westlake Village is a beautiful place and perfect location for any wedding. The service staff were great and Dana, the day of coordinator was amazing! Everyone loved the place and said it was one of the nicest weddings they had ever been too! Thank you Westlake Village Inn and Dana for your help in making my wedding the best time of my life!

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

It was truly our pleasure, Tatiana. We pride ourselves on our customer service and appreciate your recognition. Please let us take this opportunity to thank you for the kind words.

The Westlake Village Inn was amazing and the staff was great. My coordinator was so on-point and thought of absolutely everything. The setting was beautiful and the accommodations were awesome which was great for all of the out-of-town guests we had.

Where you have your wedding reflects the personality of you and your significant other. It is such an important piece of the wedding puzzle and I am SO happy that I found Westlake Village Inn. The grounds themselves are absolutely beautiful and serene. There are 4 wedding locations to chose from for different styles and I was such a lucky bride to be able to walk down the aisle under lovely blooming jasmine! The reception locations are perfect and the service was top notch. From when I first met them and until the end, this place was perfect for us!!! We looked at about 15 venues for the wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better place! From looking at all the different places and comparing prices versus what we got for the price, Westlake Village Inn was hands down the best value for the price!

6/06/2011 • Debbie P

i had my wedding at westlake village inn. They were absolutely wonderful to work with! My wedding coordinator, Dana Jordan, was amazing she listened to everything I wanted and made it happen. She was so nice and I still keep in touch with her. My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams. Debbie

5/28/2011 • Julie S

I am in the process of coordinating my wedding there... The coordinator assigned to my event is Dana Jordan and if you decide to get married here - ASK FOR SOMEONE ELSE!!!! She has made frequent mistakes and comes across as very condescending. The venue grounds are absolutely gorgeous and are the only reason I didn't leave my deposit and run for the hills. It is very expensive - even soda is a seperate charge.

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

We are so sorry to read this review and find your experience was anything short of perfect. Dana Jordan remains one of our loved coordinators and of course, not all personalities mesh with every experience. We wish you a long and beautiful marr...

When it comes to Weddings, the Westlake Village Inn is a 100%, Top-Notch, Class A venue! Everything was perfect - the decor, the wait staff, the grounds. The actual hotel staff could use some improving - the front desk staff can get a little snippy. And the room us girls all used to get ready was going to be our suite for the wedding night. The front desk told us to let them know when we were leaving the room for the wedding and they would come in, change the sheets, clean and make it all romantic for our night. Well....they didn't. The garbage cans were still overflowing, the bed hadn't been changed or made and the bathroom towels were all over the place. That being said, as far as a location to have your wedding....I HIGHLY recommend the WVI. It is BEAUTIFUL!!

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

Thank you for the kind, constructive review. Our hotel staff works very hard to ensure their customer service is excellent. We will be certain issues of this kind are handled appropriately in the future. We hope to see you at the Inn again!

They call themselves LA's best kept wedding secret, and I have to say that they are not exaggerating...Westlake Village Inn is one of the most beautiful, serene, and accomodating places we have ever seen! Located off the 101, it's a surprisingly secluded venue just 45 minutes from Santa Monica. We had a beautiful wedding, and an amazing time there. The grounds are lush and green (even at the tail end of winter), the hotel rooms are big and quite luxurious, and the staff is incredible! My wife and I looked at roughly 15 different wedding venues (mostly from the Knot and mostly in the $$$ price range) and this was by FAR the nicest place for the cost. Now, the only negatives: -Although you get a great amount of luxury for your money, it's not cheap, as most dinner packages will cost you about $100/head if you have any sort of alcohol served. We had an open bar for cocktail hour and then a hosted bar for the rest of the night, and it was not cheap. Expect to pay about $12/head for just that first hour. The 2nd negative, and it cost them a star off my rating, was the bridal suite was not made up for our wedding night...that sounds terrible in writing, but once the staff was notified they sent us some champagne, roses, and gave us a 50% discount for the night. It was still a beautiful day and wonderful wedding, and I'd recommend them to whoever was even considering getting married there.

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

What a beautifully descriptive review! Our pricing may remain higher than venues in our area, but in comparing apples to apples, we remain extremely competetively priced. We are often compared to venues as the Four Seasons and Sherwood and we a...

Thank you so much, Claudia!

12/23/2010 • Christie L

The Westlake Village Inn is a gorgeous venue. Not to mention that the food was delicious and everything was reasonably priced. I really have no complaints. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars overall is because I would have preferred my coordinator be a little more hands-on. However, I know that other coordinators there are top notch, so I guess it's just luck of the draw. (FYI - my coordinator was still pretty fabulous! I would just have preferred a little more for what we paid for.) I can't think of a better place to get married than the Westlake Village Inn.

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

We are thrilled to see you felt the pricing was reasonable, as we strive to keep the cost as low as possible for our clients to experience a magical day!

Dana Jordan was my day of wedding coordinator with the Westlake Village Inn. She was absolutely wonderful! She definitely kept us on schedule the day of!

10/13/2010 • MELANIE L

Dana Jordan is the Go to Gal for all your wedding needs at WLVI. My wedding was flawless and all of our guest who attended said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. Wedding of the Decade is also what I have been told.

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

Wedding of the decade? What an amazing compliment! We aspire to have the same experience for all weddings we host.

Westlake Village Inn is absolutely gorgeous. We got tons of great pictures, a beautiful ceremony and reception site, and best of all... the staff is AMAZING. They took care of every detail, and made for a flawless day to remember. Highly recommended!!

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

It is such an honor to be called flawless from one of our past brides! Our staffing is truly remarkable and we thank you for allowing us to serve you.

Westlake Village Inn is a beautiful venue with top class food, service and location. Their banquet rooms are spectacular, their food was really delicious, (especially the wonderful appetizers), and they did a good job keeping in touch with us and getting everything that we wanted. The ceremony locations were also gorgeous, and I thoroughly enjoyed their mini suite in the hotel room. I did not like how they charge a minimun amount and then add 10% tax and 20% service charge onto everything they did, since it was already super expensive and it felt like hidden charges kept popping up. But I guess weddings are supposed to be expensive!

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

Thank you for the review. Our Executive Chef truly takes the time to ensure every hors d'oeuvere, salad, and entree are sent out to the highest of our standards. As for our pricing, we do apply a 20% service charge and sales tax. This is a very...

common practice for event venues. We have even seen service charges in the upward range of 35%! Of course, we give the prices upfront and apologize if it was not communicated well to you.

We had a beautiful wedding at the Romantic Gazebo and the reception at the Wine Cellar. 40 people, spend around $ 8,000

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

We are happy to be able to accomodate intimate weddings as small as 25 guest to upwards of 200! Furthermore, our menus allow for all budgets, big and small.

8/11/2010 • laura s

This is a beautiful venue to have your ceremony and/or reception. I had both of mine here. Not only is it great for ambiance and photos, but the staff is so great. They do a lot of weddings here, so I felt very comfortoable with all the staff knowing what is supposed to happen. At the same time, they make you feel special, it's not like a cattle call at all, such as, other banquets.

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

Once again, thank you for recognizing our wonderful staff. Our servers, bartenders, and full kitchen staff are well-versed in banquets opposed to standard food service. With the knowledge and expertise we possess, we hope to extend superior ser...

My wedding at the Westlake Village Inn was absolutely perfect! As soon as I walked through the Tuscan Gardens, I knew that the idillic garden setting was where I was meant to get married. Customer service there was fantastic...I bugged them all the time and always got prompt responses. The food was absolutely spectacular...especially for catered wedding food. The steak was so good that it could have come from Ruths Chris. My guests are still raving about it! It rained the whole week up to my wedding and they were nothing but accomodating to me throughout the process. We ended up on a cold and dry day, and the staff there put down mats to make sure no one stepped in mud and even pulled out blowers to try to dry the grass. Overall, this was an exceptional venue and they helped me to plan and execute the wedding of my dreams.

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

Thank you for the wonderful words of thanks. Our Executive Chef, Mr. John Parker, ensures every entree, whether it be one meal or 200, is prepared to perfection. From the staff at Westlake Village Inn, we thank you for allowing us to host your ...

its absolutely beautiful. the minute i walked in i knew it was THE place. i loved the chandeliers dark wood floors and lobby area;the food portions served during the reception were at least 1/3 the size of the food they served at the food tasting. it was embarassing that my guests were left hungry when we were paying $130 a head!! also the wedding planner we worked with leading up to our reception was not there the night of and so details we had worked out with her did not happen as planned. overall the catering and service at the westlake village inn were disappointing. BUT if i was planning my wedding again i would book with them again just get details regarding the food portions and service in the written contract! brides beware!!

5/10/2010 • marla h

Every location on site was gorgeous, the staff was courteous and helpful they really did their best to acommodate us, food was delicious and everything ran smoothly including the rehearsal dinner we held there.

5/10/2010 • BRINDEN A

Loved the view and the interior of the room which was recently remodeled. The chandeliers were beautiful.;Do not pay for a wedding coordinator through the hotel if you can avoid it. We had a certifed coordinator friend do ours but I hear time and again that this service is overpriced and not helpful at all.

5/10/2010 • Randi C

Great scenery, great food. Guests loved staying at the hotel.;We were dissatisfied with our event planner at the hotel.

5/10/2010 • Kari B

It was not buffet style. All our guest were served as if they were at an upscale restaurant. We had the Lakeside Room with a huge front patio next to the lake. At night the lake lit up and I was really impressed with all the lights and waterfalls. We were waited on hand and foot. We kept hearing from all our guests that it was the best wedding they've ever attended.;Absolutely nothing!

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

We are so happy to have read your review. All of our wedding packages are plated, with the option for a buffet. We hope that every guest leaves feeling taken care of from the moment they enter to the moment they leave. A plated dinner allows fo...

5/10/2010 • Emily D

I loved that there was a huge outdoor patio for the cocktaill hour. I also, loved the fell of the room where the dinner was held. Beautiful hardwood floors (opposed to the carpeted rooms I had seen at other venues), gorgeous chandeleirs, and the food was phenominal.;The hotel bar was next to the reception room, so I would reccommend checking the event calendar for loud bands before booking your wedding.

5/10/2010 • Mike C

Perfection!

5/10/2010 • Christina G

The picturesque quality of the location -- perfect inside the room and outside!!;Threatened to sue us for money that they alleged was owing on the contract, but which they unilaterally added (without substantiation) after the reception was over. As an attorney, I wrote them a very long letter addressing the illegality of their attempted actions, to which they have yet to respond.

5/10/2010 • Joy M

It was naturally beautiful and didn't require a lot of decoration.;They weren't as helpful as they could have been in terms of having different entrees for each guest. We had to do a lot of the prep work ourselves. They would not have their waiters ask our guests what they ordered. Also in terms of our cocktail hour, many people did not get all of the food that was supposed to be offered. The waitstaff did not go out of their way to go to every guest...and worst of all the bartender had a tip jar out. TACKY!!

Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2012

Thank you for the review. As for the possibility of offering multiple entrees to guests, we do allow for three options to be offered at no additional fee. We cannot accomodate the request to have the servers ask each person the night of the eve...

nt for preparation and ordering purposes. We find it works seamlessly if a server can simply glance at their place card and place the meal they have requested. We do not allow for a tip jar to be placed on our bars. Of course, guest are welcome to tip if they find appropraite, but never expected. We are sorry to hear of your experience and can ensure you we work very hard to keep our clients happy. Thank you again for the constructive review.
