My husband and I had to push off our wedding celebration due to covid so we ended up having to plan our wedding celebration multiple times and switch dates. Allie Hobbs the event coordinator at The Tides was extremely accommodating and helped us have the most AMAZING event we could have imagined! We had friends and family come from all over the country and everyone had such a wonderful weekend. The staff, the food, accommodations, weather and views could not have been better! Highly recommend this venue!

We worked closely with Laure (as did my Mom...) and she was incredible. Patient, quick to respond, positive, and made me so confident that all things related to our reception would go smoothly. I did not envision getting married in a hotel, but Laure and the team at the Westin made us SO glad we hosted our reception there!
