About this venue

The Westin Poinsett Hotel was built in 1924. After the Great Depression, it started to get a lot of traction from local residents and quickly became known as “Carolina’s Finest.” It was purchased in 1997 and the extensive renovation process began, transforming it to the same flamboyant hotel that hosted guests such as Amelia Earhart and Bobby Kennedy. The Westin Poinsett boasts eight event rooms with a total of 9,669 square feet of event space, with the largest room holding up to 350 people reception style. It comes with two historic ballrooms as well as spacious meeting spaces utilized for Getting Ready on the Wedding Day. With elegant yet neutral décor, the spaces provide the perfect backdrop for your wedding photos and celebration.

  • The Westin Poinsett was AMAZING

    Verified review
    Anna & S.20 days ago

    The Westin Poinsett was an absolute dream for our wedding. Everyone who helped us was easy to work with, acted professionally, and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. In addition, the Westin Poinsett was gorgeous and was a great choice as it gave easy access to downtown, was a great place for guests to stay, and provided two beautiful areas for the ceremony and reception. Our wedding was the best day, and we cannot thank the Westin Poinsett and the staff enough!

  • Unforgettable Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

    Verified review
    Jeff C.a year ago

    What a wise decision we made to have our wedding rehearsal dinner at the Westin Poinsett Hotel. The appetizers were delicious, plated meal was cooked perfectly and the desserts were the perfect treat to end the meal. All of the staff who worked the event were attentive and made us feel at home. We highly recommend the Westin Poinsett for any kind of event. We will never forget it.
