Why Couples Love The Westin South Coast Plaza
Couples love having options built into one venue. The Terrace Pavilion keeps a smaller ceremony intimate and personal, while the Plaza Ballroom scales up for a full celebration — and the hotel’s range of packages and services means the day can be shaped around exactly what the couple wants, without piecing it together from separate vendors.
Getting Ready at The Westin South Coast Plaza
With a hotel on site, the wedding party can get ready in a suite just steps from both the Terrace Pavilion and the Plaza Ballroom, keeping the morning simple and unhurried. The hotel’s service staff are close at hand for anything the day needs along the way.
Couple’s Session
The Terrace Pavilion’s intimate scale makes it a natural spot for quieter portraits, while the Plaza Ballroom offers a more formal, polished backdrop once it is dressed for the reception.
Wedding Ceremony
The Terrace Pavilion is built for ceremonies at an intimate scale, keeping close family and friends near while still feeling like an occasion. Couples planning a larger guest list can shift the ceremony into the Plaza Ballroom instead.
Wedding Reception
The grand Plaza Ballroom is where the celebration opens up, with enough room to host a larger reception comfortably, backed by the hotel’s full range of packages and services to handle the details.
