Planning an event? Whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, or milestone celebration, selecting the right venue is a foundational step. But before you fall in love with photos online, one essential part of the process should never be skipped: the venue tour. This is your chance to step into the space, feel the atmosphere, and see firsthand how your event could unfold. It’s where inspiration meets reality and where your planning journey truly begins.

Here’s why venue tours matter, what you can expect during one, and the critical questions you should ask while you’re there.
1. Photos Never Tell the Whole Story
Online galleries are designed to show every venue in its best light perfect angles, styled décor, and carefully edited shots. But photos can only tell part of the story. Tours let you experience the space as your guests will: the scale, the layout, the atmosphere. At Westwood, what you see online is just the beginning. When you visit our property, you’ll understand the difference – spacious rooms, thoughtfully designed details, and a setting that’s even more impressive in real life.
2. Get a Feel for the Flow
Seeing a venue in person allows you to envision how guests will move through the space. Is there a smooth transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception? A walk-through helps you picture the guest experience from arrival to last call.
3. A Chance to Build a Relationship
A venue isn’t just a space, it’s also a team. Touring gives you a chance to meet team members and staff. Are they organized? Personable? Will they be helpful on your event day? A great team can make all the difference.

On your tour, take your time, ask questions, and picture every moment.
