Champagne before drywall

At Westwood, we believe any milestone is worth celebrating, and when it comes to building dream spaces for our couples, watching it all come to life is a process we never take for granted.

That’s why we threw a party, right in the middle of our construction process.

This wasn’t your typical hard hat tour. It was our way of opening the doors (literally) to share the progress, the vision, and the energy behind what we’re building. Surrounded by the raw beauty of exposed steel and the promise of what’s to come, we invited couples, vendors, and friends to step inside the story we’re creating.

Of course, in true Westwood fashion, we couldn’t resist adding a little extra sparkle. There was champagne, music, moments of connection, and yes – some truly excellent outfits. Because we believe in celebrating progress, not just perfection.

Kayla with A Simple Planner, our featured planner for the event helped truly make this evening possible. From the earliest brainstorming sessions to the final walk-through, Kayla brought a level of detail and style that made the entire experience feel effortless.

We kicked off the evening with a truly special touch – guided tours of the space led by our incredible Sales Director, Tony. His energy, passion, and deep knowledge of the project to life in a way that left everyone estatic. Guests absolutely loved hearing all the behind-the-scenes, the design vision, and what’s to come in the next phase of construction. It quickly became the highlight of the night, with people lingering after each tour to ask questions, snap photos, and soak in the future of Westwood before the walls even go up.

As guests explored the property, they were treated to an array of delicious light bites passed by the always-exceptional Jacquie’s Gourmet Catering team. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented – elevated, perfect for grazing while mingling or walking the space.

Of course, no celebration is complete without great drinks, and our bar team delivered in style. Signature cocktails were flowing all night long, crafted to match the energy and aesthetic of the evening. Fresh, fun, and a little bit of bubbly. Whether it was a classic with a twist or a custom creation each drink was a conversation starter on its own.

It was a seamless blend of good company, great design, and thoughtful details that made the entire night feel effortless and full of intention. From Tony’s engaging walkthroughs to the passed bites and cocktails in hand, every element worked together to create an unforgettable “before drywall” moment.

From the moment guests arrived, they were greeted by the sight of a stunning white tent from Ace Party Rentals, creating the perfect blend of structure and openness. The tent offered an elegant frame to the raw, unfinished beauty of the space, like a blank canvas poised for transformation. It was the perfect setting to toast to the vision ahead.

Inside, the ambiance was elevated even further by the absolutely gorgeous vintage furniture and decor provided by Violet Vintage Rentals. It was the kind of aesthetic that felt editorial but totally lived-in. Every corner was photo-worthy, every piece intentional.

The night was complete with immaculate vibes from Fred, with DJ Lockstar. It was also a true pleasure to have Randal, with The Pure Paintress out for live painting of the construction process that we will treasure forever!
