Amazing venue and experience

They went above and beyond our expectations. Emily was INCREDIBLE to deal with during the planning stage, and the execution by all of the staff before, during and after the wedding was exceptional!!! The extra touches were appreciated more than we can express (breakfast vouchers, suite for our wedding night, chocolate strawberries and wine to celebrate) and was the icing on the cake. We had an incredible time celebrating with our friends and family and a huge reason for that is the amazing job the venue did - we are forever grateful and happy with our choice!!!

Amazing experience!

We had an amazing experience with having an Indian wedding ceremony at the Best Western. Emily, the sales manager, was super helpful and amazing with communicating to us. They were flexible and accommodating to all our ideas for our ceremony. They even gave us a complimentary suite for the night. Thank you Emily and the staff at the Best Western for a magical evening!

Great Venue

They were very helpful, thinking out the box, specially when you are coordinating everything from Puerto Rico. The food and the services were outstanding.

Everything went perfectly!

The hotel staff was extremely helpful and flexible in our requests. The food was outstanding, the staff were all friendly, the location was great. The "block" bookings was the only negative. My family was all over the hotel. It would have been nice if they were actually roomed close together. However, overall everything else was perfect.

Such a great Venue!!

Me and my now husband had our wedding reception in their plaza rooms, and I could not have picked a better vendor to host my reception. Amanda was amazing at coordinating with our other vendors coming in to set up; flowers, cake, decorators. And she herself and her staff were amazing at being professional and answering questions when I had them. Very great experience. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Couldnâ ¹t have found better!

Not only is this venue gorgeous with all the renovations they’ve completed, but Amanda was very accommodating and responsive! Our guests utilized the special rate we were given to the fullest extent, the food was impeccable, and overall had the best experience with this venue!

Wonderful experience

We couldn't recommend this venue enough. Natalia was absolutely wonderful to deal with and made planning our big day easy and stress free as possible. Communication was always timely and professional and we appreciated that she coordinated everything with our other vendors taking away a lot of stress. The food was delicious and the complimentary suite for the night of the wedding was beautiful and much appreciated after a long day. I would recommend the Coast Plaza to anyone and hope to come back as guest for another wedding just to eat!
