I just had my wedding last July 25, 2026. Me and my husband worked with Susan and Adrienne on doing wedding planning since February and have constantly communicated with them up until the day of the wedding. The wedding ceremony was held at the lawn by the bay, the cocktail Hour was held at the Latimer Terrace, and the wedding reception was held at the ABVR. Me and my bridal party got ready at the penthouse and the groomsmen and the groom got ready downstairs. Everything is all inclusive and We didn't need to travel from a hotel or a BNB place to get ready. The weather was great, it rained in the morning but Mother Nature really showed its beautiful colors in the afternoon when our wedding ceremony started. The food was great! The kitchens staff did a great service on refilling the food, cut our wedding cake for us and distributed it to our guests. A night to remember! Photo Credits to the wonderful photographer, @Marissa Lee Photography ❤️

Westminster-Canterbury is a hidden gem when it comes to putting on events and special occasion. Me and my wife recently just had our wedding there, and it was the most amazing experience. From the initial contact with Susan Mason and Adrienne Hudak to the months of planning, it was a smooth and great experience. From the food, ceremony, reception and everything in between, we were able to have our dream beach wedding. I would highly ... highly recommend this place for anyone looking to have that magical wedding.

Old asian female receptionist at the front desk displayed an unpleasant attitude. She should either undergo retraining or be replaced entirely, as she treats others in an unprofessional manner. A reputable organization should employ staff members who possess a welcoming and pleasant demeanor.
