Allison and Mark celebrated at The Westin Poinsett in downtown Greenville, with dinner and a reception that gave Allison plenty of time on the dance floor. The hotel’s traditional interiors were part of the appeal, and we also remember the food.
A downtown hotel wedding
The Westin Poinsett offers the Poinsett and Gold ballrooms, along with smaller event spaces and guest rooms on site. If your weekend includes events outside the hotel, send guests the addresses and transportation details along with their lodging information.
When you tour a ballroom, ask to see a layout with your guest count, dance floor and band included. Look at the room from a guest table, then check that there is space for servers to move once dancing begins.
Leave time after dinner
Work backward from the venue’s music end time. Allow realistic time for dinner service and toasts, then decide when you want the dancing to start. It is easy to fill a timeline with formalities and leave less dancing time than you intended.
Allison’s inquiry described “Friends in Low Places” as the couple’s song. When you send a request like that, tell us why it matters and whether you want a formal moment or simply a chance to hear it with your friends. Send us your wedding date for The Westin Poinsett and tell us which ballroom you’re using. We’ll check availability and talk through the band setup and music.
