About The Westin Resort, Costa Navarino
The Westin Resort, Costa Navarino is the family-resort half of Costa Navarino on the Ionian coast — and the estate holds the largest wedding hall in this set: the Great Hall is 1,363.7 sq m for 1,188 at banquet rounds and 1,600 at a reception, with Orion and Cosmos at 432 each and twelve event rooms on Marriott's chart, all beside a long beach and two golf courses. For an Indian wedding of 500 to 1,200 in Europe, this is the room.
Panigrahana designs the Great Hall for a convention-scale stage and lighting rig, the beach and Flame for the pheras and sundowner, and uses both hotels of the estate for the room block.
