About The Westin Excelsior, Rome
The Westin Excelsior on Via Veneto is the larger of Rome's grand Marriott houses for a wedding: 12 event rooms and 1,687 sq m of space — the Giardino d'Inverno at 240, Ludovisi and Borghese at 220 each — with Marriott quoting celebrations from 2 to 600 invitees across the combined rooms. It is the Rome address for an Indian wedding of 200 to 500 that wants a run of grand rooms in the centre.
Panigrahana designs the wedding across the rooms — pheras in one, dinner in the next, the sangeet in the Giardino d'Inverno — with the Borghese gardens across the road for the morning functions.
