Westgate Events - Scottsdale, Arizona

Westgate Events is absolutely the best choice for a wedding planner! Cydney is not only an incredibly talented and knowledgeable professional, but also such a fun and positive person to work with. She made the entire wedding planning process enjoyable and truly stress-free.

From researching and recommending destination venues to working seamlessly with our selected venue, sourcing top-notch vendors, and managing every small detail, Cydney brought our wedding weekend to life in ways we couldn’t have even imagined. We came to her with just a few priorities for the day and no clear overall vision—and she shaped a beautiful, personalized plan while offering expert guidance on all the many things we hadn’t even considered.

One of the best parts about working with Cydney was her commitment to honoring our budget while still designing a luxurious, high-end event that felt completely like "us." She found creative ways to add personalized touches throughout the weekend, from coordinating off-menu desserts and designing bespoke lighting to organizing a private wedding morning yoga session for the bride and her friends. Every element felt intentional, thoughtful, and unforgettable.

We truly can’t get over how perfect our wedding weekend was—and it’s all because of Cydney! She is a trusted expert, a wonderful person, and became a true friend. We are forever grateful and recommend Westgate Events without hesitation. Hiring Cydney will be the best decision you make for your wedding!

From start to finish, Cydney at Westgate Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! Beginning with our initial consultation call, she worked to ensure that she understood the vision for our wedding and provided options for how to bring it to life. She is extremely responsive, considerate, and reliable. Cydney has an eye for design and knows how to create a wedding that is not only beautiful, but also unique and special to the couple. Cydney is the best!!!

Cydney went above and beyond when planning our wedding! We got married at a private estate, which had never been used as a venue before - we were starting from scratch. Cydney helped bring my vision to life and knew the exact vendors to use to do it. With her organizational skills, the planning process was seamless. She was also very personable, gave advice when needed, and listened to what we wanted. Cydney was easy to talk to, took away the stress, and made the whole process fun. She truly outdid my wildest dreams of a wedding!! I cannot recommend Cydney & Westgate Events enough. Best decision we made! It couldn't have been done without her!!

I cannot speak highly enough of Cydney as a wedding planner. From the very first meeting to the final moments of our big day, she went above and beyond in every aspect. Her attention to detail, creative ideas, and genuine care for making everything perfect was evident at every turn. Even when it unexpectedly rained on our wedding day, Cydney handled it with such grace and professionalism, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch. She made the transition from our outdoor ceremony to the indoor venue seamless, and it still turned out to be the perfect day.

Cydney truly made my entire wedding experience flawless. She anticipated every need, communicated with me every step of the way, and ensured everything ran smoothly. I felt completely at ease, knowing she had everything under control. She wasn’t just a planner—she was a true partner, making my dream wedding a reality, no matter what the weather threw at us. I am beyond grateful for everything she did, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner who genuinely cares and delivers perfection. I absolutely love her!

Our wedding was 3 weeks ago, and dare I say... I actually miss wedding planning only because now I can't text Cydney all of the time!
Before I met her, I had interviewed several other wedding planners in the Phoenix area and didn't really click with any. One of the managers at my wedding venue highly recommended I reach out to Cydney, and that was the best decision I ever made!
From the first phone call, Cydney was super personable, professional, and took the time to truly understand the vision for my wedding. She is extremely creative, not only in her designs but also in achieving what you are wanting all within your budget. She has a great relationship with wedding vendors across the board (i.e. florals, rentals, etc), which made the whole planning process even smoother.
Wedding planning can obviously be very stressful, but I felt confident that everything would run smoothly because I had Cydney. She was extremely punctual, organized, and detail-oriented every step of the way. Our wedding day was literally seamless without any hiccups, and I can't tell you how many of our guests complimented us on having her as our wedding planner.
If you want a wedding planner that genuinely cares about giving you the wedding of your dreams, I highly recommend hiring Cydney and her team!

Cydney was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day. She came highly recommended from our DJ and it was easy to see why from our first conversation over a year before the wedding. As soon as our day of coordinator services started, she hit the ground running by taking over all vendor communication flawlessly, giving advice and guidance for our venue layout, and execution of an amazing event timeline. She made us feel so important as a couple throughout the process and at ease as a bride when I started feeling stressed. Her knowledge of the industry and expertise shows, I truly couldn’t imagine our day without her and Westgate Events. I only have the absolute best to say about our experience, 5 stars doesn’t cover it!

Working with Cydney was the best decision we made in the entire wedding process. She captured our vision perfectly and handled every detail, including tracking down the vases I liked from a Pinterest inspiration photo. I kept waiting to feel stressed before the wedding but it never happened. Cydney took care of everything. The whole day was a dream and we could not have done it without her.

Cydney at Westgate Events in Arizona carried out a dream destination wedding for my daughter Claire and her husband Adrian! Everything was perfection from start to finish!

Cydney is organized, professional, knowledgeable and is very well respected in the Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, AZ area. Vendors all love working with her, and she and her team are the best in the business!

Westgate Events even assisted us with an engagement photo shoot at an AZ venue the summer prior to the 2024 wedding!

The March 2024 wedding was at Mountain Shadows in Paradise Valley, AZ which is a lovely place to get married! We took advantage of the outdoor lawn area with Camelback Mountain in the background for the ceremony, outdoor area for cocktails and appetizers, upstairs on the terrace for a formal sit down dinner, then we used the indoor ballroom for the fun dance reception. First Dance was held on the dinner terrace with special lighting and sparklers! We did the cake cutting inside and around 10 p.m. had late night bites and espresso martinis for our guests! Every detail was arranged by Cydney at Westgate Events with Input from us. We had a wonderful time putting it all together with Cydney and were so grateful for everything she did to make it all come together perfectly!

Friends and family have been telling us "It was the best wedding ever!!", which we give full credit to Cydney and Westgate Events! Bravo!
