On average, the price of a wedding at the club is going to be anywhere from $120 to $200 per person.

Westmount Country Club wedding overview
There are two rooms where your reception can be held: either the Grand Ballroom or the Continental room.

This ballroom is able to accommodate up to 1,000 guests. The Continental Room is designed for smaller weddings, able to cater up to 200 guests. This room has more of a “chic” feel, offering angled coffered ceilings with crystal chandeliers.
The wedding ceremony and reception area has a maximum capacity of 1,000 guests.
Service from an onsite wedding consultant will be included to help out from start to finish to ensure everything goes smoothly.
The bar and beverage services are included in the minimum venue’s rental fee. The beverage service is offered in-house.
Lighting and sound system are also included in the rental fee.
Other inclusions include the linens, seating, wedding cake, and shuttle/transportation for your guests.
What are the extra costs?
Additional amenities are available such as champagne, complimentary pre-reception drinks and/or cigar rollers for the wedding guests.
Taxes are an additional charge to consider.
A 20 percent tip will be added onto the overall quote once the final reception bill is determined.

Although some people only have their reception at the Westmount Country Club, there are others who also want to have their ceremony at this location. This will be a separate rental fee if you do decide this option. However, even if you choose to have your ceremony elsewhere, this will still be an extra cost, regardless.
While the club offers a wedding coordinator to help you plan the event, this person will not oversee all the details of the wedding. If you are looking for a coordinator to help with helping with everything from invitations to decorations to the ceremony and reception, you will need to hire someone separately.
