Clearwater Beach is one of our favorite places to go to see the sunset any day of the week. We wanted a wedding venue with a beautiful view, and the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach was the perfect choice. It allowed us to share one of our favorite sunset spots with our closest friends and family. The stunning view of Clearwater Beach and the incredible food made the experience even more special—our guests still haven’t stopped raving about how amazing the food was!

We wanted a wedding with a beautiful beach view but not directly on the sand and preferred a hotel for the convenience of getting ready, hosting the ceremony, and holding the reception all in one location. Avoiding transportation delays and complications was important to us, and hotels typically excel at hosting events and serving great food.

Among all the venues on Clearwater Beach, the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach stood out for offering a more private ceremony space with its stunning terrace—an amenity most other venues couldn’t compete with. The customer service was outstanding! The event planning manager, Lizzie Long, was truly their greatest asset. It was an easy decision to make!

This was a destination wedding for most of our guests, so it was really important that we had a venue that could host both the ceremony and reception so that we didn’t have to travel around all day. I have always loved the idea of getting married near a beach but didn’t want to walk down the aisle in the sand, so the 16th-floor terrace at the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach with a breathtaking view was a perfect find.

The terrace is absolutely breathtaking, the 8th-floor pool looked like a perfect location to host a post-wedding pool party, the room rates were reasonable, and the hotel itself was stunning! We truly feel like we could not have picked a better venue.

We still have guests raving about their stay at the Hyatt and how amazing the staff was! Their service was top-notch. Throughout the entire planning process, Lizzie was my go-to gal! She never left me stranded on any questions I had and was such a dream to work with! She’s the best and made everything so easy when I was living so far away from our venue!

We wanted a beach wedding, so our main focus was finding a venue that was right on the Gulf of Mexico. We wanted to see the beautiful views of the water and beach. My mom and I came across the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach online, and we were blown away. When we saw the pictures of the breathtaking views of the Sky Terrace and the wall of glass windows in the Bellair Room, we had a gut feeling that this was the one.

What sealed the deal was when we had a conference call with the Senior Event Sales Manager, Lindsey Sikes; it felt like we had known her forever. She answered all of our questions and explained everything in great detail. Even though we never saw the venue or saw Lindsey and her team in person, we knew that the Hyatt Clearwater Beach was our venue. It checked all the boxes: unbelievable food and beverage package, breathtaking Gulf of Mexico views, room block for our guests, amazing amenities and facilities, and most importantly, an amazing team.

The most important elements were food, alcohol, and music. We have been to a lot of weddings over the years, and those were the biggest elements we noticed and remembered most. When we were reading reviews from prior couples and talking to Lizzie and her team, they reassured us that the food and alcohol were one of their top priorities, too. When we went to our food testing in January, we were completely blown away by the portion size of our plated meals and how delicious the food was. To this day, people still keep telling us that we had the biggest portions and the best food they ever had at a wedding.

When we came down in January to do our food testing, I met Lizzie for the first time. We felt that we knew Lizzie forever and that she had our best interests at heart. Lizzie’s attention to detail was unbelievable. She remembered that my mom loved ranch dressing, and they brought out ranch just for my mom! It’s the little details like this that we will always remember. Lizzie and her assistant Cassie went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was perfect. We highly recommend the Hyatt, and we will be going back to visit for years to come!

We chose to get married in Clearwater for the beautiful ocean views. The sunset and the culinary experience were two important elements to us, and the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach offered both of those! We chose the venue for the beautiful views, food, and excellent service, especially the wedding coordinator Lizzie. The Hyatt did an overall excellent job!

“As soon as I saw the Sky Terrace at the Hyatt Clearwater Beach, my jaw dropped, and I knew this was it! It was the perfect mix of outdoor elements with a private area where we wouldn’t be disturbed mid-ceremony. The views were amazing and our out-of-town guests thought they were phenomenal! We couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony backdrop. I met Lindsey [of the Hyatt] and immediately clicked with her. Every question I asked, she seemed to have the perfect answer to. She was genuine, honest, knowledgeable, professional, reassuring and made herself readily available as I planned from a distance. Every single person involved at the Hyatt really went above and beyond and didn’t make me feel like they were going out of their way to do so. I would choose the Hyatt ten times over again.”
