Their communication style was punctual, amazing, and friendly throughout the entire planning process.

They were incredibly responsive, often getting back to us within a day, and were always easy to talk with, making the planning process seamless. We couldn't have asked for a better team to bring our dream beach wedding to life.

We had the most amazing experience hosting our wedding at the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach! The location is absolutely unbeatable—right on the beach with breathtaking views, and just steps away from great restaurants, shops, and activities for guests of all ages. It was the perfect destination for both our wedding day and a full weekend of celebration. The Sky Terrace view is amazing. A huge part of what made our experience so special was working with Cassandra (Cassie). She had recently been promoted to her role, but you’d never know it—she was incredibly professional, responsive, and a true joy to work with. Cassie really listened to all of our concerns during the planning process, and by the time the big day arrived, every single one of those concerns had already been handled. Thanks to her, the day ran smoother than we could have ever imagined. We can’t recommend the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach and Cassie highly enough to any couple searching for a beautiful, well-run venue with an exceptional team. It was everything we hoped for and more!

I had my wedding ceremony and reception at the Marriott Suites on Sand Key in May 2024. It was amazing. The facility coordinator was great to work with and having both in the same facility made planning easy. Having a smaller guest count made it somewhat difficult to find the right location and price balance with other hotels, but this Marriott was able to accommodate. Our guests loved the property. I would highly recommend this hotel for your wedding!
