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 dream beach wedding at Indian Rocks Beach, Florida, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gold Sun Weddings! From the moment we contacted them—about five months before our wedding—they were absolutely spectacular. Their communication was flawless. Every question I had was answered promptly, and they kept me informed every step of the way. Our ceremony was held one hour before sunset, and the lighting was simply breathtaking. Mark was our officiant, and he was fantastic—funny, genuine, and made us feel completely at ease. He used a microphone so all of our guests could hear the ceremony clearly, even over the ocean breeze. The photography exceeded all of my expectations. The photos turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined. We've already made a photo book and have four large canvas prints hanging in our home—and everyone who sees them compliments how stunning they are! I truly can't thank Allison and Mark enough for making our wedding day so seamless and memorable. If you're considering a beach wedding, this is the team you want by your side.
