User2329109 Sent on 09/22/2015f you are looking for a wedding venue, it is time to stop! The Hyatt Regency downtown is the BEST! We had our wedding and reception there on Labor Day weekend and it was perfect. We were expecting some sort of issues to pop up, but they did not. The only minor issues were on our side and Brandi Bailey, our Hyatt coordinator, even fixed our problem (we forgot to print our our vows and she did it for us)! From the first call I had to the Hyatt to set up a viewing of the Foothills Ballroom, I spoke with Justin Baugh, we felt so welcomed and at ease. We were a groom/groom wedding and a little apprehensive about going outside the box and having a big old fashion style wedding, but Brandi and Justin made it happen!! We had 130 people in the Foothills overlooking downtown. We had daytime pictures in front of our beautiful city, the bats flew at dusk and all our guests watched from the windows, then ended with with night fall and great pictures in front of the city lights. It is the BEST view of Austin! The food, cake, and service was impeccable! The wedding party and guests felt very pampered! Thanks, thanks, and many more thanks to Brandi, Justin, and the entire Hyatt staff for making our day awesome! -

Erica Sent on 09/25/2014My husband and I got married in the Foothills ballroom on the 17th floor of the Hyatt 2 weeks ago. We could not have asked for a better venue for our big day!!
We took our time with researching venues, and the Hyatt was by far the best quality and best value for the money. The food was absolutely delicious, the wait staff was excellent & professional, the hotel staff was a class act and the views were breathtaking. EVERYONE had a phenomenal time, and we still have guests telling us it was the best wedding they've ever been to. To see the city in all its glory as we dined was very cool. We worked with Elizabeth during our entire wedding process and she was AWESOME! So patient and sweet. She made everything so easy for us on our big day, calling me to make sure I was taken care of and stress free.
We were treated so well from beginning to end. They spoiled us with so many gifts and treats during our stay for the wedding weekend. I was completely speechless with the service. They made us feel like royalty!
Another great thing about the Hyatt Regency Austin is the location. You can see all of downtown and the lake at the same time. From our room and the Foothills ballroom, you have the luxury views of downtown with the privacy of your own floor. It feels a little more private and calm since you are across the bridge. It was a magical experience and we will recommend the Hyatt to all our friends and family. -
User1799210 Sent on 09/07/2014The Hyatt was great! My wedding was was in March at the Hyatt in both Foothills Ballrooms. It was great because we had the ceremony in one room then immediately after the ceremony, guests could enter the larger ballroom on the same floor to mingle and get the party started while my husband and I took a short break before making our entrance as Mr and Mrs. Very convenient for our guests!
The food and cake provided by Hyatt was amazing! We chose a plated option. Salmon, braised beef or vegetarian stir fry. Everyone loved the dinner and everything went flawlessly.
The Hyatt Event Coordinator, Elizabeth Cohen, was a blessing! She was there the entire time and made sure the wedding went off without a hitch and she also took the time to check in on me to make sure I was happy and had everything I needed. Elizabeth Cohen's assistance in planning and executing our wedding was priceless. I appreciated how involved, organized and professional she was during the entire process. Thanks Elizabeth Cohen!
I highly recommend the Hyatt Regency Downtown Austin! The view is spectacular and there are many options for beautiful photos (elevator photos, outside in the garden and the view is amazing!). I highly suggest considering The Hyatt Downtown for any bride that wants to be able to enjoy her big day and let the professionals take care of everything. -
User1529399 Sent on 02/07/2014The staff at the Hyatt Regency Austin, specifically Catering Manager Elizabeth Cohn, truly created the wedding of our dreams. Not only did they do everything we asked down to the smallest request, but they went out of their way to make our families and guests feel special with surprise champagne and treats in our guest rooms and much more. The staff even rushed to the bridal suite three different times when our hair makeup team blew a breaker! :) I highly recommend holding your wedding here. -
User1830964 Sent on 09/26/2014Working with Stephanie Dulimba and Elizabeth Cohn was the best part about having our wedding reception at the Hyatt. We were relatively picky customers, and they made sure every last detail was addressed, prepped, and executed. On our wedding day, the reception was the least of our worries. We went into it with high confidence instilled by the quality of service offered by Stephanie and Elizabeth and ended the evening with big smiles on our faces (not only because we just got married).
The Foothills Ballroom on the top floor is a long rectangular room, and windows fill one entire side of the room for a spectacular view of downtown Austin’s skyline and Town Lake, especially at sunset and at night. We chose to use the adjacent ballroom for our cocktail hour and for random stuff like party favors and guest book signing.
The catering menu is very extensive, and it was difficult but fun narrowing down our menu. The chef also helped us create a Chinese-German fusion hors d'oeuvre! The Hyatt made our beautiful cake and worked seamlessly with our florist to match the cake decorations to the table centerpieces. And even with a nice riesling for our white wine and a delicious sangria for our red, the price per person was reasonable compared with other venues. Many of our guests told us in the months following our wedding that the food was so delicious and filling, and we couldn’t agree more. On that note, Stephanie and Elizabeth worked closely with us to schedule the evening and made sure that there was enough time for us to enjoy the food, too.
Overall, we loved having our wedding at the Hyatt, and our guests seemed to have a very enjoyable experience as well. -
User873455 Sent on 07/23/2012I am so thankful I chose the Hyatt for my wedding ceremony and reception. The whole planning process went so smooth, and I feel like much of that is due to our great catering manager Stephanie! She was amazing! From the intitial visist, we knew we were in good hands. In fact, when we left to our second appointment we decided to cancel and go with the Hyatt, not only because we loved the venue, but because we knew Stephanie was going to be helpful.
She always responded quickly to my emails and was so on top of everything! She suggested many vendors which she had seen other people use in the past which was very helpful considering we didnt have a wedding planner.
Our tasting went perfectly. There was four of us there, my husband my self and my parents. We had many options to choose from and they let us customize so much. The wine selection was also great, which is impotant to us because we are all wine connoisseurs.
The pre wedding planning was very thorough. Mackenzie, who i believe is the hotel room manager, took great care of us as well with our room block. She was great with all our last minute changes and gave us no hassle at all!
The reception went amazing! Everything was perfect, the view was incredible from the foothills ballroom. The bartender was amazing! She was quick with helping our guests and very sweet. The entire waitstaff was very psofessional and great throughout the reception.
We had some guests stay at the hotel and they were pleased with the ambiance of the hotel, the rooms were great and the service was better!
I would suggest anyone host their wedding here! -
User1807699 Sent on 09/12/2014We had our wedding in the foothills ballroom. Everything turned out beautifully and the food was amazing. The staff was very attentive and pretty much at our beck n call. Most requests or issues were handled in a quick and professional manner. They even had slippers in the lady's restroom for the guests and we hadn't even asked for that (awesome!!). They provided us with a suite for the day/night before and of the wedding it was very nice with a beautiful view. We only had a few complaints from the whole event the first was since the guest had all received their dinners ahead of schedule and were eating I wanted to go ahead on with the reception timeline (cake cutting & first dances) the banquet manager apparently has to approve everything even when I (the bride) was telling the DJ to move on to the next item on the agenda he had to seek our the banquet manager for approval to move forward. The other problem I had that I found out about after the fact was that one of the waiters kept bothering a table of guests who were last to get their food asking if they were done so he could take their plates and then when they had gotten cake and went to the restroom they came back to find that their cake had been taken away before they were able to eat it. Mackenzie Crace who took over the planning of my wedding due to the person who normally does it having to be out of work for an extended period of time for medical reasons did an AMAZING job. She was personable and friendly through the entire process. The food tasting they provided for us was over the top I never expected it to be that way. Overall our wedding was a dream come true!
