We love working with the team at Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay! They have so many different options for any size wedding large or small. We've done intimate weddings in the gazebo on the water and 3 day Indian weddings with 600+ guests. Their staff is fabulous to work with and such a great location!
The Grand Hyatt is a beautiful location to get married at! The massive ballrooms have the capability to hold large weddings and corporate events, offering comfortable seating for all guests. Along with the ballrooms, the Grand Hyatt offers a few other locations for outdoor wedding ceremonies and receptions to take place to accommodate the different styles of all of the couples who pursue their venue! Caitlin is very quick to respond to any questions and is dedicated to making other's lives less stressful while still putting together a beautiful day for each and every one of her clients.
