The Hyatt Regency in Austin was the first venue that we went to when looking for a wedding space. We are so glad that we were able to have our wedding and reception there! The views from the Foothills ballroom on the 17th floor were amazing! We did the rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception all on the same floor relieving us off the stress from having to coordinate multiple spaces. The staff was very attentive to our guests all night and we were really treated like royalty. And the event coordinator was superb! Brandi helped us through every step in the process from start to finish and made us feel like the center of the universe. She called to check in, coordinated with our vendors for us, helped us work through our budget and made sure that everything we envisioned for our big day was able to happen. The gifts we received from the Hyatt after our wedding were completely unexpected and perfect! If we could do it all over again we wouldn't have looked at any other venue. If you're looking for a venue in Austin to host your dream wedding, this is it.

We flew in from Albuquerque, NM, to have our wedding in Austin, TX. We had a traditional desi wedding that turned out to be much more magnificent than we had imagined. Everyone who attended our wedding commended us on the decorations, the arrangement for food, the dance floor, the stage set up and the service provided by Hyatt's personnel.
Brandi Bailey helped us coordinate our wedding from the Hyatt Regency. Despite us being from out of town, she took care of a lot of the details that worry brides and grooms. We did not hire a wedding planner for our wedding, yet things worked out perfectly.
We initially had talked to Brandi about a much smaller venue and she upgraded us without charge, to a bigger hall for the event. We eventually had our event at the Texas ballroom, which was just as gorgeous as their newer Zilker ballroom. Brandi assisted us with providing guests parking as well as coming up with a block of rooms that we could reserve for the wedding. We had four outside vendors involved with our wedding and Brandi helped us coordinate with all of the vendors perfectly. The Hyatt Regency also let us have our photo shoot in and around the hotel; there are multiple spots that our photographers found to be picturesque.
We were also offered a complementary room with champagne and wine. My family wanted to set up our room with rose petals and candles prior to the check in time; Brandi made this happen as well.
I would highly recommend the Hyatt Regency in Downtown Austin, TX as a venue for your wedding.

f 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!

From the day we considered Hyatt properties, I have to say that we were treated with the utmost professionalism and respect. When my mom and I first decided to take a look at Hyatt Regency (unannounced because we happened to be in the area at the time), the employees were extremely helpful and even gave us an unofficial tour. I thought it was going to hard planning a wedding from out-of-city but the staff at Hyatt Regency made it a breeze. I was slightly worried when our coordinator was relocated and was informed that I’ll be working with a new person but Brandi, the new coordinator, went above and beyond our expectations. Her attention to details and bubbly personality put me and my wedding coordinator at ease. The appetizers and dinner was so great! They truly had the comfort of our guests as priority. They even had slippers and toiletry items ready for the guests in the restrooms without me having to ask for it! I have to say that with the help of Brandi, Liz and the entire staff at Hyatt Regency, we had the best weekend of our lives.

In my search for a ballroom for my wedding, I wanted to be able to trust who I was working with so that it would perfect. I visited 15 different venues before I shook the hand of the amazing staff at The Hyatt Regency. The banquet coordinator I met was Elizabeth Cohn, and she made my husband and I feel like we were the most important event in her schedule. She was patient, caring, sincere, and above all amazingly detailed. From the moment we toured the ballroom with her, we knew this was our venue. The Texas Ballroom was everything we wanted; luxury, style, and EXTREMELY spacious for our expected 200 guests. The combination of Elizabeth’s customer service and the amazing ballroom was absolutely perfect! As we continued to work with Mrs. Cohn, we met other employees at The Hyatt who ALL seemed so pleased to help us each time. Even valet parking our vehicles when we stopped by (without notice!) to ask more questions or drop off a payment – for free. The tasting was our FAVORITE part – maybe even topping our wedding day… almost. Now, not all weddings are perfect, so when our coordinator Elizabeth called to say she was moving away, I became very afraid that our great experience and planning had JUST ended with her leaving. After all, she was a HUGE part of us choosing The Hyatt Regency. As we became more frightened about our event, I called numerous times to check on different items for our wedding and Justin – the most incredible assistant coordinator – calmed me down each time and reassured us that the coordinator taking over our event would be just as great. And he was right - Elizabeth passed the torch to coordinator Ms. Brandi Bailey and our great experience - only got BETTER. She was AMAZING! I was thrilled to have all the details in place and on the day of, have a trustworthy and super sweet lady like Brandi there to run things. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to marry my best friend and love of my life. It doesn't get any better than The Hyatt!

Working 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.

My 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.

The 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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
