Great flexibility during COVID

My wife and I were supposed to get married at the Bethesda Hyatt Regency on March 21, 2020. Our wedding coordinator was Rhonda Hofberg-Kyle. She was super responsive and flexible throughout the entire process. Unfortunately, we were forced to cancel due to the COVID restrictions that were put in place in March. We are so grateful that both Rhoda and the hotel did not hesitate to give us a full refund. We hope we can work with Rhonda again in the future.

Amazing space

I got married on the rooftop at the Bethesda Hyatt Regency and the view and staff were absolutely amazing. Everything ran smoothly and Brittany was such a joy to work with and made sure our day went out without a hitch. It was the most magical time ever. I couldn't have picked a better venue. I nor my guest had an issue with booking rooms and setting up a code for my group was made easy with the help of Yetta. Don't wait, book them. It is well worth it!

Best Wedding Reception Venue Ever!!!!!!!!!! Best Customer Service!!

I am still speechless! My cousin, Christie's Wedding ceremony and reception this past Saturday 06/08/19 was extremely successful! This would never have happened without the tireless excellent effort of you and your entire team that worked on this event. All of us as a family want to say THANK YOU to you and your team, everything was on point and well taken care of, we received numerous compliments from Guests about the set up and the service. Everything was well done. Thank you Rhonda for you work on this; the calls, the emails, the last minute additions and subtractions, yet you kept your cool, we are grateful!




I must not forget all the servers at the Reception, they went above and beyond and provided excellent service, I just had to mention it and it was taken care of. I tried to look at every name tag but I have forgotten most names but please thank each and everyone of them. I remember one name at least (because I kept asking her to attend to different guest requests) and she did so with a smile always, her name is Nicole; Nicole is amazing. There were two other Men servers; one seemed like a Manager directing the serving staff; he was professional, kind, thoughtful and conducted himself with so much grace. He directed the staff and they listened. I could go on and on but every single server in that Ballroom, worked with a smile! You have an amazing staff!




Thank you again and again Rhonda for your excellent customer services, your professional charm, your patience and your thoughtfulness

I'd Choose This Venue Every Time!

My husband and I started planning our wedding in July and found The Rooftop at the Hyatt Regency Bethesda. We planned to see the venue and we were astounded at how beautiful it was! So many windows around the room that we ultimately fell in love with it that day and decided to have our wedding here. We worked with Shelley Belk, and wow is she amazing! She helped me out a lot as my husband and I are both busy Army medical students. She went above and beyond everything I could imagine and made everything so easy and stress free. She helped me pick out the menu, order the rentals, and run day of coordination -- she does it all, there was no need for a wedding planner!

We had both our ceremony and reception at the Rooftop and the team flipped the room very quickly. The team who works with Shelley for our wedding is incredibly professional and nice. I could tell that they really wanted us to have a great wedding day. If I were to get married again I would choose the rooftop every single time!

Perfect Wedding Venue

My client had their 400 guest wedding here on 3/31/18 and the Hyatt was wonderful. The provided so much support to the vendors as well as the bride, groom and their parents. They provided accomodation for the couple and their parents. The hall was also really nice and needed not too much decor to transform the space. It was truly a beautiful event and i would recommend this venue for more events.

While I am not reviewing a wedding, I planned and hosted three separate B’nai Mitzvahs for my children at the Bethesda Hyatt.
I was slightly concerned that having the event in the same place would be redundant but that was hardly the case.
The only thing that was duplicated was the extraordinary quality of food, top-notch service from the entire staff and the uncompromised creative inspiration.
The entire planning process was stress free and fun. I had the pleasure of working with Shelley Belk for all three events. She is so wonderful. She is professional, accommodating, warm, organized and so very talented.
She has the most creative ideas and I don’t think I have ever heard her use the words “No”. With her team if we can imagine it, she can implement it.
We have used the beautifully renovated ballroom for two of our events and the Rooftop for another. They were both perfect clean, contemporary backdrops for our events. The newly renovated guest rooms are also wonderful.
While we had an elegant sit down dinner for our first Bat Mitzvah, it was fun to create unique food stations for the second and third party. Each of our events had an entirely different vibe. For all of the events the food was fresh, beautifully presented and delicious. Chef is truly a master at his craft.
It was the little touches and attention to detail, like the hospitality suite created for our out of town guests and the spectacular brunch for our guests Sunday morning that was the icing on the cake.
I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone or anywhere else to celebrate our biggest family celebrations.

We had our wedding reception at the Hyatt Regency Bethesda and I could not be more thrilled with our choice. We first worked with Sydney on coordination until she left and then we worked with Shelley and Rhonda for the last couple months leading up to the wedding. The transition was completely seamless and the Hyatt team made our wedding planning very stress free and easy. They took care of EVERYTHING, including coordination with all vendors on the day of, managing and organizing our stuff (signs, pictures, escort cards, favors etc.), making sure my husband and I had a private room to quickly enjoy the appetizers alone before joining the cocktail hour and managing the flow during the reception itself. My husband and family and I all felt like we were guests at our own reception and we didn't have to do any annoying hosting duties because the Hyatt took care of it all! They were super responsive in the months leading up to the wedding and patiently answered all our logistical questions and were super flexible in agreeing to our requests, e.g. we asked for couches outside the reception for older guests, we asked to extend our stay in the honeymoon suite an extra night and early check in and a bunch of other things that they were cool with. We paid a rate of $89 per adult (bit less for kids and this price didn't include food as we went with an outside caterer) for the space and open bar and the Hyatt was very generous with freebies like the honeymoon suite (which was absolutely enormous and luxurious), signature cocktails (we had a lot of fun coming up with these), champagne toasts and of course all the necessaries, like chairs, linens, silverware. The space is huge and the Hyatt team had a lot of great ideas for layout and flow of the tables, food and drinks. They also gave us a great room block of 25 rooms at $119/night which is a great price for that area. I enjoyed staying at the hotel and constantly running into our guests everywhere!

My husband and I recently held our wedding at the Hyatt Regency Bethesda on October 21, 2017. We absolutely loved the Hyatt and are beyond happy we held our wedding reception there! From the beginning, we worked closely with Sydney and team. From the first meeting, Sydney was beyond helpful and I could tell not only loved her job and helping others plan and execute their dream day, but she also cared about us as a couple and what are expectations, needs and visions were. We continued to work closely with Sydney for almost all of 2016. I had questions all year and planned numerous visits to the Hyatt. Each email and request was met with responsiveness and positivity. I never felt like I was asking too much of Sydney and team and always left with my questions answered and feeling comforted. I cannot thank the Hyatt enough, especially Sydney and Shelley, for all they did to make our wedding so special and amazing. If I could do it all over again, I would without changing a thing. It was the best day of my life and Sydney was a huge contributor. The quality of service, especially food, drinks, décor, the ballroom (which is so beautifully modern and elegant), the concessions, EVERYTHING! I highly consider for any bride looking for a wedding in Maryland, especially close to DC. After the wedding we all made our way to the Daily Grill where the party continued. The Presidential Suite was simply beautiful and enormous. I got ready there with the bridesmaids and it set the tone for an amazing weekend and wedding day. Sydney and Yetta sent lovely cards and champagne to the room which was so nice, thoughtful and made me feel so special. The team there is top notch and I cannot thank them enough.

I guess I'll start this review with one word -- wow!

We recently had our wedding hosted at this property (Labor Day, 2016). Needless to say, they met and exceeded our expectations in virtually every aspect. While the ongoing renovation was 'the elephant in the room', if you will, the entire ballroom level, guest rooms, and related spaces, were well finished. Additionally, multiple hotel staff went above and beyond to ensure logistics went smoothly and our guests were well taken care of from before their arrival to the end of the event. Their thoughtful planning and 'Day Of' execution made the renovation a forgotten afterthought.

A big part of the hotel's stellar service came from our experiences with their designated Point of Contact - Sydney W. - who worked very closely by our side every step of the way to bring our vision to life during our 300+ guest event during Labor Day weekend. Being so involved since the preliminary planning phase, Sydney was always there whenever spontaneous challenges emerged (naturally, there were a few) and she was instrumental in creatively resolving hurdles, turning negatives into positives and opportunities, and making our wedding an ultimate success beyond measure!

When we began working with her, we quickly realized the 'personal' level of engagement she was bringing forward, to the point where we felt that we were all working together as a team (not simply a transactional fulfillment). She brought many innovative ideas to the table, many of which eventually went on to receive high praise from our guests in their feedback during and after the wedding. Her contributions directly had a huge impact on overall guest experience (which we have heard firsthand)

Kudos to Sydney...she wore many hats beyond Hyatt's social events manager; she was a contributor, facilitator, and coordinator for the most special weekend of our life. Thank you!
