Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress

We had our wedding at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, and it was truly a dream come true from start to finish. For our ~75-person destination wedding, the venue, staff, and planning experience exceeded every expectation.

From the very beginning, we were blown away by the breathtaking grounds, the seamless organization, and the incredible people who made our day possible. The ceremony at Cypress Point was absolutely angelic. The soft white fabric overhead reflected the light beautifully, making for the most stunning photos, and the long walk around the water created a dramatic, unforgettable aisle moment. I especially appreciated that the pool and water activity areas were separate, which kept the ceremony space peaceful and private.

Our reception at La Coquina was straight out of a fairytale. The space has so much character on its own, with flowing fountains, a perfect view of the sunset, and even visibility of Disney fireworks in the distance—it made the evening feel magical. The food was phenomenal, and our guests are still raving about it. The wait staff was just as impressive—swift, attentive, and so kind. Everything flowed beautifully, and we felt truly taken care of.

And the cake—wow. As a bride, I initially had some reservations about using a venue-made cake instead of a specialty bakery, but that worry disappeared quickly. The cake they created was beyond what I dreamed of. I showed them a photo, and they somehow made it even better. Plus, the flavor options were amazing, and it tasted just as good as it looked (if not better!).

A huge part of why our day was so flawless is thanks to the exceptional coordination between Hyatt’s on-site team and the amazing planning services through their partner, Just Marry! Working with Emylie Rose from Just Marry! was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, Emylie was warm, responsive, detail-oriented, and simply a joy to work with. Her attention to every detail, calm energy, and deep knowledge made the entire process smooth and enjoyable.

Our journey with Just Marry! actually began before we chose Hyatt—after meeting Mairead DeLuca at another venue, we were so impressed with the Just Marry! team that it became one of the reasons we ultimately chose the Grand Cypress. The partnership between Emylie and Hyatt’s incredible venue coordinator, Hannah Long, was the definition of a well-oiled machine. Watching them work together was like witnessing two people perfectly in sync, navigating everything behind the scenes with total ease and grace.

Hannah deserves her own spotlight—she was the heart of the Hyatt wedding team. Incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and always five steps ahead, she made us feel like we were her only priority. She took care of every detail, answered every question (including the ones I didn’t know to ask), and made sure we felt celebrated at every turn. From sweet surprise goodies to handling uninvited guests and late arrivals with total professionalism, her calming presence made a world of difference.

Both teams—Hyatt and Just Marry!—worked seamlessly to bring our vision to life. Emylie’s coordination on the day of the wedding was next-level. She managed timelines, soothed nerves, and even pulled out fans, water, and essentials as if by magic. She was like the best friend you didn’t know you needed—anticipating needs, keeping everything on track, and making sure my husband and I were able to be present and enjoy every moment. One of the most emotional moments of the day was seeing our reception room for the first time—I cried happy tears seeing our vision brought to life so perfectly.

If you’re considering getting married at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, do it. Between the stunning venues, the top-tier service, and the powerhouse coordination between Hyatt and Just Marry!, you’ll be in the best hands. Our wedding day was not only beautiful—it was joyful, smooth, and unforgettable. We will forever be grateful.

This venue is a beautiful place for both ceremony and reception while providing a vacation type ambiance! Our event coordinator-Shauna was great! Special thanks for the chef and banquet staff who really took care of us and our guests! All the food was amazing! And the wedding cake was the best! i am so happy we chose this venue because it was just Perfect in every way and the hospitality really shines through!

Overall my wedding was beautiful ans lovely but during the day quite a few hiccups occurred and Shawna swooped in and was my night in shining armor. My third party coordinator was a waste of space while Shawna found solutions and fixed all problems. She was an absolute delight all throughout the planning process and made sure everything would be perfect for my day. I will be forever grateful that she was apart of my special day

Amazing! Excellent food and service!

Molly was our event planner and was awesome to work with! She made the entire process easy from start to finish and was always helpful and responsive to our questions and concerns. Everyone we encountered at the Hyatt Grand Cypress were friendly and helpful! Beautiful resort and all round great experience!!! You will not be disappointed!

Being from out of town, I booked at the Hyatt before even seeing it in person, so I was a bit anxious. The location and settings were perfect, the event staff were extremely accommodating, and the planners I had throughout my 3 year engagement (thanks COVID) were all so helpful. Molly Taylor was the lead planner for the actual wedding, and she was fantastic at making sure we had everything we needed on the big day. Everything was perfect, and we are so happy we chose the Hyatt.

Out of all the venues I searched this one had all that I was looking for ! Big chandeliers , floor to ceiling windows with pretty views. I am sooo happy we decided on the Hyatt Regency. The service was amazing ! The food was soooo good our guest raves about it ! And Molly was beyond helpful with everything! Our wedding was amazing !

I had the absolutely best vacation ever. It was breathtaking....
An experience I will never forget!!
Eternal Love

We are so happy with our decision to have our wedding at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress! The team here was amazing and so helpful throughout the whole process. When my main contact left a couple weeks before my wedding I was in a bit of a panic, but the team didn't miss a step and confirmed all the details with me before the big day to ease my concerns. I can't thank Kaitlyn and Christa enough for keeping everything running smoothly before and on the big day!
The staff on the day of were on top of everything. From quickly putting together a new place setting for an unexpected guest, to bringing the groom and I snacks and drinks so we could continue mingling, they went above and beyond. Several guests commented on how great the service was.
I can't forget to mention how gorgeous the grounds of this resort are. The pool, the lake, even the main lobby of the hotel - everything is so beautiful! There are great onsite food options as well. We had our rehearsal dinner onsite at Hemingway's which has beautiful views overlooking the pool.
Highly recommend this venue!! We can't wait to go back for an anniversary!

From the moment I saw Oak Terrace, I knew I would get married at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress. I worked with Kaitlyn, who assisted me with my questions and requests all throughout my planning, and she was so wonderful on our wedding day! We held a welcome dinner the day before our wedding, and both that dinner and our wedding ceremony and reception went so smoothly! Kaitlyn was so attentive, checking in with me and my husband throughout our events, touching base with my Mom to make sure that everything was how it should be, and the entire Hyatt team made our wedding weekend so amazing. Our server and banquet captain made sure to take care of us, checking in with us to make sure we were okay - and when my nerves got the best of me, and I couldn't eat, they made sure to send my meal up to my room for after the reception. This meant so much to me, and really showed how the staff goes above and beyond to make your day special. Our guests absolutely loved the food, the hotel, the pool - it was the perfect getaway for our guests, and we look forward to returning to the hotel for anniversary weekends and staycations! It was the perfect wedding, and we couldn't have done it without the amazing staff who took such great care of us!
