Please consider using the Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country for your wedding! We found this hotel about a year ago and fell in love with the outdoor space and perfectly sized banquet room for our big day. We held the ceremony outside on the lawn in front of the gorgeous water wall, entertained our guests at cocktail hour on the outdoor patio, and moved everyone right inside for the reception. We also were able to take stunning wedding photos outside at several different beautiful spots. It was such a pleasant experience to have everything on site and not require our guests to travel from place to place.
Our initial contact, Cristina, and the woman who took over for her when she was promoted, Katie, were exceptional to work with and the hotel should be proud of their representation of the company. They were communicative, helped us along throughout the entire process, answered ALL of our questions, helped us to feel comfortable about every aspect of the event, and followed through on the big day so that everything went according to plan. Additionally, the event staff (led by Sal) was exceptional, as well, and allowed our guests to have a great time. Their service was seamless, professional, and considerate of all our guests.
We had a wedding of 70 which fit into their smaller banquet room perfectly, and they certainly have the capacity to fit much larger groups into bigger banquet rooms. The room was setup and decorated on time and beautifully. The tables, bar, DJ stand, cake table, were all setup to our guidelines. The ceremony space was set up with the appropriate number of chairs and it looked amazing. The one thing that you may be nervous about is that the ceremony space is near the freeway, but let us put you at ease. Our wedding was on a Saturday at 5pm and we never heard the freeway. The water wall is purposely running to create just the right amount of white noise to drown out any road traffic, but to be honest there wasn't any. Our guests were able to hear our vows clearly and any fears of car noises was quickly put to rest once we were in the space and realized that it wasn't a thing.
We chose the family style dinner option for our guests and it was a total success. The hotel provided large platters of food to each table and the guests served themselves...and each other. We heard from many guests that this was a really fun change from the typical plated or buffet dinner and allowed for greater conversation and interaction. The food itself was definitely the best "wedding food" we have ever had. We served prosciutto wrapped chicken and filet mignon, with sides, and everything was delicious! The kitchen staff really outdid themselves! We were anticipating that the food would be good, but not great because it is difficult to cook for that many people at one time. The staff at the Hyatt excelled in this area! We still have guests coming up to us and telling us that the food was exceptional.
All in all we are so extremely happy that we chose to work with the Hyatt and we cannot recommend it and it's staff highly enough. If you have any doubts just get in touch with Katie and she will set your mind at ease. She is a delight to work with and will answer any and all questions that you may have. We know that if you choose the Hyatt for your wedding you will be just as happy as we were!

Jessica Bartholomew, Catering Manager at the Hyatt, was a dream to work with. I planned a wedding of approximately 60 people over the span of a year and a half. From the start, I had an exorbitant number of questions regarding everything from what the break down of costs for venue, food, bar package, and rentals to what I could bring in to the Hyatt and if carpet could be used as an aisle runner. She answered every question, and every question I didn’t know I had. She really helped me understand the full package the Hyatt offered. When I finally decided to sign the contract, she was incredibly flexible with my schedule and the meeting only took 20 minutes. Over the next year or so of planning the wedding, Jessica was there with helpful hints and tricks of the trade. She even suggested Sequoia Floral on Santa Rosa Avenue when I was at a lost for some of the DIY supplies I needed. She even helped me on timing of the wedding and scheduling for the day and half before. For the rehearsal, my officiant had to come 15 minutes late due to conflicting schedules. Jessica actually stepped in and we ended up rehearsing the entire wedding (excluding the talking parts of the officiant), before they even showed up. When it came to the actual day of the wedding, Jessica handled everything seamlessly. Any little details I had been worried about, or had thought I would have to take care of, were handled before I even knew they needed to be. She even left a tray of brie, grapes, and two slices of the wedding cake in the Honeymoon Suite at the end of night! Since we never had a moment to have a slice of our cake, we were incredibly grateful! She even arranged for her staff to box up all of my decorations and made it very easy for me to pick them up the next day. I can’t say enough of Jessica’s professionalism, patience, understanding, flexibility, and her ability to pull it all together so smoothly. We hope to return in the future for our 10 year anniversary.

What a gorgeous place! The grounds are stunning and the service is great! They are close to tons of cute restaurants, walking trails along the river, and obviously if you talk to the concierge they can hook you up with tons of good wine passes and recommendations (Ryan is amazing!) After all – this is the wine country!!!

We had our wedding weekend at The Hyatt Vineyard Creek and it was superb. If you are lucky enough to host a welcome reception or rehearsal dinner on one of their back patios – it is so beautiful – or even as a wedding venue itself! There is a beautiful water wall that accents the roses and the intertwining vine trellis tunnels – you really feel like you are in another world.

At night you can sit and mingle with your friends and family next to the outdoor fire pit after you have enjoyed the complimentary wine tasting that is hosted in the lobby.

We did have a few kids in our group and while everyone did enjoy the pool – this is obviously not a waterpark. It is however a great place to hang out and get a little bit of sun to start your day off right!

The rooms could use a little bit of updating – but if you are going to Sonoma to stay in your room the whole trip – I would recommend that you look elsewhere (whilst maybe also looking for a new hobby!?)

Overall, cheers to the Hyatt Vineyard Creek for having a beautiful, convenient, and friendly property!
