Amazing Service!

We had a tour of the Lighthouse Cove last year while trying to find a waterfront wedding venue. When we first met Ashlee who gave us the tour and all the details, we knew we absolutely had to have part of our wedding weekend at Hyatt Place and the Lighthouse Cove. Unfortunately, our desired wedding date wasn't available, so we wound up doing our room block at Hyatt and hosting our farewell brunch at the Lighthouse Cove. Even though our actual wedding wasn't even taking place there, it didn't stop us from having the most amazing hospitality from the staff at Hyatt Place. Ashlee went above and beyond every step of the way, not only taking care of us, but also all of our guests. Jacque who ran our brunch was awesome, and people are still raving about the food that was on their brunch menu. We can't say enough about how amazing it was to work with Ashlee and the rest of the staff here. If you want one less thing to stress about during your wedding planning, choose the Hyatt/Lighthouse Cove for your event!!

The best day we could have every asked for!

We are so happy we chose this venue for our wedding! Lighthouse offers a great location, beautiful views, and a fun atmosphere, which is what led us to choosing here. But working with Lisa Wilgus was the best bonus. Lisa is simply WONDERFUL. She and her team go above and beyond to accommodate all your needs and she is so kind and caring, like a wedding fairy godmother. She made our day a breeze and you can tell she really cares about her clients and will do anything to make their day special! She is such a hard worker and it felt like we were working with a friend or family member. She really knows her stuff and is always on top of every detail. The venue speaks for itself, but the staff is what makes this place perfect. We are so thankful for the chef, amazing staff, and Lisa for making our day a dream come true! We love you, Lisa!

Perfect Delaware Beach Venue

Our wedding on September 18, 2022 was absolutely perfect. We have been vacationing in the Rehoboth/Dewey area for over a decade and knew this was where we wanted to get married. Upon meeting with Lisa in January 2021, we knew we would be in excellent hands. We were immediately treated like family and knew we weren't just another customer to not only Lisa but to the entire staff of Lighthouse Cove/Hyatt. Since all of our guests would be traveling from NJ to DE, we wanted to make it a weekend-long event, which Lisa worked her magic to make happen. A beautiful bonfire on the bayside the night before, a fantastic reception, and brunch the following morning. Everything was organized perfectly and went off without a single worry on our end. On the day of the wedding, we learned that our cake from a local vendor did not arrive. Lisa and her team worked to try and contact the vendor to no avail. With little to no time left to get it done, Lisa and her team quickly resolved the issue and had a cake ready for the ceremony. Our guests said the cake was amazing and had no clue it wasn't the planned cake until we told them. Now for the venue... perfect, perfect, perfect. The Hyatt itself is easily one of the best hotels in the area and has consistently been our go-to place to stay. The view of the bay is unmatched. Our ceremony was on the deck and was set up perfectly, the pictures are phenomenal. During the cocktail hour, the pre-function space was a huge hit. During the reception, having access to the main ballroom, pre-function area, and deck with firepits gave every guest a choice of location for what fit them best. The food was incredible and went above and beyond our expectations. All of our guests commented on how amazing the cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres were. And the crab cakes?! The best you'll find in the area. Overall we could not be any happier with our day. Lisa, Hannah, Maeson, and Jacque (plus all of the other wonderful staff) made our wedding dreams come true and we will forever be a part of the Lighthouse Cove/Hyatt family!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
