Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Reviews

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.
