Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa Reviews

Ceremony/Reception were held at the CA Courtyard & the Vista Ballroom. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL location and amazing food!

Sooo many compliments from our guests. Cheryl Martin & her staff are phenomenal!!

The Hyatt Regency is a gorgeous place to host a 50th Wedding Anniversary. The view is great, the food is excellent. Mark and Martha at Hyatt Regency were extremely responsive, helpful, and flexible. They constantly checked to see that everything went well. The event was fantastic, and yet very affordable for the excellent site , food, and service that we received. Great place to host an event.

My wedding was on 10/3/15 and I worked with Courtney Braz - she was amazing to work with (positive, responsive, always so helpful) - I really can't say enough good things about her. The venue was GORGEOUS and photographed so well - I can not express how happy I am with the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach as our wedding venue. Recommend them 110%!

Great Venue. View was amazing! Mark Albitz is awesome!

We were extremely pleased with the Huntington Beach Hyatt as our wedding venue. The resort is absolutely beautiful with beaches right across the bridge, plenty of activities for out-of-town guests on and off the grounds, and an amazing catering staff. They made sure that we were happy with every aspect of the wedding and the way it was carried out. I would highly recommend if you are looking for an elegant chic southern CA beach wedding venue.

Absolute dream venue, and exceptional catering staff! Our August 9th wedding was everything we dreamed and even more. The catering staff was very patient with us throughout the process as our catering needs changed several times throughout the process. They were very accommodating with all of our guest rooms, and our honeymoon suite the night of our wedding was gorgeous.
The grounds were beautiful, the food was amazing, and they drinks were exceptional! This is a perfect venue for any couple ready to tie the knot!

The Hyatt Huntington Beach was a dream to work with. Our wedding and reception could not have been more perfect. We worked with Mark and Courtney and they absolutely made our dream date come to life! From the beginning stages of planning, right up to the gift and champagne we received in our honeymoon suite, My husband and I could not have asked for a better experience.

There are no words to explain how breathtaking my venue was! It felt like Royalty... The Hyatt staff combined with my wedding coordinator made my event so smooth I had no worries or stress! They handled everything perfectly! The place was phenomenal... The view, the weather, the decor, and wow! The FOOD!!! I literally do not have 1 negative thing to say... Worth every penny we spent! I'm just sad the day was over in a blink of an eye!

Beautiful location with excellent customer service and great food! Everyone who works at the Hyatt is super friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend the Hyatt to anyone who is looking for a beach wedding location.

We absolutely loved the Hyatt! From start to finish, the staff was AMAZING. Cheryl and her team made everything go so smoothly and their professionalism is top notch! We couldn't have been happier with the Hyatt team! If we could do it all over again, we'd choose the Hyatt again for sure!

Cheryl Martin from Hyatt was amazing to work with, and really worked with us to create a contract that fit our budget needs. The food was fantastic, and the location/views breathtaking! We had no problems working with Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach.

I first started working with a Catering Manager that was let go 6 months before our wedding. I didn't sweat at all because I was introduced to the Associate Catering Director and he was fantastic. He was way more professional and had the power to make things happened. I called him saying that we outgrew our courtyard that we booked and he changed us to the nicer and bigger courtyard immediately to accomodate us. I had a wedding coordinator and she loved working with him as well. On the day of - i was just impressed how everything ran smoothly and above all SERVICE was OVER THE TOP. You cant go wrong with a 5 star hotel. The food was just amazing as well since we had our food tasting ages ago. They just pulled everything together. Our guests couldn't keep talking about about the service and how delicious everything was. NOT to mention that the bartenders were awesome and did a great job serving us alchohol till midnight. Alot of people say there's way too many weddings at the Hyatt in Huntington Beach but seriously all the ballrooms are secluded and in their own privacy. I didnt bump into other parties at all. Despite that its such a beautiful hotel, the staff is just wonderful. The bellboys/valet boys were really quick and their service was great to accomodate everyone. I stayed at the hotel on Friday night the ony drawback would be my room was really far on the other side but that was due to the time i checked in because all my other 20 guests got rooms that was closer to the lobby-- its because they checked in on Saturday. The hotel was packed with tourists but we still had a lot of privacy. The honeymoon suite was amazing as well since it was oceanfront but me and the girls were lucky to get an oceanfront parlor suite to get ready in too and it overlooked our courtyard that we were getting married at. The weather was perfect, venue was perfect and it really added up to our wonderful wedding. Great experience at the Hyatt -- so great that we all met up the day after for Sunday brunch at Pete's Sunset Grill downstairs and food was really good as well!!

The Hyatt Huntington Beach is a beautiful resort and the view overlooking the beach is gorgeous! :) It had a great ambiance and put everyone in a party mood. :) We loved it so much. The entire night seemed magical. They also provide [separate] rooms for both the groom and bride to get ready for the entire event - which was really nice. We also really enjoyed the provided room for the bride and groom that night as well. It is a very beautiful venue and we really reccomend it. :)

The Hyatt was the perfect venue for us. Our ceremony site was the Lighthouse Courtyard and reception site was the Vista Ballroom. The staff was extremely accomodating and everyone was a pleasure to work with. It is a gorgeous property and I would definitely recommend it!

This is a beautiful venue right on the beach. The staff is very helpful and kind. The food for my reception was amazing. The accommodations were awesome.

beautiful place and good Service.

We couldn't have picked a more perfect setting for our wedding ! Friendly staff , beautiful hotel grounds & great beach front location made for a perfect day !
A big thank you to Mark Albitz from catering for helping us plan our perfect wedding

Beautiful hotel, it is definitely a resort, there is everthing there and everyone is very nice and professional! We loved the outdoor areas and the indoor areas, and the staff was so helpful! It is on the high price end but worth it if you want the beach wedding atmosphere overlooking the gorgeous beach and white glove treatment afterwards!

We had our ceremony at the Lighthouse Courtyard and our reception at the Huntington Ballroom on Sunday during the daytime. We were quite happy with how our wedding turned out, and our catering manager Cheryl was helpful throughout the process. The wedding package includes choices of hors d'oevres, wedding cake, complimentary night on the day of the wedding (not the night before), and depending on how much you spend, free nights at select Hyatt Hotels in the US, Mexico & Aruba. (They may have changed this to any worldwide hotels now).

We wanted a beach setting, and we were really happy with the Lighthouse Courtyard and the tremendous views that it offered. To avoid having the lighthouse & pedestrian bridge appearing as back drop, we elected to place our guest seating at a diagonal, which worked out really well. The weather cooperated, the pictures came out great, and the ceremony went by without a hitch.

The Huntington Ballroom was also a great venue for the reception, which comfortably housed about 200 guests and included a dance floor. We wanted good food at our reception, and we certainly got that. Many guests complimented on the meal as well. Unfortunately, several of our guests got lousy service from this one server and from the valet operator. Once we got all the details on what happened and gave it to Cheryl, she was apologetic and offered the offended guests dining gift certificates at the hotel.

Overall, we were really pleased with our wedding held at the Hyatt except the slight blemishes on service. We would recommend the Hyatt to couples who plan on getting married there, but you do pay for the ocean view and the tasty food.

We loved the hyatt at huntington beach. They were very professional and made sure all our of our personal requests were met. They had great service men/women and the mangement was great. Very friendly and professional. When it was time to take some personal wedding photos, they allowed us into an area that was usually closed off, but had a beautiful staircase that would be a great match with my gown. The setting was surreal and amazing.

We met with the catering sales manager, Cheryl, to tour and review options at this hotel. It was clear that she had already decided we would have a lower budget based on our stating that we would be flexible in time of year or day of the weekend. We never shared our budget with her other than stating that we were flexible. She only planned on showing me two ballrooms that were "a good fit," but when we saw the Vista Ballroom, it was our favorite. She told us to only consider it for Sundays because of the minimums on Saturday, assuming we couldn't afford it based on having no information about us. Then we asked for a high proposal (one with all the bells and whistles on a Saturday night in the Vista Ballroom) and a low proposal (a Sunday brunch), thinking we would land somewhere in the middle. She came back with proposals in a DIFFERENT BALLROOM and low-balled the additional costs and number of people we said we wanted (only 1 hour open bar, etc., only 75 people when we had said 100). When I asked her if there was a reason she didn't make the proposal for the Vista Ballroom Saturday night, she stated, "Well there's a minimum. What else do you want to buy?" We asked for a list of add-ons since the minimum that she thought would be out of our price range is actually mid-low budget for us. She was also very condescending when we were asking about room blocks for our guests and left out key information that would have been helpful to know. We could not get a straight answer out of her what things would cost, so we stopped asking questions and politely ended the visit. The resort itself is beautiful, but we cannot imagine having to try to work with Cheryl again.
