We had the most amazing experience hosting our wedding at the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach! The location is absolutely unbeatable—right on the beach with breathtaking views, and just steps away from great restaurants, shops, and activities for guests of all ages. It was the perfect destination for both our wedding day and a full weekend of celebration. The Sky Terrace view is amazing. A huge part of what made our experience so special was working with Cassandra (Cassie). She had recently been promoted to her role, but you’d never know it—she was incredibly professional, responsive, and a true joy to work with. Cassie really listened to all of our concerns during the planning process, and by the time the big day arrived, every single one of those concerns had already been handled. Thanks to her, the day ran smoother than we could have ever imagined. We can’t recommend the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach and Cassie highly enough to any couple searching for a beautiful, well-run venue with an exceptional team. It was everything we hoped for and more!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started working with the Marriott, we have had the best experience. We worked with Jenna, the sales manager, a lot and she was also so responsive and helpful with anything we needed. I honestly was not stressed the week of the wedding because I felt like she was so helpful and trusted her to make sure all of my requests were met. She even came to our welcome reception to greet our guests and hand them drink tickets. A few weeks before the wedding, we met Dan, the banquet coordinator, who was absolutely fantastic and so helpful in helping us envision our room set up. He stayed the day before our wedding to set up the room early and it was flawless. He stood at the door of our reception when guests arrived to help direct them to their seats. His hard work and dedication to what he does was truly evident. I feel that Jenna and Dan truly went above and beyond to ensure we had our dream wedding. Joanna was also very helpful with our wedding room block as she is very responsive and quickly assisted with anyone hotel room needs for either my guests or myself. All of the hotel staff including front desk, valet, bartenders, servers etc were also amazing throughout our stay. We got SO many compliments from our guests about how welcoming, friendly, and helpful all the Marriott staff was. Even the maids were amazing and so warm and welcoming. From the moment we arrived at the Marriott for our wedding weekend, we were greeted by Wilmer, who was beyond helpful is unloading our car and transferring multiple items into our hotel room and he was present throughout the weekend to assist us with any other needs we had. Also, Rick and Ricardo were amazing bartenders, super friends, accommodating and truly helped to make our wedding into a full weekend event full of fun and everlasting memories. All in all I could not have asked for a better weekend with the support of the Marriott!! I would recommend this group to anyone and hope to be back to visit again soon!
