Flawless, Perfect,

We had our wedding at lighthouse on 7/15/2023. It was absolutely the most perfect day!!! The venue is GORGEOUS and so much space for only the wedding— a ballroom, a prefunction (picture giant open room with all windows on two walls, and the entire deck. Perfect because there was a backup indoor space/plan but we didn’t need it. The staff treated us like royalty. And the food was DELICIOUS- everyone said it was the best wedding food they ever had. My husband and I are foodies and were SO impressed. Also, our 2 year old golden retriever was able to be in the ceremony :). The staff did beautiful with setting up and for future brides— this venue decorates AND tear down for you so everyone can truly enjoy themselves. 10/10 I wish I could relieve this day over and over

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!!

Beautiful Venue

My husband and I had our wedding at The Lighthouse Cove Event Center on 7/8/23 and it was the best experience! The view is perfect and all the employees went above and beyond to make our day perfect. We had so many guests call days later saying how good the food was, and how much fun they had. I would highly recommend The Hyatt as your wedding venue!!
