Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina 1441 Quivira Road • San Diego • CA 92109

Set on the tranquil shore of the bay, the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina affords fabulous views wherever you look. It also offers a variety of event spaces—from grand ballrooms to a verdant garden patio to a sunny seaside embankment—that will satisfy any couple's desires.

Start with the private Banyan Court and Lawn, a landscaped venue featuring a spreading banyan in the center of a courtyard, ringed by flowering shrubs and water views. Banyans, which symbolize "wish fulfillment" and "eternal life" throughout India and Southeast Asia, make a fitting backdrop for exchanging vows and celebrating a union! There's plenty of room on the expansive adjacent lawn for cocktails and dinner, followed by dancing under the stars. Wedding album alert: The wooden bridge in the court is a charming spot for photos.

If you prefer a ceremony site with the sun sparkling on the water, tie the knot on the Bayside Lawn. From here, it's a short walk to the Bayview Ballroom. Grand in scale, the room boasts floor-to-ceiling windows framing a wide vista that transitions from a colorful sunset at dusk to twinkling lights across Mission Bay at night. An adjoining terrace (also available with the Mission and Palm Ballrooms) creates an indoor/outdoor flow.

The hotel has another option that truly elevates the indoor/outdoor experience to an upscale and glamorous level: The Regatta Pavilion will make you forget anything you ever thought you knew about tented venues. Lushly draped and fully carpeted, the pavilion is a unique, romantic setting where up to 500 guests can revel beside the bay.

Planning a smaller-scale gathering? There are plenty of options for you, too. One of them, The Cabanas, is an intriguing spot for an event-in-the-round. A series of raised, open-air cabanas surround the perimeter of this outdoor venue, which provide seating during the ceremony, or conversation-friendly groupings during the reception.

Hyatt Regency Mission Bay is a great destination for your out-of-town guests: They'll dine splendidly (the catering staff uses the freshest ingredients in deliciously innovative ways); they can be pampered at the spa; there's an award-winning water playground on site; and the hotel is close to a wide range of attractions. And for you, the newlyweds, the perks don't end with the wedding—in addition to receiving a complimentary bridal suite, you actually earn reward points from your event that entitle you to free nights at any Hyatt worldwide for your honeymoon!
