Lighthouse Cove Event Center

vice and the best safety precautions available. Our day was filled with love and joy and we can not wait to return for our anniversary. If you are getting married in Delaware, look no further.

me I spoke with Lisa, she worked diligently with us to make sure our special day was everything and more, despite the uncertainty in the world. I can’t re-iterate enough about how amazing Lisa is. The day before, and the day of, she was so organized and kept things running smoothly as our coordinater. She Is so incredibly knowledgable of all things wedding related, gave us so many tips, vendor suggestions and more importantly - moral support! She’s so kind and we just loved working with her! The staff was also so amazing on our wedding day and leading up to the day. They also were extremely accommodating when it came to changing the rooms in order to be compliant with COVID restrictions. We felt very safe and our wedding went off without a hitch. As for the venue, it is brand new and so incredibly beautiful with the view of the bay, access to the outdoor deck & fire-pits, and just a block away from the ocean! It was picture perfect. Also have to give a huge shout out to our bartenders - they were so much fun and our guests continue to rave about them! Let’s just say no one was ever without a drink in their hand and had the best time ever! We decided to make a week of our wedding since both families traveled 3+ hours and the Hyatt provided such amazing hospitality as well. It truly was the best week of our lives. Hannah ensured we were well taken care of in our condos and also included a few surprise cheeseboards and wine upon arrival! The wedding itself was so stress free for us, the staff set up/broke down everything and made everything feel so seamlessly put together! If you’re looking to have a stress-free beach destination wedding experience you NEED to check out Lighthouse Cove, you will not regret it!!!!!!

t the service the day off was incredible, the food was amazing (we still have friends telling us how good it was!), and the experience was everything you could ask for and more during a stressful day. Thank you to everyone at Lighthouse Cove for making our wedding day the happiest day of our lives <3

hey were very responsive and responded to the pandemic with great professionalism. The food was AMAZING and service throughout the day was just as great. All in all the Hyatt helped our vision come true and I highly recommend their venue and hotel for your beach wedding and reception!

, without Lisa, I don't know how we would have done it. In addition, the staff is wonderful and great to work with. They are the most friendly, helpful group of people I have ever met. No request was ever a problem for them. Everyone commented on how good the food was at both the rehearsal dinner and wedding. My husband has commented numerous times since the wedding what a class act it was. The bartender Chris and, I believe the other gentlemen with him was Brandon, were two of the nicest people I've ever met. They made you feel like you had been friends for years. Everything ran so smoothly and, if there were any glitches, we never knew about them. Even though they said they had nothing to do with the gorgeous weather we had, I think somehow they even managed to arrange for a beautiful day. We will definitely recommend the Lighthouse as a venue.

anticipated needs we didn’t even know we would have! They recommended all local vendors for flowers, music, photography and desserts and we weren’t disappointed! Everything was top-notch. Our guests can’t stop talking about how much fun they had. Many of our guests stayed at the Hyatt after the party. The beds were extremely comfortable and the free breakfast in the morning was a great spot to gather and reminisce about the amazing party the night before. I highly recommend having your dream wedding at Lighthouse Cove. You won’t be disappointed!

ere our friends and family gathered and ate delicious hors d’oeuvres to the opening of the grand ballroom where we were greeted with an amazing sit down dinner. All of the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day and wedding ever. Lisa helped us with every detail to plan our perfect day. Hannah kept all of our out of town guests happy with our room block. Lisa, Drew, Pete, Chef and the entire banquet team made sure every detail was absolutely perfect the day of the wedding. I can’t thank the entire staff enough for making our dream wedding a reality. Every single detail was absolutely perfect. We recommend the Hyatt Place and Lighthouse Cove Event Center 100%. If you’re looking for great service, a beautiful new venue, beach sunsets, delicious food/drinks and a wedding that your guests will rave about then this is the venue to choose!

hts as opposed to 2), but Hyatt Dewey did honor the lower rates once we brought it to their attention. Just would have liked to avoid the back and forth!

a few times prior to the wedding in person with lots of email and text. She even comped a night for a room when she had to reschedule our meeting since we were 3 hours away. We did have a little trouble with slow communication and had to reach out a few times. The other hiccup we had was the fact that our dinner space layout was given to us 4 days before the wedding. I had already done our table seating at that point. So, it made extra work for me to redo seating to accomodate her specific arrangement. We had very arts seating arrangement bottles. So, it took some time. She was on top of things day before and day of .... she made our vision come to life and was on top of everything. Where we gave her creative liberties...She shined! She acted as our wedding coordinator as well. From the big to the tiny details...she made sure to leave no rock unturned. Our florist left us without some flowers,was unavailable to put up flowers, did not give proper hanging tools, and gave NO direction to our wedding coordinator... Mary Beth still pulled it off! A couple things that frustrated me...the venue pulled almost half of her staff the day before and during our wedding day to work at the local bars that they owned. For paying $10,000, you would think that our wedding day event that was booked 10 months in advance would take priority...Not Mary Beth's fault...That was the powers that be. I would make sure you get a guaranteed # of staff in your contract. We were told 10 and got 5. This pulled Mary Beth in multiple directions and made it difficult for her to do her job. My other issue was that the wait staff went on auto pilot and took mine and my fiance's plates when we got pulled to the dance floor for first dance, when we came back they were gone! This was literally right after dinner. Mary Beth said they do 2 hours after service, which did not happen...they took it sooner. I also didn't appreciate the excuse that couples typically don't get to eat on their wedding day because they are running around. Nothing ruining our wedding over, but frustrating because I had to beg the kitchen to bring me some leftovers that weren't quite what I wanted. (I'm hypoglycemic). The front desk staff was amazing...always attentive. Everyone was very accomodating to our request to incorporate our dog into the wedding and reception. They also left a cute arrangement of towels in the shape of a cake with flowers and hearts made out of material in addition to two bathrooms with our married name on it! GREAT PLACE! Recommendations....don't hesitate to pester Mary Beth if you need to...she often forgets to check email or respond. Also, make sure you get a guaranteed # of staff and the layout in advance so you can do Table #s. Also, I would specifically request that your food is NOT touched at all or if it is request that they ask before taking it. Also, they snag your champagne glasses right after toasts, whether you drink out of them or not...They say they've had issues with them breaking before. They did kind of make up for it by leaving those same glasses in our room with a full bottle of champagne. I'd recommend them.

ests to stay, two reception rooms, a great selection of food from their on site caterer with a variety of price points, as well as a few options for outdoor beach wedding ceremonies and a rain contingency plan- just in case! Mary Beth, the event coordinator, was very helpful, especially in the hectic week leading up to the wedding. On the day of, she worked with all of our vendors to make sure everything went smoothly, and even kicked out a few wedding crashers later in the night! We would definitely recommend the Hyatt.
