We loved our ceremony! Greg was awesome to work with. We were able to personalize our ceremony. He as perfect.

I worked with Martha at the Long Beach Hyatt. She was always nice and responsive but a little too formal so I never felt really comfortable discussing things or prices with her. I sent my husband instead. The venue was great, it was the perfect size. We had the Beacon ballroom on the second floor. The food was hit and miss and the serving size was small. At least several guests commented afterward that they were still hungry. I even had guests ask the waiter for more but they were denied even though we were charged for at least 4 guests not showing. I don't know why they weren't given the plates that we already paid for. My husband and I thought the dinner tasted great- we served beef tournedos and shrimp but again, it was hit and miss with our guests. Some that were really close to us said it was blah but other's seem to like it. Again, we thought our meal was perfect and delicious..but perhaps we were served the special plate or something. The dinner captain was great.


The only real complaint I have is the checkout process the next day. NO kidding, it took some of my guests nearly 2 hours to check out because they were using the Costco gift certificates. Apparently, you can't use those on wedding-related rooms.


Oh and one more pet peeve, they double booked my guests, saying that they only had 1 king bedrooms although my guests had requested 2 queens- and way in advance. Some of our guests for instance, these two couples, decided to share rooms. This guest in particular also happened to be pregnant. Her husband and two other guests ended up sleeping on the floor or the cot :( They apologized and sent up a bottle of wine but I still think that wedding guests who reserved blocked off rooms should be given priority at the hotel. They should have upgraded them to a suite or something else besides chocolate and champagne.

Jenny's flowers were exceptionally beautiful. They were right on with what I had envisioned for my wedding. Her work impressed me the most out of all the vendors. The only thing I didn't like was my cake. It looked like someone forgot to decorate it and at the last minute threw some left over flowers on top. It looked nothing like the picture I gave her.
