Hyatt Santa Barbara

I looooved it! All went to plan and everything was perfect! Thanks!

Everything was exactly perfect.

The hotel was wonderful, all staff was so accomodating, and our coordinator Sarah was the best!

My husband and I very recently hosted a Morning After the Wedding Brunch at the Hyatt and it was absolutely fabulous. The brunch ran from 9 until Noon and it was continuously refilled and made to look fresh by the servers. The setting was lovely in a room with a balcony looking over at the ocean. The food was really delicious and the price was very reasonable. It would make a beautiful wedding venue, too. We would highly recommend it. Pat Younce

Everything turned out so beautifully. There is no possible way it could have been more perfect. Our wedding was truly a dream come true! Thank you so much Sarah Cassesso!

I have not one complaint of having Hotel Mar Monte host my ceremony and reception venue. Sarah was great to work with, they are very flexible and really focused on making you happy. My experience was outstanding. All my guests raves about the food, said it was the best dinner they have ever had at a wedding. I would have to agree, although i can't recall how the food taste because i was floating on cloud nine. I would highly recommend hotel Mar Monte to anyone

Hotel Mar Monte and their staff were amazing to work with. Everyone, esp Sarah at Hotel Mar Monte were always helpful and a joy to work with. They helped made my wedding weekend in Santa Barbara PERFECT. Thank you for making our wedding so special. I recommend them to anyone who is thinking of having their wedding at Hotel Mar Monte.

DO NOT BOOK YOUR WEDDING HERE! We booked our wedding reception here and went over the contract very carefully. Only after the signing of the contract did the hotel specify that they had a minimum amount that you had to spend on food and beverage (not in the contract anywhere) and that a cocktail style reception was not possible due to the "poor reflection upon the hotel" stating that smaller food quantities would project a poor image of the food portions in the catering department. My stylish, mingling, cocktail style reception idea came crashing down and we eventually backed out of our contract at a cost of $500.00 just because of how rude they were to us. The wost part was that my family and I had booked several rooms at their hotel and they would not transfer our deposit in any way. Our service was horrible except for a few wonderful individuals who made all the difference (not management). A good value for the area but expect sub par service from most and horrible service from the wedding / catering department!

It was a great experience working with Sarah and the rest of the staff at the Hotel Mar Monte. The service was outstanding! Highly recommended!

Working with Sarah at the Hotel Mar Monte was great. She went through all of our options with us multiple times--from candle arrangements to napkin folds to chair covers, etc. She worked to make sure everything was right that evening, and it was. She referred us to a great florist, DJ, and chocolate fountain company, all of which were familiar with the venue, which was perfect. We got married at a very busy wedding season in Santa Barbara and once or twice I wanted a return email faster than it came, but overall she was very responsive and definitely accommodating, even to changes the week of the wedding. I am very glad we chose to have our reception at the Hotel Mar Monte and am thankful that we got to work with Sarah.

Everything was perfect! Sarah did an AMAZING job! The food was excellent!

Food was amazing, the wedding consultant (Lindy) was so helpful and sweet, beautiful location. The room we chose (Vista) had a patio outside that faces the ocean so it was great, but the ceiling was pretty low. The staff left a little to be desired... they stole some of the roses that we brought in and cut them and used them for their own floral arrangements in the room - the roses had been designated to go in the bridesmaids bouquets so we were short of flowers. The bartender didn't tell the guests that it was a hosted bar for well drinks so people would order 'stoli' and wonder why they had to pay. And the bartender put out a tip jar - unfair because a 20% gratuity was included in our bill for all alcohol, so the bartender was actually getting tipped double - VERY TACKY!!!! I was mortified.

I had the most amazing experience with Hotel Mar Monte and Sarah to be specific. This was one stop shopping. They handled almost every aspect of our wedding. I swear it must have been the most stress free wedding ever. Sarah and Lindy did an excellent job of coordinating everything so I never had to worry that things were going to get done. Its a wonderful venue. It is a very old world santa barbara feel.
