The Hyatt Regency Trinidad, located on the Gulf of Paria, offers brides-to-be a contemporary Caribbean hotel setting for their big day. The team of experienced wedding planners will ensure that every detail is attended to, and couples have the choice of indoor and waterfront view venues which can accommodate groups of varied sizes.

The hotel offers two ballrooms – the 16,000-square-foot Regency Ballroom, which is able to accommodate over 1,600 guests for a reception and more than 1,300 for a banquet, and the 9,860-square-foot Port of Spain Ballroom, which has the capacity to accommodate 1,000 guests for a reception or 630 for a banquet. Both ballrooms offer spacious pre-function areas that can be used for greeting guests and cocktail receptions. Smaller groups can celebrate in the Jade, Ruby, Topaz, Diamond and Sapphire Rooms.

The culinary team will design customized menus with international cuisine and local flavors such as West Indian Pumpkin Soup with Traditional Spices and Coconut Milk, and Seared Catch of the Day on Roasted Carrots, Saffron Cream and Mashed Potatoes. They can also create Caribbean specialty stations featuring Bake and Shark, a Trinidad favorite of lightly fried bread with deep-fried shark and local condiments, and Roti, a traditional East Indian delicacy, featuring Paratha and Dhalpourie served with assorted Indian-style fillings and accompanied by rice and chutney.

Each wedding package offered by the hotel includes complimentary deluxe bay view overnight accommodations for the bride and groom, in-room champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries, a professional banquet captain for the special day, a champagne or wine toast and much more. The bridal party can enjoy pampering for the special day together in the hotel’s Spa Esencia. The special bridal package can be customized to include make-up applications, manicures, pedicures, facials and a spa lunch.
