Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa Reviews

Shaunna at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort and Spa has made this process easy so far. She has been helpful and has even made time to schedule a meeting to go over little details. My fiance and I are excited to get married here December 2020. I know we are in good hands!

I have always loved the Tamaya and it was one of the first places my husband and I looked when choosing a wedding venue. We got married at the Sunrise Amphitheater with the gorgeous view of the Sandias behind us. The Tamaya has an amazing team who are all incredibly nice and helpful. We planned our wedding from outside of New Mexico and having Shaunna’s help made all the difference. Our guests also loved the Tamaya — particularly hanging out at one of the many outside patios and the firepit. I would recommend the Tamaya to anyone looking for a beautiful venue where the people work to create an event that is tailored for you.

We had to plan our wedding from California, so we couldn't be in person all the time for figuring out all the arrangements. None of that was ever a problem thanks to Shaunna and her team at the Hyatt. She worked with us on everything, number of guests, budget constraints, even post-ceremony photo locations on the property. The value you get from this venue is fantastic. The food was great and family friendly, Shaunna was beyond responsive and helpful, and she found ways to give us extra value, explained limits they had and never tried to up sell us on anything. She just helped us figure out our vision for our wedding and reception and made it as easy as possible. I couldn't be happier with how things turned out and we were extremely worried being out of state. If you are looking for the best balance of value, ease, and beauty, the Hyatt Tamaya is the place to get hitched in ABQ.

Shaunna our wedding coordinator was AMAZING! Our wedding was more beautiful than we imagined! Shaunna Skrondahl was available at all times. During our wedding day she made sure every thing was perfect. There were things we forgot that she took care of immediately. The Hyatt regency cotton wood was exactly what we wanted and was beautifly maintained. Our pictures do not do justice on how beautiful everything came out. We recommend Hyatt Regency and shaunna to anyone looking to get married. It couldnt of been any better. Was a fairy tale come true.

We worked with Shaunna who is well experienced and made sure our wedding day was perfect! We had our wedding ceremony outside at the Sunrise Amphitheater and had dinner outside under the pergola. You cannot beat that VIEW of the mountains and the sunset; it is truly magical! Everyone from the bellhops to upper management, from the time I arrived, was very attentive and accommodating. I never wanted to leave! My husband and I stayed an extra day and enjoyed the pool and restaurants. If you want a destination/vacation wedding vibe while still being close to the city, this is the place to go!

To start, I chose this venue for two main reasons - the gorgeous views at the Cottonwood venue (not to mention its private) and that it is the perfect mix between outdoors/indoors and easily accessible for out of state guests. The staff was always honest, available to communicate with, professional, and friendly. I have no regrets about choosing this venue and would highly suggest others to choose them as well!

Tamaya was incredible! The beauty and views were breathtaking, and the service was exceptional! I had no stresses the day of the wedding since everything was done efficiently and correctly. I couldn’t thank anyone more than Shaunna for making my day special since she is the event coordinator “mastermind” of making sure everything was done precisely, and was super friendly and helpful! I would highly recommend this location not only for the beauty, but for the incredible service.

Highly recommend the Tamaya resort! Our wedding was better than we could have imagined. Shaunna was outstanding from start to finish. She was responsive and flexible as we both lived out of state which made some planning a bit complicated. The sunrise amphitheater was beautiful and required no decorations. Our family and guests raved about the food and overall atmosphere.

Our wedding was everything we could have hoped for. Shaunna made the planning process so easy and enjoyable. She was so responsive to our questions and was more accommodating than I could have asked for. The food provided by the chef was stunning, 5 star quality. The resort is gorgeous and hardly requires any decoration to make your ceremony picture worthy.

Absolutely wonderful experience with the Hyatt Tamaya. Shaunna was our point of contact/coordinator through the Hyatt and she was incredible. She was very good at quickly answering our many many questions (sorry for all the emails Shaunna!) She had many wonderful suggestions and insights in addition....she didn't just only "answer questions" she helped come up with quite a few of the ideas and solutions! It was a picture perfect day, and so many friends and family kept coming up to us with pure amazement saying everything surpassed their expectations. The Hyatt was also very accommodating with the meals (all of which were very delicious). A few of our guests had either food allergies or dietary requirements (ex: not just vegetarian, but vegan....or needing dairy free or gluten free).

If there is one thing I would've done better, it would've been to be less conservative with our room block, and to understand the Hyatt's room block policies a little better. With another wedding and/or convention around the same time, the hotel ended up selling out of rooms (about 2 or 3 months ahead of time) for the Thursday before the wedding (a Saturday). A few guests that came in early had to hop between hotels....not the end of the world. We had been very conservative at first, (with the Hyatt requiring 90% of the rooms in the block to be filled), but after the Thursday sold out, we amended our room block to a higher number for the Friday/Saturday nights (I think committing to 60 rooms?) and the Hyatt dropped our percentage of rooms needing to be filled to only 80%....we didn't know that was even a possibility, so definitely ask questions. If you can, talk to close friends and family way ahead of time and get good numbers of who is planning on staying at the Hyatt so you don't run into the same problem we did.

We had our ceremony outside by the Sunrise amphitheater and then bussed out to the cottonwoods for the cocktail hour/reception at the Cottonwood Pavilion.

The Tamaya was the perfect venue. The location at the cottownwoods venue was amazing, went with our theme perfectly, and seated more than enough people! The staff was friendly, consistently checking in, and were very attentive.

I couldn't be happier with the Hyatt Regency at Tamaya. Our daughter was married at the Cottonwood Pavilion and it was absolutely perfect. It's such a beautiful oasis in the desert. We couldn't have picked a better venue. From the food to room reservations, Shaunna, the hotel coordinator, made sure no detail was overlooked! She even helped us surprise our daughter with a horse and carriage. Everything was so wonderful and ran so smoothly. It truly was a magical day!

This venue was amazing. The staff was very attentive and flexible. They basically planned it for us. Shaunna did an awesome job as our liaison

The Tamaya is a phenomenal location for a wedding venue. My husband and I were married at the Cottonwoods. It was absolutely perfect! The venue provided our out of town guests with a taste of New Mexico, and added entertainment. Also the Cottonwoods provides intimacy for you and your guest. Not to mention breath taking pictures.
Shaunna is absolutely amazing! We had an issue with our florist, and Shaunna didn't bat an eye to try and make sure I didn't worry about anything! The rest of the staff are extremely accommodating as well.

My husband and I recently got married at the Tamaya cottonwood pavilion in May of 2017. It was like out of a fairy tail. Shaunna, one of the consultants for the hyatt was very professional and helped take a huge weight of me (the bride) during the planning of the wedding. She worked flawlessly with my wedding planner and other vendors to give me a truly fairy tail wedding. The food and staff were fantastic and the day ran so smoothly, everything to time perfectly. People let feeling like they were transported to a fairtail and I am still getti g complements saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I am 100% happy with my choice in venue and if I could do it all over again I would do it exactly the same way with nothing different.

Had it not been for our amazing service from Shaunna, we probably would have gone somewhere else for our wedding. Shaunna was absolutely wonderful and made all of our day beautiful! The campus speaks for itself and produces some of the best pictures you can imagine for a wedding. The staff was great throughout the entire night and even saved my piece of cake when they realized I hadn't eaten it, being a distracted bride. At the end of the night, they brought it out for a midnight snack for me! We had the best experience possible, and our day was just perfect!

My daughter was married at Tamaya in May. It was amazing. Shaunna was great to work with and helped us with all of our last minute adjustments. The food was great. Staff was helpful and professional.

We had a fairytale wedding! We got married in May before the busy season and loved the Sunrise amphitheater but weren't crazy about the ballrooms for the reception (which are normally paired together). They were super accommodating and allowed us to have the reception at the Cottonwood Pavillion, which was perfect, secluded, and had a great atmosphere. We had a buffet dinner and the food was outstanding (the artichokes! Wow!!). The staff was very friendly. Shaunna, our event coordinator, was friendly, organized, and put our minds at ease! We can't sign off here without mentioning the amazing views! Our pictures came out fantastic! We know we made the right choice with the Tamaya and would do it again!

Tamaya is the perfect place to have your wedding in New Mexico! My husband and I were married here on April 29th and we were very pleased with the overall experience. From day one to the wedding day, the staff at Tamaya were fantastic, making sure to listen to our needs and help us craft the perfect day. My husband and I loved that we could have a wedding at a hotel without the hotel feel. The food is out of this world and their multiple wedding venue options allow for flexibility when planning. On the day of the wedding, we woke up to snow and freezing cold temperatures but the staff quickly eased our worries and made sure to run the day without a hitch! Having a wedding here is worth every single penny!

Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort and Spa was absolutely amazing. We could have not been more happy with our choice of venue. Food and service was great and our views of the Sandia Mountains' were amazing. Everything ran as smooth as can be on our wedding day:) Thank you Shaunna !

We could not have been any more happy with our experience at Hyatt Regency Tamaya! Everything about our special day was perfect.... From the planning, communication, activities, how professional the staff were, you name it. Shauna and the staff made us feel like royalty. We got tons of compliments on how beautiful our day was. Tamaya was the perfect getaway for our family and friends. For the multiple days we stayed there, we were easily entertained. There is something to do for everyone.
Wedding day was so smoothe and coordinated, which made it stress free. Could not have been any more fairy-tale like and affordable at that!!!!!!

Absolutely phenomenal service at an absolutely beautiful location! We have felt so listened to and relaxed throughout the entire process! Would highly recommend!

My husband and I really enjoyed having our wedding at Tamaya last year. It was a very beautiful location and the staff was wonderful! They were very professional and organized. We told them what we wanted and how we envisioned everything and they took care of everything for us! I would highly recommend having your wedding at Tamaya. Beautiful location and wonderful staff!

I could not have imagined my wedding any better than what Lyn and Eric helped me do at Tamaya.
The Cottonwood venue was better than I dreamed, and the permanent structure that was just recently built is perfect so that you can stay in the cottonwoods atmosphere. They were extremely professional, and were willing to do anything that I requested. The price was great for all the services that were provided. The they have a horse carriage.. do it. You will NEVER regret it.

Our daughter and son-in-law had their Fairy Tale wedding. Our coordinator was top notch. Handled every detail especially those last minutes ones. Setting was PERFECT. Reception was perfection. Food was the best ever. Was worth every penny to see our daughter's WEDDING DREAM come true.
