I had my wedding at Hotel Haya this past September. I was immediately drawn to the gorgeous ballroom with natural light, wood floors, and exposed brick walls. Meghan was very professional and helped us understand everything about the venue when we were first touring. Throughout the process and up until the big day we worked with Logan and she was tremendous to work with as well. Throughout the evening the staff were continuously checking on us, making sure we were happy with how the event was going and if we needed anything. I'm still so impressed I was able to have my ceremony in the ballroom and they were able to flip the room so quickly and so perfectly for the reception. So many of our guests commented on how good the food was too! Can't recommend Hotel Haya enough. The venue is beautiful and the people you work with are very seasoned, professional, and kind.

Hotel Haya was a dream location for a wedding! From the beginning, Meghan was great! She was very knowledgeable and quick to respond to our questions. Once we decided on Hotel Haya, Logan took over the coordination and was amazing to work with. She was responsive and quickly able to help us put together our wedding in under 40 days. We communicated via text and email primarily. We used the Valencia Foyer inside for our ceremony and had our dinner reception in the Roosevelt Room, with private dining and drinks with Flor Fina. It was perfect for our 28 guests! We got a ton of compliments on the beauty of the hotel and our wedding. We booked a suite with a balcony where we did our first look! It was the perfect place for us to read our personal vows to each other in such an intimate space. There were so many beautiful locations for portraits, like a large, luxurious blue wall, the Flor Fina cafe and seating area, as well as the book shelves in the Roosevelt Room. I could not image the stress we may have endured if it was not for these women and Hotel Haya for making this day happen in such a perfect way! Reviewed on 16-07-2023
Gabbie Blankensip(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-06-2022 Oh Hotel Haya.... where do I start? A ballroom with beautiful wood floors, exposed brick, and natural light – how does it get any better? When making the final decision on our big day we knew Hotel Haya had everything we wanted, needed, and then some! When it came to the planning and everything leading up to the most important day of our lives, Meghan made sure everything went on without a hitch and made sure we had so much fun along the way. When we had our tasting, we were pleasantly surprised to discover that the food isn’t just wedding food, it’s truly gourmet. We still have guests raving about how it's the best food they've ever had at a wedding.There are so many pros to Hotel Haya, I could go on and on. The space, the team, the decor, the food, etc. For us another huge perk while having a wedding in June in Florida was having a beautiful place to get ready, heading down the elevator, getting married, and being able to take the elevator back up at the end of the night, all while staying inside the building – totally priceless.Honestly, our big day couldn't have gone more perfectly and I have the team at Hotel Haya to thank!

Pooja Patel(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-12-2022 My husband and I got married in December and I cannot believe how above and beyond the staff at Hotel Haya went to accommodate my requests for our wedding weekend. Meghan was my rock during the entire planning process. She was attentive, responded to emails/questions immediately and did everything she could to help the weekend go as smooth as possible. The entire staff at Haya did an amazing job transitioning from one event to another over the 2 day party. I cannot thank Meghan and staff enough for their hard work and really coming through!

Rachel Gelb(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-10-2022 Where do I even begin?! From the moment we reached out to the final day of our wedding weekend, Hotel Haya was perfection.My husband and I are from Chicago and chose to do a destination wedding in Tampa. Our coordinator from the hotel, Meghan, made the entire process of touring the venue, picking a package, and managing the planning seamless. Seriously - we had a lot of customizations with dietary needs and they had no issue accommodating us. The Valencia ballroom is STUNNING, the food was amazing, room blocks were easy for everyone (and the rooms are beautiful, btw..) I stay at Hotel Haya every time I'm in town now because it's just so welcoming, beautiful, etc. I'd highly recommend having your special day here - the staff was so friendly and I felt genuinely wanted our day to be the best it could be.We are so thankful for Hotel Haya, it was a perfect weekend celebrating our wedding!

Amanda Biery(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-09-2022 I am a wedding planner and my clients just got married here 9/17/22 and I have to say I am so impressed with the quality of service we received and will always cherish how well this venue treated myself and my clients. The food is beyond amazing (not even close to your typical bland wedding food) and all of the staff are incredible. Everything inside the hotel from the floor to ceiling is stunning. Meghan, Logan, Tre as well as the entire service staff were so helpful and professional with everything we needed and had questions on. Logan & Tre were there wedding day helping with anything that was needed and truly helped make this day run so smoothly. A lot of venues don’t typically treat wedding vendors the greatest but Hotel Haya’s staff were so much fun to work with and made the day so enjoyable. 100% will recommend more of my clients to this venue for their wedding. My newly wed couple were so pleased with the service the venue provided them and that’s truly what matters the most but I just had to brag on this team and let everyone know how amazing they are!

Jillian Gutierrez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-11-2021 My husband and I were married at the Haya on Nov 13 and we cannot say enough about how amazing our whole weekend was. We elected to not have a wedding planner or day of coordinator and pooled our resources to plan. Morgan was there for us every step of the way from late night texts to zoom calls. She helped us out in so many ways. Morgan coordinated our rehearsal for us and stayed until the very end of the wedding (which we had to extend because no one wanted to leave). The hotel was immaculate and all the staff were beyond friendly and accommodating. Thank you so much Morgan for making our dream a reality and this is definitely the place to get married in Ybor!
