Hyatt Place

Buckle up for a wedding that’s got Jacksonville’s hippest heartbeat at Hyatt Place Jacksonville St. Johns Town Center, located at 4742 Town Center Parkway, Jacksonville, FL 32246. Nestled in the vibrant St. Johns Town Center—think 200+ shops, eateries, and entertainment right outside your door—this hotel’s just 1.5 miles from the University of North Florida and an 8-mile jaunt to Jacksonville Beach’s sandy shores. With a team that’s practically your wedding hype crew, your big day gets a modern, lakefront glow wrapped in Southern warmth.

Let’s talk food first, because The Placery restaurant is dishing out flavors that keep your guests buzzing. Picture custom burgers stacked high, gluten-free Caesar salads, or vegan quinoa bowls, served buffet-style or plated to fit your vibe. The 6,572 square feet of event space is where the party kicks off. The Meadowbrook Ballroom, a 3,200-square-foot stunner, hosts up to 200 with slick AV for your killer playlist or heartfelt vows. For a tighter crew, the Town Center Room’s 1,500 square feet cozies up 80 with a chic, intimate feel. The 3,200-square-foot outdoor patio, overlooking Lake Meadowbrook, steals the show for ceremonies or cocktail hours with fire pits and twinkling lake views. Your planner’s got your back, sorting linens, lighting, and even group trips to nearby cigar lounges, so you can focus on stealing that first kiss.

Your guests are crashing in style with 160 rooms, each a roomy haven with 55-inch flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and Cozy Corner sofa-sleepers that make lounging a dream. Lake-view rooms are a hit, offering calm vistas of Meadowbrook’s waters that melt stress away. The free hot breakfast buffet—think scrambled eggs, waffles, and fresh yogurt—gets everyone pumped for the day, served in a dining area guests call spotless. The zero-entry outdoor pool, hugged by lush greenery, is perfect for chilling between events, and the 24-hour fitness center keeps your crew on point. Pet-friendly rooms (with a small fee) let your pup join the party, and group blocks with discounts keep your squad tight. Free Wi-Fi and a $5/day parking fee round out the perks.

Hyatt Place Jacksonville St. Johns Town Center shines with its prime spot and Jacksonville soul. The concierge can arrange beach trips to Jacksonville Beach or a group outing to the Escape Game, just 0.2 miles away, for pre-wedding laughs. Accessibility’s seamless—wheelchair paths, braille signage, and staff ready to assist ensure everyone’s in on the fun. Guests rave about the clean rooms and unbeatable location, though some wish for more breakfast variety.
