When Angela and Andrew began planning their wedding, their hearts were set on a celebration in Oahu, Angela’s home. However, one very important family member changed their plans: their dog, Winston. To ensure Winston could walk down the aisle by their side, they traded a flight for a drive and found their perfect “mainland Hawaii” at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach.
A Slice of Hawaii in Orange County
The Hyatt Huntington Beach is iconic for a reason. With its Spanish-inspired architecture, sprawling courtyards, and direct bridge access to the sand, it offers that “resort-style” luxury that feels worlds away from the city. For Angela and Andrew, the venue provided the beachy, tropical vibe they craved without the logistical hurdles of international pet travel.
Winston’s Big Moment
Including a pet in your wedding adds a layer of joy that is hard to replicate. Winston didn’t just attend; he was the guest of honor. The Hyatt’s pet-friendly grounds and expansive outdoor lawns made it easy for him to be part of the ceremony and portraits, proving that you don’t have to sacrifice your dream aesthetic to include your four-legged best friend.
Coastal Elegance Meets Tropical Roots
The ceremony took place on one of the resort’s stunning ocean-view lawns, where the Pacific breeze served as a nod to Angela’s Oahu roots. Between the palm-lined paths and the sunset portraits on the beach, the day was a seamless blend of classic Southern California surf culture and refined island elegance.
Andrew and Angela’s day was a beautiful reminder that home isn’t just a place—it’s the people (and pups) you share it with.
