From the reviews
I recently got married on 10/10/20 and I decided to change my wedding from 100 guests to 8 guests since both my father and father in law are at higher risk for COVID. Peggy and Tom were so sweet and understanding and were able to adjust my wedding package. I am SOOO happy I chose to get married at the Portola inn.
I held a surprise birthday party for my husband at the Portola Inn. Our host, Tom, was amazing. I never dreamed it could be so easy to make a wildly successful party for 50 with 30 of them being from out of town, but it was. The success was nearly completely due to Tom and his extreme competence and knowledge.
Easily, one of my favorite wedding venues. As a wedding photographer, I see firsthand how different venues work out for photos, etc logistically and Portola Inn just has the absolute best light (especially for the ceremony) throughout the day. Not to mention the endless areas that you can take photos in.
Portola Inn is a perfect venue for a wedding or event. We only had 8 weeks to plan our wedding, (crazy, I know) but Peggy, Tom, and my parents were able to make our wedding day beautiful and perfect. Portola Inn has magical Oak trees that rustle in the wind and colorful gardens that add to the already beautiful venue.
Getting married at Portola Inn
Portola Inn comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
