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.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Oct 2020

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.

★★★★★ — Trudy, Dec 2022

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.

★★★★★ — Melissa, Apr 2020

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 the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to 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?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
