Adrienne was excellent to work with. From start to finish she was attentive to our needs, finding solutions to our concerns and providing us with a perfect evening for the wedding rehearsal dinner. Everyone was very impressed with the room and the food was excellent. I highly recommend Jake's Catering.

Timeless Location with Excellent Food
Jake's and the Sentinel Hotel will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Our wedding weekend and reception was perfect. This was such a classy, beautiful, and timeless setting for our reception. We had cocktails in the Library and the reception in the grand ballroom.
We also had all pre/post wedding events (bridal luncheon, rehersal dinner, and brunch) at Jakes. The food was great for all the events, and the service was beyond exceptional; the staff was so attentive and professional. There is a f/b minimum, but their dinner options and buffets are better than most as far as what you can get for $50/plate. Working with Adrienne and the staff was the best part. Adrienne made sure everything was set the way we wanted, that we would meet our f/b minimum, and made herself available to answer any questions or to set something right. If you are looking for the perfect downtown location for your wedding or event choose Jake's Catering at The Sentinel Hotel. The rooms are stunning, but more important the food is excellent and the staff is great.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful
Our experience with the Sentinel was top notch! We worked with Diane from start to finish and she made sure we were comfortable, had all our questions answered and that everything was seamless and beautiful for our big day. They especially worked with us when it came to our menu as my husband has many food allergies. They took everyone into account and made sure all our food was perfect for all our guest. The day of staff was incredible and made sure everything ran smoothly! Thank you so so much! We couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful and well ran venue!

Absolutely Recommend!
Diane & her team at Jakes Catering were more than accommodating to our requests. She and her team were able to source everything we requested (including, but not limited to.. vegan options, halal meat) for a party of over 300 guests. Diane was always responsive and helped us enjoy a stress-free wedding celebration. She went above and beyond in helping us identify the right vendors and details of our DELICIOUS meal!
Would highly recommend them for their professionalism, quality, and their desire to go above and beyond to accommodate our requests. THANK YOU!

Surprisingly Affordable Elegance
To be honest, when my fiancé and I were on our way to meet Kirsten to view Sentinel's event spaces we planned on saying thank you but no thanks. We just didn't think it would be in our budget. Kirsten walked us though the 2nd floor billiard room and library, explained what was included in booking with them and asked us our budget. She said that was doable. My husband was sold right there, that day. After receiving quotes a couple of business days later, I was on the same page; Especially with it including our preferred dinner choice, tacos (which were delicious by the way)! Kirsten is so kind, responsive and helpful. It was like working with one of our closest friends.

Kirsten, the Catering Sales Manager, is the sweetest, kindest person and made working with Jake's the best experience. We utilized a newer service Jake's offers for food catering pick-up, which was very easy to use. We placed the order and day of everything was packaged up for easy transport. We did a picnic wedding so ordered sandwiches - which included individual bags of chips and huge chocolate chip cookies. We also had a very pretty fruit display and multiple picnic salads. Kirsten was always quick to respond and was very helpful with our changing wedding plan. My now husband and I cannot wait to renew our wedding vows in a few years and use the Sentinel's Library for a beautiful party. I highly recommend Jake's!

We hosted our wedding reception at the Sentinel, and we couldn't have been happier with the venue and the team at Jake's. Kirsten was wonderful to work with—warm, patient, resourceful, organized, and insightful. We had our cocktail hour in the Renaissance Room and a dinner reception and dancing in the Grand Ballroom, with a total of about 200 guests. The food was excellent, the bartending solid, and the venue beautiful.
We rented an ivory drape to cover the stage in the Grand Ballroom, chiavari chairs, and some gold accents—but no further rentals or external decorations were needed; the space is gorgeous as-is. If you're looking for a classic vibe and a venue that doesn't require lots of external rentals, consider the Sentinel!

By far the best decision I've made was having my wedding at The Sentinel with Jake's Catering. My guests still rave around how beautiful the ceremony/reception rooms were and how amazing the food and staff was. I literally did not have to worry about anything the day of the wedding. For example, someone had mentioned in passing my husband liked cherry coke. When we got to our table there was a cherry coke waiting for him. We also had a couple of guests with pretty severe tree nut allergies. The banquet team made sure they let these guests know exactly what was in the dishes and had nuts off to the side instead of in the dishes. Kristin, my Sales Catering Manager, was responsive and just in general amazing to work with. Seriously, if you want a stress-free wedding, book with Jake's Catering at The Sentinel!

Loved every single thing about my experience with my wedding venue! The staff at every level was incredible to work with. The food was amazing , I got so many compliments from my guests.
Of course the ambiance is second to none in the city of Portand... My ceremony was in the library (120) guests and I loved the intimacy & beauty it provided. We then moved to the Grand ballroom with a live band and DJ, rockin' the house there for the reception. I loved that the spaces were ALL mine for the entire day for set up (rare to find at wedding venues). This is a "turn key" operation and made for a stress free day with all the service I was provided. If you are considering this venue, "book it!" You won't be disappointed!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
The Sentinel is one of our favorite hotels, Jake's catering is fantastic, and this is one of the greatest indoor venues for a Portland wedding large or small!
