    Jackie is the best coordinator!

    We loved having our wedding here and Jackie (the venue's coordinator) is far and beyond the #1 reason why. She is SO kind, communicative, knowledgable, helpful, detail-oriented, and dependable. Give this woman a raise! She helped keep us organized and promptly answered any questions leading up to the event, and guided us through things the day of. She was so attentive and kind, like when I spilled my drink on myself as soon as I sat down for dinner and she immediately went and got me a replacement. She even left us a heartfelt handwritten note in a gift bag in the hotel room. It was really nice having a wedding where most things were provided by the venue (linens, candles, an aisle runner, etc.). It was like 102 degrees the day of our wedding and the Sierra Ballroom's A/C was great - stayed nice and cool. We chose the bigger ballroom instead of the cute Grand Pavilion because it had more room and were glad we did. We had 130 people and it felt nicely filled up, but not crowded. We were able to pay a little extra to have our wedding go until 11pm which was nice. We didn't love the food at the tasting but Jackie assured us it would be better for the wedding, and it was! The food was good and a lot of people said they liked it a lot. Super convenient having a wedding at a hotel where everyone can stay there. And you can hit up Sutter St. after too!

    Stress free and flawless

    Ashley, Jackie, and the entire wedding team went above and beyond to make our wedding memorable and flawless. From the rehearsal to the rehearsal dinner, to the reception setup and dining team, there was not a single detail that was not perfectly executed. I cannot possibly express how wonderfully perfect they made our wedding. We don’t have to worry or stress about a single thing. We expressed our wants for the wedding and the entire team worked together to provide us with a special and stress free celebration. I cannot say enough good about them

    THE dream venue.

    Lake Natoma Inn is THE perfect place for a wedding. Jackie and her team are so detailed, prepared, and helpful when it comes to planning and executing your dream day. From helpful advice on navigating which space to hold your event (they have several, versatile options) to providing so many of the necessary things for a weddding (tables, chairs, linens, plates), Lake Natoma in makes wedding planning feel less burdensome. Their food is amazing, their execution is top notch, and Jackie's personal help from beginning to end ensures you do no go into the wedding stressed. We are so thankful for the space Lake Natoma Inn provided for our day. We could not have picked a better space

    New Years Eve Wedding

    Jackie Mendoza was excellent at helping plan my New Years Eve Wedding!!!! This almost all inclusive venue made planning easy, low stress and perfect. The food was delicious and because I did a late night wedding Jackie worked with me on a non traditional style menu of hors d'oeuvres. Jackie also worked with us to choose the right bar option that would be most cost efficient for our wedding. The night of the wedding she showed up, made sure everything was set up and ready to go and made sure I was Introduced to the staff that was working my wedding.

    Perfect in Every Way

    We could not have asked for a better experience than what we had with Lake Natoma Inn!

    I have a friend in the wedding business and called her in a panic when my daughter gave me 3 months to plan her wedding. None of the venues I was looking at really felt like “us” and my friend kindly talked me down and suggested I check out the Lake Natoma Inn, among other places. My daughter fell in love on our first visit; it had exactly the vibe she was looking for.

    For her June wedding with 60 guests, we chose the Garden Patio and the adjacent Sutter Room. It was the perfect venue for us. The garden was beautiful, the property well maintained, the staff attentive and professional.

    Jackie was our assigned wedding coordinator and she was a delight to work with. From the beginning she was transparent with costs and schedules and she kindly and patiently walked us through all of the details, even when we were feeling indecisive. The venue worked with our budget, dietary preferences, and food allergies.

    Multiple guests have thanked us for the invitation and said that this was the best wedding they’d been to in a long time - that it felt just right and so joyful. (Many specifically complemented the food, even the broccoli!)

    Jackie and the team at Lake Natoma Inn were amazing. The food was delicious, the location was beautiful, the staff was so attentive. In fact, I was surprised at how little she and I needed to communicate on the day of the event! Jackie had collected everything ahead of time and we were able to relax and enjoy the day. And what a wonderful day it was.

    Absolutely perfect!

    First off, this venue is beautiful! They really went above and beyond my expectations. The staff were all really friendly and understanding about how stressful weddings are and were fully prepared to take on any task that needed to be done. We had the ceremony and reception in their pavilion room and it was amazing! The food and drinks were all part of the package deal and everything went smoothly because of them. I can not thank them enough for making our wedding day so easy and fun!

    Everyone at LNI was fantastic to work with from Ashley and Erin the wedding coordinators, to the wait staff, to the hotel staff, to Jason who was in charge of our reception. It was all magical.

    We were in the outdoor arbor area. The coordinator and staff were friendly and helpful. The venue is close to Lake Natoma for great photo ops.

    The best day of my life

    Lake Natoma Inn was absolutely amazing!! They blew us out of the water with great service we received from them. From the very beginning from showing us around, till the very end of our wedding night. Erin L went way above and beyond with being our wedding coordinator!! She helped with so many things including knowing what to do with family drama and all sorts of inevitable curve balls. I cannot thank her enough for what she did for my husband and I!! I highly recommend the lake Natoma Inn. Everyone raved about the venue, the food, and the service!!

    This is a must book

    We worked with Ashley and she was absolutely on top of her A game from the moment we looked at the venue to the after the wedding. She walked us threw every step and answered every email even with the same questions I probably asked her a billion times. Lake Natoma inn is a beautiful place to have your wedding. They even do a food tasting- The food went over my expectations and all the guest as well. "The food was amazing" Before we walked out for the Ceremony we met Dave - He really took care of us from greeting us with drinks right after the ceremony to saving us appetizers and had the staff make plates for us so they made sure we ate on our wedding day not once but twice since they sent a nice bottle of champagne and boxes of food for my husband and I. The suite for the night is a must book! Also, they provide pretty much everything and for the price it was honestly a steal. I could go on and on about this venue, but I think you get the point!

    I chose Lake Natoma Inn as our wedding venue after I had done extensive research on many venues in the Sacramento/greater Sacramento area and it is by far the best place I could have asked for! They have many options for ceremony and reception sites and are willing to work with you to make your wedding day amazing! We got married near the gazebo in front of a beautiful fountain with flowers and trees creating the perfect backdrop to say, "I do!" Our reception was in the Pavillion and I can tell you personally that you will fall in love with the draped ceilings and chandeliers! These physical features made our day special, but the truly incredible thing about this venue is its amazing staff! I honestly can't say enough about the staff here. It's impossible to do justice to Erin, the director, or Dave, our banquet captain, in words. They are both incredible and I am so glad that I chose LNI as my venue because of them! Erin is the director at LNI and she is fantastic! Every detail throughout the entire process was handled with excellent care, organization, and professionalism! Erin was wonderful with communication and planning throughout the whole process! She has this whole wedding thing down to an art and made sure our ceremony went smoothly and exactly as planned. Our banquet captain, Dave, was just as wonderful! From the moment I met him, he made sure that I was relaxed and taken care of and made it clear that he would do anything to make sure we enjoyed our special day! He and his crew did not disappoint as they managed and ran our reception. They made sure that everything was taken care of -- Dave made sure we each had whatever we wanted or needed throughout the whole day. Additionally, the food was wonderful and our guests loved it! Thank you to Erin, Dave, and the whole staff for making our special day as incredible as I dreamed it would be! I can not say enough good things about Lake Natoma Inn and I would highly recommend it to everyone!

    We chose Lake Natoma Inn for a multitude of reasons, but having reflected now on our ceremony and reception, we are even happier that we chose Lake Natoma Inn for our wedding! We had many guests coming from out of town, so it was wonderful to have a central location for everyone to stay (and such a great location in Old Folsom!) and with such easy access to the ceremony and reception! We had our wedding outside and it was so beautiful and romantic! They had flowers planted over and above the flowers we purchased from the florist, and it was so green and spring-feeling. Our reception was right next door, and EVERYONE commented on how good the food was! Ashley was our wedding coordinator and she was very helpful and accommodating. Dave was the head server during the reception and we could not have been taken care of any better! When we got back to our room, the staff had put together food for us (complete with utensils to eat with!) so we could enjoy a meal before going to bed. The venue was great for both the ceremony and reception, but the value is even better! I looked at other venues in the area, but Lake Natoma Inn provided a fantastic wedding experience at a very reasonable price which allowed us to invite more guests. I'm not sure there is a thing I would change about how our wedding went. Thank you to Lake Natoma Inn staff, especially Ashley and Dave!

    Lake Natoma Inn and their Staff did an Excellent Job from Start to Finish for us. We have been staying at Lake Natoma Inn for the last 6-7 years when we travel to Folsom. This is what made us decide on having our Wedding and Reception at Lake Natoma Inn. The Wedidng Coordinator Julie, Pat (Director of Sales, All the Hotel Staff (Front Desk) and Banquet Staff were Awesome. Very Attentive. Always followed up and kept in contact thru all our planning stages. Lake Natoma Inn and Folsom Area Surrounding is perfect-more to see, do all in walking distance.

They had a back up plan when the weather took a turn for the worse and it was still beautiful. The food was delicious and everything went accordingly. Thank you Erin and everyone at Lake Natoma Inn!

    We just had our reception here in October 2015. We worked with Julie throughout the whole process and she was very helpful and knowledgeable. I was a DIY bride so she offered up ideas, etc. when needed. They were very accommodating to changes as well. The food tasted great - even a lot of our guests raved about it too. The staff was also very helpful and nice and made sure the groom and I had food, drinks, etc. Overall everyone did a great job in making our reception awesome! I would definitely recommend Lake Natoma Inn to anyone looking for a venue. Especially their "Pavilion" room. With the draped ceilings, chandeliers, and new carpet, it definitely has an elegant wedding feel. Plus, it's walking distance to the Folsom bars after :)

    We had our wedding at the Lake Natoma Inn this August, and we could not have been happier with our choice! I researched 50+ different venues all over Northern California, and given what we were looking for (outdoor garden ceremony site, indoor banquet room, and guest accommodations at the same location or close by), LNI was the clear winner for both quality and value. What we didn't expect was that the staff were also OUTSTANDING, leading to a stress-free wedding planning experience and perfect wedding day!

    Erin was our wedding coordinator, and she was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout all the wedding planning. She was also terrific on the wedding day itself: friendly, calm, knowledgeable, flexible, and making sure everything ran smoothly.

    We had a number of special requests (dietary restrictions, timing, etc.), and the LNI staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Given how many weddings we know they do, we were impressed with the great care that they take for each and every couple!

    We had our ceremony on the Patio (a beautiful garden, with greenery and flowers everywhere), and it was breathtaking. At first, the little paranoid part of me worried that we might hear outside noise from the pool (it was a hot day), hotel guests, cars, etc...... but we didn't hear a peep! It ended up being sheltered/secluded enough that we felt like nothing existed apart from our wedding.

    The banquet food was delicious and an amazing value, and the bar package prices are excellent too. Rooms had all the amenities and were reasonably priced.

    The main downside is that they are open to doing multiple weddings in one day, but the spaces are separate enough (and they stagger the timing), so I don't think it would cause any issues. Luckily, we were the only wedding that day (a Sunday), so we didn't even have to worry about it, and the staff was extra flexible with timing, space, etc.

    We could not have been happier with our LNI experience!

    The Lake Natoma Inn was the perfect setting for our wedding, reception and as a hotel for our out of town guests. The outdoor patio setting for the ceremony was beautiful and the reception area was immediately adjacent to the patio. All our guests raved about the great food at the reception. All of the staff with whom we worked were very thorough and professional in their jobs and also fun to work with. We highly recommended this venue.

    Lake Natoma Inn is a great place for your event. All of the staff that we encountered were very friendly and focused on making me and my husband happy with the services they were providing. They have two beautiful ceremony sites. They give you the freedom to decorate however you'd like and to also design your own meal choices. I also loved how they provide a complimentary room for the bride and groom and offer discounts to guests who choose to stay there as well.

    This venue has absolutely nothing wrong with it! I have no complaints what-so-ever with them! Erin is an absolutely wonderful director of weddings. She will help you anytime, anywhere, with anything you need! I couldn't possibly imagine my wedding going smoothly without her! I am so grateful for Lake Natoma's Services! I would recommend this place over and over again!!
