Facilities and Capacity

Voted one of the most romantic hotels in the country by Historic Hotels of America, the Paso Robles Inn offers couples a fairytale setting for their dream wedding day. The hotel's expansive grounds are home to four unique indoor and outdoor event spaces—all tucked away just steps from the excitement of Paso Robles' charming downtown square.

  • Grand Ballroom (Banquet Style Capacity - 250 Guests | Reception Style Capacity - 350 Guests) A local landmark, the Grand Ballroom is the only building that remains from the original El Paso de Robles Hotel which opened in 1891. This distinguished reception hall has since been restored to its turn-of-the-century grandeur, boasting the original oak hardwood floors, wainscot paneling, high beamed ceilings, and light fixtures typical of the era's extravagant style. Having withstood the test of time for over a century, the Ballroom inspires memorable weddings and more importantly, marriages that last a lifetime.
  • The Gardens (Theater Style Capacity - 250 Guests) Exchange vows beneath the bough of the Inn's centuries-old oak tree in our famed central gardens. Bursting with sun-soaked greenery, colorful koi ponds, manicured lawns, and a sparkling stream, the gardens are a natural choice for picturesque ceremonies and wedding photos under California wine country's endless blue skies. The Garden is dog-friendly. Please contact our team directly for more details.
  • The Patio (Banquet Style Capacity - 50 Guests | Reception Style Capacity - 80 Guests) Nestled along the edge of the Inn's beautiful gardens, the shaded outdoor Patio is the perfect place to host intimate group gatherings like rehearsal dinners, cocktail hours, and farewell brunches. Where California casual meets al fresco elegance, the Paso Robles Inn patio features awning coverage, heaters, crackling fire pits, and delicious locally-inspired menus from The Steakhouse.
  • Matador Room (Banquet Style Capacity - 50 Guests | Reception Style Capacity - 50 Guests) Situated upstairs, this is a flexible space that can be set for many types of wedding celebrations including intimate weddings, rehearsal dinners, post-wedding brunch, and cocktail events.

For full customization of your day, this venue welcomes outside vendors. This gorgeous downtown wine country location is also pet-friendly.

Amazing Rehearsal Dinner Spot

We got married in Paso last month and hosted our Rehearsal Dinner at Paso Robles Inn. For starters, it's one of the most beautiful locations in downtown Paso. A number of our guests stayed there and all loved their accommodations. Roxan and her events team were great to work with and really helped walk us through all our options. The food was so great, and the service was stellar as well.

Beautiful outdoor venue for welcome dinner

We had our welcome dinner for our wedding at the Paso Robles Inn, and cannot say enough good things about it! We held the dinner on the back patio for about 85-90 guests. The spaces was beautiful! We had some tables set off to the side and up in the grass, which was perfect for friends and kids. We had a Mexican buffet and sangria, which our guests loved. There was more than enough food to go around, and it was delicious. The staff was helpful not only on the night of our welcome dinner, but throughout our stay during the wedding weekend. We would highly recommend the Paso Robles Inn for events like this!

Accommodating

Rebecca at the Paso Inn is very accommodating. She very very quick to respond to emails and answer all my questions honestly. They also have no hidden fees and have been very straight forward with pricing which has helped us stay within our budget. They have been wonderful and we are lookin forward to having our reception there.

Taffy is an amazing wedding coordinator. She organized my entire wedding for me and literally wanted me to sit, relax and enjoy my special day. I would definitely reccomend this venue for anyone that desires to have an amazing wedding.

We chose the Paso Robles Inn for our wedding ceremony and reception, and we're very glad we did! We live outside SLO County and about two hours from the venue, however, this was not an obstacle for planning the wedding. The Inn is extremely reasonably priced for the SLO County area when it comes to rental price, food price, and the level of service - these were the three main factors that lead to us choosing it as our venue. Plus, the garden is naturally beautiful - as is the ballroom - meaning little-to-no decor was needed to make it feel "wedding ready."

We worked specifically with Taffy G as the venue coordinator. Taffy was friendly, extremely responsive to e-mails, and answered all of our questions. We went through the venue the day before the wedding, with all tables and chairs set up, to make sure that everything looked how we wanted it to. She was also present on the day of our wedding to oversee the event staff, and make sure things were running properly on that end.

We would definitely consider the Inn for a future event, and highly recommend it to others.

Our wedding rehearsal dinner was perfect. From the moment we arrived, the staff took expert care of us. The room and table setup were exactly as requested. The food was delicious and the amounts very generous. The venue easily handled our large group. In the weeks before the event, the staff was responsive in answering all my questions. It could not have been a better experience.

It's a beautiful venue. The staff was very accommodating to our last minute changes. It may look small but it holds a large group. The best part was that they did everything for us.... setup and take down.

This was a perfect location for a rehearsal dinner! It would also be a fantastic place for a wedding party to stay if you are planning a wedding at any of the beautiful wineries in Paso Robles!

We planned our wedding reception at the historic ballroom at the Paso Robles Inn, and would HIGHLY recommend this location to others, especially those looking for a larger venue at a reasonable cost. We initially looked at winery locations for our reception, but a variety of factors led us to the PR Inn. Compared to wineries, the PR Inn ballroom was VERY reasonable from a price point, and while you have to use the PR Inn's restaurant for catering, the food options were perfectly good and price-wise were comparable to other caterers. Key overview:
1) Event planner Carla Ruano was incredibly kind and VERY flexible. We changed our mind and asked a variety of questions numerous times and Carla never seemed fazed. We were able to drop some items off up to a couple days before the wedding, and Carla was awesome at coordinating this.
2) Price - as already mentioned was VERY reasonable (compared to other venue options).
3) Venue itself: the ballroom is a very classy location and fits up to 250 people (although at that number would not accommodate a dance floor, so dinner tables would have to be moved to make that happen). We had 160 people and that was a great number for the ballroom to still accommodate a dance floor and not feel too crowded. MANY people commented on how beautiful the building was, so it turned out to be a great alternative to a vineyard setting. Plus, with evening weather hard to predict in Paso Robles, everyone was comfortable in the ballroom, especially the older generation. The foyer to the ballroom is also a great room for cocktail hour and accommodates a good-sized bar. If you can't make a beautiful vineyard setting work, at least the PR Inn is very conveniently located in downtown Paso, within walking distance to other restaurants and tasting rooms and the great park downtown.
4) Food: Great! To be honest our expectations were high but not over the top. We had filet mignon and salmon, and we emphasized our desire to have the filet cooked medium-rare. I loved my filet (yes, I actually ate at my own reception!), thought it was cooked perfectly, and several others commented on how well the filet was cooked. Not many people had salmon and we heard it was good, but it was the filet that got the raves. We also asked for a late-night appetizer (grilled cheese sandwiches!) to be served after cake (and after people had consumed a few beverages...), and even though the Inn had never done this before they easily made it happen and it was a huge hit! (highly recommend to others out there).
5) Drinks: we utilized the corkage fee option for bringing in our own wine/sparking wine. Beer and hard liquor must be purchased through the PR Inn, and beer is only served in bottles (no kegs). Staff is very flexible on the bar options depending on your wishes/budget, and so we opted with beer/wine and 3 specialty cocktails. Very happy we added the cocktails and the final bill was not as steep as we were anticipating considering it was an open bar for 160 people!
6) Service level: we had several people comment on the high service level during the reception. Staff was pleasant and helpful, with no complaints (that I heard of).
7) Rooms: the nice part about having a reception at a hotel is the ease of accommodations for guests (i.e. able to walk to your room after partying). Staff at the hotel were great at working with us to block off rooms and coordinate filling up the rooms above the ballroom (there are 12 rooms above the ballroom that are the nicer spa rooms, and to keep the party going until 11pm instead of 9:30 then your wedding guests must occupy all 12 rooms). While it was harder than anticipated to get these rooms filled up, we made it happen. The few comments I got back from guests were that the rooms were very nice and comfortable.

Downsides:
Even with the best venues there are a couple downsides, so here are the few for the PR Inn:
1) the need to fill up the 12 rooms above the ballroom to keep the party going until 11pm (especially if your guests are on a budget)
2) lack of options for colors on linens (only black, white, and ivory options) - not a problem for us but we might have opted for something else if there were other options.
3) ...that's all I've got!

Amazingly, as a native from Paso I didn't think this venue would be good and didn't look into it for a while. Finally decided I would to check the pricing, and can't emphasize enough how happy I am we ended up using the PR Inn for our reception - was even better than I imagined!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
