Perfect Spot for Our Fantasy Wedding

The Portola Inn is such a gem of a venue. It is absolutely unique and gorgeous, and Tom and Peggy were so lovely to work with. Our October, fantasy-inspired wedding was beautiful and we're so glad we had it at the Portola Inn.

Beautiful and Charming

Portola Inn was everything we were looking for in a venue and more. From the gorgeous views and charming landscaping, to the ample amenities and areas for hosting; Portola Inn was nothing short of magical. Tom and Peggy were extremely helpful through the entire planning process, and ensured everything ran smoothly and efficiently. We are forever grateful to Tom and Peggy, and to the beautiful Portola Inn!

Best venue in the Central Coast

Our wedding was amazing, I still cry thinking about it. Tom and Peggy worked with us to help make our day perfect. I can't thank them enough. Everything went so smoothly I was able to relax and enjoy the wedding (and eat!). I can't thank them enough.

Portola Inn is always a pleasure to visit. Tom & Peggy and their entire family of staff are welcoming to all guests. We have had several opportunities to visit this venue on small and large occasions and every time we smile and walk away remembering a great experience. We love how they recognize the vendors onsite with their own plaques and take huge pride in working with every one of them. Even more fun is how we at The Groves on 41 are often inspired by something the O'Malley's have done and fun to see we can sometimes even inspire them. Thank you for your community outreach and involvement, we love being companions in this wonderful industry and environment.

Portola Inn is a lovely venue with so many location options - the oak tree ceremony location is stunning! The owners are a pleasure to work with and take pride in creating a stress-free day for their couples. Plus it's close to town so you don't have to worry about guests navigating the narrow winery roads late at night.
