Robert and I had an intimate and simple brunch wedding. We invited those closest to us and Tom and Peggy took care of the rest. We had about three sit-downs before our event and went over the details so we did not miss a thing. I was not prepared as Peggy mentioned several things at every meeting that I failed to think about! It was so nice knowing that someone was there who had done this before and had items at her venue just in case I forgot something. I really took the worrying out of all of it for me. I truly got to enjoy my day. By the time the day had arrived, we were calm and excited. Peggy and Tom were there for every need and we felt as if we were getting married at our family's house. It was such an intimate time for us. The venue was gorgeous and the most beautiful one we looked at. We are so blessed to have had the O'Malley's as part of our wedding and friends for life. Thank you, Peggy and Tom, for making our day an unforgettable one.

Lovely venue
Peggy just made my wedding planning so much easier. She and Tom were accommodating and offered lots of ideas and suggestions for my event. After touring the place, I instantly fell in love with the overall look of the venue - big oak trees, beautiful gardens and a place to dance!

Beautiful venue!
The venue is beautiful. The ceremony location is the perfect spot if you want some trees and mountains. You do not feel like you are in Atascadero. For us the weather was prefect in August and there was always a slight breeze.

Anna and Graham,
Working with you two was a breeze! We loved how your day turned out - relaxed and beautiful, full of family and friends. We are so pleased to have been a part.
Peggy and Tom
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.
Thank you, Portola Inn! We enjoying being apart of your couple's special day and thank you for referring us! Us at Kramer Events feel that Portola Inn is an excellent choice for venue if you're looking for a beautiful option that offers both indoor and outdoor event space in a gorgeous wooded setting!
