Shout out to Jackie, our wedding day was a huge success! Lake Natoma Inn was the perfect location for us. We held our ceremony in the garden and our reception for eighty guests within the Sutter Room. Jackie and her crew made our wedding a huge success from the beginning to the end.The wedding proceeded as planned in every way. My guests even complimented on how delicious the buffet's food. Although choosing a wedding location wasn't easy, we're glad we made the right choice. Highly recommended!

This venue was so beautiful, I was able to have my dream wedding and it couldn’t have been possible without the amazing Jackie Mendoza, she really made everything go smoothly and made our visions come to life. On top of that everyone in the reception area are also very friendly and the cooks as well very kind to our guest and that was something very important to me. If I could get repeat my wedding, I would do it all over again there. 😊

From day one at Lake Natoma inn we felt cared about, individualized, and like our wedding dream could come true. Jackie (our wedding coordinator) was absolutely amazing from day one to our beautiful day finding and giving ideas to ways to make our vision come true in a way that met our needs and the venues. She explained the process really well from the day we toured, to the day we signed a contract to have our wedding there. We had originally wanted our wedding in Monterey but pricing there was way out of our budget so looked closer to the Sacramento area and Lake natomas inn felt like a good compromise but what we didn’t know was that it would quickly become the beautiful place we always remember as our wedding day. We did the gazebo ceremony site with the reception room attached to it and both the ceremony and reception area are gorgeous alone so you don’t have to add a lot of decorations which helps with all of your other budget. Lake natoma inn is one of the only wedding venues in the Sacramento area that is affordable/doesn’t make you feel like you’re having to ruin your finances to have your big day. And believe me, we looked at so many venues. The suite you can book for the night of the wedding and use for getting ready (which we did and I had 10 total bridal Party members hang out and get glammed for the day of) is absolutely amazing. Our actual ceremony and reception were run so smoothly and a lot of that had to do with Jackie making sure it happened. What I loved the most was our ability to really individualize our wedding and add our touches whereas a lot of other venues provide simple options with limited ability to personalize based on other places we toured. The food was absolutely amazing and we got that feedback from our guests as well. You are invited to a date to taste event included in your package where you get to taste all the food options you can choose for your wedding day and that was a plus. Our wedding day was so magical and beautiful and a lot of that thanks goes to lake natoma inn. We will cherish this memory forever. ❤️

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!

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. There is nothing more I could have asked for

Weird review. But stay with me lol
So we ended up not being able to use Lake Natomas Inn as our venue as we ran into some financial hardships and couldn't pull it off. THAT BEING SAID. This is the most beautiful venue and wonderful energy filled place we toured. Not to mention Jackie is just the most amazing person as well. Through all our ups and downs and even a possibility of pulling it together at the last minute Jackie was absolutely an amazing support system. One thing I've gathered from all of this wedding planning is it is important that you can trust the person you're essentially planning this wedding with and Jackie would've given me the most beautiful day I just know it. The scenery is beautiful, the spaces are so great, but do not discount how important it is to have a coordinator as confident and good vibing as Jackie.
Again I know it's an odd review considering I didn't get to have my wedding here, but really this place was so great I almost feel like eloping since we couldn't pull this place off.

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.

Lake Natoma Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding! Close to the historic downtown Folsom and with a lovely backdrop especially for a fall wedding like ours. In addition, Jackie and her team were simply fantastic from the very first day. They were very well organized, responded quickly and helped to keep the entire process moving smoothly. This was especially helpful considering we only had 3 months to pull off the wedding. There was even a little mishap with the floral arrangement during the wedding and Jackie went out of her way to handle things herself. Just amazing service and dedication! All said and done, we could not have been happier with our experience and would highly recommend Jackie and Lake Natoma Inn to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

Thank you, Jackie and team! This venue is beautiful and Jackie was amazing. She always responded back to my emails ina timely manner, was organized, and helped keep my timing. I was very OCD about timing, decorating, vendors, and our food. She and her team so were on top of it all, so much so that she helped me sneak in a surprise Flower Man and we were 10-30 minutes ahead of schedule up until the reception. If you are looking for a small-ish, intimate wedding with close friends and family this is the venue. All of my guests said my wedding was perfect and I couldn't have done it without Jackie and the staff! Thank you for making it perfect!

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 us 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. 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.

I wouldn't change a thing about our wedding day. It went so well and so much of that was thanks to our incredible venue. Ashley was always there to help with anything we needed. They were extremely flexible with us and the value was excellent for what we got(though disclaimer: we did get a 50% off of the reception cost deal when we initially booked). The only downside was the food, as we didn't get to do any tastings(COVID prevented both of our scheduled times, meaning we had to cancel) so we had to kinda guess what would be good. My husband couldn't eat, as he is allergic to dairy, but they did let us bring in food for him and use their fridge. I also want to mention they were fantastic and attentive during the day as well. Ashley was there for the first half getting everything ready, then she made sure to introduce me to her replacement for the rest of the day. I believe his name was Iris? But I'm not positive. He was an absolute sweetheart and fantastic. I remember finally getting to eat, the sun was right on my husband and I as we sat at our sweetheart table. and before we even had time to think about it, Iris was over asking if we'd like to move to the gazebo in the shade. So awesome.
I also want to mention: The location is lovely. There is a trail right along the lake for pictures before the ceremony and the venue itself, whichever side you use is gorgeous. We were lucky enough to be able to use both sides, as no one else had anything planned that day(Tuesday weddings do have their bonuses!). It was great because we were able to have extra distance available for our guests.

Lake Natoma Inn was such an amazing venue. My wedding was Sept 12 2020, year of COVID. My husband and i were freaking out for months prior to the event thinking we were for sure going to get our wedding cancelled . Although we didn't have as many people as originally planned it worked out well cost wise and we still had around 62 people (not a bad #). The service was amazing. Danny the hotel manager made my sisters and i drinks while we decorated the room the night before (we had a daytime wedding) . He gave me a shot of cognac before i walked down the aisle to calm my nerves! Ashley was so helpful along the way. She would answer all my questions up to the event in an appropriate time. Unfortunately we did not get to try the food before the wedding due to COVID but all the guests said it was very good. I had the time of my life at my wedding. The day went so smooth thanks to the staff. The bartender was great and friendly. For all that was included i think the price was very fair as well. much cheaper than other places i found with all these hidden fees. I cant thank Lake Natoma inn enough for all their hard work. Especially during a pandemic. They made the day feel as normal as possible considering the circumstances.

Fantastic local wedding venue in Historic Folsom. The staff was so dedicated to making our small wedding special. Beautiful ceremony spaces and lots of great spots to take photos on the Lake Natoma trail. In-house catering and banquet staff plus linens included in our price. Thank you Lake Natoma Inn!

This place has the worst customer service ever! My fiancé and I booked our October 2020 wedding and of course with everything going on due to the pandemic we we’re forced to cancel, we didn’t want to but we didn’t have much of a choice. Ashley Country who is the wedding coordinator/ manager didn’t give us many options. We couldn’t even postpone our wedding because their books only went out as far July 2021 and we want a Fall wedding. We did not feel comfortable moving forward with the state that our country is in, but the hotel still wanted us to make payments towards our wedding knowing that we can possibly be shut down at any moment nor can we still have large gatherings at this time. Ashley showed no empathy in our situation and we lost thousands of dollars and still have no wedding. She never called and her only concern was our next payment. She told us if we did not make another payment by a certain date, that means we forfeit at our wedding date.
Who would comfortable tocontinue to make payments towards a wedding or pay a wedding in full knowing that they possibly may not be able to have a wedding? Sounds crazy right?! Well Lake Natoma Inn and Ashley thought that we should. They were the only vendor who did not work with us or give us our money back. I pray that no other couple or bride had to go through what we went through.
***Please do not book your wedding or events here because you will not get your money back. Unless you have money to blow.

We got Married the afternoon of 4/21/2018 and it was absolutely perfect! The event coordinator, Ashley, was wonderful to work with and very accommodating to any needs or requests on our behalf. She is very knowledgeable in the event planning business! It was awesome to have her help guide us through the planning process and she's great at covering all the wedding day details! The banquet captain, Dave, and his team provided exceptional service during the reception and we never had an empty glass! All of our guests raved about how great the food was, in particular the chicken cordon bleu! As a bonus, Lake Natoma Inn provides beautiful scenery for pictures on site. Overall, our experience with Ashley, Dave and LNI was fantastic and we are thankful to say our wedding day was perfect!

When she wasn’t available, Ashley stepped in without skipping a beat. We loved that there was communication between everybody. Dave made sure that all of our needs were met even before we knew we needed anything. Ashley and Kay in reception were so personable and inviting. The staff for our event were very professional. There are not enough words to express how thankful we are for everything Erin and the rest of the team did. Thank you for making our wedding beautiful and memorable.!!

Our wedding reception was just on April 20, 2018. We went to several venues, but from the beginning you could tell Ashley (the wedding sales manager) and the staff were top notch. We had our event in the ballroom and it was absolutely perfect. Any concerns I had, Ashley was right there to accommodate and make our vision come to fruition. Everyone commented on how beautiful wonderful our event was. Our banquet captain Dave was attentive to our every need. I could not have asked for a better night, it was above and beyond our expectations and at such a great price might I add. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Ashley, Dave and the entire hard working and awesome staff at Lake Natoma Inn.

Easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding was having our reception hosted at Lake Natoma Inn. We can't say enough about how they went above and beyond in making our wedding reception a beautiful and memorable celebration for us and our guests.
Ashley is every couple's dream venue coordinator. She is thoughtful, super-responsive, detail-oriented, and a geninuely sweet person. From the beginning of our planning journey, she helped set the framework as we had no idea how to even begin planning a wedding reception. As additional questions came up, and new wrinkles appeared for us to iron out with all of the other vendors, Ashley addressed every one and masterfully worked with our vendors and DJ to make sure everything was in place. We had fresh flowers delivered ahead of time, and she ensured they were taken care of and kept in a cool location. And when we totally forgot things like our table numbers on the big day, she bailed us out!
Our guests complimented our dinner choices, and the service was spectacular! We spent the night there in a lovely room, and our out-of-town guests also got a great rate. There was another reception going on at the same time in a different part of the hotel, but we couldn't even tell.
In summary, we're relieved, grateful, and very happy we went with Lake Natoma Inn; a wonderful experience we'll always cherish.

My husband and I were married at Lake Natoma Inn in November 2017. I had looked at a few other places previously and between incredibly high prices and a lack of customer service, we were beginning to get a little discouraged. Ashley picked up the phone the first time I called and was flexible with meeting me the same day I had called. To top it off, she was incredibly friendly as well as patient with all of my questions. She even encourage us to attend their food tasting the next weekend even though it was meant for booked couples only. We attended the food tasting and were impressed with the food, the service and the ambiance of the Gazebo and the Pavilion. We reserved our date and started planning our wedding!
Ashley kept in touch leading up to the big day and was always full of ideas and insight. We met a few weeks prior to the wedding to create a first draft of the timeline for that day. Her knowledge and breakdown of the day brought things to our attention that we hadn't thought of and reminded us that there were still little details that needed to be sorted out. She was there for us during the wedding rehearsal AND on our wedding day. She made the entire process so easy-our wedding was perfect!
Our Banquet Captain, Christian, was wonderful as well. He was constantly checking in with us to see if we needed anything. He kept our glasses full and even provided us with a few boxes of food since I didn't have much time to eat (this was a lifesaver!). AND, just as we had experienced at the food tasting, the food on our wedding day was delicious! Nearly two months later and I am still hearing compliments of how impeccable the staff and food was at my wedding.
To top it off, we had a lot of out of town guests that had the opportunity of staying overnight at the hotel. My wedding was on a Sunday and many of our friends and family arrived on Saturday. It is the perfect location for out-of-town guests. Plenty to do, within walking distance, for anyone!

We got married here June 24, 2017, and it was spectacular! I had done extensive research before visiting Lake Natoma Inn 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 at the gazebo site in front of the 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! Erin is the director at LNI and she is fantastic! From the moment I met her, and throughout every email and meeting, she made me feel genuinely important and cared for. Every detail throughout the entire process was handled with excellent care, organization, and professionalism! She has this whole wedding thing down to an art and made sure that everything 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 and his staff made sure we each had whatever we wanted or needed and everything we had planned went perfectly! Additionally, the food was wonderful and our guests loved it! Thank you to Erin, Dave, and the whole staff at LNI for making our special day as incredible as I imagined it would be! I can not say enough good things about Lake Natoma Inn and I would highly recommend it to everyone!

Lake Natoma Inn has done so many weddings and they have a great system in place to make sure everything goes smoothly. I worked with a total of three coordinators that were all amazing (the first coordinator left to start her own business, the second had two other weddings that night, so a third took over for her). We also had a "captain" that was with us throughout the whole reception. She was phenomenal! She made sure that we always had champagne in our glass and was there to make sure everything was going smoothly. She helped to set up and to pack up after the wedding. With my family helping with the packing up, I didn't have to worry about anything. They also quickly got us carts to get everything up to our rooms. We stayed in the suites the night before and the night of and it was perfect!

We chose Lake Natoma Inn for a multitude of reasons, but having reflected now on our ceremony and reception a few weeks later, 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!

We cannot say enough good things about Lake Natoma Inn. Julie our coordinator was an absolute gem. It rained the day of our wedding so we were unable to use the outdoor patio for our ceremony. She had the staff prepare an empty room for our ceremony and it was just lovely. She decorated our arch, put down our aisle runner and made sure the programs were placed on all the chairs.
Our banquet captain Dave made sure we wanted for nothing. He keep the entire evening on schedule and made sure all the guests were satisfied.
I would highly recommend Lake Natoma Inn and staff for weddings, anniversaries and any special celebration you may have.

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 (their 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 also 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!

I am so glad we had our wedding at the Lake Natoma Inn. Erin made everything so easy and stress free. The night went perfectly with all of her planning and Dave who ran the night. I would suggest this place in a heart beat to anyone who asked. Thank you Lake Natoma Inn.

This venue was a great location for my wedding. The site was beautiful and easy to locate for all guests. My coordinator, Erin, was amazing. From day one, all of my details were taken care of and anything I needed I received. The event staff was amazing. They took care of my guests and made sure everything was out on time, and even a guest that couldn't make it down to the reception, was made a plate to go. Food was great. The wedding site and reception site were all at the hotel. Their outdoor garden is very pretty and well kept. My wedding was in September and the sun was never a problem for our guests. All around, The Lake Natoma Inn was a great venue for our wedding and my husband and I were very pleased with their services.

I held my reception at Lake Natoma Inn and it was wonderful! All the staff were professional and provided great service! The wedding coordinator Julie Riggs was knowledgeable and helped where needed. The were accommodating with the number of guests I had, originally I was in the smaller room and when we realized we had too many people, they moved us to the larger room. Beautiful location! Loved taking the pictures my the river as well. Highly recommended.

We worked with Erin LoBue, the wedding coordinator. She was amazing! Any question I had she would answer right away, though phone calls or emails. The venue was beautiful, and the food was very good! All of Erin's hard work, and that of the staff, made it a very smooth running day!

Our wedding was more than we could have ever imagined. The hotel was extremely accommodating from the whole year of planning down to the last minute of the reception. We would do it all over again! Our families are still talking about how wonderful everything was weeks and weeks after the wedding was over.

We had both our ceremony and our reception at Lake Natoma Inn. Erin our wedding coordinator, a member of the LNI staff was avaiable through the entire process of the wedding. From booking vendors to setting up the ceremony she was there. When she was out of town a member of her staff got back to us. Erin is wonderful.
Our ceremony was outside in the gazebo site...it was beautiful, 160 people no problem. They let us decorate however we wanted, even their fence and lamp posts.
Reception was in the pavillion. Decorated beautifully and LNI provides all linens and table center mirrors, votives and more. The banquet manager Diane is superb. She is more than any bride could ever ask for.
Only down side is the hotel is on the smaller side. only 104 rooms, they give you a great wedding rate, but for a large wedding you need to book rooms early.

The Lake Natoma Inn is a beautiful venue to have an outside wedding. It made you feel like you are in the great out doors with the majestic trees and the bike trail behind it. Erin who is the wedding coordinator is just the most professional and kind person you can meet. She answers every question that you have even if it doesn't have to with the venue.
I would recommend the Pavilion part of the inn as this is the place that I had the reception. Just beautiful.

My husband and I just got married on July 7th 2012 at Lake Natoma Inn. Everyone from the coordinator to the waiters were fantastic and we don't have anything negative to say. Everything went off without any problems.

Lake Natoma Inn, first of all, is BEAUTIFUL. You have 2 options for an outdoor setting for the ceremony and 3 different ballrooms for the reception. The staff...there are no words for how wonderful they are! They really make your day special.

I had my wedding here in May 2012 and the staff was fantastic! I was in contact with them 9 months before my wedding and had meeting and emails with them all the way up till the day of the wedding. One of the wedding coordinators ran the rehearsal and it ran so smoothly and after only a few minutes everyone knew what they were supposed to do. The day of the wedding, the wedding coordinator kept everyone on time and made everything run smoothly. The staff were wonderful and made sure me and my groom were well taken care of during the reception as well as all of my guests. We were SO impressed with the service! I would definitely recommend them!

We had the pavillion room and It was absolutely beautiful! We had about 60 guests and the room was more than big enough. The food was delicious and the staff were excellent. Especially Dave! He was so sweet, he packed two to-go containers for me and my husband to enjoy later on after the wedding. Everyone raved about the food. We got the lake natoma inn buffet and even our vegetarian and vegan friends loved it! Thank you lake natoma inn

The Lake Natoma Inn was the best choice we made for our wedding. The Director of Weddings, Erin LoBue was with us from start to finish through this process and she was incredibly patient and supportive. Christina Menthe, the wedding coordinator was also available to us for questions and random drop in visits with vendors and friends. This all-inclusive venue with beautiful backdrop was perfect for our May 12 outdoor ceremony. We held our reception in the Pavilion which had an amazing fabric draped ceiling and didn't feel like just another ballroom. For our 140 or so guests, it was spacious and comfortable, even with a photo booth, candy buffet, DJ and dance floor. Linens of any color, full table settings, centerpiece mirror and four votives, champagne/cider toast were included. Our guests raved about the food! We enjoyed it at the tasting as well and it turned out even better on the day of our wedding. You know the food is good when you eat it cold almost four hours later. Definitely consider LNI for your event because you won't be sorry... Congratulations and best wishes for your big day!

Lake Natoma Inn is a fantastic wedding venue! I worked with Christina throughout the planning process – she is great as well. She is super responsive to any questions or emails, and even as the wedding got closer, she was always available for questions or changes, etc. I never felt like a bother to her. They were very flexible on the buffet options as well – we didn’t really care for the lasagna and they allowed us to switch the food out with another option without charging us extra. They really are there to meet your needs and do what they can to make your day perfect. The day of the wedding ran smooth as well – she was there to coordinate the ceremony, and then the banquet manager pretty much handles the reception. They were great in making sure people knew when to eat, checked in with my husband and I throughout the reception to ensure we had everything we needed, etc. They were super attentive and very easy to work with. The food was excellent!
Just a heads up in regards to the ceremony, LNI does not have any microphones for your minister performing the ceremony. Our DJ didn’t have one either, so our ceremony was performed with no microphone, and some guests commented it was a little difficult to hear, as we are close to Folsom Blvd so you could hear some traffic. I’d highly recommend renting a suite (especially for the girls) the night before – these rooms are great, and overlook the ceremony venue. They are spacious and plenty of room to get ready the next morning. Plus if you’re lucky you get to watch a wedding from your room the night before yours. All of our guests staying at the hotel indicated their rooms were great with comfortable beds as well, so it’s great for out of town guests. I would definitely recommend LNI for anybody looking for a wedding venue!

Over priced. The staff were like robots. Breakfast was over $30.00. Smells were horrible, they had barking dogs all night long. Over priced, they charged for water, movies for $18.00 each. Terrible experience! No fresh towels~I do NOT know how this place stays in business!

from start to finish the lake natoma staff and wedding coordiators were amazing. everything we wanted they got us. and no request was unmet. the ceremony location was beautiful and set up way in advance so we could do a walk through and make sure everything was perfect. and the reception ballroom looked absolutely like my dreams! i would recommend getting married here. they also personalize everything so your wedding represents the couple perfectly. our wedding coordiator was Christina. she was amazing and always in contact and never made me feel like a crazy bride. she, herself, is a newlywed so that was fun. becasue she was excited to make our day perfect!!!

I have heard and been a part of so many stories of things that have gone terribly wrong at someone's wedding. I have to say that our wedding at Lake Natoma Inn this October was PERFECT! From the day we signed the contract to the morning after brunch on the patio the staff at Lake Natoma Inn did everything they could to ensure our wedding experience went smooth and perfect. We received many compliments on the wedding food being the best our guests had ever had, and the grounds were just beautiful and clean. I would recommend the Lake Natoma Inn for anyone looking to have a wedding in the Folsom area.
