My husband and I booked the Renaissance Room at the Sentinel, run by the wonderful Jake's Catering Team, for our wedding reception—and it was everything we dreamed of and more! From start to finish, the process was seamless and organized, and every single person we worked with was not only reliable and professional, but also incredibly warm and kind. The food was phenomenal, and the service on the night of our event was truly 10/10!
A very special shoutout goes to our Sales and Events Manager, Abby. She went above and beyond for us—from patiently answering all of our many planning questions, to making sure we had a beverage in hand, to even snapping Polaroids of our family as we waited to make our entrance. Her thoughtfulness meant the world!
The space itself is absolutely stunning and speaks for itself, which made decorating on a budget so easy. Renting the Renaissance Room was also very affordable, especially considering everything that’s included. We couldn’t recommend this more—it was truly the perfect experience!

The Tualatin Hills Swim Club recently held our Awards banquet for our team at the Sentinel catered by Jake’s and I can’t say enough about how fantastic the experience was. With over 400 guests in attendance, we had some big logistical challenges, but the team at Jake’s handled everything with incredible flexibility, professionalism, and top-tier responsiveness.
From the very first inquiry, they were quick to respond to all of our questions and provided clear, detailed information to ensure we were on the same page. As we started to finalize plans, our needs changed a few times—whether it was adjusting the event schedule, managing a larger-than-expected turnout, or even adding another table at the last hour. The venue staff didn’t hesitate to accommodate us at every turn, and they truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was set up exactly how we needed.
What really stood out was how well they understood the unique needs of a nonprofit event. They were sensitive to our budget constraints and worked with us to make the event possible without sacrificing quality. The entire process felt like a true partnership—every question was answered quickly, every change was handled with grace.
The venue itself was perfect for our needs—spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The staff was always present and available, making sure everything ran seamlessly, without disrupting the flow of our event.
I highly recommend Jake’s Catering to anyone planning a large-scale event, especially for nonprofits. Their level of service, dedication, and commitment to making our event a success was truly impressive. It’s rare to find a venue that is as flexible and accommodating as they were, and it made all the difference in creating a memorable evening for our swimmers and their families!

My wife and I got married at The Sentinel Hotel in downtown Portland during Winter 2017. A requirement, which we didn't mind at all, was that Jake's Catering would be providing food for our wedding reception. As most-anyone in Portland knows, Jake's has a world-class reputation for offering some of the best food in Portland.
I am happy to report that Jake's Catering EXCEEDED our expectations. The buffet they provided was delicious. The food was the most-talked about item by our guests. Everyone was raving about it. We had the flank steak, baked Salmon, and Chicken. The flank steak melted in your mouth. the chicken was juicy, and the salmon was perfectly prepared. We couldn't have been happier.
We also felt there was huge value to our investment. The prices for Jake's Catering food was comparable to the rest of the city's catering and event prices. So, basically, you're getting the BEST food and venue for a regionally-reasonable price.
Finally, we really enjoyed working with Julie Weiss, the Sales Manager. She was so friendly, down to earth, and a joy to work with. She made herself available to us on weekdays, weekends, morning, afternoon, and evening.
Highly recommended.
