Just Said Yes March 2020

Need a venue in Southern California!

Achievey, on December 19, 2019 at 8:13 PM Posted in California Planning 0 14

Please help! I am supposed to get married in March 2020 and I am in desperate need a venue. I have about 250 guests (which I have already cut down from a list of 400) and I am willing at this point to go down to 200. I am looking for a nice BUT affordable wedding venue in So Cal for March. Ideally I would prefer to bring in my own caterer as I am Kosher. Venues especially hotels are just so expensive and their numbers don't make sense. I am on a budget and willing to do a lot of things as DIY, but these hotels and some of these venues have exclusive caterers and you must work with them. Are any of you getting married anywhere in the Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, or San Diego areas at an affordable wedding venue. Because it is in March, I would prefer an indoor venue (unless it's in the desert). I would ideally like to have the Chuppah/ceremony outdoors. Any assistance is very much appreciated. Thank you

    I live in San Diego (although not getting married here). A super affordable venue in San Diego is Marina Village. It’s a spot with various meeting/banquet rooms on the bay. It’s older but people like it due to the price and location. Also you can bring your own licensed caterer. There are loads of wedding pics online, IG, etc.

    Coronado community center in Coronado can house the number of guests you need, it’s on the water and you can bring in your caterer. It’s very affordable. I think ~$2000.

    If you’re open to the OC/LA area, I have a spreadsheet with a ton of venues (over 120) on there that you can browse through.

    Welcome to the WeddingWire community, Achievey Smiley smile

    As it can be a little more difficult to find a venue that allows an external caterer due to liability concerns, I would recommend you speak with your caterer and get a list of the different venues they have catered at before! This could provide you with a great list of venues to check out which you know you won't have any issues bringing in your own caterer to.

    Have you found a caterer yet?
