Rural lakeside wedding in Southern California?

You can contact Christian Brothers Retreat - Mont La Salle Chapel, The Condor's Nest Ranch or Culver Event Center - you might want to also consider having your wedding on a week day

Check out parks that have a large water feature. I don't know if they do weddings, but Pollywog Park in Manhattan Beach has a huge lake. I usually see people doing pictures there. Or, you could try to go up to Arrowhead or Big Bear Lake.

I would look in the Fallbrook area. There are some lakeside venues there.

Thanks- I really appriciate the help :]

I would look at puddingstone resort in san dimas--they let you bring your own caterer and have a nice view of the lake

Or if you want to go extremely inexpensive... check out local parks that have lakes.

This one is in Irwindale and is really pretty, I checked their website and they've held weddings there before. The only downside is bringing in your own table/chair rentals as well as caterer and such.

Rats, if you were looking at Northern California, I might have an idea. Shoot.

PM me with your email. I can get you in contact with the golf course I work for in So. Cal. We have an amazing wedding venue and the setting has our lake to the left. It's well within your budget.

Wow - I sound like a vendor, don't I? lol!

If you're in the L.A./Ventura area you might want to check out Bocaccio's by the Lake in Westlake Village. Not exactly rural, but I think they're fairly affordable for a wedding.
