Small wedding package in Socal

You can look into hotels and see what they offer. All inclusive venues have 5 figure minimums for food/beverage that you must meet so that will not work with a low budget. If you are willing to sacrifice the all inclusive aspect you can possibly make it work. Browse the wedding planners on Instagram to see if they can help you out such as AnythingbutGray and 3LittleBirds which are in the L.A. area.

So Cal is expensive so look into joining a Sun-Thur night wedding.


Ojai Valley Inn & Spa is gorgeous but you’d want to negotiate a good hotel room deal because it’s a pricey resort.
In Temecula, Ponte, South Coast Winery and Carter Estate are all nice winery resorts. Keep in mind, the vineyards are in bloom June-September but it’s also expensive. Definitely Sun-Thur wedding. Weekends require a 2-night stay.

So they don’t offer catering or anything, but Shay Meadows Ranch and Inn in Big Bear may be an option for you. They have a few restaurant options down the road for catering options and two large houses on property. When my sister got married there in 2019, they had the entire property from Thursday to Sunday.

We’re getting married at the Kimpton Canary in Santa Barbara. They have a tiny wedding package (10-30ppl) that is almost all inclusive. We’ve had a wonderful experience with their wedding coordinator.

Hi! are you having a micro wedding? I am end of August in SB and trying to figure out what hotels will be doing this spring... thank you!

View Quoted Comment Yes, we’re only having 12 people but they would allow 30 if we wanted.

Thank you! I love that location and the package makes it so much easier! While you were looking for this, did you come across any other hotels or venues that offered similar packages?

Thanks!

The Kimpton Shorebreak in Huntington Beach has all inclusive wedding packages, and it's a great destination location. They would be able to fit well within your budget for 30 people too.
