Ceremony/Reception help!!

BabyPanda1147

Hey everyone! I think my fiance and I have decided to do a small, immediate family beach wedding in southern California this October and then have a HUGE reception next April/May on a cruise ship to the mexican riveria.

Even though we are having a huge celebration later, I still want my actual wedding to be amazing.

Does anyone know of any amazing venues that are perfect for only 12-15 guests?!? I don't want to rent a huge ceremony/reception venue and get charged a flat fee if I am only having my immediate family there!

Any Suggestions or help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

we are getting married at the gazebo at heisler park in laguna. it only holds max. 40 people and the permit from the city was only $235 for 2 hours. they have tons of other locations too if you want to check them out. you can also look at other beach cities and see what their locations look like. good luck

Here's info from three cities. You can always just google pictures of past weddings at these places. And then call the city if you have questions. I originally found the Laguna places on Marcy Ann's website. She's an officiant. You can just google her name for her website.
