Hey everyone! I'm writing from Colorado... but planning a wedding in California. We would like a beach wedding. Ideally we could find a hotel that does weddings on the beach and has ballrooms or whatever for receptions. A package including ceremony, reception, food and possibly drink would be wonderful. We're looking for something in Southern California... maybe Malibu, Santa Barbara, Newport or Laguna. But we need to find something priced reasonably. We are on a budget. We're not restricting our options to a hotel though, so any ideas are welcome. We are planning 75-100 guests and for next summer. 
Please let me know if you have any ideas and thanks in advance!
