Inexpensive ceremony venue?

Hello lovelies! Long time watcher, first time poster. :D

The man and I are going to have a small ceremony with just family and close friends before heading off to our reception (held elsewhere). I'm looking for a unique little venue that will hold about 60 people for a quick ceremony. We'll be getting married in December 2012. We don't need an officiant. We aren't particularly religious but won't rule out any churches or chapels. We live in the SW metro and are willing to travel anywhere within "the loop", i.e. the 494/694 circle around the cities. We'd like to spend less than $500 and would prefer to have seating included in the price.

If any of you have any suggestions or great ideas, we'd really appreciate hearing them. Many thanks!!

    Where is your reception? That might help us think of ideas...

    I really wanted to use Schaar's Bluff Gathering Center but didn't know if there'd be enough room for everyone. It's gorgeous and really cheap, too! I'd also check city parks. For instance, we're having our ceremony at the Muriel Sahlin Arboretum in Roseville. It's $325. I understand that you're getting married in December but it's just something to think about! Parks often have indoor places too! Try nature centers! Good luck!

    Thank you so much Lady! Schaar's Bluff is exactly the kind of place I'm looking for. I really appreciate your suggestion!

    Yay! I won't lie, I am slightly jealous! Isn't it just so gorgeous, modern and affordable? Dang! Good luck, J.

    Just wanted to say that is so cool. We were on the verge of having our wedding there, but didn't. I hope it goes well, I thought it was a super-beautiful place!!
