Okay so I was trying to find a reception/ ceremony cite that was inexpensive. So, I finally ran across this restaurant called Magic Lamp that has a few private rooms. The private room that I am using has a dance floor and a bar in it. The meals are priced at about $32 per person and that's including tax. I still need a dj and a photagraher. Oh I also need a cake if anyone has any suggestions on vendors in the san bernardino county or riverside county.
This is my dilemma, I want to have my ceremony at my church, however, I don't know if that will work. My pastor is a little sketchy on making any kind of commitments with. Plus, I can't afford to pay for any members of my church to go. The private room at the restaurant can be setup to have the ceremony on the dance floor; however, what do you all think of this? The immediate family will be setup in chairs infront of the ceremony while others look from their tables.
If you have any suggestions for churches in the rancho cucamonga area let me know. My budget is really low so I can't afford much. I just don't know how my family will feel about the ceremony being in the same room. My guest count is going to be between 60 and 70 people.
Re: Getting married at Magic Lamp Inn any advice
I don't know djs that cover that area, but I was on my photographers facebook a few days ago, and it looks like he just did an event at the Castaway in San Bernardino, and he does amazing work and really really awesome prices plus he usually gives a discount if you are referred by another bride, tell him Maria D. sent you; corbin kell, www.corbinkell.cc Good luck!
If your pastor is sketchy about committing to wed you, I would find someone else. The last thing you need is him backing out a week before and then you're screwed. I don't know of any churches in RC area sorry. Do you have any friends or family that go to other churches? If all else fails, I think the ceremony would be ok if you had it at your venue.

It helped me narrow down our choices - we're working on a tight budget too.
