Inexpensive venue on the West Side

I know, I know, I may be asking too much!  I'm looking at a Saturday in January 2013 with the ceremony on the Loyola Marymount campus.  We'll have a lot of OOT guests, so I want to keep the reception site fairly close, preferably within 8-10 miles.  We're looking at between 100-125 guests and are hoping to keep rentals/food/beverage under $7 or $8k or so total.  On- or off-site catering is fine.  Any recommendations? So far I'm interested in Culver Events Center, but nothing else has really caught my eye.  Help me, knotties!

    Are you or will be an alum of LMU? It might be worthwhile to check out thier on-campus special event venues. I graduated from USC and they have some amazing wedding packages, but doesn't help that FI went to UCLA.

    Check out the Culver City Senior Center. The building is new (less than 5 years old) and they tables and chairs are included with your rental fee.

    Check out the Smog Shoppe in Culver City.  Not sure their cost but I think it's pretty reasonable.  http://smogshoppe.com/

    Melissamather, I WISH Smog Shoppe were in my budget!  They charge 4-5k for the venue rental only, and you bring in ALL your own rentals, catering, etc. It's insanely popular which doesn't help.  :)

    Has anyone had experience with any of the art galleries or photography studios in Culver?

    Wow.  Really?!  I feel like so many weddings that I've seen there seem more on the budget/ DIY side.  Sorry. :[  http://www.culverevents.com/weddings.html

    Found that... might be worth checking out?

    In case anyone is wondering, we booked the Culver Events Center this past weekend!  The website could use some updating, but the price is phenomenal and it's a very cute little venue with super helpful staff.  I'm very excited!  Thanks everyone for your input and help!
