Me and my fiance are going ot get married at his church in Redwood City. We are looking for a small affordable, but nive looking reception hall for the after party. We will have at most 40 people at the party. This is my firsttime looking into this kind of stuff, so if someone has prior experiance then I would love some helpfull advice.

If this is the Redwood City you're talking about, I googled some areas that you could rent out. Here's a link:

I live in Virginia so I can't say I have any California wedding experience, but I had my wedding reception in a nice botanical garden right outside the city where we got married. Hope that link helps, and if the prices all seem too much, you might want to ask the parents to pitch in if they're comfortable doing that. Good luck!

If you are talking about Redwood City, CA - try looking for a magazine called Wedding Sites and Services Northern CA. It was great - had tons of places on the peninsula...I mean everywhere from Napa to San Jose. There are some cool restaurants with banquet rooms - I would just go into places near the church or wherever you want the reception to be and ask about pricing. Good luck!

That's in CA right? If yeah, well, hotels are expensive wherever you are. Any parks within 30 min drive of the church?? They may let you put up a tent or use a shelter. Anyone you know well with a big yard? What about the History Museum??? The bigger rotundas are expensive, but the small meeting room is a little more reasonably priced.
Good luck and Congrats!

I accept as true with lots of the solutions. you ought to do a great quantity of h'orderves, surprisingly given the time. i understand you have been in all likelihood thinking 6:30 ceremony could mean a 7:00-7:30 reception yet like somebody else stated, maximum human beings would be working so as that they won't have time to consume a actual meal in the previous they arrive so as that they would be hungry. a pal of mine did a cake and punch reception and it went horribly. As area of the marriage party i understand they did it with the aid of fact of fee in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it did no longer flow over properly, then all of us went to an italian resturant after the 'reception". all of us paid for our very own dinners after driving 40 5 minutes from the church. for particular it exchange into no longer the main pleasent journey. Have happy travellers and feed them lol :)

I would try your local VWF hall; I know here in Maryland there are alot of them around and they are really nice and not expensive to rent; or you could try a local restaurant, a lot of them have banquet halls that you can rent and they may charge you guest per plate. Just call around and see what everyone has to offer. Also check your local phone book and look under banquet halls.
