Inexpensive Wedding Halls

We are getting married in March 2010 in Ojai and the reception will be outside at my fiances parents house, alot of vendors are warning me about the cold weather and the possiblity of rain. We are on a majorally tight budget and can`t afford a $2000 tent. Any ideas for indoor alternatives that won`t break our bank? I`m open to Ojai, Oak View or Ventura, CA. Also, they would have to allow us to bring in our food as we are having Santa Maria Style BBQ. Hope someone out there can help :) Cheers!
