Miami girls-help!

My sister is getting married and she's on a budget. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a nice reception venue indoors or outdoors that is pretty, but affordable! Everywhere that comes to mind for me is too expensive. Of course, I got married at the Barnacle and we all know how that ended up so the Barnacle is out (even though I think it would be perfect!) THANKS so much in advance. The church is in the Kendall area and while she doesn't mind people driving for the reception, she doesn't want them driving too far. Also, there will be only about 50 people in attendance.

I love the Hotel Astor thanks, but it's a bit of a drive to have everyone coming from Kendall over the bridge to South Beach-especially on a Saturday evening with traffic and all UGH. :)

I'd love to see her get married at the same reception/ceremony spot but her FH's family is Catholic and it's his first wedding and also very important to the family they get married in his Church.

Not from MIA, but...

I was a guest at a wedding at the Bonnet house museum and gardens

http://www.bonnethouse.org

which was very nice. They had it outdoors, and the reception was catered, also outside. Sorry I have no idea about their pricing. The caterer was a company called "eggwhites". From a guest perspective, everything was great - except that the party ended before midnight :D

ETA: I have no idea where this is in relation to the church you mentioned... we were only there for that one weekend.

Awww thanks, Mrs. M it is so pretty! It's actually in Ft. Lauderdale and not Miami. :) I am putting it on my list of places for others, though! :) Thanks again!
