Many American Legions, VFWs, Town Halls, Senior Center, Rental Halls are space rental only and have kitchens but allow you to bring your own food in. I think your best option is to start making phone calls and just asking. You could also attend a Wedding Fair local to you and see if any vendors offer this option.

Churches quite often have a hall available - often for no or little fee if you have the wedding ceremony there. Also, look at parks - quite often they have "lodge rooms" that are used for all types of events.

have you googled any information yet? Did you hire a wedding planner to help you find the best deals and places where you can do what you want?

You can get married in a local park and bring your own food. Weddings don't have to cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Community Centers allow outside food in.

You REALLY need to hire a wedding planner or go to the library and borrow a book on wedding planning and use it.

Well, to be honest I don't think I've ever rented a "space" where they didn't expect you to have your food catered. So, if you're doing it yourself just say it's being catered by a family member and don't bother with hiring someone.

The potluck style receptions I've attended have been held in church basements after the ceremony, or in rented multi-purpose locations like city park pavilions (indoor and outdoor) and in American Legion or VFW halls.

Usually churches, VFWs/ American Legion posts, and private clubs like the Elks rent their spaces. You may need to have someone with a Serve Safe designation to get around the liability issue, but that's something that can be obtained if you aren't using a caterer. You could also check with area colleges especially if your wedding is during the summer when most students aren't on campus and activity levels are lower.
