I would agree with MCG above that this restaurant option could be appealing. I have had two colleagues have their weddings at Restaurant Aso in Daikanyama. It is quite nice and will be be below your budget.

The restaurant has a nice courtyard (with retractable top for weather) for the wedding ceremony and then you are moved into a room for dinner. Dessert is then served back in the courtyard. The staff was excellent and everything ran smoothly. The only downside is that you will need to take cabs from Ebisu station.
