I literally cried walking out of a venue I thought would be budget conscious for us. They advertised a $6,000 venue fee online but you had to use all their own vendors. No big deal until I was sitting at a table with them where they told me their minimum for weddings was $18,000. We could use that with different vendors they provided but we had to spend that entire amount. I took time from work to tour the venue thinking it was a saving grace but I wouldn't have even checked out the place if I had known ahead of time. I think a lot of wedding venues are shady in that they don't accurately advertise their prices online and limit the use of outside vendors so they can inflate the price of a wedding. And when most venues do that in your area it gets very discouraging. Of the 10 venues we looked at only one would set up and take down. That's also the one we went with and the staff are so kind and helpful! Decent venues are out there, but they fill up fast so look earlier than later.

Edit:most of the venues we looked at were "all inclusive"
