From the beginning of your conversation with a venue, discuss your budget.  We know if can be uncomfortable to talk numbers but it's crucial for a venue to know so that you can work through the things that are most important to you!  Especially if venues tailor every package to their couples, we need to know what are your MUST haves and what can work with your budget to make your day amazing!

It's better to be transparent from the start. So that you are not putting your effots towards a venue if it is outside the budget you have allocated.

As early as possible; you dont want to waste time with a venue if it is not in your budget.
