Thank you for your question, in relation to your questions a paid ceremony venue will allow you wedding to be exclusive and staffed for any inconveniance that may occur.
Pros,
- Exclusive use of an area -No Double bookings
- Staffed
- Bar - Pre & Post ceremonial Drinks
- Suppliers/Vendors can setup in a timely manner
- Back up areas for wet weather
Cons,
- Some times Expensive
- Some Venues you may not get the date you want
- Some Venues may be remote to get to and Suppliers and Vendors will on Charge theses costs
If you go the other direction a public garden for example you may run the risk of other people using the allocated spot you wanted to get married in and you have no legal rights to exclusively use a public area.
Pros,
- Convenient location with minimal setup required
- Convenient locations for couples on a budget
- Generally Family Friendly
- Generally centralized to all parties
Cons,
- Busy & Noisy
- Open to the general public
- Permits to be required for some parks
- limited to setups type (marquees, arbours)
the list could go on about this topic but in a nutshell, I hope this answers your question.

Hi there
sorry about the delay in getting back to you
I guess it guarantees you more privacy and control over what you can do at the ceremony
In our case at the Fairmont Resort as they hotel is surrounded by a large amount of private gardens it means easy and close access to your suite fir getting ready and also venue for the celebration is close by so less transport is required
Warm regards
