Hi Bride! 

A ceremony at a public place can be a beautiful option, however it does not usually include a 'Plan B' or weather event option.  A ceremony at a private venue (such as Hills Lodge Hotel) has both options.  So an outdoor space (like a courtyard, or gorgeous grounds for the ceremony and the option the have the reception also outside or inside a function / event room.  Usually private venues will have a back up plan incase the weather is not agreeable on the day!

The big difference is privacy and quiteness at a private venue, the cost will most likely be more than a public venue but the benefits of not being disturbed by noise and other events or people will outway the cost if you can afford it.

A ceremony at a public place would be a park, beach or gardens you will generally need to pay the coucil for the use of the space for a period of time. A private venue would be the same place you may have your reception for instance Mulberry on Swan or Carilley Estate.
