Hotel vs Garden Wedding — Which did you choose and why?

We're torn between a hotel ballroom wedding and a garden outdoor wedding. Our guest count is around 300. **Hotel pros:** AC, no weather worries, all-in-one packages **Hotel cons:** Can feel generic, more expensive per head **Garden pros:** Beautiful photos, unique atmosphere, often cheaper venue rental **Garden cons:** Weather risk, need separate vendors for everything, logistics Would love to hear from couples who've done either!
