By have everything in the one place you reduce the inconvenience to your guests and also the time normally between ceremony and reception greatly. This will ensure you and your guests receive maximum enjoyment out of the day without ferrying all over the place from location to location.
Cost

By having the ceremony, photos and reception at the one place you reduce the cost of transport. Ask your limousine company for a pick up and drop off from your home. ($150-$200).
