We were torn between the two locations as well. We went with the gazebo because I just like the setting a little better, though it was a tough choice. I think my DH said a couple people were watching from a balcony, but quite frankly, once you are inside the gazebo, which is where your entire ceremony takes place, you can't see up and they can't see in. I was too excited and focused on the moment to notice anyone outside of the gazebo, so I didn't mind. Another plus for me and a major deciding factor was that we had an August wedding and the gazebo had a ceiling fan for air movement ! It was wonderful !
