If you're in a hotel/catered place, they probably already have the beer purchased, and bring a load of it. They then charge based on actual consumption, and take the remainder back for the next wedding. A keg doesn't permit that--all you have is the keg, and the rest is wasted. With bottles, you're buying only what you're using (more or less--don't they charge by the case or so). Also, when the drunks start coming off the dance floor, it's a lot quicker to open a bottle than to pump, pump, pump the keg for some beer.

Some hotels/restaurants dont bother with actual drink count. They charge by anticipated head count - $30.00 per head for the bar or whatever the bar charges. Often different rates based on the "premium" level that the couple wants for the reception.
The restaurant figures that some will really belly up and drink a ton of Glenfiddich while others are lightweights and will have a single glass of chard.
