I don't really fault him. He was the beneficiary of someone else's mismanagement of protected lands, however.

Every time he wants to have an event on private property, he has to check that the owner isn't violating any of a myriad regulations imposed by countless regulatory bodies?

He had a multi-million dollar event. Yes, in such cases -- especially where the use is atypical -- the event planners do perform significant legal and liability checks to ensure that the use is compliant with all laws and regulations.

Given that he had rented the facility from a hotel that had done that in the past, and the atypicality was mainly in the secrecy and set design they wanted, I don't think that it's unreasonable to expect that the hotel had all of its permits in order. It's a reasonable mistake -- though one that, as you point out, should have been caught by his wedding planner.
