Common sense tells us that we should not hold a wedding or funeral just anywhere.

More of Evangelical's specious logic, extrapolating things from the Bible that aren't there to fit his strange bias.
Jesus was addressing the where. That's what "in Spirit" means. He was definitely saying the outward where really didn't matter anymore. Yes, you can take thing to an extreme and say maybe some places are the best for meetings. But so what? Jesus point was "in spirit" had replaced the temple.
Your commentary about some places being inappropriate is unneeded and irrelevant to the text, and is probably just a pretext for you to drop the second shoe of localism.
