Why not just use a free shared album?

If all your guests are on the same platform and happy to sign in, a shared album is fine. An event site is for when you want everyone, on any phone, to share in two taps.

Can I still put the photos in Google Photos later?

Yes. Download the originals and add them wherever you like.
