Want to keep people out of my house

Obviously I can’t cut off the bathroom, but I don’t want everyone roaming around inside

I am not the typical bride to be. I don’t want to do a giant wedding, rent a space and have 10 attendants on each side. I honestly want to get married by a justice of the peace and have a party in my own home’s backyard. I have been loosely coming up with how I can do this. My yard is big enough to house tables of food and drinks. I also can set up lights within my bushes to make it look really pretty. The only downer is that no matter the time of year it is, HVAC is going to be needed. In the south, 90% of the time AC is required. The summer temperatures are just downright brutal. Getting married in the summer would be stupid. Nobody would want to stand outside in the hot sun for even ten minutes. The winters can get quite cold though. I can’t expect people to wear thick coats and hang around my backyard when I have quality heating indoors. Here is the snag though, I don’t want people coming inside. I plan to make the backyard nice to keep people out of my house. I don’t want to get married, host a party and need to clean the inside of my house. Obviously I can’t cut off the bathroom, but I don’t want everyone roaming around inside. I am leaning towards doing a winter event and buying outdoor space heaters for everyone. Maybe that could keep everyone out. If the people are warm and comfortable, then they won’t feel the need to track dirt in my house.
