A Heat/Cooling analysis would answer your question exactly, however, a 40,000 btu will handle 1000 sq ft, 60,000 btu will handle 1200 sq ft and so on. Unless you are in the middle of a field with high winds a 70,000 btu can handle the job. Dont oversize......a 100,000 btu is way to big and the heat exchanger will mot likely burn out in 8-10 years. get a warranty with the furnace

I would first be considering and restaurants in the area that have the seating available and might be able to provide a room or close for your event. As for the backyard, that sounds good. You have plenty of time to make it happen. You don't need a tent at all, but if there's not a nice shaded area, maybe provide a small one, some people get quite bothered by the sun. Given it's a casual reception I see no reason you couldn't have cheap table cloths, go get fabric from any fabric store. You can even use cheap plastic utensils and plates. It's all about you getting married and then having a good time, so don't get too caught up in the details of everything else. For example, no one cares if they have an embroidered napkin or dollar store napkin.

BTUs required is based on the temp difference inside and out and the insulation value and the amount of air infiltration you have. Why don't you ask a nearby HVAC co. for an estimate- that will tell you what they think you need. If they are close (Like 100kBTUs or less) then you can add insulation and do caulking to make up the difference

It depnds on where you live.You need to know what the design temperatre diference for your area is and how well insulated it is.I live near albany ny rule of thumb is 35 btu for new tight houe and 45 - 50 btu sq ft for older homes.Alot of contractors have software to do your heat load for you.This is figured against the net output of your furnace.ACCA is a source for the factor for your area.

it won't be a great deal if the furnace is the wrong size. have a HVAC company do a thorough inspection of your house. which direction does it face? how many windows and what size? what type of insulation? do you have the right size of ductwork now? do you have enough return air? some contractors have computer programs that do this. try to get at least two estimates. good luck.

assuming your in the northern states and you see a winter mean temp of 0 and occationally it dips to -10 to -20 A 70k is just right for a 1250. Also taking into account your home is of at least minimal updates to windows and insulation.

Have a Manual J heat load calculation done to be safe.

No I don't think it is, unless you are in a very mild climate.
