Advice about heaters

Where are you and what is the average temp for your location in November? Do you have an indoor back up plan?

Eastern Shore of MD. Average temperature is around 60 degrees. Our ceremony will be 430-5pm and then cocktail hour 5-6pm before moving inside to the attached ballroom.

I have been to outdoor events with them a didn't notice them. Even so I wouldn't of complained either. It's better than being cold.

Why did you plan an outdoor wedding in late November in MD? I'm sorry, that's just too cold. Do you have an indoor option?

ETA: I just googled it and according to the forecast, your temperature today at 4 p.m. is in the 50s. This is October, over a month before your wedding. I don't think you can go through with an outdoor wedding and cocktail hour on November 26th when it's that cold out. Move it indoors.

ETA- I don't blame you for planning it to be outside. November can be really beautiful and pleasant on the Eastern Shore!

It's going to be colder later in the year and later in the day. I was outside for a ceremony last night, it was barely 50, and it was cold; even colder for the bride. I'd move it inside honestly; maybe the ceremony inside, the cocktail hour in the enclosed heated area and then dinner inside.

Last night it got down in the high 60s and i was freezing! I would try to move the wedding inside.

I went to an outdoor, November ceremony and it was so cold. The bride started to change color because she was so cold. Beautiful pictures though. I say get the heaters regardless of noise.

They really aren't noticeable and I've found the post heaters aren't that effective unless you are near them

Thanks to those who answered about the heater noise. We will get them regardless, I was just curious about previous experiences.

So you're still having a wedding outside in Maryland madre De Dios your guests will freeze

I wouldn't have an outdoor ceremony in late NOV and I live in Texas - the heaters won't help and your guests are going to be very, very uncomfortable.

All of my experiences with November weddings have been inside, except one where it was about 45-50, and every single person wore their coats the entire time. It wasn't fun.

Have it inside

Is there any way you can move the event inside at the same site?

We travel for soccer tournaments, and always have on the week before your wedding in Maryland - and typically when we're packing up there is FROST on our equipment... Like I'm wearing a straight up ski jacket and winter boots since I'm standing outside for a good part of the day. I'm not sure one heater with duct work is going to make enough of a difference to keep your guests comfortable.

An outdoor wedding in late November sounds like a bad idea, sorry.

I just went to a wedding last night in Connecticut out doors and I was miserable . More than 50% of the people left right after the ceremony. We were all pretty pissed off lol

The average temps for MD in late November are 50 degrees, and that is during the day time when there sun is up. In sorry but this sounds like a terrible idea. As a guest, I would be pissed if I had to sit outside for an hour for the ceremony and ANOTHER hour for cocktails (even if the ceremony is short, guests will probably get their early or you may start late). TWO HOURS outside in less than 50 degrees in formal attire sounds awful, regardless of having heaters. Eta: This is especially inconsiderate of your elderly guests.

November sounds a bit chilly to having an outdoor wedding. Maybe possibly south, like Florida? But otherwise, I would think it would be too chilly.

We're moving our cocktail hour inside, and our wedding is only a week away. (Last year was so much warmer! Oh well.) I'm slightly bummed, but comfort has to come first.

We're still trying to do a very short (~15-20 mins max) ceremony outside just because it's soooo much prettier than the weather plan, and no one will have to wait outside, even if they're early. Still, if it's too cold that's getting moved, too.
