Wedding Porta Potties & Restroom Rentals

Okay, we know that thinking about the bathroom situation at your wedding is not the most glamorous, but it is important! Is your wedding going to be outside or at a venue that doesn’t have enough on-site bathrooms to accommodate your guests? If so, providing portable restrooms, such as porta potties or a luxury restroom trailer, at your wedding is crucial. Patriot Portable Restrooms wants to help answer your questions about wedding restroom rentals.

What are the logistics of renting porta potties or restroom trailers for a wedding?

Usually there are venue guidelines that you must follow, especially in public outdoor spaces, like state parks or the beach. Make sure to check on what structures you are allowed to have on-site. Additionally, find out where the water and power sources are located at your venue to ensure the installation process goes smoothly. You will have to pinpoint the location so that we can get everything hooked up and working properly.

How do you hide a porta potty at a wedding?

There are so many little ways that you can hide your porta potty or restroom trailer, blending it into your venue scene. Usually, the venue has a spot where you can tuck the unit away: behind a barn, nestled in a grove of trees, or on the outskirts of the property. If there is no where to do that, we’ve seen people get tall trees or shrubs. Furthermore, we’ve seen people add details to the restroom interior such as flower arrangements, toiletry baskets, candles, and more to add their personal touch to the rental. 

How many portable restrooms do you typically need for a wedding?

From our experience, we find it is best to have one bathroom stall for every 25 guests. For a 150-175 guest wedding, we suggest 3-4 stalls for women and 3 stalls for men. However, it is very dependent on the type of needs your guests have. What is the age range of your guests? Will you have guests who are handicapped? Will there be a lot of drinking at your wedding? How large is your staff and how long will they be on-site? These are all things to consider when trying to determine how many rentals you’ll need. 

How much do wedding portable restroom rentals cost?

Remember to factor portable restrooms into your wedding budget. Prices vary across the nation and depend on several factors, so be sure to get a rental quote for more of an idea about cost. You can go the basic route and rent a standard porta potty or flushable porta potty. These are single units that are made with high-quality materials and simply get the job done. People more often rent the flushable porta potties for weddings because they flush with every use which minimizes odors. You can also choose to take the more luxurious route and rent a restroom trailer. Our portable restroom trailers have all the bells and whistles, like air-conditioning, full-length mirrors, running water, flushable toilets, sound systems, and more. You can expect to spend $1,000+ on a luxury restroom trailer for weddings.
