Which is better for a wedding, a restroom trailer or porta potties?
A restroom trailer is better for weddings of 100 or more guests at venues with a 110-volt outlet and a hose within 100 feet. Deluxe flushing porta potties are better for fewer than 100 guests, fields and barns without power, or tighter budgets. Both offer sinks and mirrors inside.
How do they compare side by side?
Restroom trailers win on comfort and lighting; deluxe porta potties win on flexibility and price. A trailer needs power, water and an 11-foot-wide access path. Deluxe units need only level ground. A 2-station trailer serves about 150 guests; one deluxe unit serves about 50 over 4 hours.
| 2-station restroom trailer | Deluxe flushing porta potty | |
|---|---|---|
| Guests served | About 150 per evening | About 50 per unit, 4 hours |
| Toilet | Porcelain, flushing | Plastic, foot-pump flush |
| Sink | Vanity sink, mirror, lights | Small sink, mirror |
| Power and water | 110V outlet and hose | None |
| Space | About 8 × 16 ft plus truck path | 47 × 48 in each |
| Starting price | from $995 per weekend | from $275 each |
When should you book wedding restrooms?
