When planning events, there are many considerations to be made. What food will you serve? Which guests have allergies? Who will DJ? What music should they play? What is the color palette? Where is the venue? Are you stressed yet? Because we are.
One place you may not want to think about is the bathroom. For decades, the standard party protocol has been to rent those nasty, unsightly plastic porta potties and call it a day. What if we told you that there was a better option? Well, there is. If you are looking for a reason not to rent those stinky toilet saunas, check out the five signs that your event could use an upgrade to something better–the portable restroom trailer.
1. Your Event Budget is Roomier Than You Thought
If you are a party or wedding planner, working at a campaign or charity event, a concert venue, or any other host of one-off shin-digs, you are likely working with a tight budget. Maximizing your budget is every planner's dream, but what if you have a bit more to work with than you had anticipated? You may think of using your extra funds to hire a better DJ or more decorations, but you may have yet to consider spending it in the bathroom department.
Upgrading to an event restroom trailer means a more pleasant experience for your guests and you. They are easier to maintain, spacious, and far more pleasing on both the eyes and the nose. Plus, after you have spent all the time and money curating the perfect event experience, you can choose a restroom trailer to match your vibe.
If you want to level up your event, you have to start where people least expect it. A terrible restroom experience is expected and soon forgotten, but a great one? People will be shocked by that, remember it, and tell stories about it. If you have extra room in your budget, it's a surefire sign that it’s time to upgrade your drab and stinky porta potties to a luxury bathroom trailer.
2. Your Guest List Keeps Growing
Unlike those nasty plastic excuses for toilets, bathroom trailers are made to accommodate large guest lists. Many trailers offer upwards of four or six units each, and their tank capacity can handle guest lists of hundreds. Plus, with more space in each, lines are shorter, and guests can be happier.
Instead of getting more plastic boxes, when your guest list grows, see it as a signal to upgrade to a toilet trailer rental.
3. You Need More Than Just Toilet Facilities
If you are working with an event that is days long, or guests are getting super dirty (think a festival or a mud run), an upgrade to a portable restroom trailer is right for you. With trailers that offer the best of both worlds, an upgrade to a combination bathroom and shower trailer is an excellent move if you want your guests to freshen up during or after the event. Each unit has total privacy, so there is no need to worry about catching a peek of something (or someone) you’d rather not see. Guests will surely be happy not to get into their cars and travel home dirty or smelly, and you’ll keep a smile on their faces.
Bottom line: If you have a messy event, it’s time to upgrade to a combination restroom and shower trailer.
4. You Have a Classy Theme on Your Hands
There is nothing worse than seeing a horrifically long line for those plastic porta potties at an event…except for maybe seeing it in the background of your pictures. If you are hosting a high-class event, it may be time to splurge on some high-class bathrooms to go with it.
The benefit of luxury restroom rentals is that they don’t have to ruin your event's theme. Whether under the sea-chic or Gatsby black tie, there is a restroom trailer with features to meet your needs. Marble-effect countertops, deep basin sinks, and recessed lighting in vanity mirrors all add a classy touch to your formal event that any high-society attendee will surely appreciate. If your party attracts those everybody knows, it’s time to upgrade where they go.
5. Brick-and-Mortar Restrooms are Far Away
Even if you have access to standard restroom facilities, if they are a trek-and-a-half away, your guests won’t be too pleased with needing to leave the action to do their business. If you have the space in your budget and want to ensure your attendees are close to the action for as long as possible, upgrading to a trailer bathroom rental is a smart move. With the freedom to move that your venue itself does not have, a mobile restroom trailer can help move facilities to you and your guests.
The Time Is Now
Upgrading to a restroom trailer can significantly enhance your event experience in ways you might not have considered. Whether you have a larger budget, a growing guest list, or faraway facilities, mobile restrooms can address those challenges and elevate your event. If you recognize any signs above, it’s time to make the switch and impress your guests or attendees.
