Planning a Wedding? Know How Many Restroom Trailers You’ll Need
If you’re planning a wedding, don’t leave the restroom logistics until the last minute! When nature calls, it’s essential for all of your guests to have somewhere comfortable and clean. That’s why luxury restroom trailers from The Posh Privy are redefining wedding rentals in Sonoma County with elegance, efficiency, and thoughtful design.
Whether you're planning a small vow exchange or a full-scale celebration, here's how to calculate how many restroom trailers you should prepare for your big day.
The Golden Rule: One Stall Per 100 Guests (Minimum)
As a baseline, we recommend one bathroom stall per 100 guests for a typical 4-6 hour wedding. This rule can flex based on alcohol consumption, meal service, or the presence of elderly or disabled guests.
Here's a breakdown by wedding size to help guide your trailer selection.
Small Weddings (Up to 100 Guests)
Estimated Trailer Need: 1 trailer with 2 stalls
For intimate celebrations, a two-stall unit is often perfect. The VIP2 Standard 2-Stall or the LUX2 Luxury 2-Stall trailer are great choices here. The LUX2 offers added sophistication like music, air conditioning, and oversized stalls, great for guests in formal attire.
Recommendations
Guest Comfort: Avoid long waits with two private stalls
Best Fit: Outdoor elopements, backyard weddings, micro-weddings
Add-ons: If your guest list includes elderly attendees or children, consider a unit with an ADA stall like the ADA+2 for added accessibility.
Medium Weddings (100–250 Guests)
Estimated Trailer Need: 1 trailer with 3–4 stalls
This range is where luxury planning becomes essential. A single 3- or 4-stall trailer keeps things classy and convenient without crowding your venue footprint. The LUX3 Luxury 3-Stall, POSH3 Cottage 3-Stall, or LUX4 Luxury 4-Stall trailers all provide enough capacity and elegance for these mid-size affairs.
Recommendations
Guest Comfort: Keep wait times under 5 minutes at peak
Best Fit: Barn venues, wine estate ceremonies, tented receptions
Add-ons: If you’re hosting a longer event (e.g., ceremony + cocktail hour + dinner + dancing), consider a trailer with climate control and upgraded interiors like the LUX4, especially for warm Sonoma days.
Large Weddings (250–500+ Guests)
Estimated Trailer Need: 1–2 trailers with 5–6+ stations
Larger celebrations demand multiple access points or high-capacity units. The POSH6 Cottage 6-Stall or the LUX5 Luxury 5-Stall trailers offer upscale accommodations for guest lists of 300–550. These trailers come equipped with multiple suites, climate control, backlit mirrors, and charming exterior décor that blends into your theme.
Depending on your event layout and the flow of the day, you might consider two smaller trailers placed at different ends of the venue. This helps with congestion and ensures guests are never too far from facilities.
Recommendations
Guest Comfort: Continuous accessibility without lines
Best Fit: Full-service vineyard weddings, large tented events, multi-day celebrations
Add-ons: Mix and match trailer types, pair a large POSH6 near the reception tent with a LUX2 closer to the ceremony lawn.
Don’t Forget Duration, Layout & Drinks
Besides guest count, consider:
Event Duration: Longer events = more bathroom traffic
Alcohol: Increases frequency of use
Venue Layout: Spread out events need multiple trailer locations
Guest Demographics: Elderly guests, families with young children, or guests with mobility needs may require special accommodations
