Outdoor weddings at ranches, vineyards, farms, and private estates are popular in the Dallas area. These beautiful venues often have limited or no permanent restroom facilities, making portable restrooms a necessity. The good news is that today's options go far beyond the basic porta potty.
Understanding Your Options
When planning restrooms for your outdoor wedding, you have several choices ranging from practical to luxurious:
Luxury Restroom Trailers
The most popular choice for weddings, luxury trailers provide an experience similar to an indoor restroom. Features typically include:
- Flushing toilets with running water
- Vanity sinks with mirrors
- Climate control (air conditioning and heat)
- Interior lighting
- Separate men's and women's sections
- Finished interiors with quality fixtures
Luxury trailers are ideal for weddings of 75+ guests and create a seamless experience for your guests.
Flushable Porta Potties
A step up from standard units, flushable porta potties offer a flushing toilet in a single-user format. They're a good choice for:
- Smaller weddings (under 50 guests)
- Supplementing a luxury trailer for additional capacity
- Budget-conscious couples who still want nicer facilities
Deluxe Units
Deluxe porta potties include a built-in hand washing sink, making them more practical than standard units. They work for casual outdoor weddings where budget is a primary concern.
Wedding Planning Tip
Book your restroom rental early, especially for popular wedding dates. Luxury trailers are in high demand during wedding season (spring and fall in Dallas).
How Many Restrooms Do You Need?
For weddings, plan on 1 restroom stall per 35-50 guests. A 2-station luxury trailer typically handles 100-150 guests comfortably. For larger weddings, you may need a larger trailer or additional units.
Placement Considerations
Work with your venue and rental company on placement. Key considerations:
- Accessible but discreet location
- Level ground for trailer stability
- Access for delivery and pickup
- Proximity to reception area (but not too close)
- Adequate lighting for evening use
What to Ask Your Rental Company
When booking restroom rentals for your wedding, ask about:
- Delivery and pickup timing
- What's included (supplies, servicing)
- Power requirements (for trailers)
- Backup plans for weather or equipment issues
