Wedding Restroom Planning Guide
Your wedding checklist probably includes the venue, catering, décor, and photography — but restroom planning is just as important for keeping guests comfortable and happy. This guide will help you choose the right mix of portable restrooms and luxury restroom trailers for weddings and special events in New Jersey.
How Many Restrooms Do You Need for a Wedding?
A simple starting point for weddings is:
| Guest Count | Suggested Restrooms (Baseline) |
|---|---|
| Up to 50 guests | 1–2 restrooms (at least 1 VIP or high-end option) |
| 51–100 guests | 2–3 restrooms, including at least 1 VIP or trailer |
| 101–200 guests | 3–5 restrooms, plus at least 1 ADA/accessible unit |
| 200+ guests | Work with our team for a custom plan |
If your reception is longer than 4 hours or you are serving alcohol, you will often want to add 15–30% more capacity to keep lines short and restrooms fresh. You can also use the Unit Calculator to fine-tune your numbers.
Restroom Options for Weddings
Pottys Plus and our partner Restroom Resources offer a range of options to match different wedding styles and budgets.
Premium & Luxury Restroom Trailers
For many weddings, a restroom trailer is the ideal solution: it feels more like a real bathroom with private stalls, running water, and a finished interior.
- 2-Stall Restroom Trailer — great for smaller weddings, backyard events, and intimate venues. View 2-Stall Restroom Trailer
- 4-Stall Restroom Trailer — ideal for mid-sized weddings and events with 100–200 guests. View 4-Stall Restroom Trailer

Placement Tips for Wedding Restrooms
- Keep trailers and units within a comfortable walking distance of the main tent or barn.
- Place them slightly out of the main photo line of sight, but easy to find with signs or lighting.
- Position downwind from dining, where possible.
- Ensure firm, level ground and consider temporary walkways or mats for heels and formal attire.
- Provide lighting for night-time receptions and path lights leading to restrooms.

1–2 VIP portable restrooms + 1 XLT accessible unit + 1 portable sink or handwashing station. -
