Can we move a restroom trailer after setup for a two-day wedding?

Brooke L.asked 0 viewsEvents & WeddingsRestroom trailersPlacementSpecial event permitRestroom trailerWedding

We're hosting our wedding on a family farm next month, with 150 guests over two days. The ceremony will be in a lower field, and the reception will be in an upper pasture about 200 feet away. We have a restroom trailer booked for the weekend. The rental company just told us it's very difficult to move once it's set up and leveled. Our plan was to have it near the ceremony on Friday, then have it towed to the reception area for Saturday. The ground is firm grass and a truck can reach both spots. Is moving a trailer between events really that big of a deal? What should we expect if we insist on the move?

Yes, moving a restroom trailer after setup is a significant task and most rental companies strongly discourage it. Restroom trailers require precise leveling on firm ground, connection to power and water sources, and often staking for stability. Moving it means disconnecting all utilities, un-leveling, towing it to the new location, and repeating the entire setup process. Even with truck access to both spots, this adds labor time, risk of damage, and potential service disruptions.

If you insist on the move, expect additional fees for the extra labor and possible overtime charges if it occurs outside normal hours. You'll also need to coordinate closely with the rental company to schedule the move, ensuring they have staff available. For a two-day wedding with 150 guests, consider placing the trailer in a central location accessible to both ceremony and reception areas, or rent two smaller clusters instead. I once had a client demand a trailer move between events; it delayed the reception by an hour and cost them more than adding extra standard units would have.
