80-person wedding, 70% women: are two standard units enough?

Nina R.asked 0 viewsHow Many UnitsUnits per person guidelineStandard unitEvents and weddingsAda unitRestroom trailer

I'm planning a backyard wedding for 80 guests, and about 70 of them are women. The event runs five hours with dinner and an open bar. I'm considering two standard portable toilets, but I'm worried that might not be enough given the crowd and the alcohol. The rental company says they can place them on level grass about 30 feet from where the truck can park. Should I add a deluxe unit with a sink or upgrade to a restroom trailer? How do you handle the ADA requirement with such a small cluster?

Two standard units alone is tight for 80 guests over five hours with an open bar and a mostly female crowd. Women take longer per visit and you get no urinal relief for that group, so lines stack during cocktail hour and after dinner.

Bump to at least three standard units or two standards plus one ADA unit. Under the 2010 ADA Standards, at least 5% of single-user portable toilets in a cluster (and not fewer than one) must be accessible, so a cluster of two or more already needs an accessible unit. Keep that ADA unit on the same level path as the others.

A deluxe with a sink helps handwashing and guest comfort. It does not replace seats. A restroom trailer is the comfort upgrade when you want stalls, running water, and fewer outdoor lines. Level grass about 30 feet from truck access is fine for drop and service as long as that path stays clear.
