Wedding Restroom Trailers: what it covers

Quick answer

A wedding restroom trailer gives guests flushing toilets and sinks on private ground, where a house's plumbing is not set up for a crowd. The spot, the guest count, the hours and the summer heat decide the setup, and the trailer sits within reach of the reception.

Wedding Restroom Trailers illustration for Jacksonville, FL

A wedding on private ground often has a house, a lawn and a few hours, and no restroom set up for a crowd. A wedding restroom trailer gives guests flushing toilets and sinks within reach of the reception and out of sight of the ceremony. The spot, the guest count and the hours decide the setup.

Phones are answered 24/7. Call (888) 351-0294 with the guest count, the start and end times, and a description of the lot or the property. The provider will ask about the approach for the truck and the ground under the trailer, because those decide the spot. No arrival time is promised on this page, and the delivery date is confirmed on the call.

The work covers private lawns and yards, historic houses and beachfront lots. Standard cabins and accessible cabins are sometimes used alongside a trailer, and the standard unit page and the accessible cabin page explain those options. The restroom trailer page covers the trailer itself in more detail.

Jacksonville's summer is the main factor in an outdoor wedding. The 1991 to 2020 normal July average high is 91.9 degrees Fahrenheit. Guests in the sun want shade and a sink close by, so the setup is planned for the heat from the start.

Our process

How our wedding restroom trailers visit works

  1. Talk through the guest count and hours

    Start with the number of guests who will use the restroom, the start and end times of the reception, and whether there is a ceremony and a separate reception. Those numbers set how many rooms and sinks the trailer needs, and how often it is serviced. The number to call is (888) 351-0294.

  2. Survey the lot

    The technician looks at the lawn, the drive, the gate and the route the truck will take. The ground under the trailer has to hold its weight, and the truck needs room to turn. The trailer is placed within reach of the reception and out of the line of the ceremony, and the spot is marked on the walk-through.

  3. Choose the trailer and the hookup

    The provider chooses the trailer model from the count and the setup, and states whether it carries its own water and tanks or needs a hookup. A hookup must be agreed with the property owner before delivery. Shade, the doors and the access path are considered at the same time as the hookup.

  4. Set and dress the trailer

    The trailer is set, leveled and checked at the doors and sinks. The sinks are run before guests arrive, and the trailer is kept clean and dry through the reception. Signs or a guide to the trailer can be placed at the edge of the reception area, if the owner agrees.

  5. Service and remove after the reception

    The crew checks the trailer during the reception and empties the tanks at the end. Any water connection is shut off, the trailer is removed, and the ground is checked for ruts before the truck leaves.

Where does a wedding trailer go on private ground?

On firm, level ground within reach of the truck, away from the ceremony and the food, with a clear path for guests. The lot decides the spot more than the guest list does.

The first question on the walk-through is where the truck can turn and where the ground will hold the trailer. The second is where guests will walk from the reception. A trailer next to the bar is convenient, but it brings the crowd past the doors, which is a common complaint on private lots.

The spot is marked before the truck is booked. The owner, the provider and the planner agree the spot, the route for the truck and the path for guests, and the agreed plan is written on the booking.

How many guests does one trailer need to cover?

The count depends on guests, hours and the rooms and sinks the trailer carries. No ratio is given here, because this city publishes none for portable restrooms.

The provider plans the count from the guest list, the hours of the reception and the amount of time guests spend at the bar and the food. A longer reception and a warm evening both increase the number of visits, and a small wedding in cooler months needs far less.

Ask the provider for the count on the call and get it written on the booking. A count written down is easier to adjust before the day than to fix on it.

What about heat and sun at an outdoor ceremony?

The 1991 to 2020 normal July average high is 91.9 degrees, so a summer ceremony keeps guests in the sun for long periods. Shade and sink access matter more than the look of the trailer.

A ceremony in July puts guests in the sun for twenty minutes or more before a single word is said, and the reception that follows can run into the hottest part of the afternoon. Guests who are hot use the sinks and the restroom more, and the trailer's walls and roof add to the heat inside.

Shade on the trailer's sides, a sink close to the ceremony and a servicing visit timed for the afternoon are the three things that help most. The provider plans all three on the call.

Does a private wedding need an event permit?

It depends on where the wedding is held and how many people attend. A wedding on city or park ground follows the city's permit tracks, and a private lot is a question for the owner and the provider.

On park land, a JaxParks Special Use permit can apply to events of 50 to 499 people that include special equipment, electricity or a generator, public access, donations or fees, or alcohol. Events of 500 or more people need a Special Event Permit from the Office of Special Events, and that count includes everyone at the event, not only the guests.

Whether a permit applies to a private lot is not something this page settles. Ask the owner, and ask the provider to confirm the spot against the city's rules before the trailer is booked.

What moves the price of a wedding trailer?

The length of the reception, the number of rooms, any hookup, distance and access, and the number of servicing visits. Any event permit that has to be arranged is part of the plan. No figure is given here.

The number of rooms is the first driver, followed by the reception hours, since a longer reception needs more visits. A hookup adds to the setup, and a difficult truck route or a long drive adds to the trip. A permit that has to be arranged adds time to the plan even when it does not add a fee.

This site publishes no price and no range. The provider gives the quote on the call, explains each part of it and waits for your approval before the trailer is booked.

Options

Types and options for wedding restroom trailers

A ceremony and reception at a private house

A house in an older neighborhood often has one bathroom and a narrow approach. The trailer goes on the lawn or drive within reach of the back or side door, so guests are not walking through the house. Houses in Riverside, Avondale and San Marco are often set back from the street, so walk the route first.

An outdoor ceremony on a lawn

An outdoor ceremony needs the trailer far enough from the aisle to keep the view clear, but close enough that guests do not cross the reception area. Its doors face away from the ceremony, and a shaded spot is chosen where the lot allows.

A beachfront wedding in Jacksonville Beach

A beachfront lot in Jacksonville Beach is set on sand, and sand can shift under a trailer's weight. A firm pad or a laid surface is the usual answer, and the trailer is placed behind the dune line or the building line where the owner allows. Events on beach ground are arranged with the city, and the provider can say what that means for the spot.

Duval County

Why wedding restroom trailers is different in Duval County and the Jacksonville Beaches

Jacksonville's older houses are a large part of its private venues. Riverside and Avondale are historic districts with bungalows and houses mostly from the early 1920s, and Springfield has contributing buildings from about 1885 to about 1930. A narrow side access or a set-back yard is the first thing to check on the walk-through.

Mandarin stayed a farming village until the Buckman Bridge opened in 1970, and its houses and lots reflect that growth. A private lot there can be large and open, with the shade and the ground both changing across the year. Arlington grew after the 1953 Mathews Bridge opened, and its ranch houses from the 1950s and 1960s often have a yard that suits a trailer if the drive is wide enough.

Jacksonville Beach is a separate city, and events on its ground are arranged with that city. A beachfront lot is set on sand, and the trailer's placement depends on the owner's ground and the city's arrangements. Hurricane Matthew in October 2016 reached inland in Jacksonville Beach, so the storm plan for a beachfront wedding is set at the start of the booking.

FAQ

Wedding Restroom Trailers FAQs

Can a wedding use a standard cabin instead?

Yes. A standard cabin or an accessible cabin can be used where guests do not expect sinks and flushing toilets. A trailer is chosen when guests expect sinks, when the crowd is large or when the reception runs for many hours. The provider can suggest a mix of trailer and cabins from the guest list.

Will the trailer be the only restroom?

That is the owner's choice, and the count is planned on the call. Many weddings add a hand-wash station near the food or the bar. The provider can suggest a count from the guest list and the hours, and you can change it before the day.

Who empties the tanks during the reception?

The provider's crew does, on a schedule set from the guest count and the hours. The renter does not handle the tanks. If the trailer needs a visit sooner than scheduled, call the provider's line and say so.

What happens if it rains?

Rain softens the ground and can turn the approach into mud. The technician sets the trailer on the firmest ground available, and a firmer path can be laid where the owner allows it. Ask about the route on the first call, so the plan already allows for wet weather.

Do I need a permit for a wedding on a city park?

A wedding on park land can need a JaxParks Special Use permit when it has 50 to 499 people and special equipment, electricity or a generator, public access, fees or alcohol. Ask JaxParks which applies. A count of 500 or more needs the Special Event Permit track from the Office of Special Events.

How far ahead should I book?

Book early, because the spot and the route take time to settle. For events on city ground, the Special Event Permit must be applied for no less than 90 days before the event and no sooner than 365 days in advance. Give the provider the date as soon as it is fixed.
