# of bathrooms

AM, on January 3, 2019 at 6:33 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 8
The venue I chose has two bathrooms (one stall each so both private) but gives you the option to rent portables and trailers. Is that enough for 130 guests? Or should I spend the extra $ on the rental? I didn’t factor this fear into my initial budget. They sounded confident the septic system would hold up fine

    While I understand your budget issue, I honestly think you need more than just one bathroom each for that many people. Especially if there is going to be drinking and such. Lines will probably get long and guests will get frustrated

    I also think you might need more bathrooms.

    We’re expecting about 200 guests and have 6 bathroom stalls (3 men’s, 3 women’s) - honestly, I still expect a short line at some points of the night.

    We are having our reception at our home and need to rent restrooms for our 300 guests and the rental company suggested 3 stalls would be plenty

    Hey AM! Agreeing with the above comments, I think maybe two or three more bathrooms will be better! I think two would be fine for 50-60 guests, but with your guest count, it might be better to add a few more so there aren't too many lines!

    Hey there!! How is everything coming along? Are you sticking with the bathrooms that are available at your venue, or are you going to rent extras?

    I would be upset if I went to an event and there was only one stall/toilet. That's definitely not enough. in addition to people having to use the restroom if someone has to do #2 that can get really stinky and dirty. Also what if someone gets sick/drunk and needs to vomit. You will regret not having more toilets

    I was able to track down a few brides that had events here with the same size guest list. About half ordered additional portable stalls. For the other brides, they said the two bathrooms at the site worked out just fine and they didn't hear of any complaints from guests. They said they didn't label them male or female so that you could use whichever one was open. I think given the budget we're going to move forward without additional restrooms and work with the 2 they have

    An Update!

    We didn't end up ordering extra bathrooms. I was told at one point one of the bathrooms was out of order momentarily, but i had no idea because our wedding coordinator fixed the issue!

    I noticed there were times the lines for the bathrooms seemed a little long but i asked around and no one heard a single complaint. We ended up with just under 100 guests
