Porta Potty Rentals Cost What????

Think of it this way. How much would YOU want to be paid to deal with people's filth?

We had to rent a restroom trailer as well because our reception is in a barn and there's no bathroom! The bigger and nicer they get the more costly they are. Those prices sound like they are for top of the line, or from a bigger corporation. You may want to check smaller companies. The one we're renting is $600 plus a $90 delivery fee.

That's cheaper than dealing with a septic issue. (Think of Meet the Parents scene).

Suggestion - is there s golf course or park nearby that uses portapotty. Fond out the company they use and maybe delivery won't be so high.

I can't comment on the cost, as I haven't explored that option yet. But, you do not want to test the septic system, not on your wedding day!

Second the part of people running in and out of the house, lookey-loos will wander off the prescribed path to the half-bath and be all up in your business. I like it when everything the guests need is outside, why, there's no reason to pop into the house. But I have some *very* nosy people about, lol.

Yep-- exactly why at-home weddings aren't always necessarily the cheapest option!!

You are definitely right in not wanting people to use your home bathroom, though. If anything should happen to it, the repairs will be MUCH more expensive than renting a port-a-potty, and I would also suggest blocking your home bathrooms off completely, b/c otherwise EVERYONE will chose that over a port-a-potty.

I feel so bad. I'm trying to find other companies in the area but I don't think I will find one that rents nice ones but will rent the construction ones. FMIL is familiar with the area. I'll ask her if she knows of anyone. I'm sure she does as she got FH in contact with someone when he had his house built.

We went with a backyard wedding because we wanted outside and to be close to our home which is an hour from the city. All the "home" type vendors wanted min. 11K and we were required to used their food caterers. Our budget is 10K. I admit this is costing more than I expected but we are somewhat getting what we want. So far we are at 2,500 for the rental of the tent, tables, chairs, tent siding, dishes, tableclothes (bought) and chair sashes (bought). Now 1,300 for shitters. $3,800 for venue costs. What's yours?

Backyard weddings are cheaper when you are doing them as a small wedding...typically what they are intended for. Using your backyard as a regular venue means you need to figure out and provide all the amenities of a regular venue.

During Christmas when I was a teenager, we were visiting my father's side of the family and staying with my aunt because she had the room. Our family is huge and she always hosted Christmas Eve dinner which was about 50 people. That year, her septic broke/overflowed/was destroyed somehow. The smell was horrible. The bill was large. You don't want that hassle.

I would google it up and see what you can find in your area and consider renting a bathroom trailer rather than just porta potty. It's a little nicer for your guests and from what I've seen depending on your area can be a cheaper than $900

That's about right.

@FutureMrs.Forbes this $950 +$350 is for a bathroom trailer. I called a second place and they want $1,250 for everything.

My cousin had two for her wedding and honestly they were SO nice! Right when you open the door a light comes on and if you have ever used a camper toilet or motorhome its just like that. I would say its well worth it! even has running water and soap dispenser and she put a little flower arrangement on the sink! I loved them and think they are ingenious!

Take heart...i just got a quote for $2100 (gulp.)

Restroom trailers are SO expensive to rent! Has anyone tried renting an RV or two, which have restrooms in them? One obvious advantage is price (RV's can go for as low as $150/night). But you would also get the perks of having a place for people to sleep, and a air conditioned living room area. I'm curious what the capacity of an RV black water tank is, though... how many 'uses' can it handle?
