Moon Portable Restrooms has enough portable toilets for any size of wedding!

How Many Portable Restrooms Should I Rent?

/in , , , /by

Wedding season. How festive a time with just as much chaotic energy and stress as there are nuptial joys – a good wedding might seem put together from the outside, but if you’ve ever planned an event, then you might know how the minute details make all the difference. From how level the ground is for the ceremony to the number of chairs there needs to be, there’s always something to be outlined and calculated. Within these calculations, there’s also the question of portable restrooms: how many will you need? Which kind will be the best for your wedding? How long will you need the units for?

There are several factors that go into successfully have portable toilets at your wedding, and Moon Portable Restrooms are here to help you brainstorm some of the important considerations you’ll need to think about as you research our portable restroom rentals!

Amount of Guests

Perhaps one of the most important deciding factors for the question, the amount of guests will influence the other factors, as well. OSHA laws require construction sites to have at least one toilet for 20 workers, and that’s generally a lower number on the range that the hospitality industry suggests when it comes to guests, which is 1 toilet per 20-50 guests. The more guests you have, though, the more toilets you will need, and it’s recommended that you err on the side of safety with larger guests lists that reach into the 100-200 range.

Budget

If you have a set budget, the amount of guests you have will affect whether you’ll want to have a larger amount of toilets with the more affordable standard portable restrooms or splurge on fewer toilets but have access to our luxury portable restrooms. While we make all of our units as clean and attractive as possible, we usually recommend our luxury restrooms for high-budget weddings due to the additional amenities you get that fits the bill.

Trailer or Toilet

On the subject of amenities, in addition to our different types of portable restrooms accommodating different amounts of people, they also offer different amenities. Our standard portable toilets accommodate one guest at a time, but our trailers range in size from one men’s and one women’s cabin to commercial size, with 5 stalls in one cabin.

Our portable restroom trailers also offer those amenities you might be looking for, such as:

  • Flushable, porcelain toilets
  • Urinals
  • Stainless steel sinks with soap and paper towel dispensers
  • Vanities
  • Woodgrain flooring and other aesthetic additions
  • Air conditioning and heat

Accessibility

If you know that your guests will require a wheelchair or health aid-accessible toilet, then we have ADA compliant portable toilets and portable restroom trailers. These ADA portable toilets can be used by individuals who don’t need the accessibility, of course, but you may want to consider getting an ADA restroom in addition to a regular unit when planning for facilities.

Venue

As always, check with your venue and be aware of how much space you have available for your use, any restrictions the venue might place on size or type of portable restroom, and what the location of your venue is like geographically. Is it hilly? Does it meet the requirements for our portable restroom rentals? Our products will list any spatial or geographical needs in it’s description, but Moon always welcomes inquiries about our units!

Where It Comes From and Where It Goes: How a Flushable Portable Toilet Works

/in , , , , /by

Moon Portable Restrooms is proud to have so many different models for different events and needs available for those in the Kentucky area, especially our flushable portable toilets and upscale restroom trailers with running water or showers!

Flushable portable toilets in Kentucky

When people think of portable restrooms, oftentimes, the only thing that comes to mind is a standard port-a-potty, baking in the sun without anything except the flies, a lock, a toilet, and – if you’re lucky – a roll of thin, one-ply toilet paper. With Moon standard portable toilets, you’ll get an experience better than that because we practice proper maintenance and sanitation, but standard units still aren’t the most exciting portable toilets out there no matter how well-kept they are.

Our flushable portable toilet units are a different story! These premium portable toilets offer larger floor space, a handwashing station, and the flushing mechanism that makes this upgrade worth the investment. The sanitary hands-free flushing foot pump is all you need to flush unsightly evidence of waste away and give off the impression that you’re business is your business. It has a capacity for up to 150 flushes, too, so you likely won’t need any more of them than you would a standard port-a-potty!

While flushable portable toilets seem like a great idea, how exactly do they work? And how do they manage to keep enough water to flush 150 times before they run out?

How a Moon Flushable Portable Restroom Works

Flushable Portable toilets are usually made of 4-5 core components:

  • A Toilet Seat
  • A Holding Tank
  • A Flushing Mechanism
  • A Pressure System
  • An Optional Additional Storage Tank

It’s difficult to believe that one flushable portable restroom could hold enough water for 150 flushes, but it all depends on how much water is being used to flush!

Flushable Portable Restrooms in Louisville KY for rentUnlike traditional residential toilets that require plumbing to bring waste and wastewater out via pipes to the sewer system, flushable portable toilets do not reply on the sewer system as they’re being used. Instead, since all waste is contained in a hidden holding tank directly underneath the toilet that is equipped with chemicals to eliminate odors, break all solid waste down (including toilet paper, which is why it’s usually so thin), and kill germs, gravity does a bulk of the work! The flushing mechanism simply facilitates the movement and guides all leftover matter down as well for a clean toilet every time from either a separate tank of clean water or using diluted deodorizing chemicals from the holding tank.

After approximately 150 flushes, the holding tank must be emptied and refilled with water to flush, which we’ll take care of! Additional holding tanks are available, and we’ll be happy to consult with you to figure out the best course of action on how many flushable units you’ll need for your event.

How Long in Advance Should You Plan Your Wedding?

/in , , , , /by

Christmas and the New Year – what a wonderful time of happiness and family and gifts, but also the perfect time for a proposal. With so many deals and discounts, it’s no wonder that it’s one of the most popular times of the year to get engaged! If you found your forever partner and are now expecting to tie the knot sometime soon, you might be wondering what your wedding timeframe should be.

Well, it’s probably all very dependent on what you want for your special day. How in-demand is the venue you have your eye on? What about the caterer and the florist? How far booked out is your photographer?

That might seem like a vague answer, so to make it easier, most wedding experts will tell you that planning a year to 18 months in advance is usually going to be your best bet, but there are always exceptions. Depending on what time time of year you want to get married and how set you are on having specific vendors for your wedding, it could be more like 24 months, or if you’re doing it DIY or small-scale, it could be as short as 3-4 months!

Either way, experts also recommend taking the month right after you get engaged to stop, celebrate, and make big decisions with your new fiancé before any other planning begins.

Pre-Planning Decisions

In order for the wedding to go smoothly, both partners should have a good idea of what they envision for their wedding, and then to compromise if need be. Even if one partner has more investment in how the wedding looks or what they want there, both should be involved in this pre-planning period, because this is where big decisions get made.

  1. What season do you want the wedding?
  2. Do you want a long or a short engagement?
  3. What’s the wedding budget?
  4. If there’s a honeymoon, when will it be taken?
  5. How many people will be invited?
  6. How big will the wedding party be?

The average engagement period is 13-16 months in the US, so don’t feel like you have to rush, or like you have to wait that long at all! It’s nice to just celebrate love and the engagement in and of itself, so don’t feel pressured to begin planning the big ticket items straight away, especially if you already know you want a long engagement, since that gives you a timeframe forgiving of potential accidents that can take time to fix.

What’s the Next Step in Planning a Wedding?

Once you’ve figured out the answers to these questions, it will be much easier to start the heavy-duty planning after. For example, after a season has been chosen, it will be easier then to choose a specific date for your big day, and that timeframe is the most important part of planning, since everything else revolves around it from booking a venue to letting your vendors know when they’ll need to provide their services. And since you’ll know your budget and your target guest limit, your next step of finding and booking a venue will be made a little easier, since a lot of venues are booked a year in advance, but you’ve already talked about limits and constraints.

Make sure you know what kind of food you’re looking for and if the caterer is able to work within your chosen venue’s contract. Sometimes, certain venues will have guidelines or even a list of approved caterers that you’ll have to choose from, so if food is an important part of your wedding, plan accordingly! Your other vendors should be booked sooner rather than later, as well, such as:

  • Florists
  • Make-up and hair stylists
  • Photographers
  • Videographers
  • DJs
  • Bar services
  • Bakers
  • Portable restroom services
  • Clean up services
  • Etc.

You always want to make sure that each service has an opening for your date, especially if you’re looking for a specific provider!

Finally, when it comes to ‘save the dates’ and invitations, a good recommended timeframe to start sending out your paper or digital invitations is 6-8 months from your chosen date or ASAP for ‘save the dates’ and then 6-8 weeks from the wedding for invitations. And closer to the date might be cutting it close for some guests, so you’ll want to make sure you give them plenty of time to RSVP and plan for travel, childcare, pet care, and to purchase any gifts they might want to give. You should also be looking for flights or travel costs for your own honeymoon around the time you send out the ‘save the dates’ so that you can get a good grasp on how much you’ll be paying for travel, lodgings, food, etc. and factor that into how much you’ll be willing to pay for the other wedding services.

Affordable Outdoor wedding venues in Southern Indiana

5 Outdoor Wedding Venues in Southern Indiana

/in , , /by

In the search for the perfect wedding venue for your big day, there is no shortage of choices, but there is always a shortage of time, it seems. And while traditional wedding venues tend to be reliable and take less weight out of your wallet, the prime wedding months from April-October remain the most popular because of one incredibly important detail: weather. Nice weather, to be exact, especially if you’re looking at outdoor wedding venues.

Outdoor weddings take every advantage of that ‘nice weather’ factor, and have grown in popularity for a whole range of reasons – the beauty and ambience of a natural backdrop for your “I do’s” and wedding photos is unparalleled, the experience feels more personal to the couple, and the space that outdoor venues provide lends itself to each individual wedding plan, from large and lavish to small and intimate.

Top Tips for Outdoor Event Planning

10 Tips for Hosting an Outdoor Event During the Pandemic

/in , , , /by

Thinking about surprising a loved one with an outdoor birthday party? Getting married? Looking to host a concert or movie night for your business or organization? Planning a race? Working on finally having that family reunion? 

If you have an event in the works or have planned an event before, you probably know how difficult it is to coordinate every little thing. There are so many moving parts–food, venue, entertainment, music, guest’s needs–and there’s almost always some sort of unplanned hurdle, like bad weather, a picky eater, or technical difficulties. 

What’s more, hosting a safe, fun event during the pandemic is tricky. You want to be able to connect and celebrate, but you don’t want to compromise the health of your guests, friends, or loved ones. That’s why many people have turned to outdoor gatherings as the ideal way to stay socially-distanced while still being able to meet in-person.

With spring just around the corner, there’s no better time to make sure you’re up-to-speed with the logistics and possible hang-ups you could face as an outdoor event planner. Whether you’re a seasoned expert or this is your first time planning an event, follow along! 

1. Visit the Venue in Advance

This may seem obvious, but many people try to “just wing it” based on positive Yelp reviews or Instagram photos. Don’t be that person. Scope out your chosen venue in advance. Examine the geography of the space–Is it hilly? Windy? Muddy? Exceptionally dark? Nobody wants to get married in the shadow of a building! Feel free to measure or draw on paper where you will place things. Making sure you have the perfect spacing of tables, buffets, chairs, bathrooms, bars, parking spots, etc. is especially important during Covid. 

2. Check Permits and Ordinances

Certain outdoor spaces, even in public parks, require paid permits or preliminary reservations. Do your research before showing up. Make sure there are no restrictive curfews, seasonal regulations, party size limitations, or conflicting events happening in the same space.

3. Plan For Accessibility

Making sure your event is inclusive and accommodating for those with disabilities, dietary concerns, or certain physical needs is very important to consider. Do you have wheelchair access? Have you met everyone’s dietary concerns or removed certain allergens from the menu? If you’re showing a movie, video, or on-screen presentation, do you have captions, large print, or an assistive listening device? If you need more information, check out this Accessibility Checklist by Cornell University.

4. Get Electrical

If you’re hosting an event with music or entertainment of any sort, chances are you’ll need plenty of electrical outlets. Many outdoor venues don’t have electricity, so bringing extension cords or a mobile power inverter may be necessary. 

5. Who’s Going to Make It Happen?

What kind of staff will you need to make your event happen? If you’re hosting a tiny family gathering, you can probably manage as a party of one, but in most circumstances, you’ll need help! Will you have an entertainer, like a DJ, musician, or band? Do you need a catering staff to serve food or beverages? Need maintenance assistance to set up the space and keep the venue clean and orderly? Want vendors to sell wares? Considering a collaboration with a professional decorator or florist? Did you think about hiring a photographer to capture your precious memories? Do you need security if you have VIP personnel? … Maybe you just want a private event manager to handle it all for you! We’d understand.

6. Rain Check!

A rainy forecast doesn’t have to ruin your outdoor event. Many outdoor spaces can easily accommodate covered areas like marquees, patios, and tents, but should be coordinated and confirmed in advance. Otherwise, consider choosing a backup space to move to in the chance of inclement weather. 

7. Where Do I Sit?

People care about their comfort, and you should too. Make sure to have plenty of adequate seating, especially if you’re serving a meal. Assigned seating can be a great idea to keep large parties settled. Elderly people in particular will need a space to rest. If the weather is especially hot, people will want somewhere to cool down.

8. Food!

Food builds connection between friends and family, establishing a shared experience. Making sure you have a great selection of food is vital. Have you met the needs of gluten-free guests, sugar-free guests, vegans, vegetarians, or those with an allergy? Consider the age range and demographics of your party–a child’s birthday party will have a very different menu than a lavish soiree. Coordinating the meal is also important–will it come out in courses? Is it a buffet? When will it happen, before or after the presentation? The planning, preparation, serving, and cleanup of food is far more complex than you’d think!

9. Figure Out Your Covid Plan

Adhering to social-distancing and Covid safety guidelines is a crucial concern. Seating guests in reasonably-separated spaces, providing plenty of room for walk-ways and lines to gather, limiting party size, and making sure you’re on the same page as your event staff is important to consider. If you’re going to require masks or proof of vaccination, be sure to let your guests know far in advance. Also, have a way of properly and discretely enforcing these policies–nobody wants to attend a superspreader event!

10. Secure The Sanitation!

If you haven’t thought about your bathroom situation, now’s the time. Making sure your guests have access to pleasant, comfortable restrooms is vital. Nobody wants to wait in line–make sure you have enough units to accommodate your party size. Having hand washing or sanitization stations may be advisable as well.

Planning An Outdoor Wedding? Here’s What You Need To Consider

/in /by

An outdoor wedding can be incredibly charming when you choose the right venue. If you are planning one, there is a lot more you’d need to consider than the cake and the music. There are specific challenges to organizing a wedding in an outdoor setting, and if you want your big day to run seamlessly, there are many other things that would need to be considered. Here we take a look at some of the most important ones:

  1. Attire/Footwear

For an outdoor setting, you would need to make sure that your guests are dressed as per the season; that’s something you’d have to specify in your wedding invitation. For example, a summer wedding outdoors would call for flowing, light, and breathable fabrics. If the wedding is to be held in colder months, cardigans, woolens, and pashminas would be needed.

The wedding party attire would need special attention. If the outdoor location is a sandy beach or landscape, it will lead to grass stains and dirt. It is something you should be prepared and plan for. If there are stone pathways or lush grassy areas at the outdoor wedding venue, you need to ensure that you and all the wedding guests are wearing suitable shoes as well.

  1. Transportation for Guests

If you have chosen a wedding venue in a remote location, make sure that all your guests can access it easily. Check with the venue whether they have any transportation facilities, to and from the site. Depending on how easy it is to access the place, you might have to plan transportation from the reception area to restrooms.

  1. Quick Access to Bathrooms

The bathrooms need to be at a convenient location so that your guests don’t have to be concerned about missing any important moments. Consider things like the distance of the restrooms from the reception and how the walk is. Is there the right ratio of restrooms to wedding guests? The other option is to rent luxury portable restrooms and make sure that there is a responsible person to stock them with all the necessary amenities such as toilet paper etc.

  1. Other Costs

If there are any specific features you want, such as ambient lights and more, check whether the venue provides them and at what cost. Depending on the season, if you need to get tent rentals at the last minute, find out what those costs will be. It’s crucial to choose a venue equipped to handle this set-up at short notice either on their own or a professional third-party vendor, at a cost-effective price.

  1. Sound Systems

This is another aspect you would have to keep in view and plan for. Check whether the venue provides the necessary equipment and has a sound team. After all, you would need a good system in place so your guests can hear your vows and that there is music they can dance to. Check on local noise curfews and restrictions that can change depending on how close the venue is to guest accommodations.

Some other things to consider are photo lighting arrangements and weather conditions. This thorough planning will help to ensure that when your big day finally arrives, you and your guests aren’t inconvenienced and that the ceremony and reception move forth without a glitch.

If you feel that it’s too challenging for you to plan all these things down to the last detail, you may want to consider hiring a wedding planner. These professionals can help with every aspect of planning your big day.

Planning an Outdoor Wedding? Here Are 5 Reasons Why You Should Rent A Bathroom Trailer

/in /by

Whether you’re planning on getting hitched in your parent’s backyard, on a sprawling farm, park or vineyard, there’s no denying the charm of a picturesque outdoor wedding. In fact, outside wedding ceremonies and receptions are quickly becoming one of this year’s biggest wedding trends. And yet, after couples book their caterer, DJ, photographer, tent, tables and decor, bathrooms seem to be the last thing anybody thinks about.

However, if you’re planning on having your wedding a little off the beaten path, here’s why you’ll want to prioritize renting a top of the line portable restroom:

  1. They’re nicer than you think.

While the idea of renting a portable restroom for a formal outdoor wedding may not seem in keeping with the theme of the event, our luxury bathroom trailers are so clean and discreet that they resemble a brick and mortar restroom. Every trailer comes complete with flushing toilets, hot and cold water, as well as separate cabins for men and women. Additionally, many models feature wood grain flooring, Corian countertops, vessel sinks, subway tile, mirrors, cabinetry, a flat-screen TV and built-in stereo to match the sophistication of the day. 

  1. You can celebrate anywhere and everywhere.

Don’t be limited by your venue. At Moon, we can accommodate your guests even if there’s no power or water close by. So if a remote and breathtaking view is what you’re after, give us a call. We’ve even set up beach side before!

  1. You can properly accommodate everyone.

Even if you’re outdoor venue already has bathrooms, chances are they won’t be up to par in terms of quality or quantity. Most parks for example have plenty of bathrooms open to the public. However, these tend to be dirty and irregularly maintained. On the other hand, if you’re celebrating at a personal residence there will likely be nice bathrooms, just not enough of them. Besides, the last thing your host will want is for your guests to have track through their house in search of one.

It’s best if your guests have a place worthy of freshening up in. It’s also important that everyone at your wedding can comfortably use the loo should they need to. At Moon Portable Restrooms, we offer an ADA compliant bathroom trailer. This option is extra spacious and fully accessible to everyone so your big day can go off without a hitch. 

  1. You can get married in all types of weather.

Weather seems to always be the number one concern when it comes to planning an outdoor wedding. However, our portable restroom trailers are heated and air conditioned so you’re guests can be comfortable no matter the season.  

  1. No maintenance required.

Not only do we deliver days before the event so you can rest assured everything will be in working order and in its proper place, our bathroom trailers come fully stocked and ready to go. Our personal attendant will even make sure it stays clean and functional for the duration of your reception so you have one less thing to worry about.
