Our Honest Recommendation (From Real Wedding Experience)

Weddings are unforgettable — for better or worse.

Guests will remember:

• The food
  
  
• The music
  
  
• The weather
  
  
• And yes… the bathrooms
  
  

That’s why, when couples ask us what we recommend first, our answer is clear.

🏆 Luxury Washroom Trailers

A washroom trailer gives your guests:

• Flush toilets
  
  
• Running water
  
  
• Climate control
  
  
• Clean, well-lit interiors
  
  

We constantly hear:

“This is nicer than my bathroom at home.”

If your venue is outdoors, rural, or hosting a larger guest count, a washroom trailer provides comfort, cleanliness, and peace of mind — especially during hot Okanagan summers.

How Many Weddings Has The Lux Loo Serviced?

We typically service 40–50 weddings per year, and since 2019, we’ve supported over 500 weddings and events across Kamloops and the Thompson-Okanagan.

That experience matters — because weddings aren’t like construction sites or festivals. Details matter more, expectations are higher, and there’s no room for mistakes.

Portable Washrooms We Do Not Recommend for Weddings

There’s one option we actively discourage:

🚫 Construction-Grade Porta Potties

These units are built for job sites — not formal events.

Common problems include:

• Graffiti
  
  
• Strong odors
  
  
• Industrial appearance
  
  
• Poor guest experience
  
  

Even if they’re cheaper, they often end up being the thing guests complain about most.

Weddings are not the place to cut corners.

Guest Count: When Does a Washroom Trailer Make Sense?

Here’s a simple rule of thumb from real-world experience:

• Under 50 guests: Event-grade porta potties can work (if budget is tight)
  
  
• 50 guests or more: A washroom trailer is the best choice
  
  
• Large weddings: Trailers dramatically reduce lineups, odors, and stress
  
  

As we like to joke:

“A standard porta potty stops being acceptable whenever the bride says so.”

And honestly… that’s usually true.

What Guests Actually Say About Washroom Trailers

Couples and planners regularly tell us that guests:

• Comment on how clean the washrooms are
  
  
• Are surprised by how comfortable they feel
  
  
• Don’t expect portable washrooms to be “that nice”
  
  

In fact, 10 out of 10 weddings with a trailer get positive feedback about the restrooms — which is rare for anything bathroom-related.

Many couples planning seasonal celebrations are surprised by how much washroom quality impacts guest comfort. We explain this further in our guide on how luxury washroom trailers elevate fall weddings in Kamloops.

Kamloops & Okanagan Wedding Factors That Matter

Local conditions play a huge role in choosing the right washroom:

• Rural venues with no permanent washrooms
  
  
• Vineyard and lakeside locations
  
  
• Limited septic capacity at venues
  
  
• Hot summer temperatures
  
  
• Dust, gravel, or uneven ground
  
  

Our washroom trailers are designed to work in these environments and can be delivered to locations that otherwise wouldn’t be possible.

A Real Wedding Example

One of our favourite weddings was held in an open field overlooking a small lake — a place that meant a lot to the couple but had no facilities at all.

They rented:

• A 2-stall washroom trailer
  
  
• A generator for power
  
  

The result?
A beautiful ceremony, a comfortable reception, and zero stress about guest comfort.

We were proud to be a small part of a day they’ll remember forever.

What Guests Don’t See (But Absolutely Matters)

Behind the scenes, we take weddings seriously.

Before every event:

• Trailers are professionally cleaned by a third-party cleaner
  
  
• Our team inspects, restocks, and tests everything
  
  
• Odor-control procedures are in place before and after events
  
  

After the event, we follow a proven process to ensure the unit is fresh and ready for the next couple — no lingering smells, no shortcuts.

Budget vs Experience: Being Honest About Costs

Here’s a general idea of what couples can expect when comparing options:

• Standard porta potties: around $260
  
  
• Flush or upgraded units: mid-range pricing
  
  
• Luxury washroom trailers: $1,500 and up
  
  

The price difference comes down to more than just the unit itself. It affects:

• Guest comfort
  
  
• Cleanliness
  
  
• Overall experience
  
  
• Stress levels during planning and on the wedding day
  
  

Trying to save money by cutting corners often creates more worry than it’s worth. We always encourage couples to choose the best option their budget allows and feel confident in that decision.

For smaller weddings or tighter budgets, event-grade portable toilets can still be a solid choice when they’re properly serviced and maintained.

Why Couples Trust The Lux Loo

We’re not a big national rental company or a “drop-and-go” provider.

Couples choose us because:

• We communicate clearly about power, access, and setup needs
  
  
• We share real photos of our units
  
  
• Our drivers walk clients through the trailer before leaving
  
  
• We answer the phone during the event if something comes up
  
  

We genuinely care about what we deliver and who we serve.

As we like to say:

We’ve been putting cheeks in seats since 2019 — and doing it right.
