Luxury toilet units are a popular choice for weddings and premium events, but many couples and organisers ask the same question:
“Do luxury toilets need water or electricity?”
Here’s a simple checklist to help you understand what’s required and whether luxury toilets are suitable for your venue.
Do luxury toilets need water?
No. Modern luxury toilet units are self-contained and do not require a water connection.
Do luxury toilets need electricity?
Yes. Luxury toilet trailers require a 240V electricity supply, which can come from:
- Mains power at the venue, or
- A suitable generator
If you’re unsure, your venue or hire company can advise.
Can luxury toilets be used outdoors?
Yes. As long as:
- The ground is reasonably level
- There is suitable access for delivery
- Power is available
Luxury toilets are ideal for outdoor, marquee and rural weddings.
When are luxury toilets the best option?
Luxury toilets are particularly suited to:
- Weddings
- Corporate events
- Private parties
- Venues with limited permanent facilities
For simpler events, portable toilets may be more suitable.
What else should I consider?
- Discreet placement close to the venue
- Evening usage (toilets are used more after dark)
- Guest comfort and presentation
