00Event toilet units — practical guide

Toilet-unit hire for weddings & professional events

On an estate, a meadow, a château courtyard or an industrial site, toilet units are the most often underestimated service of an outdoor event. A queue at 11pm in the rain, a unit out of service in the middle of the evening or an unlit path are enough to sharply degrade the guest experience. Our self-contained modules are sized to absorb the real peak in footfall — not the theoretical average — and supplied with a complete kit: LED lighting, soap, paper, hand-sanitiser dispensers, forced ventilation, wayfinding signage.

Three criteria drive the choice of module: the real capacity (and not the declared capacity — a wedding of 150 people with an open bar generates traffic comparable to an event of 200 people), the operating duration (a 2-hour cocktail and a wedding that lasts 12 hours do not call for the same tank capacity) and the nature of the site (availability of water, electricity, tanker access for any pumping).

We operate across mainland France, with delivery the day before or the morning of the event and takedown the next day. For festivals, trade shows and large gatherings, technical on-call cover with overnight pumping is offered as an option.

Our team supports event organisers across France with a complete tent hire offer sanitaires. Event toilet units are self-contained units of toilets and washbasins, designed for sites that have none or to reinforce existing facilities when the capacity demands it. Self-contained water, interior lighting, ventilation and a simple electrical connection. We operate across the whole country, with teams that can be mobilised quickly to coordinate the setup, the access and the technical equipment. For an outdoor wedding, a corporate cocktail reception or a private reception, we size the structure, the guest flow and the technical options (flooring, lighting, heating, lining) to deliver a result that is durable, clear and consistent with your budget.

Our sanitaires formats

Our toilet unit fleet includes modules of 4 to 16 facilities (4 WC + 2 washbasins per module), with washbasins, interior lighting, ventilation and self-contained water (clean-water and waste-water tanks).

The modules are self-contained in water and require only a simple 220V socket for the lighting and the pumps. No connection to the site's water is required in the majority of cases.

Prices and budget for sanitaires hire

The price of the toilet units depends on the number of facilities, the hire duration and the delivery distance. The cost is generally expressed per module per day.

We include delivery, commissioning, emptying and disinfection at the end of the service. Systematic disinfection before every hire.

For a tent hire service sanitaires in France, you receive a full estimate within 24 h including delivery, setup, takedown and logistics coordination.

Setup, installation and logistics for sanitaires

Our teams handle the installation and delivery across the whole country, with a precise schedule agreed in advance with your reception venue.

Delivery and installation of the toilet units are carried out the day before or the morning of the event. Commissioning includes levelling the trailer, filling the tanks and a functional test.

The location is confirmed with you during the technical visit: delivery access, orientation relative to the main tent, and visual discretion from the reception space.

En haute saison (mai à septembre, surtout pour les mariages), nous recommandons de réserver 4 à 6 mois à l'avance pour avoir le choix complet du catalogue. En basse saison ou pour les événements corporate, 4 à 8 semaines suffisent généralement. Pour les projets urgents, nous évaluons les disponibilités au cas par cas et envoyons un devis détaillé sous 24h avec un plan d'exécution réaliste.

Notre catalogue couvre tous les formats : tente verrière et verrière cathédrale (prestige signature), orangerie (prestige grand siècle), chapiteau de 5 à 20 m de large, tente stretch nomade (tente berbère) de 50 à plus de 500 m², tente cristal transparente, tente silhouette (sailcloth), chapiteau bambou, tipi de réception, tente vélum, tente arquée, pagodes modulaires (3×3 m à 6×12 m), barnums, tentes pliantes, tentes rooftop, structures sur pont boisée, auvents, ainsi que hangars démontables, tentes de stockage et grands volumes pour les usages B2B.

En ordre de grandeur, comptez entre 15 et 40 € HT/m² pour la structure installée selon la gamme. Un événement privé de 80 à 120 personnes se situe généralement entre 2 000 et 5 500 €, un projet corporate de 150 à 250 personnes entre 4 500 et 12 000 €, et un grand événement type festival au-dessus de 12 000 €.

02Toilet-unit FAQ

Everything you need to know before you order

The reference rule: 1 WC unit per 25 to 30 guests for an event of more than 4 hours with a drinks service. For 150 guests, you therefore plan for 6 WC units minimum, which corresponds to a 12-unit module (8 WCs + 4 washbasins) in a male/female separation configuration. For weddings with an open bar extending to 3am, this sometimes rises to 8 units to absorb the late-evening peaks in footfall.

No. Our modules are 100% self-contained: a clean-water tank (between 500 and 2,000 L depending on the model), a separate waste-water tank, self-sufficient or mains-connected LED lighting, forced ventilation. A single 220 V socket is enough as an option for the lighting and the pump; if no electricity is available, we provide a battery or a connection to the event's main generator.

Ideally between 15 and 40 metres: close enough to stay accessible (particularly for elderly guests or those with reduced mobility), far enough to avoid smell and noise nuisance. On sloping or wind-exposed sites, the modules are placed downwind of the prevailing wind. A marked path (aisle runner, lanterns, markers) is systematically added in the evening for safety and visual comfort.

For events of more than 250 guests or more than 8 hours of service, we systematically size with a safety margin (often +30% capacity) to avoid saturation. For festivals and large gatherings, we offer pumping on-call cover with a tanker passing through during the night. The clean-water tanks can themselves be refilled on site if necessary.

Yes. We offer PMR modules compliant with the NF standard (90 cm door width, grab rail, internal turning space). At ERP events, the PMR module is mandatory whenever a toilet facility is set up for the public. We provide the technical documentation (certificates, dimensioned plans, attestations) for the safety file.

For the high season (May to September), we recommend booking 3 to 6 months ahead, particularly for wedding weekends. In the low season, 2 to 4 weeks is enough. For urgent requests (less than 10 days), we deal with them case by case depending on fleet availability and the location of the site.
