Spring is here. And so is wedding season.

Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts.
-- William Shakespeare

Shakespeare had a romantic idea of love and marriage, however every bride knows the stress of planning the wedding of their dreams.

Once a woman has found the perfect man, the search begins for the perfect dress, perfect cake and perfect wedding location. Whether the ultimate outdoor nuptials are planned or a simple backyard ceremony, the dedicated staff of Royal Restrooms^®understands the importance of this once in a life time special day. The company is committed to assisting with your restroom needs with professionalism and total confidence so that that brides and wedding planners may rest assured that guests will be treated to luxury.

An outdoor wedding can be quaint and cozy or the party of the decade or anywhere in between. In any case, bathrooms should not be an afterthought. If the event will be held in a home or small venue, while restrooms may be available, they may not be adequate. If no facilities exist, restrooms must be a priority.

The average person uses the toilet once every three hours. If alcohol and food are abundant wedding fare, usage will increase significantly. As a rule, the average “home” toilet can accommodate 25 guests without causing guests to wait in line. Considering the amount of uses, not guests, is important. Residential areas are equipped with a certain amount of sewage or septic capacity and if a homeowner's land is unincorporated, the septic system might have less capacity.

All restrooms should be designated as either for men and another for women. This will safeguard against embarrassing accidents. The usage for the ladies restrooms is usually higher therefore extra women’s stalls may be needed. Consider any wedding guests in wheelchairs or are otherwise disabled who will need an easily accessible toilet. America Disabilities Act (ADA) restrooms are available which allow for more convenient use.

If a couple has decided on an outdoor wedding in a public place, like a beach or park, the sheer nature of a “public place” can cause a dilemma. Securing restrooms for the exclusive use of wedding guest will ensure a clean, comfortable and private experience.

Consider employing a restroom attendant to ensure the toilet facilities are kept in pristine condition. No matter how pristine the restrooms may arrive at an event, not every guest will use their best manners. An attendant will be able to clean up any spills, wipe counters, freshen the air, and restock toilet tissue. Also, if any issues with the restroom should arise, it can be handled by the attendant with little disruption to the bridal party.

A wedding should be a memorable event but not because of a messy restroom or septic issue. Royal Restrooms is the industry standard for full service portable restrooms. With options for every location and budget, a Royal Restroom is the perfect solution for your perfect day.

If you gotta go...go for Goodwill

Many times non-profit organizations ask us what they can do as a fundraiser to help support their cause and provide a Royal Restroom experience to the guests at large events. One such example of a non-profit we have worked with for two years now is Goodwill in Savannah.

St. Patrick's Day brings over 400,000 people to Savannah, the corporate headquarters of Royal Restrooms. St. Patrick's Day is not a one day festival but days of green as far as the eye can see. With that many people in town for the festivities, bathrooms are always at a premium.Working with Goodwill Industries of the Coastal Empire, Royal Restrooms provided portable restrooms for the Irish and honorary Irish alike for the 2008 and 2009 celebrations, centering on historic River Street.

People who wished to enjoy a clean luxurious restroom were able to buy a hand stamp for $5 which was good for the entire day. Proceeds from the hand stamp sales benefit Goodwill Industries and its numerous programs.

Goodwill provided volunteers to man the restrooms, Royal Restrooms provided staff to help trouble shoot and our guests were trilled with the idea of having a clean restroom to use for the day for one price which helps a local charity.

Because all Royal Restrooms’ units have sinks with running water, flushing porcelain toilets, hand soap and premium paper products, stylish décor, and even air conditioning and heat. This means that no visitor to Savannah was forced to use a portapotty, a dirty bar bathroom or to take their children "behind a tree", which, by the way is illegal in our fair city.

“We appreciate the opportunity to partner again with a premier company such as Royal Restrooms that is committed to our community and supports Goodwill Industries mission to assist people with disabilities and other barriers to employment to live independently and become employed.” says, Bill Oakley, President/CEO, Goodwill Industries of the Coastal Empire.

Goodwill Industries of the Coastal Empire, Inc. provides job training, employment services, job placement opportunities and post employment support to strengthen communities and families by training people to become independent, tax-paying members of society. Those services include ADVANCE, a community re-entry program for people with acquired brain injury. When someone is having a hard time finding a job– either because of a disability, poverty or lack of experience–Goodwill is there to help.
