Toilet Hire for Marquees: What You Need to Know
Marquee events offer flexibility, privacy and a great setting for weddings, parties and corporate occasions. However, because marquees are temporary structures, toilet provision requires careful planning to ensure guest comfort and smooth event operation.
At Cambridge Luxury Toilets, we regularly supply luxury portable toilets for marquee events across Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. This guide explains what to consider when arranging toilet hire for a marquee and why quality facilities make such a difference.
Why Marquee Events Need Dedicated Toilet Planning
Unlike permanent venues, marquees do not include built-in facilities. Even when a nearby building is available, relying on internal toilets can cause:
- Long queues
- Guest movement away from the event area
- Increased wear on venue facilities
- Poor flow during peak times
Hiring dedicated luxury toilets ensures guests remain close to the marquee and have access to clean, comfortable facilities throughout the event.
Positioning Toilets Near a Marquee
Correct placement is essential. Toilets should be:
- Close enough for convenience
- Far enough to avoid noise or odours
- Easily accessible for all guests
- Positioned on firm, level ground
Our team will advise on the best positioning during setup, ensuring toilets are discreet, practical and well integrated into the event layout.
Why Luxury Toilets Work Best for Marquees
Marquee events are often formal occasions, particularly weddings and private celebrations. Basic temporary toilets can feel out of place in these settings.
Our luxury portable toilets offer:
- Spacious interiors
- Large mirrors and vanity areas
- Hot and cold running water
- LED lighting for evening events
- A clean, modern appearance
These features help the facilities feel like a natural extension of the marquee rather than a separate, purely functional addition. You can view examples on our Luxury Units page.
Marquee Weddings and Guest Comfort
Marquees are a popular choice for weddings, especially in rural and countryside locations. Guest comfort is critical, and toilets play a bigger role than many people expect.
Our Wedding Toilets are designed to provide:
- Space for formal attire
- Well-lit mirrors for touch-ups
- Comfortable handwashing areas
- A calm, private environment
This helps maintain the standard expected at wedding celebrations.
Lighting Matters for Marquee Toilet Hire
Many marquee events continue into the evening, making lighting essential. Our toilets are fitted with LED lighting to ensure:
- Clear visibility after dark
- A welcoming interior
- Safe access during evening hours
Lighting also complements the overall look of a marquee event, particularly during winter or shorter daylight periods.
Corporate and Private Marquee Events
Marquees are also used for:
- Corporate hospitality
- Product launches
- Company celebrations
- Private parties
Our Corporate Event Toilets provide a professional solution that reflects the quality of the event and supports smooth guest flow.
How Many Toilets Do You Need for a Marquee?
The number of toilets required depends on:
- Guest numbers
- Event duration
- Alcohol service
- Access to nearby permanent facilities
