Colorado Mountain Wedding Restroom Guide

Written By Samuel J Herrera

Colorado mountain weddings are unforgettable, but they also require more behind-the-scenes planning than weddings in Denver or Boulder. One of the most important details is restroom access.

This guide explains exactly what you need to know if your wedding is in Vail, Breckenridge, Estes Park, Aspen, Winter Park, or any mountain location.

Why Mountain Weddings Need Restroom Planning

Mountain venues often have:

  • Long distances between ceremony and reception sites

  • No indoor plumbing nearby

  • Limited parking or tight access roads

  • Steep terrain

  • Variable weather conditions

Restroom trailers provide a reliable, comfortable solution for guests.

Altitude and Weather Factors

High-elevation weddings require special consideration.
Expect the following:

Higher hydration
Guests drink more water at altitude, which increases restroom usage.

Cold evenings
Even in July and August, mountain nights can drop into the 30s and 40s. Heated trailers prevent discomfort.

Rain, wind, and snow
Trailers may need leveling and careful placement to avoid mud or soft ground.

Power and Water in Remote Locations

Most mountain weddings use:

  • A generator for power

  • The trailer’s onboard fresh water tank

If a spigot is available nearby, we can connect to it, but many mountain venues do not have this option.

Placement Tips for Uneven Mountain Terrain

Plan for:

  • The flattest possible parking area

  • A clear path for trailer delivery

  • Adequate turning space

  • A location close enough for easy access but far enough to stay out of photos

Best Trailer Sizes for Mountain Weddings

This is based on what consistently works well at elevation:

Up to 100 guests

  • 3-Station trailer

100–200 guests

  • 5-Station trailer

200–300 guests

  • 5-Station plus an ADA option

  • Or two trailers if the site layout requires it

Mountain weddings almost always use one size larger than a comparable Denver event due to hydration and weather.

Most Common Mountain Wedding Locations We Serve

  • Vail

  • Beaver Creek

  • Breckenridge

  • Estes Park

  • Aspen and Snowmass

  • Winter Park and Fraser
