When planning an event — whether a wedding, funeral, church gathering, or corporate function — portable toilets often get overlooked… until the queue starts building!
At Galaxy Events, we’ve hired out toilets for all kinds of occasions across Zimbabwe, and one of the most common questions we get is:
“How many toilets do I actually need?”
Here’s a simple guide to help you plan:
1️⃣ Base your count on the number of guests
👉 Rule of thumb: 1 toilet per 50–75 guests for short events (up to 4–6 hours).
👉 For full-day events or events with food/drink: 1 toilet per 35–50 guests.
2️⃣ Consider the type of event
- Weddings: More toilets improve comfort (especially for ladies).
- Funerals: At least 2–4 units for most services + repast.
- Church gatherings: Large outdoor events often need 4+ units.
- Corporate functions: 1 unit per 35–50 staff/attendees.
3️⃣ Don’t forget duration
Longer events → more toilet use → more units needed or servicing required.
