We use industry-standard formulas refined by our event experience to calculate appropriate quantities. The basic calculation considers: total number of guests, event duration, presence of food and alcohol service, gender distribution, and special needs requirements. For example, a 4-hour event with 250 people typically requires 3-4 standard units plus an ADA-accessible unit, but factors like alcohol service might increase this by 15-25%. During your consultation, we'll provide specific recommendations based on your event's unique characteristics.

For optimal planning and equipment availability, we recommend initiating event planning services 2-3 months prior to large events (500+ attendees) and 1-2 months before smaller gatherings. Peak season events (May-October in Western NC) benefit from earlier planning. Complex venues or remote locations may require additional lead time. For annual events, we suggest beginning planning for the next year shortly after the current event concludes, when observations and lessons are fresh.

Yes, we work seamlessly with other event professionals including venue managers, wedding planners, festival organizers, catering companies, and other service providers. We can participate in planning meetings, coordinate our services with overall event timelines, adjust schedules to accommodate other activities, and integrate our placement plans with overall site layouts. Our goal is to be a cooperative team member in creating successful events through effective collaboration.

Our planning process includes weather contingency considerations for all outdoor events. We develop strategies for placement that considers drainage, ground conditions, wind exposure, and access during inclement weather. For events during uncertain weather periods, we can create alternative placement plans, recommend weather-resistant units, provide covered waiting areas, and adjust service schedules if needed. During the event, our team monitors conditions and can implement contingency plans when necessary.

Accessibility is a core element of our planning process. We ensure appropriate quantities of ADA-compliant units (typically 10% of total units with a minimum of one), strategically place these units for convenient access, plan accessible pathways that meet ADA standards, consider terrain challenges specific to Western NC venues, and coordinate with event organizers to accommodate attendees with specific needs. Our goal is creating inclusive environments where all guests have comfortable, dignified access to facilities.
