Sizing an event, not guessing
Attendance alone does not size an event. The three variables that actually move the number are how long guests are on site, whether food and alcohol are served, and how concentrated usage is — a ceremony creates a hard peak at the end that a steady-traffic festival never sees.
As a starting point, a four-hour event of 100 guests without alcohol is usually comfortable with two units. Extend that to eight hours and add a bar and you are realistically looking at four. These are planning assumptions we will state out loud when we quote, so you know exactly what the number is based on and can adjust it.
Placement for events
Screening beats distance. Guests will happily use a unit that is close if it is tucked behind a hedge, a tent wall or a trailer; they will resent a long walk to an exposed row. Keep units downwind and away from food service and seating, put the accessible unit closest to the accessible route, and light the path if the event runs past dark.
Give us a placement plan before delivery day. Moving units after tents, tables and cabling are in place is slow and sometimes impossible.
Booking timeline
Summer Saturdays in Lake County — graduation weekends in particular — are the tightest dates on the calendar. If your date is fixed, book as soon as the venue is confirmed. If your date is flexible, a Friday or Sunday is easier to serve and easier to schedule around.
