Rent a Generator and Bathrooms
Take a moment to think about the electrical components essential to your celebration. Many backyard weddings require an additional power source to supplement their primary generator. When you think about it, power is required by the caterer, lighting and band or DJ. Also, your two- or three-bathroom home may not have the capacity to serve your entire guest list. So it is important to consider a bathroom rental.
