Weddings & ranches
What do Gilroy weddings and ranch parties need?
Gilroy weddings and parties at Hecker Pass and Uvas-area ranches often use a restroom trailer or VIP units. A restroom trailer needs a level spot, truck access, a standard 110-volt 20-amp outlet within about 50 feet, and a garden-hose connection. Gravel ranch drives work; soft dirt after winter rain does not.
