What this guest count means
For 150 guests, the baseline allocates 2 standard units and 1 ADA unit(s) within 3 total units; the ADA allowance is part of the total, not an extra unit. The rental budget is $425–$800. Using the guide's 25% alcohol adjustment and rounding up gives 4 units and $550–$1,050: the low endpoint is $125 higher and the high endpoint is $250 higher than the baseline.
Compare the 200-guest plan: it uses 4 baseline units and $550–$1,050 in base rental. For your 150-guest plan, the low endpoint is $125 lower and the high endpoint is $250 lower. Unit counts change in whole steps because the guide rounds up after dividing guests by 50. Both plans assume a 4–6 hour event; neither total includes tax or extra pump-outs.
For a 4–6 hour event with 150 guests, start here:
- Baseline: 3 units total (2 standard, 1 ADA)
- With alcohol (~+25%): 4 units total (3 standard, 1 ADA)
- Estimated rental (baseline): $425–$800 (event day)
- Estimated rental (with alcohol): $550–$1,050 (event day)
Assumptions: 1 unit/50 guests baseline; +25% if serving alcohol; ≥5% ADA (≥1). Pricing uses event-day ranges for standard and ADA from our 2026 dataset.
