A Bay Area Private Party to Remember.
How a Single-Unit Solution Transformed a Private Birthday Celebration at Menlo Circus Club into a Five-Star Experience.
One San Francisco family set out to celebrate their daughter’s 30th birthday in style. They transformed their Pacific Heights backyard into a lush, cocktail-party venue. Catering, music, and florals were already in place. However, one detail remained unresolved: 75 guests, flowing drinks, and no access to indoor restrooms. That’s when they turned to The Water Cottage.
Elegance in
Limited Space.
“It didn’t just work, it actually looked like it belonged there.” – Julianne C., Homeowner & Host
A Polished Presence in a Tight Driveway.
The property’s side driveway was just nine feet wide, with a gate, garden bed, and overhead foliage to consider. Our delivery team coordinated with the homeowner during a site visit. They measured clearances and confirmed access. With every detail mapped out, the team was easily prepared to navigate the tight space.
We arrived early the next morning with extra spotters. By 10 a.m., the team had skirted, styled, and stocked the 12-foot unit. Faux hydrangeas were in the flower box, linen towels were stacked neatly, and the Nest diffuser filled the air.
The trailer sat perfectly level and remained out of sight from the party’s view. String lights draped overhead, tying the setup into the space. Every detail works together to create a great experience.
An Unexpected
Event Highlight.
“We didn’t have to clean anything. That alone was worth it.” – Dani R., Co-Host
A Bathroom Experience That Left Guests Talking.
The guest experience at private events often overlooks one critical detail, but guests never miss it. At this celebration, the luxury trailer became an unexpected star. Compliments rolled in all night. Guests mentioned the incredible scent, the flattering lighting, and the perfectly balanced music. One even described it as “a boutique hotel bathroom tucked into an alley.”
Best of all, it allowed the hosts to keep their homes completely private. There were no wet footprints, messy floors, or crowded hallways, just privacy, elegance, and peace of mind. The hosts could enjoy the satisfaction of a flawless event without the stress of cleanup or disruption.
Left Without a Trace.
“You all did your job so well, we didn’t even notice you were there. That’s rare.” – M.S., Property Manager
Quiet In, Quiet Out.
The event wrapped by 11 p.m., and the hosts requested an early morning pickup to avoid street parking conflicts. At 6:45 a.m., our team arrived fully prepped, quiet, and efficient. Within 25 minutes, we had retracted the skirting and rolled up the cords. Then we pulled away, without leaving a single mark on the sidewalk or driveway.
For city hosts, discretion and reliability matter just as much as styling. Our clients trust us to respect their property and operate discreetly so their guests can enjoy the spotlight. This attention to detail ensures that every event runs smoothly, with not a single detail left to chance.
