It was a chilly evening, and I was frantically trying to set up a photo booth for a client’s corporate event. Everything that could go wrong did.

It was a chilly spring evening when I realized I had overlooked a critical aspect of event planning—luxury restroom trailers.

Guests seemed disengaged, and no matter how much high-tech equipment I deployed, the energy just didn’t translate. That’s when it hit me: without that one element—live magic—the entire experience felt incomplete….
