To bring massage to an office, conference or party, book a company that sends a team of licensed therapists with their own chairs or tables. Most quote per therapist per hour. Tell them your headcount, schedule and space, and they will propose the staffing.
Bigtoe publishes this guide and is one of the options below. Details about other companies come from their public pages as of October 2026.
Chair or table massage
- Chair massage: fully clothed, no oils, usually 5 to 15 minutes a guest. Best for offices, conferences, trade shows and large groups.
- Table massage: a more relaxing session, usually 15 to 30 minutes a guest at events and full sessions at private parties. Best for bachelorette parties, bridal parties, retreats and small groups.
- Many events mix both, for example chair rotations in a lobby and table sessions in a quieter room.
Who to hire
- Bigtoe: chair, table or hybrid massage for corporate wellness days, conferences, team retreats, bachelorette parties, bridal parties and family gatherings in 40+ US cities. Quoted with hourly rates per therapist, with a clear proposal before you confirm. Offices can set a weekly, monthly or quarterly schedule with 12, 15 or 20 minute sessions that employees book themselves.
- Zeel: corporate chair massage in many US cities.
- Soothe: corporate wellness programs for employers.
- Local event-massage companies: many cities have small firms that specialize in events. Good for one-off local events; check licensing and insurance.
How to plan it
- Work out the headcount and how long the massage should run.
- Pick a format: chair rotations for big groups, table sessions for small ones.
- Reserve a quiet area; a power outlet is optional.
- For larger events, book one to two weeks ahead to secure your preferred time.
- Ask for licensing and liability insurance, especially for corporate venues that require a certificate of insurance.
Parties and weddings
For a bachelorette party at an Airbnb or a bridal party getting ready at a hotel, book table massage with one therapist for every two to three guests so sessions run in parallel. Therapists bring everything; you provide a room for each table.
Frequently asked questions
How much does event massage cost?
Most companies charge an hourly rate per therapist, plus any travel or special requests. Bigtoe sends a written quote based on your headcount, schedule and format before you confirm.
How many therapists do I need?
Divide the number of guests by how many each therapist can see in the time you have. Chair sessions take 5 to 15 minutes a guest; table sessions at events take 15 to 30 minutes.
Can you come on short notice?
Often, yes. For larger events, booking one to two weeks ahead gives the best chance of your preferred time.
What do we need to provide?
Very little. Therapists bring chairs, tables and supplies. Reserve a clear area and allow a few minutes for setup and cleanup.
