Is it safe? How much does it cost? Can it be branded? How much space does it need? We've answered every question event planners and hosts ask before booking — organized so you can find exactly what you need fast.
An oxygen bar is a wellness station where guests inhale concentrated, aromatherapy-infused oxygen through a single-use nasal cannula. We deliver around 90–92% pure oxygen — compared to the 21% found in normal air — filtered in real time by medical-grade concentrators.
There are no tanks, no pressure systems, and no medical setup involved. It's a social, interactive experience that leaves guests feeling refreshed, focused, and energized — typically within just a few minutes of their session.
Our oxygen concentrators pull in ambient air and filter out nitrogen, delivering highly concentrated oxygen through a tube connected to a nasal cannula. Guests choose one or more aromatherapy scents from our menu — the aromas are diffused through water so guests inhale oxygen lightly infused with the fragrance. Sessions typically run 5 to 20 minutes, and most guests feel noticeable effects within 3–5 minutes.
The most common effects guests report include:
Combined with aromatherapy, different scents can target different outcomes — eucalyptus for clarity, lavender for calm, peppermint for energy, and so on. The experience is notably popular at long corporate events, evening parties, and anywhere guests need a mid-event reset.
Most guests enjoy 5 to 10 minutes per session — enough to feel the energy boost without holding up the line. For smaller or VIP events, sessions can run up to 20 minutes. Our staff coaches each guest in real time so no one feels rushed. Guests are welcome to come back for additional sessions throughout the event.
Our standard menu includes 10+ aromatherapy blends: eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint, citrus, vanilla, cinnamon, spearmint, focus blends, energy blends, and stress-relief blends — plus seasonal options. All aromas are water-based and natural, not inhalable oils. Guests can mix scents to create their own combination. Custom or fully branded scent menus are available with advance notice.
Yes — for the vast majority of healthy adults, an oxygen bar is completely safe. Our equipment uses non-pressurized, low-flow oxygen and water-based aromas (never inhalable oils), and every guest receives a brand-new, sealed nasal cannula. Sessions are short, supervised, and run by trained staff.
Oxygen bars have been operating safely in spas, casinos, resorts, and events worldwide for over 25 years. It's no riskier than spending a few minutes outdoors on a clear mountain day.
Out of an abundance of caution, we recommend the following guests consult their doctor before participating:
Our equipment is non-medical and non-pressurized. For guests who are unsure, our staff is happy to answer questions and can gently redirect anyone who shouldn't participate. The experience is entirely voluntary — no guest is ever pressured.
Every single guest receives a brand-new, individually sealed nasal cannula — sterile, single-use, and disposed of immediately after their session. Cannulas are never reused or shared under any circumstances. This isn't an upcharge or an add-on — it's standard on every booking, every time. It's the same hygiene standard you'd find in a clinical setting, delivered with hospitality.
Our oxygen concentrators are medical-grade units used in clinical and therapeutic settings. However, an oxygen bar is classified as a recreational wellness experience, not a medical treatment — and we never position it as one. We make no medical claims about the experience. The equipment is safe, maintained, and operated by trained staff at every event.
We need roughly a 10×10 foot footprint and access to a standard 110V electrical outlet. The bar itself is approximately 7 feet wide and 5 feet tall at setup. We've fit into hotel ballroom corners, conference trade show floors, outdoor tents, rooftop terraces, and private estate patios. During booking we confirm exact dimensions and power requirements so there are no surprises at setup.
Setup typically takes under one hour. Our team arrives early — well before your event starts — so the bar is ready and looking sharp when your first guests walk in. Teardown is equally fast and quiet; we're out without disrupting your event's close. There is no additional fee for setup or teardown — it's all included.
Each bar can serve up to 12 guests simultaneously. A standard 4-hour event with one bar comfortably serves 200–400+ guests. For larger events — 1,000+ attendees or multi-day conferences — we deploy multiple stations to keep lines moving. During the quote process we'll right-size the setup for your specific guest count so you're never under- or over-equipped.
Yes — staffing is always included. Our trained team members run the bar from start to finish: greeting guests, explaining the experience, guiding scent selection, managing session timing, and maintaining hygiene standards throughout. You don't manage anything. We operate independently so you can focus on your event.
Our minimum booking is 2 hours. Most events book 4–6 hours. For multi-day conferences and trade shows we offer custom day-rate packages. We do not offer shorter rentals — the setup, staffing, and equipment logistics require a minimum time commitment to deliver the experience properly.
Pricing is all-inclusive and based on your event length, guest count, and whether custom branding is involved. There are no hidden fees — setup, teardown, staffing, equipment, sanitation, and brand-new cannulas for every guest are all included in one price.

Everything. One flat price covers:
The only additional charges are a flat travel fee for out-of-state events, and optional custom branding or specialty scents requested in advance.
As early as possible. Q4 (October–December), wedding season (May–September), and major conference dates in Silicon Valley fill 2–4 months out. For peak Saturdays we sometimes turn away requests with just two weeks' notice. If your date is firm, locking it in with a deposit now is always the right move — even if all the details aren't finalized yet.
It's three steps. First, submit your date through the or call us at (408) 444-7070 and we'll confirm within one business day. Second, we hop on a quick 15-minute discovery call to go over your event details, venue, branding, and goals. Third, you put down a deposit to lock in your date and we handle everything from there — booth design, scent selection, logistics, and staffing.
Yes, a deposit is required to hold your date. The deposit amount and payment schedule will be confirmed during your discovery call. We accept all major payment methods. Your date is not reserved until the deposit is received — so if you're looking at a high-demand date, we recommend moving quickly.
Absolutely — and this is one of the biggest reasons corporate clients and event planners book us. Every booth comes with a fully custom wrap featuring your logo, brand colors, and event theme. Your booth won't look like a generic rental — it'll look like an extension of your brand identity, designed to photograph and post beautifully.
We can customize:
Share your brand guidelines and event brief and we'll handle the design. Most custom wraps are finalized 1–2 weeks before the event.
Yes. If you don't need custom branding, we set up with a clean, premium OxygenBar360 presentation that still looks polished and professional. Unbranded setups have a shorter lead time and may have a slight pricing difference — we'll confirm during your discovery call.
Yes, and this is one of the highest-ROI activations in the experiential marketing space. The bar is inherently interactive and photogenic — guests naturally pull out their phones, tag sponsors, and share the experience. We've built activations for product launches, sponsor lounges, trade show floors, and conference networking spaces. If you have a specific brand goal, tell us during the discovery call and we'll structure the experience around it.
The oxygen bar works at virtually any event where you want guests to have an experience worth talking about. Our most popular bookings include:
In nearly every case, yes. We just need approximately a 10×10 footprint and a standard 110V outlet. We've set up in hotel ballrooms, convention center floors, outdoor tents, rooftop terraces, private estates, corporate campuses, warehouse venues, and more. If you're unsure about your venue, give us the details and we'll confirm whether we can make it work — in most cases we can.
Yes, with the right setup. Outdoor events require access to power (a generator is fine) and a sheltered or shaded area to protect the equipment and keep guests comfortable. We've done outdoor corporate picnics, festival activations, vineyard weddings, and open-air brand events. Let us know your outdoor setup during booking and we'll confirm requirements.
Yes — multi-day conferences are one of our best use cases. We offer custom day-rate packages for conferences and trade shows, and can staff multiple sessions across different days and conference tracks. For large events where we're running multiple bars simultaneously, we coordinate directly with your event operations team on load-in, power, and floor positioning. Reach out for a custom conference proposal.

Yes. We travel out-of-state for the right event. A flat travel fee covers flights, hotel, and logistics — no surprise charges.
