What Human Tables (Living Tables) are
Human Tables are living tables where a themed performer is part of the table itself, moving through the event offering food directly to guests.
We have a range of human tables for corporate events, private parties, shopping centre promotions and hotel entertainment: a piece of décor that walks and interacts at the same time.
How Living Tables work at an event
Here's how Human Tables works, step by step:
- The themed performer moves through the area where the guests are.
- She offers the food straight from her living table.
- The table moves on its wheels, so a flat floor is needed.
- Guests can interact and chat with her throughout the service.

Human Table technical requirements
The table runs on wheels so it can move between areas, but it can't go up or down stairs or pass through gaps narrower than 1.50 m.
The event floor must be flat and clear of obstacles.
Human Table options and specialities
Alongside the food service, the Human Table can be combined with different specialities:
- A host serving food
- A violinist
- A juggler
- Close-up magic
It adapts to many other specialities, depending on what the event calls for.
Themed customisation of the Human Table
We adapt to any event theme. There's a standard design for the Living Tables; for something different, our tailor can make it to order with at least 1 month's notice. Bespoke designs are quoted separately.
The living table can also be dressed to match the event's theme, with flowers, lights and bespoke décor.
What events the Human Table is ideal for
Human Tables fit many formats:
- Weddings and family celebrations
- Corporate parties and product launches
- Trade fairs and shopping centre promotions
- Hotel entertainment
- Private events and special celebrations
Living table for product tastings, corporate drinks and weddings
Service with a show
A living table for product tastings at fairs takes your product to the visitor instead of waiting for them to reach the stand. The performer walks the aisles offering samples and conversation, and every stop becomes a mini promotional action. The product wins people over with their eyes before their taste buds.
At a corporate drinks reception, the living table replaces the usual tray with original roaming catering that gets people talking from the first minute. At a wedding reception, it can serve canapés or sweets while the couple are having photos taken. To hire human tables in Barcelona or any other city, tell us the theme and duration and we will prepare a quote.

Human Table hire price
When we quote for the Human Tables, we look at the duration, the theme, any additional speciality you book and whether you want a custom design. Write to us and we'll get a personalised, no-obligation quote to you.
Set-up and hire across Spain
Human Tables can be booked anywhere in the country: around 80% of our events take place outside Barcelona, in cities such as Madrid, Valencia, Seville, Zaragoza and Vigo.
Set-up is simple, but it's worth checking the table's route beforehand: flat floor, no steps and gaps wider than 1.50 m. The performer also needs somewhere to change before going out.
Booking the Human Tables
Our procedure to book the Human Table is short: you pay 50% up front (with an invoice) and email us: day and time of the celebration, exact address and an on-site contact, the theme you want and any additional speciality, whether you prefer a standard or custom design and your invoicing information.
If you have to call it off for a justified reason, we weigh up a refund under the conditions we have agreed.
Frequently asked questions
What are Human Tables or Living Tables?
They are living tables in which a themed performer is part of the table itself and walks around the event offering food directly to guests. The table is 150 cm in diameter and has wheels. Human Tables combine decoration, service and entertainment in a single booking.
What space do Human Tables need?
They need a flat floor free of obstacles. The table cannot go up stairs or through spaces narrower than 1.50 m. It needs no electricity, but the performer needs a space to get dressed before entering the room. It is worth checking the route before the event.
What events are Human Tables suitable for?
Human Tables suit weddings, corporate parties, product launches, trade fairs, shopping centre promotions and hotel entertainment. They work particularly well at cocktail receptions, finger-food moments and tastings, because the food reaches guests without them having to go to the buffet.
Can the theme of the Human Tables be customised?
Yes. We have a standard design and adapt to the theme of your event with flowers, lights and decoration. If you want a different dress, our tailor can make one to measure, as long as you ask at least 1 month in advance. Custom designs are quoted separately.
Can Human Tables be combined with other acts?
Yes. The same Human Table performer can add violin, juggling or close-up magic, and it can be adapted to other specialities depending on what the event requires. The service lasts from 1 hour, extendable by the hour, and it is usually booked for the finger-food slot.
