I don't own a steamy wonder, I did get to experience it as a demonstration in a Spa Therapies weekend workshop at massage school. It wasn't used in place of the wrap, but in conjunction with it. I steamed for about 15 minutes, then was moved to a different table for the wrap. Also this was an herbal wrap, not seaweed or mud. With the herbal wrap, there is no product to remove from the skin.
Also, if I remember correctly, the steamy wonder was a bit like a pup tent (totally enclosed), with the canopy zipping (or velcro) away from the bottom. I'd think if you were using one table, after removing product from the skin, you would have the client stand up, remove the steamy wonder (& if you had your table made up underneath, hopefully it didn't get wet or messy) then the client could get back on the table for massage.

To avoid being clumsy & messy, best to use the steamy wonder as a steam treatment. Do your wraps the way you normally would after the steam canopy. On a different treatment table, if possible.

The main thing to check with clients is whether or not they are claustrophobic, & be prepared to take them out if they feel uncomfortable. Because of the steam, some people feel like they have a hard time breathing, and if they are really tall, be careful their feet aren't being scalded by the steam.
