Refined when it matters, Rowdy when it don't
Weddings, Bachelor/bachelorette parties, rehearsals, corporate events, or just wild weekends — we show up with a full hat bar where your guests will get to size, shape, design and brand their hats, right there in real time! They get to have an experience, wear their new hat, and leave with an amazing memory!
The full bar, whatever the occasion!
We haul in the racks, the tools, and the hats — straw, wool, and felt — and set up a working hat bar right at your venue. Guests pick a hat, we shape and size it to fit, and they can add a brand or two while everyone watches.
It's part open bar, part live show, and ALL fun! It turns an event into a memory.
We show up
Two dedicated hat enthusiasts — Justin and Jen — will pull up with a trailer full of fun! It'll look like we're moving in! It takes us up to 2 hours to set up, and an hour and a half to tear down to make sure we bring the best possible experience! If you've got the space, we'll bring the energy!
Live, in front of everyone
Shaping and branding happen right there. Guests take an active role in designing their one-of-a-kind, custom hat! They help guide our hands to create the perfect hat for them! Ask your friends for help or we can give suggestions, but half the fun for everyone is watching it all come together.
Where we've set up the bar
Weddings
A hat bar for the wedding party, or a live station for guests — either way, it photographs as well as it wears.
Bachelorette & Bridal Parties
Skip the matching sashes. Everyone leaves with a hat that's actually shaped to them.
Private & Corporate Events
Team parties, client events, milestone celebrations — a hat bar gives people something to do and something to keep.
A whole lotta hats
A running pile of moments from past hat bars — weddings, bachelorette parties, and everything in between.
What it costs
Setup (up to 2 hours) and teardown (about 90 minutes) happen before and after your 4 hours of live shaping — they're not counted against your event time. A $150 deposit holds your date and is fully refundable if you cancel 30+ days before the event.
Good to know
What's included in the base package?
Two pros (Justin and Jen), a full four hours of hat shaping, and travel within 60 miles of Madison — all for $750.
What if our event has more than 150 guests?
Reach out and we'll put together a custom quote based on your group size and timeline.
Can guests pre-order their hats before the event?
Yes — pre-ordered felt hats (7X and up) earn a $25 credit per hat toward your event cost, up to 6 hats / $150 max.
How does travel pricing work if we're outside Madison?
The first 60 miles are included in the base package. Beyond that it's a tiered add-on — $75, $150, or $225 depending on distance. Anything past 200 miles or requiring an overnight stay gets a custom quote.
Is the deposit refundable?
Yes — the $150 deposit that holds your date is fully refundable if you cancel 30+ days before the event.
What will the hat bar bring?
We'll bring an assortment of 3X Wool felt, straw, and palm hats, plus any pre-order hats, ribbons, hatbands made of horse hair, leather, and beads. We'll have playing cards, feathers and Texas toothpicks to decorate with, and over 100 branding irons to choose from for that final customization.
What's required for the hat bar?
We have a lot of stuff, so a minimum of a 10' x 10' space is required, though 10' x 20' provides a better experience for everyone. We also require a strong, reliable electrical outlet to run our steamer. Last, we'll need a clear path to transport everything to where you want us, and a good big space to park the truck and trailer.
Let's get MOOOOOOvin on planning your hat bar event!
