Details of a Hat Party
What is a Hat Party?
A Hat Party is a unique, hands-on experience where guests design custom hats with our expert hatmakers. It’s a one-of-a-kind event that blends creativity, bonding, and luxury craftsmanship, experiential shopping—perfect for bachelor and bachelorette parties, friends trips, corporate team building, executive retreats, or client appreciation.
How Does It Work?
We provide the True West Hats design experience for your event. Each guest will choose from premium hat bodies (fur felt or straw, based on the season and desire), then personalize their hat with bands, branding, feathers, and more. Our artisans guide each person through the process to create a one-of-a-kind piece.
How many People Can Participate
We can accommodate groups up to 50 people depending on the format and location. For larger events or festivals, contact us for a custom plan. For us to travel to you, we require a $4,000 minimum guaranteed purchase. Otherwise, we can accommodate any size at our design studio in West Sedona.
Every Hat Party includes:
- Custom hat design session with our hatmakers
- A selection of premium hat materials (fur felt or handwoven straw)
- Hat shaping, fitting, and finishing
- Custom band bar with premium trimmings
- Optional: Initials branded
- Additional: On-site photographer or videographer
- Additional: Branded company logo branding (with enough lead time)
- Additional: Cater in with local wines and food
How Long Does the Experience Take Place?
Depending on the group size, hat parties last 2–4 hours. We recommend allocating 20–30 minutes per guest for the full design experience.
Costs
Pricing ranges based on hat materials chosen. $150 for a summer straw hat, and starting $450 to $1,000 per person for either a rabbit fur or beaver fur hat plus the cost of designed hatband. This all depends on the hat material and level of customization. This will be assessed when the party is booked by contacting us directly. Expect a downpayment fee to secure the date for your party assessed on an individual basis.
Hat Party Testimonial
"April and Charlie of True West Hats created such a fun and authentic experience for our Global Executives Retreat. They make the most beautiful hats, with the ability to have each be in some way unique to the individual, in a really fun engaging way. April was our main point of contact from day one, and was an absolute delight to work with from the moment we reached out. Thank you to you both so much! " Carley
