The Seattle Hat Bar Experience

Hoyle Hat Co. · The Seattle Hat Shop

The Seattle Hat Bar — Luxury, Handmade, Unforgettable

Hoyle Hat’s traveling Seattle Hat Bar turns hotels, wineries, barns, rooftops, and ballrooms into live hat studios. From Four Seasons Seattle poolside summers to downtown hotels, weddings, and private wine-club nights, we build custom brims on-site so your guests leave with a one-of-a-kind Seattle-made heirloom.

Every activation blends fine hat-making, storytelling, and the energy of your event: steam, shaping, burning, trim selection, initials branded into the crown — all happening live in front of your guests.

From Four Seasons to Wine Country Barns

Over the last several years, Hoyle Hat has quietly become a go-to experiential partner for high-touch events across the Pacific Northwest. Our summer series at Four Seasons Seattle turned the pool deck into a sunset hat studio. Wine producers have invited us into barrel rooms and barns for post-harvest celebrations. Couples have trusted us with their wedding weekends — from welcome parties to day-after brunches.

Wherever we set up, the Hat Bar becomes a conversation magnet and a take-home memory that doesn’t end when the night does.

Hat Bar — Frequently Asked Questions

A few quick answers before you reach out.

Where do you travel?

We’re based in downtown Seattle and regularly serve hotels, wineries, and venues across the Puget Sound, Eastern Washington, and select out-of-state destinations.

How many guests can you handle?

We scale staffing and hat inventory to your event. Intimate 20-person welcome party or 200-guest corporate activation — we’ll design the right flow.

What does pricing look like?

Pricing depends on hat materials, guest count, location, and schedule. Most hosts choose a per-guest budget with premium upgrade paths.

Do you offer ready-to-wear and full customs?

Yes. We can run high-volume ready-to-wear bars or slower, fully custom builds for VIP experiences — or split the room between both.

Can you co-brand with our winery / hotel / company?

Absolutely. We can incorporate subtle brand marks, event icons, or initials into the trim or branding for a keepsake that still feels elevated.
