Awards Ceremony Hat Bar — Bay Area
Honor Your People with Something They'll Actually Keep
Trophies collect dust. Plaques go in a closet. A custom hat gets worn — and every time it does, it reminds the wearer of the moment they were recognized.
Naked Hats brings a live hat customization bar to awards ceremonies and corporate recognition events across the Bay Area. Add the hat bar as a pre-show activation, a cocktail hour feature, or a post-ceremony celebration — it works at any point in the event.
Not Just Hats — and Not Just Any Patches
Not a hat person? No problem. Guests can choose from trucker hats, baseball caps, bucket hats, and beanies — or skip the hat entirely and design a laptop pouch, crossbody bag, tote bag, mini tote, and more. Everyone finds something they’ll actually use.
A patch collection you won’t find anywhere else. Our library spans hundreds of designs across a huge range of themes — sports, pop culture, food and drink, travel, nature, vintage finds, funny sayings, local pride, and more. Many are designed in-house, so the patches at your event are genuinely one of a kind.
Custom Designs for Your Organization
We work with your branding team to incorporate your logo, event theme, or year into the patch design. Every honoree walks away with a hat that’s specific to your event — not a generic keepsake.
Works for All Event Sizes
From an intimate department recognition dinner to a gala for 500, we scale our setup to match. We bring all equipment, staff the station, and handle everything so your team can focus on celebrating your people.
