The Hat Bar Across Northern California
From Healdsburg wine country to the Monterey Peninsula — we travel wherever your event takes us.
Naked Hats started in the South Bay and grew across the Bay Area. But the events that keep bringing us back are the ones outside the urban core — the winery weddings in Healdsburg, the coastal celebrations in Monterey, the private estate parties in Sonoma, the corporate offsites in Carmel.
Northern California is extraordinary event country. And we travel to all of it.
We’ve brought the hat bar to Monterey Car Week. To Healdsburg wine country. To Santa Cruz beach venues. And every time, the experience is the same: guests who weren’t expecting much end up spending 20 to 40 minutes at the bar, completely absorbed, and walking away with something they genuinely love.
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.
Wine Country —
Napa · Sonoma · Healdsburg
The wine country event market is one of the most beautiful and most competitive in California. Winery weddings, corporate retreats at estate venues, private celebrations in the vineyards — these are the events where every detail matters and every activity needs to feel premium.
The hat bar is a natural fit. The aesthetic is warm, personal, and hands-on — exactly the right energy for a wine country event. And the finished hat, worn through the rest of the evening against those vineyard views, makes for genuinely stunning photography.
Venues we’ve worked at or near: Healdsburg · Dry Creek Valley · Alexander Valley · Napa Valley · Sonoma Valley · Calistoga · St. Helena · Yountville
Monterey · Carmel · Pebble Beach
The Monterey Peninsula draws some of the most high-profile events in California — Monterey Car Week, Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, corporate incentive events at world-class resorts, and private celebrations at some of the most stunning coastal venues in the US.
We’ve activated at Monterey Car Week for The Luxury Collection with 350 guests. We know how to operate at the premium end of the market this region demands.
Venues we work at: Pebble Beach Resorts · Carmel Valley Ranch · Monterey Conference Center · The Portola Hotel · Hyatt Regency Monterey · private estates across Carmel and Pebble Beach
Santa Cruz · Capitola · Aptos
Santa Cruz has a relaxed, creative energy that suits the hat bar perfectly. Beach weddings, outdoor corporate events, festival-style activations — the hat bar brings exactly the right hands-on, genuinely fun experience to this market.
