PARK CITY, Utah — The team behind JW Bennett provides clients with hand-made hats that match their individuality; it also provides unique and memorable hat-making experiences.

From corporate retreats to bachelorette parties and wine nights, JW Bennett handcrafts private events for an even more personal touch. There is no event too large or too small to provide clients with something of the American West.

No matter the size of your group, JW Bennett prepares beforehand by producing hats and accessories to satisfy any group. JW Bennett also works with clients on their budgets. Clients can set a budget per hat or a total budget for the group to ensure everyone leaves with a piece as unique as they are.

“We fit clients for their hat size and they get to custom design their own hat. We shape the brims, brand their initials, and choose accessories on-site,” said Azria-Reucassel. “And because we don’t attach anything permanently to the hat, it becomes really personal and unique to the wearer. People enjoy the design process and talking about the different possibilities.”

One of the highlights of our winter in Park City was taking a close group of friends to JW Bennett for hat fittings. It was so much fun, and Lara helped us each find the perfect and unique hat with coordinating bands. -Amy P.

Partners Sarah Kjorstad and Lara Azria-Reucassel have traveled near and far to bring the shape of the Mountain West to others. From galas in Beaver Creek to private functions for Cartier and Tiffany and trunk shows for St. Regis and Waldorf Astoria Park City. Plan your event today.

Corporate Retreats

JW Bennett travels with you and brings the custom hat experience directly to your team to any destination. The design team recreates the in-house fitting, design, and personalization of its custom hats at the location of your choice. Your clients and team members have fun and leave with a hat that expresses their personal style.

Large Group Events

Working directly with you and event planners, JW Bennett brings a unique custom experience to the location of your choice. JW Bennett comes prepared with as many hats and accessories as needed to fulfill your guest experience while maintaining the genuine handcraft of its products.

Private Events

Just like your custom hat, private events can be shaped for any occasion. Trunk shows or private fittings for groups of friends can be held at home or in the Park City studio.

We were fortunate to collaborate with JW Bennett during a series of events we produced in Jackson Hole in 2021. Sarah, Lara, and their team were the best of the best: professional, collaborative, accommodating, and the most stylishly creative team to work with. So glad to have been able to share some very special moments with them in the beautiful Tetons! -Jihye S.
