Custom Cowboy Hats and Whiskey Tasting
"Our goal was to create an experience that was as unique and memorable as Scottsdale itself. By combining the art of crafting custom cowboy hats with the rich flavors of local spirits, we gave attendees more than just an event—we gave them a story to take home."

Cowboy Hats & Whiskey with HPE
For a memorable Scottsdale-based corporate event, our client requested a unique “Boots and Bourbon” theme—but budget constraints led our creative team, led by Caylyn, to pivot with a fresh twist: custom cowboy hats. This innovative approach, paired with a locally-sourced whiskey experience, resulted in an unforgettable evening for attendees.
What Attendees Experienced: Guests immersed themselves in Scottsdale’s local culture by designing their own personalized cowboy hats, a fun and hands-on activity that connected them to the spirit of the Southwest. While crafting their hats, attendees enjoyed a curated tasting of five craft liquors from a renowned local distillery, expertly served by the mixologists at One Handsome Bastard. The event also offered a relaxed atmosphere for networking, learning about HPE products, and exploring the rich flavors of Scottsdale’s burgeoning distillery scene.
Why It Stood Out:
This event wasn’t just about networking—it was an immersive experience. Attendees left with a custom cowboy hat as a memorable souvenir, while enjoying local spirits and engaging in a fun, creative activity.
The combination of personalized craftsmanship and local tastings made this event truly stand out, capturing the essence of Scottsdale and delivering a uniquely engaging experience.
Key Takeaways:
Creative problem-solving led to a fresh and engaging event concept.
Personalized activities and local tastings created lasting memories.
A blend of fun, creativity, and education made this corporate event truly one-of-a-kind.
