  • From The first phone call with Vlad to the final execution of the event, everything was seamless. This was entertaining and unlike anything I’ve ever had at an event before the live printing had everyone mesmerized. I look forward to booking them for our next corporate event.

Hat bar

A build-your-own hat station guests line up for

Reflekt Experiences is an experiential marketing and live event production company based in Wood-Ridge, NJ, with a second office in Orlando, FL. It produces live printing, on-site personalization and branded photo experiences for brand activations, corporate events and trade shows in New York City, New Jersey, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Austin, San Antonio, Orlando and nationwide, for clients including Meta, Google, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs. Rated 5.0★ on Google.

A hat bar lets every guest design their own hat. They choose a style, browse a menu of patches and designs, pick where everything goes, and our team presses it on in front of them. Names, initials and numbers can be added on the spot, and laser-engraved leather patches give it a premium finish.

It's built for speed and throughput, using the same professional heat press setup we run for live merch at conferences and brand activations, where each press handles dozens of pieces an hour. Your logo, campaign art, sponsor marks and event graphics all go on the design menu, so your brand ends up on every hat that walks out the door.

Reflekt staffs the bar, supplies the presses and plans the hat styles, design menu and guest flow with you. We run hat bars in New York City, New Jersey, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Austin, San Antonio and Orlando, and travel nationwide for brand programs.

Corporate event · photo booth
“We couldn’t be happier with the photo booth experience provided by Reflekt Experiences at our recent corporate event. From start to finish, their team was professional, engaging, and an absolute pleasure to work with. The booth itself was sleek, modern, and incredibly easy for guests to use. The quality of the photos—both digital and printed—was outstanding, with crisp images and customizable branding that elevated our event’s theme perfectly. Our attendees loved the fun props, creative backdrops, and instant sharing options, which added an interactive element that kept people coming back throughout the night. What truly set Reflekt Experiences apart was their attention to detail and commitment to creating memorable moments. Their onsite team made everyone feel comfortable and energized, helping even the most camera-shy guests loosen up and enjoy the experience. The final gallery was delivered promptly and became a huge hit across our company. If you’re looking for a photo booth that brings energy, professionalism, and top-tier quality to your event, Reflekt Experiences is the way to go. Highly recommended!”
