Corporate Events in Oak Brook, with a Perfumer at the Table
Corporate events in Oak Brook often host a senior room: clients, partners and leadership, not the whole company. Our hosted stations suit that crowd. Each guest sits down with a trained host, makes something personal, and leaves with a gift worth keeping.
Glitters and Grace is led by Cheryl Gleason, a trained perfumer and cosmetic and skincare formulator. Everything is made by hand in our New Lenox lab, and Oak Brook sits inside our Chicagoland home base with no travel fee.

Why hosted stations work for corporate events in Oak Brook
A bar and a buffet give guests two things to do, and both end quickly. A station gives them a task, a short line and an easy conversation with whoever is standing next to them. Quiet guests join in. Clients linger. The room loosens up.
Oak Brook rooms vary. Headquarters campuses with a café or a training room. Conference hotels with breakout spaces. Club dining rooms for an evening with clients. Retail and showroom activations near Oakbrook Center draw shoppers straight to the station. We scale the stations to the headcount, from an intimate leadership dinner to a company-wide celebration.
The take-home matters here too. A bottle of perfume a guest blended herself reads as a considered gift, and with a logo label it carries your brand home.
Tell us the agenda. We can run a station during a networking hour, a wellness break or the after-dinner window.
Stations for your Oak Brook corporate event
Choose one for a focused evening, or pair two for a larger room.
Signature Perfume Bar
Not a blending bar. Guests choose from up to 12 in-house signature scents you select. It moves about 85 to 100 guests an hour, which suits conferences and holiday parties. Corporate perfume bar Oak Brook
Full Perfume Bar
A blending bar with 120+ fragrances. Blending bars move about 50 guests an hour, so this is the one for a client night where people want to linger.
Skincare Bar
Guests make a facial moisturizer, body butter, lotion and scrub from about 40 oils, butters and extracts. Best for 20 guests or fewer, so it suits a leadership group or a women's networking evening. Corporate skincare bar
Luxury Lip Lab
Guests mix a lip cream or high-shine gloss from a 16-shade swatch board. Two to three hosts serve about 100 guests in three hours. Corporate lip gloss bar
Bath & Body Bar
Guests build a custom bath soak and a hand-made bath bomb. It moves quickly and needs no power, so it fits a lobby or a wellness fair.
Glitter & Glow add-on
A playful touch for a holiday party or a summer team celebration.
Holiday season fills early
Most dates need six to eight weeks, and May, September and December need longer. If your event is sooner, reach out anyway. We have a large team of hosts and can often fit you in on short notice.
