Why a perfume bar works for a large event

First, a large event needs an activity that moves quickly and still feels special. Our Signature format does exactly that. The host chooses up to 12 house scents, many of them unisex. Then guests pick, spritz, and go.

That pace matters in a busy banquet hall. Because the Signature format serves 85 to 100 guests an hour, nobody spends the night in line. Even grandparents and teenagers find something they like.

Next to it, the Lip Lab adds a second stop. There, guests mix a soft-matte lip cream, meaning a liquid lipstick that dries velvety, or a high-shine gloss. Two to three hosts serve about 100 guests over 3 hours.

Planner's pointer

Open both bars right after dinner service. Guests are relaxed by then, and the dance floor fills more slowly anyway.

Lock in the date

Reserve your Joliet event

Adult perfume bars start at $500, priced per event rather than per guest. You will see an itemized proposal within 2 business days. A 50% deposit then secures the date.

Ideas for a crowd of 40 or more

Big parties reward a little planning. These three touches make the bars feel like part of the program.

Theme the house scentsPick 12 signatures in your party colors. For example, rose and gourmand blends suit a blush-and-gold quinceañera.
Favor table finaleInstead of buying favors, let guests make them. Then a bottle and a lip color become the take-home gift.
Matching labelsCustom labels with the event name are a paid add-on. Order them at booking and allow about 4 weeks.
Fun fact

Any format can sit on a table, a luxury counter, or a candy cart. So the bar can match a formal ballroom or a festive hall.

Joliet celebrations we love to serve

These are the big days where both bars shine. We also bring them to events in Milwaukee and Indianapolis.

Quinceañeras

Usually, a fifteenth birthday fills a room with family of every age. Plus, the Lip Lab gives the court a fun moment together. See our quinceañera ideas, too.

Milestone anniversaries

Often, a 25th or 50th draws generations at once. Meanwhile, grandparents blend beside grandkids.

Fundraisers and galas

Here, a perfume bar gives donors something gracious to do between speeches. It also keeps them mingling longer.

Wedding receptions

Guests drift over during cocktail hour, then leave with a scent from the day.

Church and parish events

Also, women's guild luncheons and holiday gatherings get an elegant centerpiece.

Company celebrations

Even teams make something side by side, which loosens up even a formal room.

Joliet venues that suit a perfume bar

Each bar needs about 12 by 6 feet and two 6-foot tables. If the venue lacks tables, ours are $30 each.

Banquet halls

A banquet hall gives us room for both bars along one wall. Then guests flow past on their way to the dance floor.

Parish halls

Of course, church halls host many quinceañeras and anniversaries. We work around the existing layout.

Hotel ballrooms

Then again, ballrooms suit galas and wedding receptions. Also, we add hosts as the guest count climbs.

Restaurant private rooms

A private room works for a rehearsal dinner. Afterward, the bottles double as thank-you gifts.

Backyards and homes

Hosting at home? Our Joliet perfume bar page covers house parties in detail.
