Charm Pop Party Offers A Fun Experience With New Location In Wellington
By Joshua Manning
Charm Pop Party, Palm Beach County’s original “charm bar” experience, had a banner year in 2025, catching a trending wave and turning it into a thriving business with locations in Jupiter and Wellington.
“What’s surprised me most is how meaningful this experience has become for families,” owner Stephanie Lewis said. “It started as a simple idea while planning my daughter’s birthday. I was just looking for something creative, inclusive and easy, inspired by the Taylor Swift bracelet-making trend. I never imagined it would grow into what it is today.”
Charm Pop Party opened its original store in Jupiter in March 2025 and joined the lineup in the Mall at Wellington Green in November.
“The Wellington location has introduced so many new families to what a charm bar actually is: a hands-on jewelry experience where you create something personal and meaningful,” Lewis explained. “Opening on Black Friday was kind of insane in the best possible way, and it really set the tone for how warmly the community embraced us from day one. Being in the mall has been especially fun because people are genuinely surprised and excited to see a woman-owned, non-franchise small business here.”
Charm Pop Party is an interactive jewelry experience where guests build their own charm bracelets and necklaces from hundreds of curated, themed charms. The stores specialize in walk-in charm building, as well as in-store charm parties.
“My vision for Wellington was to create the place all the girls want to be — somewhere they can hang out with friends, make jewelry, feel safe and express themselves through unique charms while just genuinely having fun,” Lewis said. “We’ve also loved offering permanent jewelry here, especially because it has become such a sweet mother-daughter bonding experience. Being able to welcome walk-ins at any time makes the space feel approachable and easy, and seeing those moments happen in real time has been incredibly special. Watching moms, daughters, teens and even grandmothers create together is a powerful reminder of why we started.”
The Jupiter store offers the same services, but with a slightly different feel.
“Our Jupiter location is more intimate and boutique — perfect for one-on-one visits and smaller gatherings — while the Wellington location is brighter and more energetic, designed for discovery, celebrations and larger groups,” Lewis explained. “Both locations offer custom charm jewelry and permanent jewelry, and we love that guests can walk in anytime without needing an appointment.”
While charm selections vary slightly between locations, Charm Pop Party carries its staple charms and chains at both.
“Wellington has been especially fun because we introduced Italian charm bracelets — some may remember them as ‘nomination bracelets’ — and as an elder millennial, I’m thrilled they’re cool again,” Lewis said. “In addition to custom experiences, we also offer ready-made jewelry and unique gift items you won’t find in traditional box stores.”
Charm Pop Party also offers mobile charm parties, which bring the charm bar experience to homes, schools and more for birthdays, fundraisers and community events.
“Our mobile charm parties are designed to be fun, relaxed and easy to host — for all ages,” Lewis said. “While they’re popular for kids’ birthdays, they’re just as loved for teen celebrations, bridal showers, bachelorettes, baby showers, and social or corporate events.”
The mobile parties bring the full charm bar experience to you.
“Our trained staff handles the jewelry assembly while guests choose charms and design pieces that reflect their personality or milestone. It becomes both the activity and the party favor, which hosts really appreciate,” Lewis said. “For groups who want a more hands-on experience, we also offer a workshop-style option. Booking is simple through our web site or directly with us, and each event is customized to fit the group, vibe and occasion.”
The company also partners with schools, PTOs, sports teams and nonprofits to host percentage nights, where a portion of sales is donated back to the organization. Lewis added that the company has been named a finalist for the 2026 Best of Palm Beach County Awards in two categories: Best Jewelry and Best Birthday Venue.
Lewis lives in Westlake with her husband Brennen and their children McKenna and Declan. Since they arrived, several family members and friends have moved to Westlake as well.
“Westlake is growing quickly, and while that kind of growth can feel a little overwhelming at times, it has also been really beautiful to witness,” Lewis said. “There are so many families here, and it truly feels like you never see a stranger.”
Lewis noted that her husband is a deputy with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, and their family has deep roots in the community, as the fourth-generation owners of the Okeechobee Steakhouse.
“Working behind the scenes in operations alongside my in-laws gave me a deeper appreciation for what it takes to build a business that becomes part of a community, like the Okeechobee Steakhouse,” she said. “That experience really shaped what I value most: exceptional service, genuine connection and creating experiences people remember long after they leave.”
Meanwhile, if you’re celebrating a birthday, be sure to stop by one of the two Charm Pop Party locations.
“In a fun, full-circle moment, while my family’s legacy is known for offering a free birthday steak, we now carry that spirit of celebration forward at Charm Pop Party with a free birthday bracelet,” Lewis said. “Everything we do is built around connection, joy and creating meaningful memories for families.”
Charm Pop Party’s Wellington location is in the Mall at Wellington Green on the lower level next to Aéropostale. The Jupiter location is at 129 Center Street, Suite 2, inside The Good Stuff. Learn more at www.charmpopparty.com.
