The space is large enough to fit all of us as well as setting up food and drinks for our party. Elena was very responsive and helpful from Day 1 and made the party planning very easy for us. The music they played was all the hits that were popular when we were in high school and college, and everyone was just having a great time and singing along. The instructor (I will update with her name) made the painting process so easy and fun for everyone regardless of everyone's skills or experience with painting! My coworkers still talk about it today about what a fun time they had. I would highly recommend this studio! Some good to know points: *Parking is street parking available or metered garage around the corner, metered parking down the road. Make sure you have quarters or dimes! 25 cents will give you 30 minutes, and after 7pm parking is free! *you can have food delivered to the studio! We ordered pizza and salads and drinks from "Ferrazoli's" in the area we were very happy! *Dont forget to bring wine and they have wine bottle openers! *they provide aprons... make sure you roll up your sleeves! *For large groups, you need to purchase 4 weeks in advance 10 tickets at $35 each Thanks PaintZone for making this a fun memorable experience!

They have over 100 locations and host multiple classes every month. You can access the events calendar on their website. Most locations host a class almost every day that are two or three hours long. Weekdays typically have evening class times while weekends can have earlier times. They offer a wide variety of paintings like landscapes, animals, florals, and seasonal themes. They have specialty classes where you can paint a custom portrait, decorate a wine glass or tote bag, or use black light fluorescent (glow-in-the-dark) paint. Because there's alcohol involved, most classes are adults only. However, they do have a select few that are for all ages/family-friendly. Prices range from $30-$55+ per person depending on the class type and time. You can reserve your spot/s online ahead of time. If you're going with a group, you can type in the names of your party in the seating request section so you can all be seated together. We went to the Nutley location on a Friday evening. Street parking was easy to find at this time. The studio has a lively, welcoming, and social atmosphere. They provide you with all of the art supplies - paint, brushes, canvas, easel, aprons. You bring your own drinks and food, but they do supply glassware, corkscrews, ice buckets, plates, napkins, and utensils. Angie was our instructor who led us step-by-step through the painting. She was friendly, enthusiastic, engaging, and easy to follow. This was my third class and I'm definitely no Vincent van Gogh LOL... but I still enjoyed myself. Regardless of your artistic talent, this is a great way to be creative, relax, and socialize in a judgment-free space. All levels of artistry are welcome! You'll actually be surprised at how much of a masterpiece you can create by the end of class ;) Paint & Sip classes are a fun choice for a group bonding activity or celebration! They also do corporate events and private parties. If you're going to be a frequent flyer, don't forget to sign up for their rewards program! You get personalized deals, free events, priority seating, etc.

I was looking for a last minute activity to keep my kiddos busy during their holiday break so I…read morelooked up Pinot's Palette. The painting they had this past Sunday (12/29) looked totally do-able for my kiddos so I signed us up that morning for a 12pm class. My kids were SO excited. I brought some snacks and kid friendly drinks with us and we got there 15 minutes early. We were the first ones there and our palettes and paints were waiting for us. They had aprons for kids and we put our stuff in cubbies. Once the other groups arrived we began painting. Our instructor (I totally forget her name and I feel so bad) was absolutely fantastic. She took her time explaining each piece of the painting and how were were going to create everything. She was very patient and answered everyone's questions. She walked around to make sure everyone was on the same page and that we had enough paint. She gave little tips that helped make the painting process easier. It was so much fun! My son had a little trouble with the painting and was getting a bit frustrated (he hated his tree) but he continued on, followed the directions, and did his best. I was so proud of him. He is a bit younger than the recommended age but he enjoys guided drawings so I thought he might enjoy it. In the end, he was happy to have a fun, finished product. My daughter had a great time. And I always LOVE a good paint and sip. I will definitely be back to Pinot's Palette in Nutley. I love that it's so close to me and they have so many events and different paintings to choose from.

I was looking for a rental hall to host my sister's baby shower and found New Milford Elks Lodge a…read moregreat candidate when doing a simple google search of the area. I easily found contact information for booking and was able to schedule a visit to see the space in person for the next day. Upon meeting Richard, we were told that they charge one set price, about $400, for less than 75 people, and then about $500 for more than 75 guests. They allow you to bring outside food or have your caterer cook in their kitchen, but do not allow you to bring any drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.. even water. That was the first downer. We asked if we could put pitchers of tap water on the tables, and he said no. I thought this was a little ridiculous, but his reasoning was that their rental prices were set low, so they needed to charge for drinks to make a profit. We were also told we were not allowed to tape anything to the dry wall, which greatly limits the amount/type of decorations you can use. A short contract was handed to us and we were on our way. We were allowed to set up the night prior to the event. They have standard round tables and rectangular tables for your use, including chairs, as long as you can set it up yourself. In terms of the round tables, I thought they were in fair/good condition, but the chairs they had came in 2 different colors (brown and black) and really threw off the aesthetic since they didn't all match. We made due with what we were offered. On the day of the party, communication between us and Richard fell extremely short. We were not told when we could set up, so we arrived about 1.5 hours early to the start of the party to set up assuming someone would be there to let us in. No one was there, so we were left to wait in the parking lot until the bartender arrived. Once the party began, we were told that we were going to be charged the higher price for more than 75 people because we set up a 10 tables, which is 80 chairs when put 8 per table. The bartender went on to explain they can't count heads, so they count how many chairs we set up and that he would have to communicate with his manager in order to decrease the price back to the lower price. This is understandable, but if this was clearly communicated to us, we would have been happy to set up only 74 or so chairs.. which would leave a table with less chairs and would look odd. After some discussion, we were able to get things sorted out and cleaned up at the end of the party. On the positive side, the parking lot has ample parking and they clean up chairs/tables at the end of your event. For what it's worth, I think this space did the job, but I would hesitate to recommend this elks lodge to a friend.
