ART, GOOD VIBEZ, GOOD COMPANY & WINE!…read more
A good friend of mine recently celebrated her birthday at this establishment! This was my absolute first time experiencing the Paint and Sip Scene, and I totally enjoyed myself! I'm so glad I was able to join my friend and help her celebrate, because this was truly a rare treat as I have not been out in a good while.
The atmosphere was very relaxing as we sipped wine and champagne while painting and enjoying the music that was blaring out of the overhead speakers. We were allowed to bring our own bottles of champagne, wines, and other liquors. The business owners provided two shots of some type of milky looking liquor called Mona Mint, which did not appeal to me, so I turned it down when they offered me one. I overheard some of the other guests from our party complaining among one another, saying that it tasted weird and they did not like it. See, I'm so glad that I followed my first mind, and turned it down, lol. Furthermore, this establishment does not provide or sell any food, but you are allowed to bring your own food inside for parties.
My friend informed me that she was required to pay a deposit in order to book her party. However, other requirements were that half of her party were to pre-purchase their tickets by a certain deadline, and if that requirement was not met in a timely manner, then her party would be canceled and she would not be given a refund for her deposit. The tickets were $50 per person. I paid my money in advance like my friend requested her guests to do, but some of them did not do this by the required date. As a result, my friend's party was nearly canceled and I was not going to be refunded my $50 and nor would my friend be refunded her deposit. However, she made some phone calls to her guests to reiterate the importance of them purchasing their ticket because her party was being threatened of cancellation by the business owner due to half of her party not purchasing their tickets by the deadline. To make a long story short, everyone finally purchased their tickets and all was well in Art-Land. The party did not get canceled but it was a close call. So if you plan on celebrating your birthday at this establishment, please be sure that your guests are well aware of the seriousness about paying by the deadline, unless you have money to throw away.
Moreover, the space that was provided for the party was enormously spacious! There was plenty of room for dancing, painting, and for setting up the food and bottles of champagne and wines. There were also plenty of photo selfie backgrounds for taking photos with friends and family. Upon arrival our tables were already set up with everyone's canvases, paint brushes, cups of water, napkins, and aprons provided. The young lady that hosted the party was extremely friendly, welcoming, and attentive. She instructed us on how to mix our primary colors in order to create any secondary colors if needed, like orange, purple, or green. She also instructed us on what to do if we got any paint on our clothes or hands.
Overall, the concept of art and wine, sipping while painting, and female bonding, is a great collaboration of relaxing and enjoying art without the pressures of actually having art lessons. It's a fun, creative, and exciting way for one to explore their artistic side in a relaxed and chilled social environment. I would definitely like to experience this refreshing, peaceful, and informal ambiance once again. I rated them four stars based on the friendliness and professionalism of the staff members. Would have given them five stars, but since it's only my first experience visiting a sip and paint establishment, I am unable to make a comparison to another sip and paint establishment. However, I do recommend this business, but please be careful with making your deposit and asking your guests to pre-purchase their tickets. You will not get any refunds if you do not meet their requirements.
