It was around $35 per person for the paint supplies, and you can buy your own drinks on top of it. A lot of the wine options were only available in bottles, not individual glasses, so I got the spicy margarita. It turned out to be pretty good though. For the paintings, we did a sunset beach theme. The class was super fun, the instructor was funny, and it was a nice experience. I hope to go again for sure!

From booking to set-up to clean-up, everything was handled and we were able to focus on our event. Will definitely book with them again for future events.

They will correspond with you and you can choose the artwork you want to paint (they have THOUSANDS to choose from). You can also invite your guests to register and pay separately. On the day of your event, you can bring your own snacks, foods, drinks, and decorations. Everything else would be prepared for you, including utensils, ice, and any painting/ candle making supplies you would need. There is also an instructor who will guide you as you follow along. Though that is the case, you can still customize the painting to your own liking (in terms of colors and painting styles). It was so cool to see everyone's unique take of the painting afterwards. We all had a blast! This is such a nice indoor activity for those cold Chicago days. Since there is an instructor, this is a good activity for everyone; those who are more artistically skilled and even for first-timers heheh. TIP: If it's your birthday, you also get to choose a pre-painted painting for free to take home!

Warning: while aprons are provided, acrylic paint stains - wear clothes you don't mind becoming "painter chic" should your brain reach to scratch an itch forgetting what it's covered it. Let me take you back to elementary school art class. Every time I walked into that classroom, I hoped that I would be working with liquid paint, but alas, it was a rarity. I've heard about these paint and sip experiences, and wanted to give it a try for a bit. Recently, I finally had the opportunity to give it a go. It ended up being a fantastic experience! Furthermore, while I wasn't that impressed with my own work while comparing to some of the others in the studio, when I looked at it the next day, i couldn't help but feel at least a little proud of myself. I am still a little shocked that "I made this, and it looks great!" The staff at the studio were all around great! They helped us be as creative as we wanted to be, with some people (including myself) requesting supplemental colors). We were also welcome to add our own elements, or even paint something entirely different. Kudos also to the guide for being loud enough to be clearly heard (especially as someone with hearing loss), and on the instructions being easy to follow. While it would have been nice if the setup was such that her head wasn't in the way while she was painting, I appreciate that this can be hard to accomplish without a bunch of electronics. Finally, as we were all there as part of an organized experience through 222 (dinner with strangers and some kind of event to follow), the staff was also fantastic about incorporating blocks of time for us to take a break, socialize, and change seats, if we so fancied. Thus, I enjoyed myself so much that I am looking at returning at some point in the near future and trying my hand at a different painting. Soon, there will be more art on my walls, and when I have people over, I will be able to proudly tell them that these are things I painted myself (with just a little guidance).

We first gathered in the back where there is a bar and enjoyed some drinks, macaroons, and charcuterie. The space was able to hold about 20 of us comfortably. For our activity, we water color painted an alphabet book for the baby. Each page consisted of a letter and accompanying animal tracing, so our job was just to fill it in. I'm pretty sure the owner did all the outlines for us, which was incredibly impressive! The painting was so relaxing, therapeutic, and fun! I love that my friend will have this book to look back on to remember the fun day. They offer SO many fun and crafty classes here. Wreath building, calligraphy, embroidery, macrame, and that is truly just the tip of the iceberg. If you're interested in picking up a new hobby or exploring a craftier side, I think indigo + violet is the perfect place to look.

The total price was very reasonable for a private event in Chicago and the studio set up was perfect! Leigh was very professional, responsive, and listened my vision - she provided the exact type of flowers/color scheme I asked for. It was a lovely event and I cannot recommend Indigo & Violet enough! Perfect for any bridal shower, baby shower, bachelorette party, birthday, or any special celebration!

When we finally asked for help, one person admitted he didn't know what to do because they had barely run this class before. We weren't given mixing sticks, so our soap hardened while we waited and had to be reheated for another 15 minutes. They also had no drinking water, no bags to transport the finished soap, and would not let me place my purse on one of the many empty chairs even though it kept falling onto the dusty floor. Staff spoke to us only about three times, for less than a minute each. The entire class was disorganized, poorly staffed, and absolutely not worth the money.

The ticket (which we had to pay for in advance) included a brunch buffet, painting station, and bottomless mimosas. The spread of food was disturbing. It was cold grits, cold eggs, sausage, hard waffles, and chicken strips. They had nothing keeping the food hot and clearly didnt have enough food for everyone. The food wasn't edible AT ALL. I was completely embarrassed that I invited ppl and had them pay IN ADVANCE for that! No one in my party was happy and we were forced to leave cuz we were so hungry. What's even WORSE is the way the team handled our dissatisfaction. I reached out after the fact to inquire about a refund and MANNY, the guy behind the event refused and instead tried to offer me discounted tickets to ANOTHER EVENT. My friend also left a comment about the situation on their instagram and they DELETED HER COMMENT. Then said "we reached out to her via dm" BAD BUSINESS. I will NEVER attend an event at Pearl or any other function thrown by premo. TERRIBLE LOOK.
