My daughter wanted a painting party so we looked through several companies and went with paint the town. They were very responsive with scheduling options and questions. Our instructor Derek came to us and was great with a group of 8 six year olds. Overall a great experience. Also made a cool video montage at the end! read more

Went to an event at the San Vicente resort and was disappointed in the whole night. The instructor was not very helpful, the materials were not good quality. Stiff, unusable brushes and not enough paint to go around. The resort itself had an amazing charcuterie table and wonderful staff. The paint aspect was anything but. read more

This was a wonderful experience for my work team! Booking was easy, and our instructor Lilly was great! Highly recommend for a work event or even a birthday party or social event. read more

The planning was so easy. Whenever I had a question or needed help I received an answer right away. I was kept informed of each step. Very well organized and super friendly. read more

Options: I liked that they had the option to paint wine or beer glasses. This was more interesting than painting a canvas that I would probably just end up throwing away. They had a lot of painting options as well. Booking: The person helping book was quick to respond and offered a call to answer questions. However, when I went to confirm I wanted to move forward I didn't hear anything back. Seems my message might have gone to spam because they followed up with me asking if we had decided. So that delayed the booking process a bit. Cost: This was fairly reasonably priced. They were able to accommodate a group of 8 even though they originally said they'd need a min of 9 (I think). Only iffy thing that happened is they threw in a $40 travel fee which was nowhere mentioned in any of our other conversations. So that came as a surprise. Experience: Our host arrived early and set up. There was a small miscommunication in that we got 2 glasses but the host didn't realize that til half way through and asked why we didn't have a second picture picked out. The coordinator didn't mention I should choose two. The host wasn't very good at getting our group's attention and I tell they were a bit anxious to keep on time. 90 min definitely flew by and I couldn't image how they would have gotten through two demos. Half our group was scrambling to do the second glass. I was definitely expecting a more lively teaching experience based on other paint and sip events I've been too. read more

*UPDATE* They did refund my entire purchase* My previous review was 5-star for being a guest at a paint party. Had a great time. This updated review is about the process in which trying to schedule my own paint party. First, this is not a local company. They are on the east coast and customer service is below satisfactory. They do not give you any specified details regarding cost until you beg for it. They force you to sign up/reserve online with a $160 deposit. You still can't get any costs until you give them ALL your details but you know what - sometimes we don't have all those details and are looking for a budget first! After a failed attempt at getting additional questions answered and nobody from this non-local company responding to me, I emailed back and asked them to cancel. Sure as shit, I then got a response. But now, they want to charge $40 to cancel this reservation - that they forced me to create in order to get any details whatsoever. Oh, and if I reschedule, they are also requiring an ADDITIONAL $40 even though on the email confirmation I got it says" "If you need to change your Event Date or Event Time, please let us know within 1 business day, in order to avoid a $50 reschedule fee" GREEDY MUCH??? read more

The amazing patience and essence of the teacher makes learning techniques easy, she was clear and educational taught all of us. I had a wonderful time with Emma she was a blast positiveness and it was a joyful experience one that was a pleasure and honor to be a part of. Solana at Grand had hosted an even with paint the town and as a resident I couldn't help but feel so valued by Emma her professional demeanor and patience truly shined as an artist. I was super impressed and would definitely recommend her for any events or night of painting the town becasue she hosted an amazing event. I walked away feeling like my hidden artistic side got to shine even if my own painting looked funny I had a blast learning and trying to make my portrait happen. Five stars all the way across the board. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Celia from Paint the Town for a painting event/fundraiser we had at my company in Carlsbad. Celia was super flexible in accommodating our shifting needs, and was able to provide us with options that worked for a varying number of people and also helped to support our charitable cause. She even custom created a painting that was relevant to our company's industry for our group to recreate! On the day of our event, our instructor Kyli showed up early and ensured everything was set up on time. She did a great job of working with our group of 34 people. She was able to explain how to do the painting in an easily understandable way, while still making it fun AND she kept everyone on track - even the rowdiest of our painters. Everyone involved from Paint the Town ensured that we had a stress-free event. I would not hesitate to work with Celia and Paint the Town again. read more

You guys are awesome! I would give it more stars if I could. This is my first painting event as I went for a company party. I was welcomed by a nice spread of snacks, wine, great music, and a smiling instructor. When we arrived, all the supplies were set up on the table and all we needed to do was put on an apron. The instructor not only provided simple step to step instruction, making learning super easy (especially for first time painters like myself), she also made the entire experience very stress-free and fun. I also loved how the instructor encouraged us to create our own art work if we felt adventurous! We had a blast at the event and even talked about booking another one for our own group of friends. Good job! read more

My husband and I had an amazing experience at Paint the Town painting party. Our party had an in-home service with paint leader, Celia. She was friendly and informative. She humorously led our group through a night of painting and wine. This was my first experience with a paint night. I instantly felt comfortable because we were walked through step by step. Wine + Painting = A guaranteed good time. I now have 2 lovely art additions to our living room. I recommend Paint the Town for any of your paint night services. read more

Unfortunately, our artist was nearly 30 minutes late due to traffic so we started about late. He was personable, but it was difficult to hear him instruct. The cheap plastic aprons ripped immediately & I was surprised cloth aprons were not provided. The paper plates, thin canvas boards & the old plastic cups for water made the event seem a bit trashy. I would not book again. Also, they charged a $40 travel fee & $15 in credit cards fees on top of the per artist charge. read more

We had Paint the Town come out to my parents' home in Coronado for my sister's bachelorette party. I worked with Celia to get everything booked, and she was great. I called a few weeks ahead, booked with a deposit, picked from a gallery of images, made sure to have my own long tables and folding chairs, and paid in full a few days before my event. We had 19 girls painting and it went so well! Kyli was our instructor and she was fun, a good teacher, patient, and had a great personality! All the girls had a blast and it was such a unique thing to do at a party. Kyli came early, had everything set up quickly, started on time, we painted for almost the full two hour block, and she had everything cleaned up quickly at the end! This was a great experience. I'd definitely recommend it for your next stay in party! read more

I hosted an event for my team who works in San Diego and partnered with Paint the Town. Everyone I communicated with along the way was very helpful and accommodating. I appreciated that I could pick a location of my choosing, so we did it in the backyard of a house, making it a lovely, intimate, Summer setting. We also were in control of the food, drink, and music. Mary K. guided us all through a painting of Paradise Cove, fitting for us San Diegans. She was friendly, encouraging, and a wonderful teacher, which was important because many of us never painted and needed the help! I'd be happy to choose Paint the Town again in the future. Thank you for a memorable experience! read more

This was such a fun virtual event for my family and friends to do together during the coronavirus shut down! Celia is so talented and she made it possible for this decidedly not artistic person to create a painting of my pet that actually looks like him! She was easy to work with, very nice and we had an absolute blast creating our pet paintings! We all joined the zoom from our own homes and worked together with the supplies she shipped to each of us. I 100% recommend this as a fun family or friends event. read more

Paint the Town was the perfect activity for girl's night in! Our instructor, Celia, arrived early to set up and was a gem to work with! We were all beginners and Celia was very clear and patient with her instructions. Even though we all painted the same painting, I loved how each painting came out different and showcased the individual's personality. We had so much fun sipping wine as we unleashed the artist within us. Overall, the event was a hit! I would 100% recommend Paint the Town for all social gatherings! read more

We hosted a team bonding event at a restaurant and Paint the Town was very accommodating! I reached out to a couple of similar companies but Paint the Town was the quickest to communicate and answered all of my questions quickly. The pricing was also consistent with most of the other places I reached out to, but because Paint the Town was so quick to communicate and the process was easy to navigate I decided to go with them. The painting instructor arrived on time and we weren't quite setup yet because we were finishing up our meals and she was very accommodating. Our instructor Mary was amazing! We were a rowdy group and she was just as fun and did a great job guiding us through our painting (we picked a tough one). She actually stayed longer than expected and we really appreciated her positivity and fun attitude. It was a great experience overall. read more

Paint the Town hosted a fantastic paint party for my team. It was a great team building exercise as it catered to people with various painting skill levels. Our instructor was awesome.

I've had the opportunity to work with Paint the Town on several occasions in the Bay Area for company parties, friend gatherings, and other social events. They always come prepared and delivered amazing execution and professionalism throughout the whole session. When I heard that Paint the Town opened up their second location in San Diego, my hometown, I had to see whether their quality of work still holds in the new location. I was pleased to see that Paint the Town is still as fun and exciting for me and my friends when we tried them out in San Diego. Throughout the 2-hour session, our artist led us from a blank canvas to a completed artwork where we all got to bring our own version of the beach scene (that's our selected piece) home! The experience is captured in the memories, laughter, and souvenir that my friends and I still talk about today! Celia did a great job bringing my favorite social activity from the Bay Area to San Diego! I look forward to asking her to help organize paint sessions with children's events, and many more company and friend social events! read more

I wanted to do something special for my golden birthday and knew I wanted something interactive and fun for all my guests. I'm so happy I found Paint the Town! They totally slayed my birthday party! Celia was very easy to work with in planning the event and answered all my questions promptly. We had Andrew as our artist and he was fantastic. He arrived early to set up and made sure we were ready to go on time. He made everyone feel comfortable and engaged and patiently instructed us through the painting. There was never a dull moment during the party as Andrew had us laughing the whole time! We all felt very proud and excited about our work as he encouraged our artistic creativity and made no judgments or negative comments. My guests and I have all decided we need to throw another paint party soon! I would highly recommend Paint the Town for your next event. You won't regret it! read more

I have been fortunate to have attended a few Paint the Town team-building events at my work - all hosted by the founder Celia and I'm happy to give her and her team 5 stars. Let's start with Celia - she's amazing, patient, fun, someone anyone would want to be friends with or have at any dinner party - which makes her an approachable yet encouraging teacher which is incredibly necessary when she's herding 10 to 20+ "multi-tasking" students who have limited to zero art skills and a short attention span. Point being, she keeps her crowd engaged, provides useful guidance and tips that will help you keep the faith in your efforts towards turning a blank canvas into a painting worthy of appreciating. Celia also picks artwork pieces that you would actually want displayed in your home or at your desk - I've proudly stuck my PTT masterpiece on the side of my file cabinet as I have no walls and I can't wait to add to my collection. PTT provides all of the supplies, apron, brushes, etc. and you just have to bring an appetite to learn and have a good time. Pro-tip: wear clothes you don't mind getting paint stains on in case you are prone to get stuff everywhere. RIP, Madewell jeans. I highly recommend Paint the Town for social gatherings, team building event or as a creative outlet for your next digital detox...we all know we need one. read more
