    Love this place so much! The staff is super nice and helpful, and they make painting easier than it's ever been. The drinks are good and not overpriced and it's just a really good vibe in there.

    Our group had a great time at Pinot's Palette. We were originally scheduled months ago but things happened that we have to reschedule and Pinot's Brea was kind enough to accommodate us. The staff were very nice, we came with no painting experience and end up going home with a masterpiece. This is a great date night as well as bonding time with friends. Highly, recommended.

    Came here a few weeks ago with my bestie for a wholesome Sunday! It was a lot of fun. I have no creative bone in my body so I get intimidated over activities like these but our art teacher made it so easy to follow. Jessica was our art teacher and she was amazing! She explained the steps really well and gave everyone enough time in between. She also came around to assist us. I was very much struggling with the trees and she came to help, which I appreciated. All the other workers were great as well, they have a great team at Pinot's Palette. They also have a bar to paint and sip, we skipped this one since we drank during brunch already hehe. Make sure you come early/on time to the event you sign up for, it's kind of distracting when other painters come in really late. I also feel it's an inconvenience to the teachers. I definitely will be back here. Highly recommend for a wholesome activity.

    I used to come here pretty regularly back when I lived in the OC, but hadn't been in a few years since moving. Tonight I went back for the first time in a while and I remembered why I love this place so much. I have tried other "paint and sip" nights at places closer by, but nothing has ever been as good as this place. The staff are amazing, the atmosphere is great. I have taken art classes in the past so I'm definitely not a complete beginner by any means, but there is so much encouragement and support no matter what your experience level is! I've taken friends here who have had little to no experience with painting and everyone always has a great time. I also love how supportive they are of creative freedom; not only are they happy to supply other paint colors so you can add or change things however you want, but they even encourage you to add your own flair! Tonight was a very cute date night painting of two little ghosts holding hands and being all cute, but I was attending with my brother rather than a partner so we decided to make our ghosties be in the middle of a bitter instead and they were so supportive and enthusiastic about our silliness. I literally cannot say enough good things about this location and the people who work there. I will definitely be trying to get back into the habit of going more often!

    In the heart of downtown Brea. Such a fun experience! Perfect to unwind and discover your inner artist. Don't be intimated if you have no painting experience. The instructor provides easy instructions you can follow along. If you get stuck, you can ask for help. There will also be breaks in-between for you to catch up on the painting sections. You'll learn how to use different paintbrushes and color blending. It can get a little messy but they provide you an apron. They also sell drinks and wine! Easy to book online! You can pick which painting you're interested in and schedule the date. A session is usually ~$40 and they supply all the materials for you to use (canvas, paint, paintbrushes). Great for a girls night, group outing, celebration, and date night. I'm already thinking of scheduling another painting session and can't wait to come back!

    Happy about a completed project and a relaxing environment.

    I'm tapping into my inner Bob Ross in this safe environment to be creator/non-conformist. The instructor is so encouraging with step by step instructions and all materials provided for you. My favorite part is a completed project with no clean up.

    AMAZING! We had the best time here ever! The staff was truly incredible and so attentive. Would definitely come again! Super patient with my party as well. Definitely come here! I love the creative freedom they give you too.

    Took my girls here this morning. I was excited for them since it's their first time. As for me, I wasn't looking forward to do a kids painting (too easy) but when I expressed that to staff, they told me that I can paint something else. It made my day!! I would def bring my kids back. Such great staff this morning. Thank you so much. Best experience ever.

    After an amazing brunch at Toast in Brea, we continued the birthday celebration at Pinot's Palette. It was my first time attending a painting class, and I have to admit, I was a little nervous--especially with a few drinks already in my system! The theme was Fall/Thanksgiving, which was perfect for the season. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience, and it lasted longer than I expected in the best way. The instructor was fantastic, giving everyone plenty of time to work on each section of the painting. In hindsight, I wish I had asked for a smaller or different brush, as I struggled a bit with the ones provided--but now I know for next time! The host made the event even more enjoyable, frequently coming around with candy and taking pictures throughout the session, which were later displayed on the TV. After we finished painting, they were incredibly kind, offering to take individual and group photos, as many guests were celebrating special occasions. Overall, it was such a fun and memorable experience--I'm already looking forward to my next painting session!

    It was a great entry level class but the end result of the painting turned out better than expected because of how great the instructor broke it down. The wine is a great price too. Nice to experience once here and future ones at home if you'd like

    This was such a fun activity! One of my girlfriends suggested it, so shoutout to her! Reserving a seat was very easy to do - you can do it online and also make requests on who you want to sit next to. To be honest, we got a bit lost and arrived late but it wasn't a problem because the workers there were so kind and helped us settle in and catch up. Instructions were easy to follow and it was so fun seeing everyone's results in the end! Wine is available to purchase, it can be purchased by glass or by bottle! Overall, definitely coming back for another session, it was an inexpensive activity to do with your buddies.

    I was excited. Especially reading the reviews on here. It was 3 of us 1st timer painting along w attending Pinot's Palette paint session. Came here to celebrate a girlfriends birthday, she loves painting and is a regular here. So thought it'll be a great evening to do what the birthday girl enjoys to do. Finding the course along with booking the classes was very easy to do online. When i picked the course selection "Northern Night Lights" i was ecstatic since it's a black light edition painting. Something the bday girl hasn't done. Paint in the dark edition. We were greeted nicely and the 4 placements were set up for us. They have Apron available for you to use. The instructor was really nice and was pretty good at the details and step by step instructions. If you look at my example it's pretty close to what he painted. For my 1st time experience along with my friends. We're just disappointed on the outcome of our painting. I felt that what instructor informed us to paint was a bit off of the example photo that was already painted or even what the example painting when booking this painting course. We all started with the lights which was the star of the painting. The lights is what threw off the painting. if you look. It wasn't just my opinion but all of my friends too. The way the lights were instructed to paint and it's curves. We had the instructors painting he did with us step by step along with the example of what we're gonna paint. I have attached the photo for comparison 12.08.23 They have a bar for drink purchase. The paint studio is nicely decorated with lights going down as curtains. Very nice ambiance. FYI they have 2 separate suite for painting. The regular lit up room and the night/black light edition course right next door. Located in Downtown Brea. A few doors down from Cha Cha's Latin restaurant. Parking in parking structure. Something i may consider again to do because it was something i always wanted to do. Hopefully better outcome next time. Be great for girls night out, date night, birthday celebrations. Sign up email and receive deals promos and upcoming paint month schedule.

The event was held a few weeks ago and guests are not only still talking about the food but a few have already booked PBP for their upcoming events. Leading up to the event, Hollis and her team were so easy to work with and communicated every detail with myself and my event planner. The guest count was higher than my wedding and was stressful to manage at times, but the PBP team handled everything so professionally and easily. After a few appetizers were passed around, there were a number of stations to choose from. It seemed like every guest had a different favorite. We all enjoyed delicious Jewish comfort food like latkes, brisket sliders, kugel, and matzo ball soup shots as well as Mediterranean food with salmon and chicken kebabs, rice pilaf, and a Greek salad. One guest said that the hummus was the best she had ever tried! It really was that good. The kids mostly enjoyed a slider station with sirloin hamburgers, fried chicken, and french fries, but plenty of adults grabbed a slider as well. They also created a signature drink for the Bar Mitzvah boy, which was really cute. For dessert, we all loved the ice cream sundae bar and assorted mini desserts like lemon bars, rugelach, and brownies. PBP also made yummy black and white cookies for all of our guests to bring home. With about 11 staff members to help with the event, PBP helped create an incredibly enjoyable and memorable event for my family and our guests. Everything about the experience was top notch. My only regret is that I was too busy with guests to enjoy everything at the time. Thankfully we had some leftovers to devour later (except for that hummus - everyone went back for seconds!). Whenever I plan another big event, Parties by Panache will definitely be my first call. (I don't have pictures from my photographer yet, but will upload a few when I get them)

I didn't have to spend two days in advance shopping and doing prep/pre-cooking, then all day on Thanksgiving watching the turkey temp and stressing about what had to go in the oven when. Instead, I could enjoy a few drinks and actually visit with my family. Ashley was great to work with on the coordination of my event. She was so willing to accommodate all of my changes to the menu and adjust the quote based on changes to my headcount. Communication was great...she called with questions prior to the party and I was informed of a change in the arrival time on the day of. Kelly (who took care of the party) was fantastic! I was initially concerned that having someone hanging around while we had appetizers and dinner would be weird, but she blended right in. I was impressed that she kept an eye on the ice bucket and drinks, and offered to serve up plates and refill glasses during dinner. Regarding the food, I have 4 words: GET THE SHORT RIBS. Everything else was also delicious. Once we were done eating, she boxed up the leftovers (of which there were plenty for everyone to take what they wanted plus more). She cleaned up quickly and even washed the dishes I had provided. I told her she and the crew at PBP are my new best friends and they will be hearing from me in the future. The only downside was that she refused when one of my guests asked her to marry him ;)...maybe next time!! Thank you again, Ashley, Kelly and all the crew who worked behind the scenes to give me a Thanksgiving party to be thankful for.

Second stop was at an Italian restaurant, and not the American stuff, actually an Italian owner (old & have been an Italian restauranteur and chef for over 30 years). I felt so catered to. Last stop was a romantic gondola ride, right before sunset so I got to see the beautiful warm colors change before my eyes. Did I mention there was cannoli involved?

It's now 2017, almost 3 years after my wedding and I'm finally publishing this review. My wife and I hired K&S for our wedding and selected the platinum package, basically so someone could hold our hands throughout the entire process + D.O.C. We had a short timeline, engaged in March with a targeted wedding date in December the same year. In regards to planning, Kym was spot on. Scheduling visits with the flower vendor, negotiating terms with the caterer, and also coordination tasks at the Nixon Library. She's good about telling you what options can be expensive, price ranges for vendors, and creative ideas within a certain budget framework. One minor annoyance was that every meeting she would spend a couple hours with us discussing, writing notes and follow-ups, but then go MIA. The next meeting would require a refresher (like she forgot key details), or we'd be proactive and send out an email or text asking about the status. This problem became so widespread (i.e. she will tell you she'll follow up in 3 days but then go a week with no response), that I had to send an email to her and her partner that they were upsetting the bride. My wife and I prepared everything in advance of the wedding so that Kym's team could setup the day-of. We packaged and organized everything in bags with labels and directions. Signs were installed in photo frames, name cards were bagged alphabetically, and layout was discussed all in advance. We arrive into the reception area the day-of only to find nothing was setup the way my wife asked. She was just so frustrated. The money/card box wasn't put where we asked, which involved a lot of guests coming to ask us what to do. It's almost as if the assistants and other team members didn't know what to do or didn't bother checking with Kym for instructions. This was apparent because the following happened -see below. And finally, the biggest debacle of the night. We had an agreement with the vendor that the consumption bar was to turn into an open bar once the limited was reached. Kym actually helped us with this during the negotiations. One of Kym's assistants for one reason or another got confused and told the caterer to turn the consumption bar into a cash bar. Kym apparently had no idea (not sure how the assistant came to make the decision). No one thought to come notify or ask us. Embarrassingly, our guests had to shell out cash for drinks sometime between 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm. We didn't find out until we visited the bar personally around 9:30 pm, ordered drinks and was asked to pay -imagine our surprise. The caterer apologized, Kym said "this is my fault", accepting responsibility, but the damage was done. My view here is that the wedding coordinator is at fault in this situation as she holds the responsibility to speak on behalf of the bride/groom (or at least check-in with them before making such a decision). And since when does an assistant make a decision like this without checking in with her boss?! Also, Kym was the one that negotiated the catering contract for us, not sure how her team could seriously make such a huge error. One key point to make here, the caterer went out of their way a few days AFTER the wedding to make amends (despite their assertion that they only listened to the K&S team). They offered to treat us to an anniversary dinner and a few comps at their local restaurant. As for K&S? Well they were gone with the wind after that last cash payment made at the wedding. It still leaves a bad feeling in my stomach to this day.

    I HIGHLY recommend K &S Events for all the future brides!!…read more Kym was my day-of coordinator but helped me throughout my planning process. She was very easy to get a hold of anytime of they day, she will make time to answer all your questions and make sure you are on the right track. She helped me with my lighting and got me the best possible deal, the lighting company was a mess but she ensured me she would be on top of them and helped me get the exact Gobo light that I wanted and tested it out for me to make sure all the words were clear. She also helped me out big time with my timeline, and kept me on track the day of, without her, I don't know what I would've done. She's very prompt and organized, she made sure my wedding reception looked beautiful. My only regret is that I didn't have her help me with the entire wedding, wish I had her deal with some of my crazy vendors for me before hand. She really came through on my big day and knowing that she was taking care of everything I was able to feel less stressed and enjoyed my ceremony. Many thanks to Kym and K&S Events, I truly appreciate it!!

The tomato soup and fruit cup was good, but salad was not fresh and I saw lots of rotten greens in my salad. Wish they'd wash / pick them out more thoroughly. It comes out to about $36/person before tax and tip, which I think is quite a good deal! The location can be a little difficult to find because the space is actually a banquet/event space where they do weddings, celebrations, showers, and parties. There isn't an obvious sign on the outside that says this is "Spring Tea Garden" but once you walk in, you'll see signs leading you to the spring tea garden. They have their own large parking lot so parking is not an issue. If you're visiting on the weekend, I highly recommend you reserve a table a day or two in advance. The space itself looks very historic, quaint, and cute! Love how much natural lighting the tea room has to give it an organic brightness to the room. I'd come back again for another girl's get together or a mommy-daughter thing.
