Live bands, champion BBQ, walking tacos, beer, wine & rum punch and much fun was had by all! My niece and nephew attend this school and they love the small school atmosphere and the top notch teaching staff and religious community. They couldn't be happier.

What a fun place. Was my first time visiting Painting with a Twist. I didn't really know what to…read moreexpect so I was a little nervous however as soon as I walked in a felt very confident and comfortable. Our paint instructor was wonderful, greeted everyone as we walked in, made sure we had all of our supplies along while saying many jokes. To drink I decided to take a 50ml vodka & a 11.5 lemonade. Pretzels sounded good to snack on, I didn't want something that was too greasy or that had a strong odor. I was glad they show you and tell you how to do everything, was a lot of fun seeing how everything turns out a little different than everyone else. You can use a different colors as well. It was so much fun, we had a great group and the instructor kept us laughing all the time. Honestly I was so glad I didn't drink more or I probably would have had an unfinished project or one that I'd have to leave in the garage.

Painting with a Twist has been open since March, so it surprises me that I'm the first one to leave…read morea review. This place is a lot of fun. A group of friends and I made reservations because we like the painting, and it was a fundraiser for the an American Cancer Society. You show up about 30 minutes ahead of time just to get acclimated. Be sure to wear old clothes - they give you an apron, but paint will still splatter from you (and from your neighbor). LOL They have tables set up with all the easels and all your paint colors on a plate, and all your paint brushes in a cup ready to go. You pick a seat and start painting. They have an instructor up front that paints an example and walks you through the picture, and then there's an assistant that walks around and helps you one-on-one. Every so often, you take a break and they play fun little interactive games. We painted mustaches on each other and then whoever painted the best mustache and whoever wore that mustache got a prize. They gave away tumblers, coffee cups, shirts, and paintings, so that was a cool deal too. This gives you the chance to use the bathroom and one of their blow dryers to dry your picture before the next stage. There's a table along the back wall, and they do allow you to bring in food and your own drinks. There's a mini fridge, a bottle opener, and a corkscrew, so you don't have to bring any of that stuff with you. There's also a Rewards program you can sign up for that gives you points the more you paint. This was the most fun I've had in a long time, and you don't have to be a good artist to enjoy yourself. They also have a special time set up on Saturdays where you can bring your painting back in and work one-on-one with an artist to fix it if you're not happy. That's a really neat asset that they offer. This is a super fun place with really nice people. It makes for a good time with a group of friends doing something out of the ordinary. Highly recommended!

The owner and staff are super friendly and accommodating... I just love them all to pieces. 319 itself is a large open room fitted with a projector screen, a dance floor, huge windows, and loads of way to modify the set up. There is also an outdoor patio with a bar that can be opened. They also have two other smaller buildings facing S. Campbell, both of which would be perfect for a smaller catered dinner or small reception. (The room with a fireplace is super adorable) Speaking of the food... we were lucky enough to have had them cater the fundraiser we held for the serious and OH MY GOODNESS THE SPINACH DIP! Everything I tried was fantastic from the Onion Souffle to the Mango Salsa. But seriously, that spin dip. (drool) If you are in the market for a wedding, event, good time venue - go here.

I could have never put this all together without his help and guidance. Everything was so easy, no stress, come by anytime to talk, measure, figure out what is needed. The food and drinks and service were amazing. I knew when I met Angelo the first time that this would be exactly what it wanted to be and it turned out even better. My parents had the time of their life celebrating 50 years of marriage with friends, family, a great band, superb staff and facilities. Do you next event here!

I am a Big with BBBS, so I know firsthand what a good organization it is, and how important that fundraisers like Beerfest are for our community. Soapbox aside, Beerfest is fun. Take a group of friends and enjoy an afternoon of beer tasting and nice people. Parking is easy, but they have cab services available if you need it. There are tons of booths from local and major craft breweries, and everything is free (yes, even the amazing salted caramel ice cream with bourbon candied bacon from Buckinghams...swoon). There are reps at every booth to help you discover new beers or learn how to make your own. The Homebrew Zoo has a large booth full of homebrewers that are proud to share their knowledge and let you try their creations. You can get a VIP ticket for a little more, which gives you collector glasses and early entry. Cops are meandering around, so everyone behaves. It's not a big sloppy drunkfest--there are no fights or loud people, so don't let an all day beerfest scare you away! It's worth it!
