    My mom and I with Pinky!
    Lincy H.

    Paint Nite is AWESOME. It'll be a perfect night out with your girlfriends or your significant other. TIP#1: There are almost always $25 groupon deals, so it is definitely worth the price. TIP#2: Pregame beforehand and/or buy some drinks inside the venue. (But drink responsibly and don't drink and drive!) The more tipsy you get, the more fantastic your painting gets. As Kevin Pride said to me, "The beer is working!" TIP#3: Arrive at least 15 minutes earlier to ensure that you can sit with the people you want to paint with! The event lasts about 2 hours. First time I went to Paint Nite with my 2 girlfriends and we had an amazing time. We painted the Love Birds and were laughing throughout the whole night. One of us even went up to participate in the mini dance competition. If you win, you get a prize! Second time I went to Paint Nite with my mommy. We painted the Spring Blossoms. It was nice because my mom doesn't usually go out. I'm not quite sure if it was her thing, but trying new things is always good! TIP#4: Have a positive attitude! Discouraged that your painting isn't turning out as nicely as you wanted it to? Ask for help and they'll help you with it!!! In Pinky's words, "Having faith in your abilities sets no boundaries for your talents!" As for the instructors, they are absolutely amazing!!! Both Kevin Pride and Nicole "Pinky" St. Denis are so much fun. They are just great at what they do. Vincent was very kind and helpful :) TIP#5: Paint Nite isn't just in Somervilla, MA. Check www.paintnite.com to see if they do it around your area! TIP#5: HAVE FUN!!!

    BUYER BEWARE. ZERO view of instructor guaranteed so if you enjoy painting the back of your neighbor's head while his elbow is jammed into your neck, Paint Nite is for you. Cattle car seating while you paint - Paint Nite has this down to an art. Never mind whether Paint Nite is supposed to be instructional, must be more pleasant painting sitting on top of each other without seeing what you're supposed to be painting. Brilliant business of maximizing profitability per square inch - don't take up too much space or you'll ram into the lucky painting / painter next to you.

    Have you heard of paint nite? Where you buy an admission ticket based on art/date/time/location (usually a restaurant) of your choosing, and you get to see a demo of how that painting is done and make one for yourself (or, get inspired to paint something completely different). supplies are included (canvas, paint). you can eat/drink prior/during/after at the restaurant, but my experience tells me drinking is more recommended than a full on meal (no space or time!) during the lesson. now they take that idea to making a terrarium instead of artwork. but i'm guessing due to the nature of the activity (ex. container, soil, gravel, decorative little rocks), many restaurants don't want to bother with that cleanup (only seen a couple steady locations so far), and/or there are too much to transport. so they actually have established a "headquarter" here (where we went), just a venue with tables and chairs, supplies storage, and a gigantic bar. drinks are like dance club prices (slightly better quality and much less slammed lol), and it's a much brighter room. really something anyone can do at home without much knowledge or talent LOL. but it's still a great time to have given the right company. and you get to eat the yummy food in the neighborhood! just note that parking can get a bit difficult so it's wise to arrive early and carpool. agreed with Jeannie D on the pricing as well. but given the materials provided being different (and more), the pricing differential is expected, just not thinking it should be $10/pax more than paint nite. though alternately, you should be able to obtain all the supplies from HD/Lowe's or local nursery and Michael's (Dollar Store/Xmas Tree Shop may have some for cheaper), and make one (or ten) yourself for less than the admission fee.

    Paint Nite @ Grafton Street

    A few friends and I attended "Malbec and Monet" at Grafton Street tonight, and had an absolute blast. As grad students, my friend had inquired about a student discount, and they were happy to oblige with a 20% discount! Just a few minutes and a couple sips in - we had already decided it was worth it. Our master artist, Shannon Pan, was excellent. She was a super sweet, gave excellent instructions and helpful hints! We were all happy with our final products, despite minimal painting experience! Also, huge bonus - free drinks if you upload a picture to Facebook or write a Yelp review. Such a great way to spend an evening!

    Owl painting 9/28
    Chelsea W.

    My friend and i had a nice time here today. We painted owls. I thought it was kind of odd thats its held in the back of a bar. The food looked amazing. Instructer was nice, till i was having an issue and was hoping for help but the response was "its only a 2 hour class".... Ok? What does that have to do with anything? By the time the class was over, it had only been 1 1/2 hours. So what was the big deal on 2 hours when you finished way early???? I did get my paint at home out and touched up stuff since she was in such a hurry to finish. Anyway, other than that, i had a nice time and love my painting.

    Awesome date night! If your person is ok to get their hands dirty, this is a great date night idea. It's just like Paint Nite. Similarly, they partner with restaurants to host a night where you design a terrarium or plant pot. I chose to go with the "Succulent Terrarium in Double Wooden Drawers" event because it was the only Friday one in the city (too lazy to travel to Somerville after a work week). See their facebook page for events in Boston. What made it a no brainer was that Groupon was offering a 50% off option, too. Once your purchase the Plant Nite Groupon, you still have to go to the Plant Nite website to sign up for the specific event. To my dismay... there are still material fees. It ended up being $24.50/person with the Groupon and another $10/each for the materials. So not bad, though it doesn't include a meal/drinks. Make sure you browse around for promotion codes, there seemed to be a lot out there. I recommend the chrome extension, Honey, which will scan the web for you once you get to check out pages. We ate at home because the event started at 7pm, but usually the restaurants are pretty good. This one was hosted at Brandy Pete's, which is your typical sports bar. You can eat during the event, but it gets pretty messy (I mean, you're working with dirt here), so I'd recommend eating before and getting drinks once you get there. One last thing I'll mention - the instructor was awesome. She wasn't like chatting you ear up or giving a ton of instructions. She basically just put all the materials on the table and let us get creative!

    i'm far from an artist but i can be when i'm drunk. :) Basically, an artist will walk you through the painting step by step. So you don't need to have any prior experience. If you can draw stick figures, you're much better than me. Even if you don't necessarily have a clue of what you're doing, you'll be fine. All paint supplies are provided so you don't need to bring anything. All paint nite events is located in a bar of some sort. So drink up!

    Went to a paint night last night with my boyfriend and it was a great time. That was the first time we did something like a paint night. We are planning to go back and do other things with Yaymaker.

I had to hire another planner who did the job in 3 weeks. I hired Veronica in May for my baby's birthday and 7 months later still nothing was done and she refused to give me back my money. She then texted me extremely threatening texts almost 3 months after my event to remove my one star review or she will sue me. She would then block me and then unblock me and continue to send threatening messages. This woman wants to keep her shady business practice behind wraps. She also threatened me about someone else leaving her a bad review. Her google reviews are mainly all one star reviews. She is the worst thing to ever happen to me. I wish I contacted the other party planning business before I came into contact with this evil person. I have included screen shots of her harassment. I have informed the police department and will take all legal measures should she continue to threaten and harass me. Her number is listed to show you she is the evil person behind these texts. Oh and she kept my money and did no work for what I paid her for. Keep that in mind. Google her. There is nothing but bad things written about her all over the internet let alone her google reviews. I should have read about all her unhappy customers and negative articles written To Veronica's comment: YOU are an absolute liar. I don't need to speak on whatever crap you're saying because a simple search of your google reviews will show all of the horrible reviews you have. If you google "blue ivy and Beyoncé" you can see articles of Beyoncé asking for a restraining order against this awful woman. Poor excuse for a human being! Literally everything she wrote in her response to my comment is a lie and don't entertain her BS! One simple google search will SHOW all her unhappy customers dating back YEARS!

Being in the wedding industry myself, I am extremely picky about who to entrust on our big day. Having a wealth of contacts to plan our own wedding, we undoubtedly knew Veronica was THE ONE for us! From our first interview with her she was on point, meticulous and had a back up plan for our "back up plan". She listened to our needs and wedding vision, kept me motivated and on time with my checklists and truly "got it". From day one I conveyed to her that we were looking for a "bulldog" day of coordinator/Superwoman that could handle a large wedding party (11 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen), large family, out of towner guests and whatever drama might enfold. I wanted someone as detailed as I am, if not more but who truly cares and understands the entire process. We found all that in Veronica, and then some! Her attention to detail is above and beyond. She has her templates, checklists and timelines down to a science. The day of our wedding went off without a hitch (at least that I am aware of). That's what I call a GREAT day of coordinator. I was never concerned or bothered by things that came up because it was fixed before I even knew about it. She was there for us until the very end which was 1:00 AM and was so attentive and checked in on us often!! LOVE that! By the way, she's so much fun and had a blast singing/dancing along with her and our FAB DJ. Our family and friends fell in love with her as well, that I almost forgot she was my planner. :) In a good way that is. She was extremely professional but was so down to earth, she was like family. She's a friend for life!! I highly recommend her and her team. In conclusion: Do yourself a favor, stop looking and call Veronica for your big day!

It was truly amazing to see how great and magnificent everything looked. The birthday lady was so taken aback by what had been done in her honor that she was at a loss for words.

As a fellow wedding vendor, we have collaborated since and it has been a joy to watch her creative design and styling process as well. Mandy has extremely chic taste, and yet she is a chameleon when it comes to creating events and inspiration shoots that are unique, creative, and show incredible variety.
