Signed by for a class at Wood n Tap in Enfield weeks ago. Despite many reminder messages , including one earlier in the day, I showed up at 6:20 on 7/10/24 for a 6:30 class only to finally find out that Baylee sent an email at 5:06 PM that the class was canceled due to lack of registrations. Really, you didn't know this the day before. Then to add insult to injury you off 10% off a future class. I could find a better deal than that in the internet and it doesn't even pay for my gas to get to the canceled event. You can be sure I'll never sin up for another event by PaintNite with this lack of consideration read more

Yaymaker - Cancellation - Party & Event Planning Near Me

Normally the price per person is $45, but Groupon had a $25 deal for this. I ended up buying the max of 4--two for a date night with my boyfriend and two for a girls night out with my mom. With my boyfriend, we signed up to paint a panda (moderate level) with Jessica Behm. I used to take art classes when I was young, but that was probably 10 years ago. On the other hand, my boyfriend isn't super artsy and painting is not something that he would ever do for fun on his own. But Jess was super easy to follow and was great with those who needed a little extra help on a step. We both came away from the two hour experience having had a great time and wanting to sign up again. They provide all the art materials and a smock, but it's still recommended to wear clothing that you don't get paint on (wasn't an issue for me but good to be on the safe side). My boyfriend and I ate dinner before and just ordered drinks when we were there. Ours was held at Wood-n-Tap in Hartford, and even though it was past 7:00, they still had a discounted Happy Hour menu that we could order from, which was great. (We got two delicious raspberry lemonades for $4 each.) There were some people who ordered appetizers with their drinks, but I'd highly recommend just eating dinner before, because you're going to want to focus on painting. Like another reviewer said, I would suggest getting there early and picking somewhere to sit that has an easy view of where the artist will be painting. Jess was great about painting a step and then walking around with her canvas, but it's just easier to reference if you're not always craning your neck to see. I love that Jess had a camera, and she went around taking pictures of people in the process of painting and of the end result. We were told the pictures would be uploaded onto Facebook later, and that we could look for them and tag ourselves. I think this company uses social media in a super effective way. I would say in signing up and choosing the level of difficulty for the painting that if you're not very good at art and want something decent-looking with minimal effort that you should go with the paintings that are marked "easy." "Moderate" for me was a little challenging, and I had to focus to make my painting look the way I wanted it to, but I'm also a perfectionist. They also add more painting events to the website throughout the month, so if you don't see something you like, definitely check back. On the same note, if you see something you like, buy your tickets early because they do sell fast. I'm so excited to do this again next month! read more

Paint me pink!! Paint Nite is an absolutely fantastic and fun experience, and my new favorite activity. Paint, meet new people, chat, eat, drink, try something new and different--Paint Nite has it all!! My friend and I painted a moonlit beach scene at Wood 'N' Tap in Hartford with the guidance of Jessica Behm, our instructor. Jess was outstanding. She was kind, patient, and very helpful. She broke down the techniques, and walked the group through each step at a perfect pace to follow along. She walked around and gave tips about how to do a certain technique and showed how she did it, too. Jess made everything very easy to understand. She really knew what she is doing!! She was just wonderful!! I'm not very good with paints and painting in general, and I'm so proud of and love my moonlit beach scene, thanks to Jess!! We enjoyed well-made drinks, and listened to music in the background, while we painted in this nice and spacious venue. The only negative about the room was that the lighting was not the best, and it was difficult at times to see the paints and colors clearly. It was otherwise very comfortable and easy to get up and access the instructor's work (to view it up close) as well as access the paints and other materials supplied. I'm looking forward to attending more of these nights, with painting and chatting with new friends, and just trying something new and different. I'm going to have to open a gallery with all of my masterpieces!! read more

See all

This was simply stated one of the best nights that I can remember in a long time. This venue was very well run, absolutely no painting experience necessary. All supplies were included in our price. Regular price is $45 per person but we found a deal on groupon for $22, WELL WORTH IT. Dress with old clothing. They do provide a smock but we still got paint here and there. Time is 2 hrs.You leave with a masterpiece that you create. You MUST watch the artist so I would suggest that you find an easel facing where she will be giving you directions. I sat with my back to her so I was literally 5 steps behind her. You can purchase drinks and appetizers during the event but I would strongly advise you to eat before or after because if you take your eyes off your painting or the artist you will be just lost like I was. The cons- only one teeny tiny one. At EXACTLY 9:00pm they asked the group of 30 people to take their masterpiece for a group shot for Facebook, the majority of the crowd was finishing up their paintings. I watched the wait staff in seconds remove all the easals and what paint we had left over in our paper dishes. NOooooooooooo I am not finished tweaking yet. Sooooo please give us a 10 minute warning or something next time. I will absolutely be back again and again. read more

This company will not refund my money for an event that they canceled. I have emailed them several times to get a refund and all they do is direct me to their website saying that they do not refund anything. I did not cancel my appointment they canceled my appointment and I deserve a refund. this is BS. definitely would not recommend this company to anyone. I want my money back not a code for another event. I will be writing reviews everywhere I can to warn people to steer clear of this company. There are many other companies that offer these events. There is no phone number to call. Total crap. Zero stars for them. read more

This is so much fun! It is so easy to forget that you have a creative side. I got a Groupon or LivingSocial deal for the Paint Nite event at Hot Tomatoes and had a blast! The instructor walks you through step by step and lo and behold at the end you have created your own little masterpiece on canvas. You paint while enjoying food and drink from the restaurant that is hosting the event. It sometimes feels like there is nothing to do in Connecticut. Paint Nite is a fresh new idea that is a lot of fun and a great stress reliever. read more

Paint Nite is hands down one of the best events I've participated in. I was a bit nervous and skeptical as I have never been any good with my artistic skills or lack thereof, but I gave it a shot as it was a night out with my sisters. You can expect to just show up and have a good time, all painting supplies provided and drinks served as you paint if you like. So long as you follow along with the instructor you should be just fine. Two hours is all it takes and you end up with your very own piece of artwork that you'll be proud to show off, display, and quite honestly brag about. The event and great experience was so wonderful I expect to do another very soon. The only drawback may have been the lack of room at this venue (Cuvee). Seating was very tight, but this was only a minor drawback in comparison to the overall great time I had. read more
