Celebrated our bff's birthday and we had an awesome day. Deb was sooo nice and accommodating. We all had sooo much fun. This was our first time to do painting. Deb and Liddi made sure that even if we were beginners that we will all have a great experience. I would recommend this for girlfriends hanging out or even for families hanging out. read more

Create Mix and Mingle hosted a Paint Night event at my company. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We were provided options in terms of what to paint and they even visited the office to check out the space. The ladies were so organized on the day of the event and were quick to get everything set up. The instructor played tasteful and upbeat music while she taught us what to paint. Not at all was the pace too fast and she encouraged us to make the painting our own if we felt inspired to. My employees had a lot of fun - 5/5 Highly Recommend. read more

Love this place. Came from SoCal and asked the artist if I can do my own thing. She was super supportive in assisting me to express my personality. I used the color pallet suggested and went to town with my own painting. It was more fun than I could imagine. read more

Create Mix And Mingle - The Bear Artist - Paint & Sip Near Me - San Mateo, California

Had a fun date night here! The, co-owner, Angie, is wonderfully friendly. Chan, our instructor, was super cool and patient as we observed and painted Starry Night with him. I was impressed how great everyone's paintings turned out. The space is open and spacious. A nice selection of beer/wine/snacks at the bar to enjoy before, during, or after painting. I would definitely come back! read more

The owner, Angela, was very accomodating with my family party a few weeks ago. We had a total of 12 attendees and at a group rate, allowed us to bring in our own food to serve while they provided juice and utensils. All painting materials were also included, as well as the instructor. Since we had kids, our party was put in the kids room. Very nice and intimate, but can get really warm. Painting with family members of all ages was a unique experience. It was definitely nice to see them all think outside the box and discover talents they didn't know they had. I truly believe this opened their eyes to possibly a new hobby. Thank you Angela and the Create Mix and Mingle crew for such a memorable event and for introducing this new activity to town! The service we received from you was truly appreciated and we hope to host more events here in the future. read more

Wonderful place! My kids ( 6 and 9) did multiple summer day camps and I did sip and paint night with my girlfriends. All of us had ton of fun. Very knowledgeable teachers, fun staff and great activities. Highly recommend this place for camps and night out! read more

Booked Create Mix and Mingle for a work event and all of my expectations were exceeded! I'd never done a paint and sip before and would definitely come back for a date night. Angie made planning and booking for my ever changing headcount easy and stress free. Stephanie was a wonderful instructor - she was patient and although I fell behind a bit I never felt rushed! She gave everyone time to complete the steps. Deb was a phenomenal host who was on-site to greet us, set up and bartend! She was extremely friendly and took great care of our group. Thanks, Deb and team! read more

Create Mix And Mingle - Paint & Sip Near Me - San Mateo, California

This place is amazing! What a perfect venue for a friend's night out, or special event! This was a fundraising event for our preschool, the owner Deb was awesome to work with! She donated a discounted price for our buy in fundraiser item. We were then able to make a good size profit towards our school's improvement fund. She also offers beer and wine for purchase during your event. Our instructor was awesome, and made it fun to create our masterpieces! We were able to bring in appetizers for our participants as well...fun, fun, fun evening!! They also have a studio for children and offer some amazing events for the younger crowd. You have to check this place out!! Will definitely be coming back soon!! read more

Create Mix And Mingle - Great night out...fun fun fun!! - Paint & Sip Near Me - San Mateo, California

I walked past this place looking for coffee and decided that I would like to paint...never had and my painting turned out great. I found their website and picked which sample I was interested in trying to recreate. It was a fantastic experience, I had enough time to finish my painting but my very detailed oriented sister did not. I'd like to go back again sometime soon. read more

Came for a company offsite and ended up having a blast! The lead painter was engaging and loads of fun. They serve drinks and candies while you paint...what could be more fun? read more

This is a really nice venue of a wine and canvas type of event. My company organized this for our team off-site and catered food from a restaurant. There was plenty of room for over 20 people to paint, mingle, eat, drink and dance! There is also a bar at the back and a good music system. It made for a complete event even for those who may not be into painting as much. read more

So I figured I probably better write a review since I've been here like 7 or 8 times. Obviously I love it. I have so much fun painting and the owners Deb and Angie are a delight. I've brought several friends and they all love it, and even my two nieces for the kids class. I've never painted before, but they go over all the details. Then you just sip your wine, paint and enjoy! No clean up, no stress and help when you want it. I highly recommend giving it a try. You might end up hooked like me. :-) read more

My husband and I attended a session as we got a groupon deal and it went great! The owner was so kind to us - she scheduled it to be a couples' painting, rather than forcing us to comply with the rules of the groupon deal and attend a one painting session. She scheduled one in advance and sent us a number of options for us to choose a painting, too. Moreover, when we got there, we were the only ones, and they still did not cancel the event (like so many other places do)! Throughout the session, the artist was super patient and took her time to explain everything to us - it really felt like a personal tutoring session! As a bonus, at the end of the day, the owner drove us to a nearby food place, as we still had about an hour before our Caltrain was due and this way, we saved time and kept our paintings safe. Thanks a million, Deb! read more

What a fun time!! We had a great team building event mixed with mimosas!! Can't wait to have another event here! read more

My daughter and husband did the family painting for Fathers Day. They were very happy with the way the event was coordinated and with their paintings. My daughter now finished a week of camp in this facility and once again we are very pleased. My daughter had fun and created some awesome paintings. We recommend this place for either kids or adults. read more

Great time with family ! We went for my sister in laws birthday and had so much fun !

WOW what a great experience. I have lead hands but I managed to pull something decent off. This is a great place and the instructor made us feel really good. Worthwhile place to spend a couple of ours and have some wine or beer read more

Planning/executing a corporate team building event with Deb was a pleasure from start to finish. There was so much flexibility to really craft an experience that was just right for my team. I was able to select the best start time, duration, food/beverage choices and I provided wineglasses with our company logo that they used to serve wine and then our guests took home. Deb was a thought partner throughout, and I look forward to working with her again! read more

We had our Holiday Team Party on December 7th. I worked with Angela to get the event all set up. Angela was so thorough from the first point of contact all the way through. We showed up and the venue was set up beautifully, the food was fantastic and the service was beyond exceptional. The event came out even better than all our planning or we could imagine. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great team building exercise. Thank you to Create Mix and Mingle from the bottom of our hearts for a wonderful experience from start to finish. We will definitely be back. read more

My friends and I went and Ellie was our instructor. We had a nice bottle of bubbly and the cheese plate. Ellie really patiently helped us make beautiful paintings! The quality or instructors and service is great! read more

Fun time painting. Teacher was very cool and patient with everyone. Definitely be back.

What a wonderful virtual experience! We were tasked with finding a fun team building activity for work and my group chose a painting party. Our colleagues did one and had a blast with Create, Mix, and Mingle so we decided to do the same. We had about 25 attendees and met via Zoom. Deb was great! She helped to organize it all and was very responsive throughout. They assemble the canvas kits for you which includes everything you need- canvas, paint, set of brushes, etc. We had Aly as our instructor who was very talented, encouraging, positive, and easy to follow. In the end, we all had beautifully painted canvases in our own styles to cherish forever. Many were pleasantly surprised and excited to paint with their family/friends. It was such a nice break amid the pandemic for all of us. Thank you Deb and Aly! read more

What a great time we had! Our group of 20 ladies got "together" virtually for a parent social. Deb was incredibly helpful in getting all the details aligned and making sure that everyone had their supplies. Stefani and Ellie managed the event perfectly. Even those of us who thought we had no artistic ability were pleasantly surprised with what we were able to accomplish with Stefani's guidance! And more importantly, we were all able to connect and bond even though we were all sitting in our own homes. I can't recommend this highly enough if you're looking for ways to gather virtually with friends, family, or colleagues. I am so looking forward to the time when we can do this in person, and I can take one of Create, Mix & Mingle's at their studio. read more

Did this w a group of friends for my bday. It was very fun, creative and a nice change than just going out for dinner. Want to come back for a date night group and even w the kids! read more

I was so excited to take my sister here while she was visiting. We got a glass of wine and sat down in a friendly and fun environment to use our creativity to paint. There was an instructor to help us along the way and he was patient and did s great job of explaining and going at a beginners pace! The owners deb and Angela are wonderful... Very inviting and wonderful selection of beer and wine! I can't wait to go again! read more

Create Mix And Mingle - Paint & Sip Near Me - San Mateo, California

I am, as they call me, a "repeat offender" here, and I have a great time every time I go. Only once was I not satisfied with the piece we worked on, but I'm more than willing to ignore it. Everyone here is super friendly and the atmosphere is lively. I highly recommend it! read more

This was super fun, and she did a great job, she is awesome! The painting was surprisingly easy and the result was very satisfying, I looked around and almost everybody had a great looking painting as well. Don't be intimidated by the thought of trying this, it's actually super easy, they take you through it step-by-step so anyone can do it. I highly recommend, I will definitely be back! read more

I went here for a work offsite with my team and found it to be a relaxing afternoon away from our usually hectic day jobs. You get to pick your painting as a group in advance and also the surface. We chose to paint the "moonlight trees" on a tote bag, which is great since it makes a nice handmade gift. The instructor was very helpful and patient. He would present helpful tips to orient you to the brushes as well as techniques, but he was very easy and pleasant with suggestions. I never felt like I was being evaluated and the whole process went at a nice leisurely pace. Overall this was very relaxing as long as you didn't feel the need to strive for perfection and just put your own unique touch to the painting. I would definitely recommend this as a mini escape and even think about creating your own music playlist too add a personalized touch for your group since the owners and staff were very flexible about everything! read more

We had an amazing experience. Everyone from the artist to the even coordinator were super nice and helpful. We had a great time mingling with the other attendees as well and got an awesome painting to take home at the end of it. I definitely recommend coming to this place. read more

I've had multiple good experiences at this place. A few years ago, my family had a very enjoyable birthday party for my mom here and they were very accommodating with our family's needs. Most recently, I went back for a class last Friday. They were planning to cancel because of low attendance, but I had mentioned a friend from out of town was joining. Honestly, I just mentioned it in conversation, meaning I would prefer a refund over rescheduling, but instead they were kind enough to hold the class anyway. We had SUCH a good time. Thank you for a fantastic experience! We will be back! read more

We just had a family reunion here and it was amazing. We had a group of 7, some of which weren't really convinced they wanted to participate, but once they began painting, everyone was so into it! Everyone had fun painting, sipping wine and snacking on the delicious cheese platters. Overall, it was an evening to remember! read more

Really nice and relaxing team offsite. The instructor was really helpful and clear, helping us to create art I never knew I was capable of creating. Everyone was super helpful and friendly, and overall the experience was very relaxing. Highly recommend it! read more

I highly recommend CM&M in San Mateo, CA!!! I just had my moms 60th Surprise BD party with 13 others and it was amazing!! The two owners Deb an Angie r so wonderful!! They really make u feel like your home! They both were very attentive yet so chill at the same time! Our artist Marco was a great fun instructor as well!! He not only instructs step by step but comes around helping you with tips as well. The way he describes each step is very clear! Most of my family cant even draw a stick figure and little did they know they are artistic after all...just needed a little encouragement!! :D Painting, Drinks, and LOVE is what this place is about!! PS their bar cups r GLASSES. Try this spot, totally worth it and its located RIGHT under the freeway on Norfolk. I am going to post our group picture! read more

Absolutely amazing staff! My daughter just finished her summer camp at Create Mix and Mingle. She absolutely loved it. The teachers were amazing and great environment for kids to learn. They taught her about using mix media- combining collage on paint canvas. She was really amazed and wants to go back again. I would definitely sign her up again for her next summer camp. Thank you Create Mix and Mingle staff :) read more

First time doing this for a team building event. I loved the teaching style, the air that anything you want to paint is fine, and to style yours differently if you feel like it. Not sure prices but the small selection of wine were decent. Overall really fun group experience! Very chill, very Zen, very good way to spend a Wednesday! read more

We had an awesome time celebrating my friend's birthday virtually with Create Mix & Mingle. Ordering supplies was simple and it came in a timely fashion with EVERYTHING we needed to make our painting. From brushes to paper to keep your workspace clean! Ellie explained the brushes and patiently guided us through painting a super cool monet's sunrise. The zoom link was easy to follow and the activity was quick to get started. I had a great time! read more

What great fun! Went with a group and had a blast painting with a glass of wine on the side. It's so interesting to see everyone's different techniques and how each person's final painting turns out! I will be back with more people to do it again. read more

Amazing experience, every single time. Ang and Deb, the owners, are beyond hospitable. Artists, Chan and Robin, were so talented, supportive, and inclusive. They highlight your personal painting style and help you flaunt it! Come here for a great time with friends, fam and coworkers! read more
