I used to live in Jacksonville and they had amazing paintings all over the city so you could always find something you liked close to you! From what I noticed, most of Tampa Bay's events are in St Pete, Clearwater, even Sarasota and only a few are actually in Tampa, and the paintings are not too appealing. Other than that, it's always a good time. I usually go with my girlfriends, but this time I went with my husband (event was held at Hamburger Mary's in Brandon - so much fun!) who purposely does not follow instructions and this is what we ended up with! Lol.

I've done Paint Nite twice now. Both times at different venues. And I love it! This last time was…read moreawesome. Made especially hilarious and fun with the group we had. People are great when inebriated and painting! I had one (really strong) drink before we started painting and I'm not sure if I would have kept drinking, if my painting would have been better or worse LOL. But I had fun and my painting turned out just fine! Our instructor for the night, Kenzie- fantastic! She was very patient with everyone there and input jokes at just the right times. She also went at a slow enough pace that everyone could follow. Appreciated that she went around the room with her painting after certain steps so we could see up close what to do next. Only complaint was that it was kind of hard to see what she was doing as she was at one end of the room and we were in the back and had to crane our necks around everyone's heads to see. I brought the hubby for our date night, who initially had that "oh, shit. really??" look as we saw the room fill up with only women-hahaha! But then more couples started coming in and he became more relaxed. He thought this was a chicks only kind of thing. But it's not! He even said afterwards that he had a lot of fun and enjoyed painting. Already looking at next month's paintings and venues to see what we should paint next! They always have coupon codes you can use when buying tickets and usually there are great deals on Groupon and Living Social.

I would highly recommend Studio 131 for all of your wedding and celebration needs!…read more Karen and Bubba were the absolute best! They never hesitated to make different accommodations for changes for our wedding during the hurricanes. It just so happens our wedding fell between the two. We had to change venues twice, but they never acted like it bothered them at all. They are top notch in what they do. They had the storm destroyed beach in IRB picture perfect! Everyone complimented the set up, flowers and silks. They were beautiful blowing in the gulf breeze. Thank you for all that you did to make our special day SPECTACULAR!

He is only 2 but even he can tell how much hard work and dedication that Karen has to offer! I 1,000% recommend Studio 131 for not only to host your events but to decorate it! glad to be a repeat customer and I can assure you that it will not be my last event with them!

Everything was ready for us when we showed up - the leaves, the base, and the frame were all cut out, we just had to choose our techniques and colors we wanted to use. The woman helping us was AWESOME! She showed us how to do different things to achieve interesting effects on the wood. I loved that they had plenty of examples all around the space so you could look at things and be like - I want to try that technique, or, I like that color combination. The environment was fun and relaxing. They give you an apron, and you sit on a stool at a very large worktable. They sell snacks, or you can bring your own, but we had just finished eating, so we were good. There was also an Intro to Mah Jong class going on while we worked, so it was fun listening to that. Our projects turned out awesome, and it was fun to be able to bring something home with us as soon as it was done.

You get to choose which type of project you do, wall sign, tray, etc. and you choose your design and paint colors. All of the choices are a little overwhelming but they'll help you along the way. The workshop was 3 hours long but we needed more time to complete it and there was some waiting throughout the process because of paint drying, the staff helping others, etc. It's a lot of fun and I would definitely do it again. It can be a little pricey depending on what project you pick. I do wish they sold drinks, at least water, so bring your own.

There are so many great things I just have to list them: * Great communication * Enthusiastic * Creative - she even designed signature drinks and printed a sign. * Brought and setup her own bar which was awesome looking * Had decor specific to my event. (a miniature lighted "70" for my birthday and cocktail napkins.) * Great personality! All of my guests loved her. * Cleaned up after. * Drinks were made perfectly. She provided options for her level of service. Our arrangement was that we would supply the alcohol and she provided the rest: mixers, garnishes, glasses, cocktail napkins, ice, etc. It was perfect! I did not have to do a thing! Thank you Tangie! Note: Do NOT get confused by the bad reviews for a "Tipsy Tampa Bartending and events LLC." They are a whole different company.

Great outdoor space, lush green grass, palm trees, and water surrounding a gazebo. The gazebo is raised, 6 steps up on a platform. Unfortunately due the weather the original gazebo was destroyed and there was just a temporary one placed. Not as pretty for photos but still kept the sun off of the newlyweds. From the left side, mostly hidden by palm trees, there is an exposed area under the platform with random concrete and trellis. Overall a nice outdoor space for a wedding.

This is a new addition to Main Street and it is very hip and bright and fun and has great service and great food. But, the element that literally MADE this experience happen was the music of Jon Moffit. He is terrific! His variably toned guitar, his mellow, rich, and sonorous voice, his great repertoire ranged from Bobby Dylan to 50's rock to soft and light love. If you hire Breezin for a party, we would highly suggest you listen to Jon before choosing another artist. He said he is going to be at El Melvin's every Friday for awhile. We will be back, with friends, and often! The Mexican food is interesting, creative, and delicious, the atmosphere makes you smile, and Jon makes your experience rock! Andrea C., Sarasota
