I Visited Painting with a Twist on Valentine's Day and added candle making to our session. We arrived at 2:30 to make the candle and the front desk was a pigsty. I was shocked there was only one person working the front desk; checking people in, making candles, prepping the canvas, and serving drinks. The candle making process was seamless, although we had to impose on another painting session to choose our scents. The painting portion was expected to start at 3:00. The instructor walked in at 2:30 and the tables were not prepped at all. When booking, it was expressed that this location did not offer BYOB. Midday drinking isn't up our alley anyway, so there was no issue respecting their policy. The front room became jam packed and seats had not been designated with names at this point. We were finally able to sit down and noticed that people brought their own alcohol. A customer asks the instructor if it was okay for them to bring their own alcohol and she allowed it which was very strange to me, as they seemed to be urging people to drink from their "bar" and had a no BYOB policy. 3:30 hit and class had not started. Paint was still being placed on plates, and canvases were still being prepped for the drawing. At around 3:40. My partner and I decided to leave. Letting the front desk staff know that we were leaving. We grabbed our non-painted canvas and they were almost in shock that we wanted to leave with the canvas. If we can't get a refund, we're definitely taking the canvas that we've paid for. We were told to come back for our candle, which we did. This place did not respect our time by any means. The service was pitiful and I can't help but think there's another reason why the service was so bad. No one apologized for the wait or even informed us of the hold. Would not recommend.

This year, I've been to this location twice. Once as a guest for an event and once as a hostess for…read morea painting party. At the initial event, everything was coordinated and organized. It started and ended on time. We had an option between 1 of 2 paintings. The instructor was easy to follow and we played a game - guess the Artist or Group name of the song played. I enjoyed the painting experience and decided to host a painting party. Registering and setting up for the party was simple and straight-forward. The terms were adequately explained and guest registration and tracking was made easy using a website link that they provided. The party involved a deposit, selecting the painting, providing a music selection and having at least 10 registered guests. The choice of paintings were numerous with over 1000 options. For the painting, I chose Butterfly on a Pink Moon, however, I chose to use purple in lieu of pink. So, I guess my personal art title is Butterfly on a Purple Moon. During the planning/waiting phase, when I had questions, I was always able to reach someone, and they were able to assist me. Our party was in the smaller painting room in the back, and I was allowed to bring in food, drinks and decorations. Just fyi, the venue does have alcoholic drinks and water for purchase at very reasonable prices. During the party, we played a game - guess what the instructor was drawing - and the prize was a painting done by one of the instructors. I really enjoyed the event and my guests indicated that they also had a good time. Our instructor, Nancy, was good. Overall, I found this type of activity to be very enjoyable, easy to set-up and would enjoy doing it again. I recommend checking out any of their events that are open to the public. The venue offers in-studio events, private parties, at-home paint kits and pop in & DIY. Candle making is an option that can be added on.

I haven't painted a picture since elementary but i saw a Groupon for Paint Nite and decided to give…read moreit a try. I'm glad I did because this was so fun! The two hour class went by in a flash and I left with a picture I'm quite proud of. I cant wait to go again! Our instuctor was Emma and she was awesome. She took us step by step, giving us ample time to finish each step before moving on. She also walked the room assisting wherever anyone needed. At the beginning of class we each put on an apron, Emma went over our tools (canvas, 3 paintbrushes, cup of water, paper towel, and colors...that was it!), and it was time to begin. About an hour in we were given a 15-20 min break to walk around the hotel (our class was held at Embassy Orlando), use the restroom, etc...Once class was over Emma took a picture of each of us, with our paintings, for their FB page. This is perfect for date night (while women dominated, there were guys), ladies night, birthday, etc...No food was served but drinks were on hand for purchase.

Let me start by saying that the event was sold out so the class was full. The room was loud which made it quite difficult to follow and hear the instructor. I have to say that our instructor did an great job at walking us through the different steps. She also walked around the room to help anyone who needed advice or any kind of assistance. She also gave us a 15 mins break to touch up/ finish up, refill our drinks, etc. My criticism for the class is as follows: 1) I felt that the room we had was too small for the size of the class 2) I think the seating should have been better arranged. My friend and I had our backs to the instructor making it hard to follow 3) I know paint nite is supposed to be a great time with friends but at the same time I feel it is important to respect the other participants so that they could also enjoy the experience. My overall experience was OK. I completed the painting but it didn't really look like the example because I skipped a few step, being unable to hear the instructor. I'd like to reiterate that the instructor was AWESOME and did a good job. Some of the participants were loud and it made it hard for others to enjoy.
