With the completion of my very first paint party here, I'm totally motivated to do it again. I was…read moreplanning a destination bachelorette party several months ahead for my now sis-in-law, Tess T. Based on the business' description on this site, I contacted JJ who ran the show. She responded to me right away and worked out a custom painting-to-do, inspired by a couple I showed her through email. JJ either texted, emailed, or called me to make sure I had directions and confirm details. I was able to pay for the entire class in advance through their website. As soon as we arrived at her house, we were brought upstairs to her living area which was set up like a classroom with 7 easels, primed canvases, paint palettes, an assortment of about 8 brushes, paper towels, rinsing cups, practice paper, and an agreeable soundtrack. If we needed any additional paints or anything, we just had to ask. She provided paint t-shirts/smocks to some who were unprepared. I was able to comfortably change out of my dressy clothes into an old tee and sweatpants in her bathroom. At the front of the classroom, JJ showed us what to do on her own canvas accompanied by a flatscreen TV showing the painting from start to finish, step-by-step on loop. Her calming voice was just perfect for teaching the class. She would come around to give us help, personalized suggestions, and technique pointers. I learned a lot. Though most of us went off-road with our paintings, it was impressive that we were all inspired by the same subject. Also, though we brought a lot of snacks and spirits, most of us ended up too involved with our paintings. It seems that the best times we could have indulged are when we were waiting a few minutes for our paint to dry. If I lived closer, I would do this again and again with After 5 Art Party with JJ at the helm.

This is my first time ever doing one of these painting parties so I had no idea what to expect, but…read moreJJ totally hooked us up! We drove into this cute community and were allowed to park in the garage. We were then escorted upstairs and immediately we felt like it was play time. Super cute set up with the tables set up like we were in a class surrounded by wall art made by JJ. Very cool with lots of inspiration to paint. Everything was all set up, all we had to do was listen to the instructions and have a good time. It was a very chill experience, the instructor wasn't pushy or overbearing at all. She pretty much guided us and let our creativity run wild. I learned so much and I totally want to do this again!

I cannot express how incredibly grateful I was to have booked them. Specifically Chris and Jacob for our photobooth and dj services. Callista was our main go to contact during the planning process and she too kept everything full circle communicated with everyone involved. They ensured our vision was not only fulfilled but also helped us when we needed insight. They are SO easy to work with and worth every single penny spent. So so so many people approached me and sang their praises and even sang their praises at our gift opening. If this short novel isn't enough to convince you, get in touch with them, they are so excited to help you meet and make your event the best.

I gave Lucy very little direction, and she just created the vision and pulled it off flawlessly. Talk about making my life easier! In addition to taking the work off my shoulders by making perfect design decisions, Lucy was a god-send on event day. I have a lot of event planning experience, and it is incredibly rare that a vendor shows up and just does their job. Generally, everyone asks a million questions and needs a lot of direction. Lucy, however, arrived with a smile on her face and JUST GOT TO WORK. On event day, there is nothing better than a helper who just takes initiative. It is beyond clear to me that Lucy is a very experienced professional in her field. Without a doubt, I would never hesitate to trust Redefined Designs and Events to take on even more event planning roles in the future. What a rock star.

We obviously wanted everything to be perfect...The Studio I do came to us by word of mouth. Our daughter's wedding plans changed several times during the pandemic crisis. It was stressful to say the least. We had a very small gathering. The one constant, was how professional and kind Gene was to our daughter and her now husband.

We did not get to have our reception and dance it is postponed until next year, Gene and his team will be there! They will do more photos and DJ the dance.
