Private Parties
We’d love for you to have a party with us! We try to make your experience with us as fun and easy as possible! Here are the basics of how parties work:
- For your party you select 2-3 projects for your guests to choose from. Most projects have multiple designs available.
- When you select your projects, we create a send you a custom web link for your private party. You then send that to everyone invited and they register for the party through our website so it’s easy for you!
- Our studio can accommodate up to 24 people (depending on project size). If you have more than 24 people, let us know and we can try to arrange for it!
- You will have access to the studio for class for 2.5 hours. We have a $25/hr fee after 3 hours that will come out of the host’s deposit.
- The deposit for reserving the studio for your class is $75. That deposit is fully refundable as long as you meet the required minimums and do not go over your allotted class time. Deposits are refunded within 2 business days AFTER your class date.
- Rather than having a minimum number of people we just require a minimum group total of $350 for Monday-Thursday and a $550 group total on Friday-Sunday.
- You may bring in any food or drinks (what you bring is your business, not ours!) We only ask that you clean up what you brought, and we’ll take care of the rest! Please reach out to us if you need space for food, so we can make sure we have the space to accommodate!
- If anyone registers but does not attend your party, we do not give refunds. They are welcome to come pick up, or another guest can take with them, the purchased project and stencil to be completed at home.
Special Notes:
- Because of the different painting process of door hangers, they are done by themselves and cannot be done with other types of projects. Door hangers are also not always available as a private party option.
- Specialty projects such as Paint Your Pet/House and seasonal projects may not be available for private parties
- Large events for more than 24 people can be done offsite, ask us for details! (Travel fees may apply!)
- We can offer Hammer at Home party kits. Reach out to us for more information.
- We can update you on your registered guests prior to your party up to two times by request.
We can't wait for you to have your special event with us!
