"What is your Cancellation Policy?"
Cancellation Policy for Public Events: You must contact us via phone or email 24 hours in advance. NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS will be given for no-shows or class cancellations less than 24 hours before the class starts. No exceptions. We are an event venue with a cancellation policy just as a concert or performance center would not refund your ticket if you couldn't attend.

"Where can I host a party?"
Anywhere U have tables, chairs and access to electricity and water!...we've partied at campgrounds, restaurants, bars even zoos and movie theatres! Your own dining room table or basement rec room is a great option too! Give us a call and we can suggest some local venues that we've partnered with as well!

"How do I choose the painting?"
Check with us to be sure your desired date is available by calling 715-942-7374 or emailing upaintandparty@gmail.com. Once you've called, pre-paid for 3 participants to lock-in your reservation you can view the GALLERY tab on our website to decide on your painting. Briana will instruct one painting to the entire group- however you are all individually welcome to 'make it your own' and be creative!
"If I host a Private Event, and less guests arrive, what happens?"
Regardless of attendance you are still required to pay for the 'minimum' number of participants depending on where you live in Wisconsin. (Example: Wausau= 8 participant min, Neillsville= 12 participant min, Milwaukee= 16 participant min.) Having your guests pre-pay you, is a great way to avoid last minute cancellations and back-outs.
"I want to host a party, but don't have enough people..."
Contact an area bar/restaurant and see if they would be willing to host a Public Event! Restaurant owners love to bring in a crowd especially on a slow night of the week- let's support local businesses and get your party on! Give us a call to see how we can help!

"Is it messy?"
That really depends on how wild U are- We keep the 'mess factor' to a minimum and have never had a bad paint incident, however we cannot control U or your guests! We provide aprons, and plastic table covers just in case. Acrylic paint easily comes off of most hard surfaces so we always recommend a non-carpeted room. Good news, wet acrylic paint will come out of most fabrics if it is washed immediately. Once it dries it will be permanent. Basically, DO NOT WEAR SOMETHING YOU DON'T WANT TO RISK GETTING PAINT ON. Maybe you will like your shirt better with a splash of orange? Sign that shirt and call it art! Bottom line, you paint at your own risk and U Paint & Party will not be held liable for any damages associated with hosting a paint party...okay, serious stuff over... now let's have some fun!
