JoAnne Our organization reached out to Paints and Cocktails to provide a virtual lesson. It was easy to coordinate, and they were very understanding and gracious with the changes to the number of participants.

Our instructor, Gary, was wonderful: engaging, knowledgeable and funny. Gary provided honest feedback in a sincere and polite manner. We had novice and experienced painters in our group, and we all had a great time and learned many techniques.

I would highly recommend registering for one of Paint and Cocktails virtual or in-person events. The two hours went by so quickly because it was so enjoyable. The event felt intimate despite being virtual due to the pandemic. As their website states: it did make us "paint (or learn to paint) in a way that [ignited our] creative style."

Catherine We worked with Gary for a virtual client event and it was a wonderful experience! Gary was organized, professional, and interactive. He made the logistics of shipping materials easy and ensured the group had a great experience as they created their artwork. Looking forward to working with you again!

Gary with Paint & Cocktails is fantastic. We had a group of over 50 for our paint experience and he was fantastic. He was very personable and played great music. He also directed the group so well! Everyone had a great time and the paintings turned out great.

Paint & Cocktails hosted an online painting fundrasier for our gymnastics club. It was so much fun! Gary was so easy to work with when planning the event, he was quick to respond back to any questions that I had, professional and clear.
He was also great during the actual class, his instructions were so clear and he helped others along the way when they had questions. I also loved that he encouraged everyone to make the painting their own, especially since there were quite a few kids participating. He also has a great sense of humour which kept everyone smiling and laughing.
It was honestly the best experience ever! Everyone had an amazing time. I would highly recommend him for any event that you have and I look forward to working with him again in the future.
Thank you so much Gary! 🙂

Gary did a fantastic job of leading the sessions so that our groups had fun, were engaged, and came away with their own creative versions of "fun art"! Thank you again, Gary!

Wonderful evening spent with Gary from Paint & Cocktails! We had a group of about 25 French teachers from the WRDSB join in the live stream of his painting tutorial and he was absolutely fantastic!

He and I worked together to coordinate the event and his communication was always clear and timely!

We look forward to hosting another event with Gary in the future! If you are looking for an awesome virtual (during COVID) or in person event, connect with Gary!

Merci beaucoup!

We had planned a virtual paint night for our students as they head into their final exams. We wanted to offer a stress-free, fun activity and Gary hit the ball out of the park! We had also opted to send paint kits through Gary and he made the process effortless. If you're looking for a fun, safe, socially distanced activity with co-workers, friends or family look no further!

I planned an evening for my mom's birthday with Paint & Cocktails for family and friends. Everyone had a blast! We ended up purchasing our own supplies only because there wasn't enough time between booking and the paint night to have their kits mailed to everyone. Gary sent us links of where to find everything we needed! The instructions were so clear and made the whole event seamless.
The paint class itself was so much fun. Gary led our class and he made it so easy to follow along and encouraged us to paint in our own styles too- it didn't have to be perfect!
I will most definitely be doing this again. It was also a great way to see family and friends from far away during the class.

This was so much fun! We had a group of 18 and did a virtual party. Gary provided porch light ice of of painting materials so that saved the cost of shipping and provided a list of materials for those who had supplies. Gary was fun and engaging, played music and offered art facts along the way. You do not need to be an artist just be open your creative side! I also loved that Paint & Cocktails is a local business in KW! Thanks Gary! We all enjoyed the evening!

Gary is such a fun and entertaining instructor! He is so flexible with dates timings and provided a thorough list of supplies, so it was so easy to plan! My coworkers and I opted for a Paint and Lunch Event, and did the Serengeti Giraffe! The results were amazing for a bunch of first timers and a much needed break from our work routines. We will definitely be back for more!

Our service group was looking for a way to connect and Paint and Cocktails provided a perfect opportunity. I was able to do a porch pickup for those needing painting kits and Gary provided a thorough list for those with their own materials. The booking process was seamless and Gary was very responsive with my many emails. The class itself was so much fun. Gary was a great instructor - patient and knowledgeable. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely, had a few "sips" of art juice throughout the class, and created personal "masterpieces." Will definitely do this again.

We hired Paint & Cocktails for a corporate virtual paint night. We're in Calgary. Even though Gary was in Ontario, the location difference did not affect us at all. Gary was very responsive to my emails. Gary was able to ship all our paint supplies bulk to our Calgary office. Gary was a great instructor. Very informative but still kept our attention for the 2 hours. Definitely will hire Paint & Cocktails again.

Gary hosted our event at The Brampton Irish Centre on February 28 and it was so much fun! His high energy and hilarious sense of humour just adds to the amazing night! I’d highly recommend booking Paint & Cocktails for your next event! To add to everything they bring to the table, they are a Canadian owned company with roots in Bramalea! Loved everything about our night! Thanks Gary and Paint & Cocktails!!

Everything from the emails to plan the details to the actual event was super smooth and efficient! Paint and Cocktails hosted a team event for the teachers at our school and everyone had a great time and fun experience with Gary. He was funny, patient, and flexible around our lunch schedule:) I would definitely recommend this experience through Paint and Cocktails!

On January 28th seven of us from the Escarpment Probus Retiree Group stretched our talents at our Paint & Cocktails events. Gary was very patient with us and we all had a marvelous time and we will definitely do it again. We won’t become famous artists but the experience was great and dinner at Shoeless Joe’s was great.

Paint & Cocktails hosted a year end work team event for us. Had a great time. Everyone learned a lot and was pretty pleased with the end product. Gary was engaging and patient when needed (often) and contributed very positively to the overall experience. Thanks a bunch!

Paint & Cocktails hosted a painted night at our company office as a corporate team building event. It was a HUGE success! The artist/instructor was great to work with, not only while painting but also during the booking process. He was very professional, well prepared and a great instructor. We had 45 employees participate and yet each and every painting was unique in the end. We are currently going through the photos taken from the event on the companies facebook page and laughing! Would definitely book again with Paint & Cocktails.

Gary and Susan were amazing. We’ve had them out twice, first night we did Willow song, second night Paint you Pet. It was so much fun. Our pictures were fabulous. As someone with no artistic talent, I was quite proud of the picture. They were easy to deal with, brought everything with them, had smiles on their faces (and at the end of a weej(Friday night) it really helps. Two hours just flys by. Our fundraising was a major success and it’s because of them.
