PARTY FAQs
When? Saturdays, either 11 a.m. or 2 p.m. Arrival Time 15 minutes prior to start time. Please do not arrive sooner than this, as we will be setting up the studio for your party. (2 hour party rental includes: 1.5 hour party time with 15 mins on either end of party to set up and pick-up.)
What to bring? Snacks, cake, drinks, paper goods, serving utensils, balloons, decorations. Please plan to remove any food and decorations at the end of the party. (Note: our studio is brightly decorated and requires very little, if any decoration, but we understand customization is sometimes desired.)
Who counts as a paid party guest? Any child participating in any planned activity. Adults do not count, if they are just assisting a child.
How many guests can attend the party? We have the capacity to host 25 people total in the studio, including children. Please note that when we use 100% of that capacity, it will be busy in the studio. The max amount of participants for the art projects is 14 children. If you have not been to the studio, please schedule a time to stop by and assess the space you are booking for your party.
Can we have music? Absolutely! I have several kid-friendly playlists or you can connect to our Bluetooth Speaker and play your own kid-friendly music!
