Question 1

Is Paint Your Partner!! good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paint Your Partner!! is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Michelle breaks every step down clearly. Most of our guests have never picked up a brush before, and they leave with something they're genuinely proud of. Worth knowing: Paint Nite events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.

Question 2

How is Paint Nite different from a painting class?

Accepted Answer

A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Michelle is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at The Old Spaghetti Factory, a real local spot, not a studio. Paint Nite invented this format in 2012 and has sold more than 10 million tickets. The trade-off is honest: lighting varies, it can get loud, and the person at the next easel is a stranger. That's the point. It's more of a night out than a class.

Question 3

What's Michelle like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Michelle is a real local artist based in SAN JOSE — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In SAN JOSE, 8 out of 11 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing. April N. said: 'Wonderful experience. Easy to follow. Positive vibes'

Question 4

What's The Old Spaghetti Factory like?

Accepted Answer

The Old Spaghetti Factory is a local venue in SAN JOSE — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. Paint Nite events happen at places like this by design — venues with character, regulars, and a bar. It can get lively. That's what makes it a night out rather than a class.

Question 5

Are there more Paint Nite events in SAN JOSE?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 21 upcoming events in SAN JOSE this month.

Question 6

Whatever happened to Yaymaker?

Accepted Answer

Yaymaker is Paint Nite. We brought both brands together under the Paint Nite name — same artists, same events, same format we invented in 2012. More than 10 million tickets have been sold across both brands combined. If you used to attend Yaymaker events in SAN JOSE, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 7

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Paint Your Partner!! includes the canvas, all the paint you'll need, the use of brushes and an apron during the event, and step-by-step instruction from Michelle. Drinks and food are ordered separately from The Old Spaghetti Factory — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 8

How long is Paint Your Partner!!?

Accepted Answer

The Old Spaghetti Factory's doors open at 11:30 AM, the event starts at 6:30 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:00 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Michelle starts the painting.

Question 9

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

You can reschedule your ticket to any other Paint Nite event up to 24 hours before this one starts. After that, tickets are locked — no refunds or changes. If Paint Nite cancels this event for any reason, you'll receive a full automatic refund.

Oh no! This event has just recently been cancelled.
