Host an event they’ll remember.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MOBILE PAINTING EVENTS
We take the pressure off hosting by bringing a beautifully guided painting experience to your space, so you can host with confidence and deliver a moment your guests will talk about long after it’s over.
Were you invited to a painting event? How exciting!
What is the Gold Frame Painting Experience like?
Our Mobile Painting Parties in Southern California
are a little bit different than what you may find elsewhere…
Every detail of our events is thoughtfully designed so you can simply arrive and enjoy a pause from the busy world. More than guiding guests through a painting, we create a space where you can feel encouraged, refreshed, and connected with friends. From the flowers and refreshments to thank-you gifts, every element is intended to help you feel seen and cared for.
There’s no pressure to create “perfect” art, it’s okay to laugh at yourself, and every brushstroke is exactly right. You’ll leave with a painting you love, along with memories of a restorative, joyful experience in community that you’ll carry with you long after the event.
So gather your people, we’ll come to you!

BettyHave a few questions?
We have answers!It’s normal to wonder if this is the right fit for your group. Most people arrive uncertain if they’re “creative” enough for this, if the logistics will fit their needs, or if it will feel like another generic event. We’re here to change that!
Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about our painting events. If you’re curious about something else, don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re just a message away!
-
No painting experience required! We guide our guests with simple step-by-step instructions so ANYONE can achieve a beautiful piece.
Just because a painting looks beautiful at the end doesn’t mean it’s difficult to do!
The only thing we consider when assessing the difficulty of our paintings is age. When you reach out, let us know which painting you’re interested in and whether any guests will be under 16. We’re happy to guide you on whether that design is best suited for adults or works well for a wide range of ages.
-
At this time, our standard painting events are designed for guests 16 and older. This helps us maintain the quality of materials, pace of instruction, and overall experience for everyone, since younger participants often require additional supplies and hands-on support.
That said, we absolutely love serving families and young creatives. If you’re interested in hosting a children’s or youth-focused event, we’d love to talk with you about a custom option. This is a growing branch of Gold Frame that will be launching soon.
Children’s events are available by custom quote for ages 10–15 and include adjusted pricing, age-appropriate designs, and tailored instruction. For safety and experience reasons, we’re not able to accommodate guests under 10 at this time.
-
If you are still checking with your guests or other involved parties about the date for your event, that is completely acceptable. We are happy to place a 24-hour courtesy hold on the date so you can confirm with everyone.
After 24 hours, we cannot guarantee your date will remain available. The only official way to guarantee a date is by reserving it with your booking fee.
-
You don’t need your final headcount today. Whether you are hosting an intimate group or a grand opening, we’ll finalize your guest count 48 hours before the event. We’ll then send a final invoice for your confirmed guest count ($35/person), so everything is perfectly prepped for your arrival.
-
We have no minimum number of attendees required to plan a party! From intimate groups to grand gatherings, we are thrilled to accommodate events of all sizes. We want our hosts to breathe easy, knowing they can celebrate without minimums to meet.
By using a dedicated booking fee to cover our professional prep and travel, we’re able to remove those attendance hurdles. This allows us to offer a lower per-person rate of just $35, so you only ever pay for the guests who are actually at the table.

How it Works
To keep our individual guest rates as low as possible for your group, our pricing is broken into two simple parts:
The Creative Booking Fee: A $150 non-refundable fee that secures your date and allows us to prepare everything behind the scenes. This includes event planning, travel, materials coordination, and dedicated staff for your gathering.
The Guest Rate: By separating the booking fee, we’re able to keep our per-person rate lower. Each guest is just $35, which is below the typical industry rate. This means you’re only paying for the people who actually attend, no more and no less.
Booking your private event is simple!
Step 1: Contact us to check availability for your event.
Step 2: Submit your $150 Booking Fee using this page within 24 hours of our call to secure your date!
Step 3: We’ll check in with you two days before your event to confirm your final guest count with an invoice. Your remaining balance, calculated at $35 per guest, is due two days before your event. This allows us to prepare every canvas and detail with care, so everything is ready when you arrive.
We can only hold a date for 24 hours - please complete your checkout as soon as possible :)

We are a painting party company that comes to you.
From Birthday Painting Parties to Bridal Showers to Fundraisers to Corporate Events, we love providing a more unique painting experience that helps you and your guests or team members feel excited to bring their artwork home. Every detail is carefully thought out so that you and your guests feel not just like an artist, but also restored and filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy.
Here are some of the types of painting experiences you can book for groups:
Private Painting Parties
The majority of our events are private parties where you, as the host, get to invite your friends, family, church, or anyone you like for special parties.
These Mobile Painting Parties are ideal for private events - we bring everything to you! All you need to do is provide tables, chairs, and space for your guests, and we do the rest!
Private paint and sip parties
These events can also be brushed up with one of our refreshment packages, which include homemade lemonade, water, homemade cookies, and charcuterie. You are welcome to provide your guests with wine and beer.
Common private events include (but are not limited to!)
Birthday Painting Parties for kids or for adults
Family Reunion Painting Parties
Bridal Shower Parties and Bachelorette Painting Parties
Women’s church groups
MOPS groups
Girl’s Night
Whatever private event you can think of where those in your circle would enjoy an evening being an artist and enjoying community.
Local Business Painting Parties
If you own a local business like a coffee shop, cafe, brewery, boutique, gym (or even something like a chiropractic office!), hosting social events is one of the best ways to get others talking about your business.
Having a painting event at your business location can bring in so much foot traffic and new customers that the investment can pay itself back several times over. Social events for local businesses are, from what we’ve seen, one of the most effective ways a business can relate to it’s customers and market to their home town.
Get new customers in your door to experience your space
Unlike a quick purchase, party attendees spend a full 2 hours in your venue, giving them lots of time to notice the ambiance, products, services you offer, and create a positive feeling about your business!
Businesses also have an uptick in direct sales during painting events!
In addition to the host fee (or ticket sales), you can see a major increase in sales of your core offerings (e.g., drinks and appetizers at a restaurant, coffee and pastries at a bakery, or themed items at a retail store). Attendees who enjoy the experience are more likely to purchase your products/services while they are relaxed and having fun.
High-Value Social Media Content and Word-of-Mouth
Paint-and-sip parties in SoCal are inherently photo-worthy and shareable, providing free marketing. Attendees frequently take pictures of the process, their finished art, and the group enjoying the event, tagging your business in their posts (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok).
This serves as genuine, user-generated content that highlights your business as a fun, community-oriented location, which is far more trustworthy than a paid ad.
Community Engagement and Brand Association
Hosting a memorable event helps establish your business as a key community hub. A fun event like a painting party associates your brand with creativity, relaxation, and positive social interaction. By providing a unique experience, rather than just a transaction, you build deeper customer loyalty and a stronger connection with the local community.
Maximize Off-Peak/Down Time
A painting party can be strategically scheduled to utilize periods when your business is typically slow. Instead of having an empty venue on a Tuesday evening or a Sunday afternoon, you can fill your tables and generate income during these off-peak hours. This helps smooth out the revenue flow across the week and makes better use of your fixed overhead costs.

Corporate Team Building Painting Parties in Southern California
If your company in SoCal is looking for a unique way to encourage team members to collaborate, socialize, and build friendships with each other, a Company Paint Party may be just what you need.
These events inherently encourage team building and communication as colleagues collaborate and share a fun experience outside of their regular professional roles. This type of activity (rather than just a typical corporate happy hour or dinner) can lead to a more engaged and cohesive workforce, translating into better collaboration and productivity when employees head back to the office.
Remember that no prior painting experience is required, just a willingness to have fun and explore new ideas, while being guided by our talented instructor through whatever painting you feel your team would love best. We tailor the event to the needs of your company, all while making sure everyone has a wonderful time.
The best part is, for corporate bookings, we can tailor the painting to exactly your needs, at no extra charge. Our artist offers custom art inspired by a logo, building, or theme associated with your company.
Our Corporate Painting Parties…
are at your location, whether it’s a conference, your company office, a restaurant that you have booked out, or even an outdoor location at a team member’s back yard.
are designed for men and women to enjoy
must be booked 1 month in advance with a good idea of about how many will be in attendance (getting ready for your company paint and sip party takes some time to prepare for :)
We’d love to hear from you!
