Bottle & Bottega by Painting with a Twist - Park Ridge, Illinois

Ryan Urbanski

We booked a session for one of the "paint a sloth" events. They packed way too many people into their space so there was barely any room to move or paint, elbow to elbow at every table. They barely provided instruction while painting, leaving us mostly to figure it out ourselves. It was advertised like we were painting a live sloth, but the sloth wasn't there until over halfway through the event. If we hadn't been at the table right by where it was seated then we barely would have noticed it was there at all. The entire thing felt like we were being shuffled through as quick and cheaply as possible. Not worth the ticket price at all. They offered free paintings from their studio for anyone who gave a 5 star review online, just really scummy. If all that wasn't enough red flags, they seem to reply to almost every negative review saying they can't find the person on their recent guest lists.

I can't in good conscience recommend a business that tries to "buy" good reviews and does so little to make an experience enjoyable. 0/10.

The paint and meet a sloth event with Richard and sloth Stella was so much fun! Richard did an amazing job instructing us on how to draw and paint our sloth. He did such a good job that even an inexperienced artist like me is very satisfied with the outcome! Meeting Stella and her mama was so much fun too! I would definitely come back for more events!!!

Horrible customer service and unprofessional. My girlfriend and I were scheduled on 12/19/24. She became violently ill and had to be admitted to the ER before our scheduled time. She called to explain it was an emergency, but they were not willing to work with us whatsoever. To add insult to injury, the person she spoke to on the phone lied and told her it was the wrong location. This is the only location in Park Ridge. Very unprofessional business with atrocious customer service. They clearly only care about profit.

Studio was very cute and clean. Instructor Richard did an amazing job connecting with kids and keeping them engaged. We finished on time even though we took breaks for pizza and later cupcakes and presents. I loved that all my info prior to the party was under one link which was the event management link. It had event details, rsvp’s, payment info and sending invites, all under one link so everything was easy to see and manage. They answered all my questions fairly quickly by email prior to events. Fantastic experience overall!

First time attending the paint and sip event and what a wonderful experience that was. Our instructor Fawna was awesome. She was very patient and guided the class well which made it easy to follow. I had a great time and I’m definitely coming back.

I had a fantastic time at the paint and sip event last night! Fawna, our instructor, was incredibly helpful and amazing. She guided us through the painting process with ease and made the experience enjoyable for everyone. The atmosphere of the venue was very nice, adding to the overall experience. I would highly recommend this paint and sip event to all. Can’t wait to attend another session!
