I can't wait to paint with you! Our events are limited to prevent sardine seating. I want us to be able to RELAX and HAVE A GOOD TIME! There is a chance our events will be cancelled if there are less than 6 participants but refunds are issued very quickly and coupon codes are reinstated immediately. I've been a Paint Nite instructor since 2015, I have lead well over 1000 events so, if a painting looks challenging or intimidating, remember, you're in good hands!
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Lilac Bouquet is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Suzannah 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.
A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Suzannah is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at ALE - Amberwood Lounge & Eatery, 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.
Yes — Lilac Bouquet is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Ottawa. Everyone paints their own canvas, so there's always something to laugh about at the end. If you're planning a bachelorette party or a larger group, private events of 10+ get reserved seating and a custom experience.
Suzannah is a real local artist based in Ottawa — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 11 out of 13 guests who've painted with Suzannah say the instruction was amazing. Kimya K. said: 'Suzanna was lovely and we had a great time painting our birch trees!'
ALE - Amberwood Lounge & Eatery is a local venue in Ottawa — 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.
Yes — we have 111 upcoming events in Ottawa this month. You can view them here.
Lilac Bouquet is a spring painting — a fresh seasonal pick that captures the energy of the season.
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 Ottawa, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Lilac Bouquet 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 Suzannah. Drinks and food are ordered separately from ALE - Amberwood Lounge & Eatery — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
This event runs approximately 2 hours. Doors open at 2:00 PM — we recommend arriving 15 minutes early to get settled and order your first drink before Suzannah starts the painting.
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.
