HENS PARTY? BIRTHDAY? TEAM BUILDING?

We love a good hens party, birthday, engagement, team building session, wedding and just about any event you could think to host. Beyond the occasion, we love customising our paint and sip services to suit a theme or to match a guest of honour’s personality.

YOU PICK THE SPACE, WE BRING THE PAINT

Putting your hand up to plan an event, or being lumped with the responsibility, can be exciting and overwhelming! When you reach out to us, you’ll feel an immediate sense of relief as we guide you towards an event that your guests will talk about for years to come. We get excited and inspired about every new event that we facilitate, and we can’t wait to help you bring your creative vision to life.

OUR PACKAGES

Classic paint and sip

(with a Platter and Palette twist, of course!)

If you’re planning a paint and sip event, then our classic package is probably what you have in mind! We set up the space, everyone paints their own artwork and takes home their masterpiece. Keep reading for more info.

KEY FEATURES

Everyone creates their own individual artwork

An artist guides you every step of the way

You give us a brief, and we'll design a unique artwork

MORE DETAILS

We can transform almost any space into your very own pop up studio. If you’re not hosting in your own space, we can help you to find an awesome public venue to work with.
The price per person starts at $78 and depends on the details of your event. Please use the enquiry form here so that we can contact you to provide an accurate quote.
Our classic package can be tailored for any occasion. We have had the pleasure of hosting painting events for hens and bucks parties, engagement parties, weddings and birthdays. The possibilities are endless.
We love seeing the reactions of staff participating in a team building paint and sip session. There is always some hesitation at first, as everyone doubts their ability. Throughout the event, these doubts turn to laughter and pleasant surprise as everyone exceeds their own expectations. Socialisation and collaboration occur naturally, as everyone tackles the same instructions simultaneously.
We can cater for a minimum of 10 guests (or equivalent spend) and a maximum of 30 guests.
Apart from a few exceptions*, we bring everything that is needed to transform your space into a welcoming paint studio. We have hosted events at dozens of hospitality venues in Albury/Wodonga, as well as community halls, office spaces, homes and outdoor areas
*We are unable to provide chairs, and are limited as to the number of tables we can provide.
Your guests aren’t on their own! They’ll get simple and effective instructions from an experienced artist. Our artist will guide you every step of the way to make sure every guest walks away surprised by their own creative ability.
You won’t have to choose from a small handful of cookie cutter designs. We let every host choose the artwork brief for their event, and we’ll create a unique design. If that kind of decision making overwhelms you though, you can get ideas from our gallery of past event artworks right here.

giant custom pbn

PBN = Paint by Number!

Our giant paint by number package is the perfect alternative to our classic paint and sip package. It gives everyone the freedom to participate as much or as little as they like and it doubles as a gift for the guest of honour if there is one.

KEY FEATURES

Everyone can come and go from the easel

The perfect activity to compliment your event

A cost effective option for groups of any size

MORE DETAILS

We work with you to convert a special image to a giant custom paint by number image. It gets printed on canvas as an outline, labelled with up to 24 numbers. We then mix up those colours by hand to make sure they’re the perfect match.
We come to your venue before your event and setup a large easel, clip the canvas image to a large board and then lay out everything you need on a decorated table. There is an image above which shows an example of the setup.
The paint by number outline image is printed to be 60cm x 90cm. There is then a blank 15cm border around the image on the piece of canvas. This allows you to frame or mount the finished artwork if you wish to do so.
The price of one paint by number station starts at $490. Once you use the enquiry form here to tell us a little more about what you’re after, we will provide you with a more accurate price.
Our paint by number artworks can be enjoyed by any number of people. If you have a larger group, you may wish to have more than one paint by number station at your event.
We’re fully mobile. You tell us the location and we’ll come to you with everything that you need to enjoy painting a giant paint by number!
The guest of honour gets to keep the artwork as a unique keepsake. If it’s not quite finished then we also bundle up the leftover paint for them, and they can finish it at home whenever they like.
A giant paint by number artwork can usually be finished in 4 hours if there are always a couple of people working on it. If you don’t get it finished, we will pack up the station but package up the paint for you so that it can be finished another time.
For more information, enquire about an event here, or read our Frequently Asked Questions here.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

private events

Please use the enquiry form here to reach out to us about a private painting event. The form itself will inform you about our availability, so that you don’t have to reach out separately about that.

Please note that nothing is locked in as a result of your enquiry, and we will reach out to you as soon as possible after we receive it.

We are a 100% mobile business. This gives us the flexibility to help you with hosting a painting event in your own space, or at another local space that you book for the occasion.

Our enquiry form here will prompt you to tell us about your chosen venue (or the venue you have in mind) so that we can let you know straight away if it’s suitable for an event. We have hosted events in dozens of locations, so we can make most spaces work!

No. We only offer private event bookings on limited Saturdays. We are a small family run business with limited availability and we take pride in hosting premium events. As a result, we have embraced a ‘quality over quantity’ approach.

When you enquire using this form, you will see a drop down list of available Saturdays.

We currently offer 2 different packages for private events; our classic paint and sip package, and our giant custom paint by number package. Head to our packages section here to find out more.

We do not offer private events for kids. However, our DIY Acrylic Artwork Packs are perfect for kids around the ages of 10 or 11 and up. As long as they can sit for a couple of hours (coming and going for snacks, of course) and follow the written instructions, they’ll love it!

If they’re too young for that option, we highly recommend heading to your local Mont Marte art supplies stockist and grabbing some canvases, brushes and paints and then setting up a Youtube Kids art tutorial for them to follow along with.

We can certainly come to you. Our ability to travel depends on a few factors. If you’d like us to help you with an event outside of the immediate Albury/Wodonga area, please complete the enquiry form here so that we can discuss options with you. Your enquiry is obligation free and does not commit you or us to a booking.

Yes, yes, a million times yes!
We know that EVERYONE can find the fun and relaxation in painting, especially when it’s done with family and friends. Even if you have ZERO painting experience, and don’t consider yourself very ‘arty’, you’ll be surprised by how much you enjoy an experience like this.

We have the transport facilities to provide up to 4 trestle tables if you need them. Unfortunately we are unable to provide chairs due to limited van space. Everything else that we provide depends on the package that you choose. Head to our packages section here to check out the different options. 

INVOICES, REFUNDS AND GIFT CARDS

Unless you request one sooner, you will be issued an invoice 4 business days before your event.

Once our invoice is issued, it cannot be amended or reduced and once it is paid, the full amount is non-refundable.

If you have booked a giant paint by number package, you may be invoiced in 2 instalments, but this will be communicated to you.
We assess the need for a deposit on a case-by-case basis. Typically, if we receive no further enquiries for the date that you have booked, then we would not require a deposit. If we receive a lot of interest in your event date then we will kindly ask for a non-refundable deposit to secure the booking.

If you have been asked to pay a deposit, then that deposit is non-refundable. 

If you have not been asked to pay a deposit then you may cancel your event at anytime without penalty, up until you are issued an invoice.

Once you have been issued an invoice, that amount is due and payable and changes cannot be made. For example, if you are issued an invoice for a classic paint and sip event for 20 people 7 days before your event, we cannot reduce the amount payable if your number decreases after that point in time. This is to protect the financial viability of our small locally owned business.

We are not currently offering new gift cards. If you have an existing gift card, it can be used to purchase our DIY Acrylic Artwork Packs, or the value can be put towards hosting your own private painting event.

If you have an existing gift card, then you would have received an email from us in November 2024 answering any questions that you may have. If not, please call us on 0458 643 167 or email info@platterandpalette.com.au to discuss.

MURALS

Our artist, Breanne, has experience painting murals inside and outdoors. Murals with a maximum height that can be reached with a step ladder do not cost as much as those that need to be completed using an elevated work platform (ie scissor lift).

We love a challenge and don’t constrain ourselves within a set style. We predominantly use brushes and commercial acrylic paint to create a masterpiece that is designed through consultation with clients. The enquiry process is obligation free so if you’re curious, there’s no harm in reaching out here or calling 0458643167

Every mural project requires a custom quote. We consider many factors when providing a mural quote such as size, accessibility, design, colour range, safety and timeframe. Use our enquiry form here for an obligation-free quote.

MURALS

You’ve been dreaming of converting a blank, boring wall into a masterpiece. We will take that dream and turn it into a work of art that makes passers-by stop and stare.

From interior walls that need love to ambitious outdoor transformations, we’re passionate about all of it!

We will work with you to determine the brief for the project. Once you have accepted our quote and paid a deposit, we will get to work on a custom design sketch and colour palette for your approval. When you’re happy with the details we’ll lock in a date and get to work!

The cost of a mural depends on its size and location, as well as how much detail and how many colours it is made up of. We can’t make any guarantees about the life span of an outdoor mural, but we use high quality exterior paint so that it will hopefully last for many years.

Bringing your mural ideas to life really is a dream come true to us, and we can’t wait to get started.

To find out more, submit an enquiry here, or call 0458 643 167.

ABOUT US

We are a small family-run business that started right here in Albury/Wodonga.

The ‘we’ referred to here is Breanne and Paul Erik Kovacs. In a nutshell: high school sweethearts, proud parents, lovers of the region, always creating and nuts about old Volkswagens.

In 2019 we were looking for a creative side hustle. Painting and other visual arts are often dismissed as a hobby because most people think they’re not creative and have no natural talent. The truth is, anyone can enjoy the practice of painting, because it’s much easier than everyone assumes, natural talent is completely unnecessary AND it’s not about the finished piece. As we always like to say… you don’t sing along to music in the shower, car or at the pub because you think you’re the next Beyonce. You do it because it’s fun and relaxing, and that’s how painting can be too!

With this philosophy in mind, we set out to start a ‘paint and sip-esque’ business that involved collaboration with other businesses and offering something that wasn’t yet widely available locally.

Over the past handful of years we have helped our amazing customers host hundreds of events and never get tired of hearing ‘I can’t believe I painted that’, ‘what a great idea for an event’ and ‘we had so much fun!’.

Thanks for reading, we can’t wait to meet you!
