My friends and I came in to town from the Chapel Hill area for a bachelorette party. We organized a private party at Wine and Design to go from 5-7 pm before we went out to dinner....and then I-85 was a parking lot, and we got in to town at 4:45. The bachelorette, who didn't know where we were going since it was a surprise, was late to meet us at the hotel. We called Wine and Design in advance to let them know we were running behind, I said 15 minutes. In the end we were like, an insane 45 minutes late.
Heather at Wine and Design was as cool as a cucumber. She had a party scheduled after us at 8, but knew just how to time the pacing of walking us through our paintings so that we still finished (relatively) on time. She was just the perfect mix of encouraging us to move along and allowing for us to chit chat and socialize. She handled our timing snafu with the most amazing amount of grace and calm; we could not have asked for a better start to the evening.
Not to mention the wonderful experience we had painting- help when we needed it, great encouragement, in a beautiful studio with great windows and lighting. We all left with a great piece of art.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wine and Design Charlotte again to ANYONE planning a private party - you will not be disappointed.
