We would only charge an “Overtime Fee” if our instructor arrived on time for setup, but the party goes more than 15 minutes over time due to factors outside of their control, such as: A late start due to guest delays or venue readiness Guests needing more time to finish painting, despite the instructor’s pacing Venue challenges that complicate or elongate setup time The Overtime Fee is $75 per 30 minutes and will be noted in your initial quote email from Paint the Town. To avoid this fee, we recommend asking guests to arrive 30 minutes early so that they can mingle and get settled, and having your venue tables & chairs set up 1-2 hours before the event start time.
