Why a Paint and Sip Is the Perfect Wedding Anniversary
A wedding anniversary paint and sip works whether the couple is hitting year five or year fifty. It replaces the formal-dinner-in-a-restaurant cliche with something actually memorable. The couple paints. The family paints. The closest friends paint. Everyone walks out with a canvas that marks the milestone, and the couple has a finished painting they can hang on the wall as a genuine keepsake rather than another restaurant booking nobody will remember in six months.
Big anniversaries like the 25th, 40th and 50th pull in the extended family, which is where the format really shines. Siblings, grown children, grandchildren, aunties and uncles, longtime friends. A sit-down dinner for that many people is a disaster of seating charts and polite small talk. A paint and sip gives everyone the same task at the same time. Painting side by side breaks down awkwardness faster than any icebreaker. The singalong moments pull the whole room together.
Paint Juicy has run private anniversary paint and sip events as surprise parties thrown by the kids, as couple-only-plus-best-friends evenings, as three-generation family afternoons and as bottomless brunch celebrations at licensed venues. The format adapts to the scale and the mood the couple wants. Whether it is a quiet 5th or a full-noise golden anniversary, the session runs at the right tempo.
If the anniversary falls close to another milestone like a milestone birthday or the couple is thinking about a vow renewal, check the related pages below for variations. Plenty of families roll multiple celebrations into a single paint and sip event and use the format to cover it all.
How Your Wedding Anniversary Paint and Sip Runs
Lock In Your Booking
Submit an enquiry with your date, guest count, preferred location and any add-ons you want included. We confirm availability, lock in your artist, send a booking summary and share everything your group needs before the day. No chasing, no guest list spreadsheets, no last-minute confusion about what is happening.
We Handle the Setup
Paint Juicy arrives early and sets up every canvas, easel, paint palette, brush kit and apron before your first guest walks in. The venue is ready to go. Tables are laid out, the playlist is running low in the background, and everything is exactly where it needs to be. You show up, your people show up, and the event starts.
The Session Runs Itself
Your artist hosts the whole event on mic, guiding every step of the painting so nobody gets lost or left behind. Singalong breaks, games and cheeky moments are woven in between paint layers so the energy never drops and nobody is left staring at a drying canvas. No painting experience needed and no pressure to be any good at it.
Take Home Your Canvas
Every guest leaves with a finished painting they actually want to hang up, plus the photos and group memories that come with it. We pack everything down once the session wraps, clear the space and leave it how we found it. The organiser does not lift a finger. That is the whole idea.
Choose the Vibe for Your Anniversary
Every anniversary paint and sip is built around a singalong theme that suits the couple. 5th anniversary leans 80s and 90s. 25th leans 70s and 80s. 40th and 50th lean 60s and 70s. We match the playlist to the years the couple has been together and the memories in the room. Custom painting briefs connected to the couple's wedding or shared places are particularly loved at anniversaries.
80s and 90s Singalong
The most requested vibe at Paint Juicy events. Big choruses, bigger hair in spirit, and a playlist that has everyone from the quiet one to the loudest one up and belting by the second song.
70s and 80s Singalong
For crews who grew up on proper pop and still know every word. Works brilliantly for 50th, 60th and 70th birthdays, and any room where half the guests used to own the albums on vinyl.
60s and 70s Singalong
For milestones where the guest of honour came up on Motown, early rock and the golden era of pop. Gentle on the vocal cords, huge on the nostalgia.
Wedding Day Painting
A custom painting of the couple's wedding photo, wedding venue, honeymoon location or a shared favourite view. Particularly meaningful for milestone anniversaries. Quoted separately on enquiry.

How Much Does a Wedding Anniversary Paint and Sip Cost?
Private wedding anniversary paint and sip bookings run on a flat rate for the first ten guests, with a simple per-person rate after that. No venue hire on top of us. No hidden charges for setup, breakdown or the host. What you see is what you pay.
First 10 Guests
Flat rate covers the full session, all equipment, full setup and pack down, and your hosted artist for the event. Minimum booking is 10 paid seats.
Each Additional Guest
Per person after your first 10. Scales simply as your group grows, whether that is 15 guests or 50. Add-ons are quoted separately.
Groups smaller than 10 are welcome to join a public paint and sip session near you instead of booking privately. Public sessions start from $59 per person. Want to give the experience as a gift? Gift cards are available here. Custom artwork incurs an additional quoted fee.
Optional Add-Ons for Your Anniversary
Mention any of these when you enquire and we will build them into your session.
Mark the Anniversary Properly
Private bookings start from 10 guests. Tell us your date, location and guest count and we will build an anniversary paint and sip the couple and their family will actually remember. Smaller group? Join a public session near you.
Enquire About a Private BookingWedding Anniversary Paint and Sip FAQs
What anniversaries are popular for a paint and sip?
Any of them. The 1st, 5th, 10th, 25th, 40th and 50th are the most common, but we have hosted every number in between. Milestone anniversaries (the ones ending in 0 or 5) tend to pull in the bigger guest lists with extended family. Smaller anniversaries are usually couples plus close friends. The format works for both.
How many guests do we need for a private anniversary?
The minimum for a private booking is 10 paid guests. Smaller groups are welcome to join a public paint and sip session across QLD, NSW and NT.
Can we have a painting of the couple's wedding?
Yes, with a custom artwork fee quoted on enquiry. Popular choices include the couple's wedding photo, wedding venue, honeymoon location, the house they built together, or a symbol meaningful to the marriage. Get in touch with the brief and we will quote it.
Can the grandchildren be part of the session?
Yes. Paint Juicy runs 12 plus sessions with a paying guardian present at all times. Multi-generational anniversaries are one of our favourite formats. Every guest, from grandchildren through to the couple themselves, has a canvas to focus on.
Do guests need painting experience?
Zero. The artist guides every step on mic. Our easy painting guides show the kind of results to expect.
Can we do a daytime session instead of evening?
Yes. Daytime anniversary sessions work brilliantly, especially for milestone anniversaries with the whole family. Bottomless brunch formats at licensed venues are also popular. Both 18 plus if alcohol is included.
Where do you run anniversary sessions?
Across Queensland, NSW and NT. On the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Bundaberg, Rockhampton, Coffs Harbour, Darwin and more.
