Step 1 of 8

1Tell us about your celebration

Start with who you're celebrating. The form will adapt for kids, teens and adults.

Most studio celebrations are designed for up to 18 participating guests. Package minimums may apply.

3Preferred date and celebration window

Choose your preferred date first, then the closest time window. Your date is not held by submitting this form.

Booking & reservation: Celebration availability can change quickly and all bookings are handled on a first-come, first-served basis. Submitting this form does not hold a date or time. The only way to reserve and block your spot is by placing the required deposit. Until the deposit is received, the requested slot remains available to other clients.

4How customized should the project be?

You do not need to know our internal package names. Tell us the experience you want.

5Celebration flow, food and extras

Answering these now prevents the most common follow-up emails later.

Dessert is always arranged and brought in by the host.

The Boston Artistry does not provide or arrange dessert.

Available for eligible experiences other than the Base option. Finishing is complimentary and completed at the discretion of our in-house artists and designers. Please allow approximately 8 to 15 days for turnaround.

Important: The studio is not an allergy-free facility. The host is responsible for communicating known allergies and dietary restrictions and for food/dessert choices. Please tell us in advance about anything our team should be careful around so we can take reasonable precautions.

6Guest personalization

One host manages the booking for the entire celebration. The host is responsible for submitting the final guest information, communicating party details to guests, and coordinating pickup of any projects left for finishing. You can reserve before the final RSVP. Personalized projects require final information before our preparation deadline.

Final preparation: final RSVPs, participant names, initials, sizes and personalized project details are generally needed 7 to 10 days before the celebration so our artists can prepare properly.

7Guest flow and studio comfort

We'll show the most relevant guidance here based on the type and size of your celebration.

Children ages 6+: celebrations are designed to work beautifully as drop-off experiences. Parents may drop off and return at pickup, or a small number of adults may relax in our front space while the children create.

For 14 to 18 participating children/teens: please plan for a mostly drop-off celebration. We can accommodate a maximum of 4 adult spectators total. This keeps the creative space comfortable and gives the group the best flow.

Adult celebrations: everyone attending the creative portion should be counted as a participant so we can set up seating, materials and instruction properly. If you expect non-participating guests, tell us in the notes so we can confirm what the studio can comfortably accommodate.

Select your celebration type above and we'll show the studio-flow guidance that applies to your group.

Please arrive no more than 10 minutes before your scheduled start time unless arranged otherwise. For younger children who need hands-on support, one seated parent may be needed to help them participate comfortably.
