BUILD AND DECORATE YOUR
OWN UKULELE!

BUILD AND DECORATE YOUR
OWN UKULELE!

Say aloha to endless amounts of fun (inside and outside the event) when you make a working ukulele with Yaymaker! Perfect for any group or occasion, including parties and corporate events.

We'll meet at the location of your choice—whether that's online, in your office or elsewhere. Then, together, we'll walk through the entire process. We'll show you how to build your uke, customize it using acrylic paint and even teach you some chords.

It's the closest thing to a luau this side of the Pacific Ocean!

who would enjoy this experience?

If you've tried our paint and sip parties (even if you haven’t), you’ll LOVE Create a Ukulele—and not just because there’s painting involved.

Whether you're organizing a team-building event or a private party, this will surely be a winner. And you don't need a creative bone in your body to have fun. Although, if you ask us, we believe everyone has an inner creative!

FAQ’s

Fear not. There is no measuring, cutting or mathematics involved here. The instrument's body is already built, and the frets are on.

We will show you how to add the strings and saddle (which supports the strings), as well as how to tune it.

You'll only spend around 10-20mins building your ukulele. For the rest of the event, you'll paint your instrument and have fun with the people around you.

We ask for at least three weeks' notice, so we have time to ship supplies to everyone you invite. But, if you do find yourself in a pinch, simply contact our team for viable options in that timeframe.

This is the same for both virtual and in-person gatherings.

You can host your event in any number of places: your workplace, a local venue or online. The essential things to keep in mind are that it's somewhere your attendees can access. It should also be someplace there won't be any major issues if there's a paint spill.

There's no need to look into venues for corporate events per see. We can meet in restaurants, bars or any local venue that's happy to host. We even have our own directory (just note we don't have partners in every city).

You won't need any raw supplies or tools except the paintbrushes in your kit. Most of your uke is already together—we'll simply be adding the finishing touches.

Make sure you wear something comfortable that won't break your heart if it ends up with paint splashes. We will give you an apron, but we always want to be on the side of precaution.

You may want to lay out a protective tablecloth and grab some napkins, but other than that, we’ve got everything covered.

"Private event" is the term we use for a private booking, not from our public events calendar on PaintNite.com. This could be a private celebration, a corporate party or a way to woo new clients.

"Private party" is our name for pretty much any non-business event. For example, bachelorette parties, family reunions...any time you have something to celebrate (or even if you don't!).

If you're arranging a company event, our planners are like an extension of your team. You can tell them exactly what you're after, and they'll make it happen. They'll liaise with vendors, book hosts, organize supplies, logistics and more.

You can contact them any time you need to put something together. And if you plan regular events, you could be eligible for our VIP program.

A corporate event is any type of work gathering. For example, team-building events, training days, intern orientations, educational workshops, networking events or office parties.

We do! Our international events are all virtual, but we'll still ship your supplies.

Décor isn't a standard feature that comes with our services. Still, if you contact one of our event planners, they would be more than happy to assist at an extra cost.
