About

Canvas Weddings provides unique and artistic wedding planning services in New York's Hudson Valley and beyond. We like to think that our work on weddings is similar to an artist’s work with his paintings. In order to create his masterpiece, he must understand and appreciate his root element ---the canvas. That’s how we approach our wedding work --- we first and foremost get to know, understand and appreciate the couple --- our root element --- whose special day we are helping to create. Everything else flows from that.

We have found that the more couples treat their weddings as expressions of their unique identity as a pair, the more simple, stress-free and joyful the planning process becomes. Modern wedding planning can be a taxing and exhausting process --- in fact, some say that the average wedding consists of nearly 5,000 details! As such, we believe it is our duty to help each couple determine their unique point of view, which will, in turn, narrow the focus of the event and simplify the decision-making process.

As your coordinator, clients can rely on us for prompt communication, an organized approach, a trusted confidante and a friend whose main goal is to help them create an artful, expressive day that they can enjoy and look back on with fondness.

Founder Corinne Van Arsdale created Canvas Weddings with the notion that every couple (and every wedding) is different, which is why why we offer a wide variety of services to help you create your wedding masterpiece. We offer packages ranging from wedding weekend coordination to full-service start-to-finish planning, as well as a la carte services and hourly rate consultation sessions. Canvas Weddings also provides coordination services for surprise engagements, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, engagement parties, and more.

Canvas Wedding is the best decision you’ll make!!!

Truly words will never do Corinne & her team at Canvas Wedding justice but we shall try. This team is second to none. Dedicated to detail, supportive, the vision we needed when trying to put together a design when that’s not exactly our forte & most importantly, so loving. Every meeting we had with Corinne allowed us just to take a deep breath knowing we were in the best hands. We thoroughly enjoyed the planning process with Corinne & never felt overwhelmed by any step. She is an excellent communicator, attentive to detail both big & small and overall, a joy to work with which allowed us to soak in every minute of our entire wedding weekend stress free. Our wedding day was so smooth truly because of this team. Corinne surrounds herself with the best staff (especially Bonnie!!) & vendors. Almost every vendor we worked with was ecstatic to hear Corinne was our planner which speaks for itself of how incredible she is at her job and visibly, her passion. We could go on forever. Best decision we have ever made. We absolutely LOVE Corinne times a million and miss her already!!!!

The best of the best!

We starting working with Corinne at Canvas Weddings shortly after she was recommended to us by our venue. Since the moment we started working with her, she took every bit of stress off our plate. The way Corinne takes the guesswork out of everything and the way she *very* meticulously organizes everything very much put us at ease throughout the entire process, and getting Bonnie's help along the way was a special added bonus. The entire wedding weekend was executed perfectly, every vendor Corinne recommended was amazing, and we would have been absolutely lost without her and Bonnie. Even some of our guests took note at how on top of everything they are. We truly can't recommend Canvas Weddings enough!!

Want a Heart-Led, Detail-Oriented, Creative Team to Support your Wedding? Look no further

Working with Canvas Weddings was a dream come true! My wife and I immediately felt at ease with both Bonnie & Corinne, as they "got it" — fully supporting our unique vision of a wedding and helping execute day of so we didn't need to sweat the small stuff.

One cool thing about their story is that they come from the theater project management and set production world - so you're not just getting a kick ass event planner, but someone who really knows what it takes and what's possible for a high stakes production - which weddings can often be!

We worked primarily with Bonnie leading up to our big day, who went above and beyond in every single way! She truly cared about us and played such a supportive role in this rite of passage. We really appreciated her emphasize on finding the joy in the wedding planning, which can sometimes feel tedious. Canvas Weddings had many helpful resources, from check lists and reviewing contracts to "misc stuff" they brought to the wedding. We could say 10 million more things, but to summarize, we can't imagine our wedding with Canvas Weddings and would recommend 10/10!
