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.

The best wedding planner ever

Working with Corinne and her team was nothing short of amazing. We just had a very large wedding weekend in the catskills and every detail was handled with perfection by Corinne and her team. She was organized, kept us on track with budget, introduced and found amazing vendors, and most important, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very responsive to all of our needs and we never felt we were one of many weddings she was planning . She handled every aspect of our wedding including all communication with vendors, managing the budget, and even packaged the welcome bags and ordered all the supplies we needed. I can't wait to have another wedding and use her and her team again.

Canvas Weddings is the best!

Corinne was our planner for our May 2025 wedding. Back in 2021, we were a part of the bridal party for our best friends’ wedding who had the best experience with Corinne (especially in the midst of having to move their entire event from summer 2020 to summer 2021 due the pandemic). We personally witnessed how smoothly everything went and how perfect the wedding turned out for them, and so when we got engaged, we booked Corinne without considering anybody else (we even made sure she was available before pulling the trigger on locking down our date at our venue).

We only hired her for the smallest package she offers, but it still felt like we were her only clients. She swooped in to literally save the day multiple times throughout the process, and we felt like we could go to her with anything. No question was silly and she put our vision and needs first.

We wanted to curate a wedding weekend with multiple events where we could truly disconnect and spend as much time as possible with our guests, and we were able to put our phones away the second we arrived at our venue and know with confidence that every single thing would get handled. And it did perfectly with zero hiccups. It was truly the most beautiful and perfect day. We could not have imagined a better wedding, and we know that Corinne was a huge part of this.

Corinne and Bonnie are amazing. If you hire them, they will think of things you never would have thought of or anticipated and handle any problems that arise before you even know about them. Corinne also has a great working relationship with all of our vendors, from the venue staff to our photographer to our DJ, and I’m sure that’s true for most of her clients getting married in the Hudson Valley or the Catskills. You’re in great hands with Canvas Weddings!

Elopement Day 2025

First of all, we are so grateful to Corinne, her entire team, and all of the vendors involved for this incredible opportunity for the LGBTQ+ community. It just shows the incredible care and love Canvas Weddings brings to their work. We felt so cared for every step of the way. As far as planning goes, everything was timely, organized, and thoughtful without feeling rushed or forced. The venue chosen was beautiful and the Canvas team did an amazing job of making the space even more inviting. Even though it was “just us” it felt like we were surrounded by family. Each member of the team has a knack for making you feel comfortable, heard, and downright giddy. Thank you so much for the best day of our lives! So much love to you all!

Hiring Canvas Weddings Is The Best Investment We Made! 11/10

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding this past summer was working with Canvas Weddings. We were so grateful to have hired Corinne and spent the most fun and productive year and half working with her to plan our big day. Corinne and her team were so thorough, organized, professional, kind, thoughtful, prepared, communicative, and overall awesome! Corinne put us at ease and calmed our concerns, answered our questions, and advised us based on her years of Hudson Valley wedding industry experience. We were repeatedly complimented by other vendors in the industry for hiring Corinne and Canvas Weddings as our planning team. Corinne worked with us every step of the way from matching our design and aesthetic vision to our vendors, floorplans and rentals — to handling all vendor communication and budget tracking. On our wedding day, Corinne and Bonnie ran a tight ship and all of our planning and effort paid off as we experienced such a smooth, stress-free event where we were able to be present and enjoy! We cannot recommend Canvas Weddings enough and we wish Corinne could continue planning the rest of our lives for us!

Book with Canvas, Now!!

Booking with Canvas and getting to work with Annalise was the best thing that happened to us in planning our wedding. Annalise is amazing. Literally zero negative things to say. She is so very responsive, she anticipates any hiccups and solves for them before they even come up, is so experienced in not only planning and executing a wedding at a high level but also knows the ins and outs of your vendors and their needs. She gets to know her couples and is able to help create a wedding that fits THEM - nothing is or felt copy/paste.

We planned a wedding with 10-15 vendors, got ready at 2 different locations off site of reception, dealt with difficult ceremony logistics, and Annalise never broke a sweat. I don't know how she does it.

Annalise is a burst of sunshine and the queen of keeping it cool. I have a vivid memory of telling Annalise towards the end of our wedding not "if anything went wrong today, I have no idea about it" and it is so true! She made the final two weeks of planning and our wedding day completely stress free - she's that good!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving us the most special day, Annalise!!

Book immediately! A true dream team.

BOOK CANVAS WEDDINGS!!!! Seriously, the best decision we made was working with Corinne and her team. They are beyond incredible. Organized, fun, lighthearted, professional, all around 10/10. We cannot imagine the wedding planning process or the wedding weekend without them. Corinne and Bonnie made our day move so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and truly enjoy it!! We are forever grateful for the hard work and love that they poured into our wedding!

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!!

The absolute best.

Working with Corinne and Bonnie at Canvas Weddings was quite possibly the best decision we've made, outside of deciding to get married in the first place.

Corinne is a professional in every sense of the word, and so is the rest of her team. At each step of our ambitious wedding weekend plan, Corinne was there with ideas, solutions, kindness and genuine support, and working with her was truly additive to our enjoyment. Freaking out? She's there to talk you off the ledge. Stuck at a planning impasse? She's there with 3 viable options. Looking for someone to cheer you on? She's there with the right words at the right time, and a vibe that reminds you that it's all going to be great if you just keep going.

We may be biased, but it's hard to imagine someone doing this job better than Corinne and the Canvas Weddings team. We can confidently say that you won't regret your decision to work with her, and she will go to absurd lengths to make sure you're prepared, taken care of, comfortable, and ready to conquer the beautiful chaos of the occasion.

Please do yourself a favor and set up a call with Corinne as soon as possible - you can thank us later.

Amazing and such a great help!

Working with Bonnie during the months before and day of our wedding was a fantastic experience! She made the process absolutely painless and was so attentive and thoughtful right from the start. We had abstract ideas of what we wanted and Bonnie was able to make it a reality, handling all of the background details and logistics so we were able to focus on the fun parts! Being able to coordinate with Bonnie in the months leading up to our wedding was absolutely necessary and we definitely recommend working with her. She was excellent about dealing with things that we didn’t even know would be problems before they ever became problems. Bonnie made the whole process such an enjoyable experience and we knew we were in great hands from day one! Thank you Bonne (and Canvas!)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
