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! -

Alex Sent on 01/19/2025Hiring 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! -

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 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! -

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!! -

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. -

Anna Sent on 01/11/202410/10 Recommend Bonnie through Canvas Weddings!!
We worked with Bonnie for our wedding this past fall and couldn't have been happier with our experience. We opted for Canvas Weddings partial planning/wedding coordinator package, which allowed us access to Bonnie's services throughout the 3 months leading up to our big day. Bonnie was in touch, responsive, enthusiastic, and organized. She guided us step by step through important and easy-to-forget "to dos" throughout this crucial time, always prepared with talking points at our meetings. She was on top of our vendors with whom she frequently communicated, and alleviated us of the stress of assuring our plans were all set from that end. We worked together to carefully construct our wedding "day of" schedule down to every minute detail, along with contingency plans for each part. On our wedding day, Bonnie assured everything ran smoothly and on time, managing us, our wedding parties, our guests, and our vendors seamlessly. This was of utmost importance to us because we wanted to focus all our attention and energy on each other and our friends and family on our special day. Bonnie was reliable and troubleshooted any bumps in our plans throughout the day efficiently and effectively, all while remaining cool, calm, collected, and always smiling. The fact that she didn't exude any stress during these moments made us feel at ease the entire day, no matter the situation. Truly, she elevated our wedding weekend to a height we couldn't have achieved without her, and we are so grateful to have had her as a part of our team. -

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! -

Molly Sent on 11/12/2023Corinne and Canvas Weddings are truly THE BEST!!!
Corinne was truly INCREDIBLE, and we will be forever grateful to her & her team for making our dream weekend come true. When we started our wedding planning two years ago, my now-husband and I shared some amount of apprehension and dread. Thank god we found Corinne, who made the entire planning experience an absolute joy. She has a meticulous attention to detail, which we were witness to throughout the entire planning process and then saw come to life over the multiple events of our wedding weekend. Many of our guests commented on the beautiful execution of the day and how everything seemed to flow effortlessly. My husband and I were able to just fully relax and enjoy the whole weekend, since we had absolute faith that Corinne were on top of every last detail. In addition to being an extremely professional and talented planner, Corinne also has such a calming, warm, and fun demeanor, which made the countless hours of planning stress-free and actually enjoyable. I really cannot recommend Corinne more strongly for your wedding weekend.
Thank you again Corinne. We love you!!! -

Corinne and her team are absolutely incredible and amazing human beings. We met Corinne back in 2021 and knew we would be planning our wedding over the course of 2 years. She checked in periodically, helped us read through the fine print, looped us in only when needed, and executed our vision flawlessly. She answered any question no matter how big or small and always made herself available to us during the two years. When it came to the actual wedding weekend, she made it completely stress-free. She and her team executed the day of the wedding seamlessly and catered to all personalities of our families and friends with extreme professionalism. She and her team are the people you need by your side and we truly think we couldn't have had our wedding weekend without her. -

Corinne and her team are unbelievable. We were blown away by her attention to detail, eye for design, ability to keep us on track, and just generally making this process fun and stress free. I truly think Corinne is the best wedding planner in the business.
She helped us choose the perfect vendors for our vision, and managed those relationships - only bringing us in when we needed to make a decision.
I could go on and on about how amazing Corinne and her team are, but the point is that she helped us achieve our perfect wedding weekend while making us feel at ease the entire time. We love you, Corinne! -

Corinne is an absolute dream to work with. She helped us plan an intricate 3-day wedding, complete with a rehearsal dinner, spectacular wedding and a 3-year-olds birthday party on the Sunday. I am a Virgo and both my husband and I plan events for our jobs so we are very exacting and demanding and Corinne exceeded our expectations. Her attention to detail and willingness to help with any task no matter how small is admirable. She helped us with every aspect, from an overall aesthetic to helping me lace my dress corset, and never broke a sweat doing it. We could never have pulled off the wedding of our dreams without her. The best part is that Corinne does not impose her vision of a wedding on you, she gently navigates you thru thousands of decisions with ease. Plus her list of vendors were all amazing and made our lives that much easier. We highly recommend Corinne and her team. -

Katrina Sent on 01/22/2022Corinne is that absolute best!
Our wedding defintiely would not have happened without Canvas Wedding. Corinne was an absolute rock star from first starting to plan in pre-pandemic times, to navigating a covid postponement, to making sure day of everything went off without a hitch. She was so easy to bounce ideas off of during the planning process and was so intuitive in picking up on the style and vibe we were going for. She made sure that all of the little details that we definitely would have lost track of were not only taken care of, but also made sense and lined up with the aesthetic we were going for. She was also so wonderful when it came to keeping us calm and talking us off the ledge when the inevitable stress of planning a wedding got to us, and was always available for a reassuring talk when we were freaking out. And on the day of I never worried about a single thing, ever, because I knew Corinne had this. And she absolutely did. Literally from the moment I got to the venue I did not have a single stressful moment and she made that possible. Most importantly, she is a wonderful human and the absolute kindest and most generous soul. Corinne is the best there is and you definitely will have a much better time planning a wedding with her in your corner. -

Caroline Sent on 07/09/2021Best Investment Made!
Having Corinne on our wedding day was the absolute best decision we made. As a "pandemic bride and groom" it was extremely difficult to plan our wedding with confidence but Corinne made that possible. Her commitment to answering every email, call, and text illustrates how much she truly cares about her clients. We actually had a few last minute (and day of) hiccups but Corinne kept me super calm and reassured me everything would work out. Additionally, she had our back and stood by our side while we had to make tough calls. Oh, and my dress decided to break last minute, she saved the day with a sewing kit and her hidden sewing talents! Corinne is a PLEASURE to work with and will make your day unforgettable while matching the vision YOU and your significant other want. Corinne is talented, hard working, and fierce. It has been such a journey working with her and we are both sad it is now over. Thank you Corinne!!! -

John Sent on 04/03/2021Incredible experience!!
I wish we could give Corinne and her team 6 stars out of 5! Needless to say, planning a wedding throughout a pandemic was a bit stressful. With shifting regulations and our ultimate goal of making sure our small wedding could ensure our guests' safety, Corinne was an incredible partner to me and my (now) wife. She connected us with so many amazing vendors who were able to help bring our wedding vision to life. She was responsive and proactive. Not to mention she's just a joy to talk to and spend time with. If you're looking to have a wedding in New York state, we can't recommend Canvas Weddings enough. -

Corrine was the best! From the first site visit until the last vendor had gathered their things the morning after the wedding, her and her team made our wedding a flawless event! She was always accessible and willing to answer questions, provide guidance and go above and beyond to get us any and all information needed to put off such a complicated event. Job well done! -

Jason Sent on 11/11/2019An absolute dream - Corinne was exceptional!
When my beautiful wife and I decided to get married, I didn’t quite – yet – understand the huge amount of work and planning that was ahead of us.
Plain and simple, of all the decisions we made throughout the entire wedding planning process; finding, meeting and engaging the services of Corinne at Canvas Weddings was, without doubt, the best by a huge distance. From the very start, she was so lovely, organized, insightful and so, so helpful and made our own personal journey so much more achievable and amazing. In hindsight, I just do not know what we would have done without her – just in general, but especially on our wedding day itself. Her empathy, understanding and gentle behind-the-scenes work was incredible and perfect.
So, down to the brass tacks – Corinne will meet you, work with you to understand what YOU want. When you need recommendations, she will come armed with many high-quality ideas. She will take off the heavy work, the stress-inducing chasing down vendors and multiple contract reviews. She will organize you and not be annoyed if it takes you a long time to decide or get back to her amid your busy lives. She will get you discounts when you are too overawed to even think about asking!
She is also so lovely to be around – just really nice, respectful, pleasant and funny! And believe me, when you are sharing this very personal journey with someone who starts as a stranger, that is REALLY important. She became someone we trusted and knew was there when we needed her – above and beyond.
I cannot stress enough how much Tara and I would recommend her services. If she is available, book her NOW! You will not regret it for one second and you will not get such value-for-money for anything else in your wedding day planning! Thank you, Corinne – we love you!
Tara & Jason

Emily Sent on 01/07/2019The best decision we made was using Corinne (other than getting married to each other)
I would have been completely LOST without Corinne. There is absolutely no way my wedding could have been pulled off without her. There were so many moving pieces to a camp wedding from the multiple vendors, activities, decor, so many tiny nuances that Corinne juggled expertly. She made it so that my family and I could head into the wedding day stress free and enjoy the whole weekend without worrying about a thing. Corinne totally understood what was important to us, what we were looking for style wise, and had amazing ideas. I could not recommend Corinne more!! -

Corinne from the beginning was so professional and supportive. We sat down and discussed our thoughts, and she was great about setting us up for success. She, with the help of her excellent vendor list, turned our half-baked ideas into a beautiful, put-together, unforgettable day. She was flexible with our unorthodox scheduling leading up to the wedding, and during the event itself. We couldn’t have done it without her! Here is a blog post with pictures from the day: https://www.audreraephotography.com/blog/2015/10/21/mel-marshals-wedding -

Ellie Sent on 08/30/2012Corinne Van Arsdale saved me so much time, money, and stress in planning my wedding. Not only did she find me gorgeous J.Crew bridesmaids dresses at a steal of a price, she called piles of vendors for me and many of them told me later what a pleasure she was to work with. Plus, she was always a voice of calm to still the how-on-earth-do-you-give-a-party-for-two-hundred-people fears in my head. And she was right: my wedding day was my favorite day of life so far, thanks in large part to her efforts.
