Canvas Weddings and Events

knew the ins and outs of so many of the vendors we decided to hire. She even connected with our dream photographer (who she knows well) and negotiated a price that better fit our budget, which allowed us to move forward with that photographer. Throughout the whole process she was able to capture our vision and bring it to life through details both big and small, and the wedding day felt effortlessly magical as a result. Rachel is just also a warm and wonderful person to have on your team. I had a habit of turning to my husband after every check in call with Rachel and saying, "I just love Rachel!" And it's true. She was a joy to work with, and we were a bit sad when the wedding was over to say our goodbyes with her as she had become such a big part of that chapter in our lives. Choosing Canvas will be the best decision you'll make for your wedding!

vendors, incredibly efficient, flexible, kind, and so much fun to work with. She also really embraced the cultural aspects of our wedding and took the lead on traditions she wasn't familiar with with ease and grace -- we never had a moment of doubt that something would go wrong once Cydney got involved. Though I won't miss wedding planning, I'll miss working with Cydney!

nd her creativity is incredible. She never missed a beat, and I had all my trust in her.

s not afraid to give her expert opinion when we needed it. We were so happy to have a friend help us along the way! Thank you Cyd!

is too mundane or too outrageous for her. I am so grateful that she made my sister's day so perfect.

ancé and that is a testament not only to her amazing talent but also her genuine and kind personality. From the beginning, she made me feel completely at ease and I never had to question whether even the smallest detail would get overlooked. Not only did she execute everything to perfection, she brought my vision to life and for that I am forever grateful. Cydney, from the bottom of my heart, I am beyond grateful for you and I love you so much!

ho tackles - and more importantly multi-tasks - big events. There's so many boxes to check off, things to catch, timelines to align and communication between vendors. Plus, as a first-time bride it can be hard to know all the areas to navigate. Knowing that Cydney had my back so I could ENJOY the wedding was not only the biggest relief, but the best decision we made for our wedding. I remember the weeks and days leading up and not feeling any stress - only excitement. This seemed a bit odd to me, but the credit goes to Cydney because I knew I was in good hands. She not only helped put my mind at ease for the day itself but was also incredibly helpful with questions or advice I had along the way. I couldn't be happier with my experience and am excited for future brides and grooms who get to work with her :)

e kept us on track with booking vendors and helped our vision for the day come to life. It is clear she has been doing this for a long time and is an amazing problem solver. If you are planning a wedding my one piece of advice would be to hire Canvas!

act, punctual, fun to work with, and amazing listeners! We really couldn’t have done it without them, and because of them, our wedding turned out more beautifully than we could have ever imagined. Rachel and Jami are also the kindest people and helped us feel so comfortable and supported throughout the whole planning process. I would recommend Canvas Weddings to anyone and everyone!

e knew she was the perfect planner for us and the search was over. My husband Justin and I live a very busy life, constantly traveling due to him playing in the NFL and not much time to sit down and have long conversations about the wedding which I’m sure could probably be frustrating to a planner but Cydney never skipped a beat. Any time of the day we would text or call her with a question about the wedding she was there. If we had a random 10 minutes to get on a call she never once hesitated and would drop any and everything she was doing to help talk us through it. I was very nervous about planning a huge destination wedding in Mexico while living in Arizona and just thinking about all the vendors I would have to find while making sure I got the best rates for my guests but Cydney did absolutely everything to make sure our wedding weekend was perfect and the prices were exactly where we wanted them to be. She not only came up with a vision but found every vendor for that vision and made sure it was exactly what I wanted. From the florist to the welcome bags, piñatas for every room, playing cards with our dogs face on them, custom cups with our logo, and even building an entire pergola for my 150 guests to sit under with twinkling lights for my reception (and that’s just to name a few things) she truly thought of it all and mind you she was basically translating for a year straight with everyone in Mexico which absolutely blew my mind because she doesn’t speak Spanish but somehow everyone understood her lol! When you think of what you want in a wedding planner you want someone who’s going to get things done, know you’re vision but not bombard you with 1000 questions a day, be direct in asking for all the things you need but kind at the same time, you want someone who’s going to save you money in places you didn’t even think you could save money, someone with amazing taste to help bring your wedding dreams to life but most importantly you want someone who’s going to go above and beyond for you in every single aspect of your wedding to make sure the most important day of your life is absolutely perfect and I can tell you that Cydney was THAT wedding planner.

charged by Canvas just by her negotiating skills. Highly recommended, look no further.

e about anything in the wedding industry. She was honest ad realistic when planning our timeline or reviewing vendor options. She helped make our wedding dreams a reality and I can't thank her enough for all of her support! Best wedding planner ever!

can’t count the amount of detail that turned out the way it did due to Cydney following up and being persistent with both my husband and I as well as our vendors. 10/10 recommend canvas as planners and Cydney specially because she’s just so amazing!!!!!!! Thank you Cydney!!!

a new planner. Cydney stepped right in and I knew I was in good hands. She made the months leading up to the wedding stress-free and made all my dreams come true. She was always available to chat through ideas, go through the timelines, comb through details and she always brought so much to the table and helped me get my vision right. On the wedding day, she was a rock star. My entire wedding party was in awe of how she was handling everything all day. I knew I was in good hands and in my mind the wedding day was flawless. I couldn't recommend Cydney and the entire Canvas team more. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you for all that you did for me!

amazing wedding planner.

t who was running the show on their side for my big day. Without Cydney I would’ve been extremely lost and stressed on my wedding day. Instead, I got to relax, enjoy the day, and watch her beautiful work unfold. She was detail oriented every step of the way and made sure my vision stayed intact throughout the process. Look no further, she will make your dreams come true!!

o grateful for all she did to make the wedding of my dreams. All of our guests told us it was the most spectacular wedding they’ve ever been to and it’s 100% because of Cydney. I wish I could give her 1,000 stars.

and after starting a new job and my fiance wrapping up grad school Erin was a huge help keeping everything on track leading up to our day. Utah weather is unpredictable and all day it rained on and off and I so badly wanted to have my ceremony outside, however, 30 minutes before start time I decided to move it to under a pavilion and Erin and her team made it happen! They moved all the florals and chairs and we still made our ceremony start time. The night was absolutely seamless and that is all thanks to Erin. If anything went wrong I still don't know about it because she handled everything!! Even brought her own umbrellas for all of our California guests who aren't prepared for weather. Thank you Erin and Canvas!!!

ep of the way in planning and just in general. Like many others over the past year and a half, we made the decision to push out our wedding from April 2020 to June 2021. We also went from almost 200 guests to just 15 in total! Thru all these tough moments and decisions, Rachel was there to help us through it. We cannot thank her enough! 10 out of 10 hire Canvas Weddings & Events for your special day!!

f 6+ months and kept us appraised and informed on every vendor and activity we had going on over the the 6 months. Rachel was there on our wedding day with her calming and friendly charm and wowed us. She has such an incredible personality and you could tell she truly cares about her clients. She is amazing organizer and leader & it was just so refreshing to talk to her. You will not regret working with Rachel, she is THE BEST.

impressive where I could see exactly the next steps we needed to take and what we had planned so far. She made my vision came to life! I would highly recommend her to anyone, trust me there were so many things I would have never thought of doing and now because of her I was able to have my dream wedding. Thank you so much Rachel!!

She will drop anything for you, she will put so much care into your event the day of, but really she was such a gift to guide us through the planning process leading up to our event date. There will be some stress because duh you're planning an event that involves a lot of people and dynamics, but she will make it fun, easier and take the weight off of you so that you can still enjoy the process and not feel overwhelmed. Trust me, things will come up that you never expected or planned for and she was that unbiased filter to go to when i wasn't sure what to do. She was there with compassion when i needed to cry, but was also there to be my strength and worker bee to put in the work to shift gears and get the job done. And not just get it done, but get it done the right way - she never lost sight of the vision we wanted for our wedding - even when we had to completely scratch our original wedding venue and city only 2 months out from our date. We made it happen and honestly could not have had a better wedding. She worked well with other vendors and was able to put together great people that would surround us for our event, which makes sense because she is truly a great person of character herself. I can not put enough emphasis on the value of a planner, you may be the best party planner in the world, but when it comes to your own personal event let someone else take the reigns for you. There will be times you just want to go to someone with advice or questions that will be disconnected from your close circle and give it to you straight with only you and your fiances best intentions at heart. She reminded me always that it was 'our wedding' and to make every decision based off of what me and my fiance wanted. This will be very helpful along the way, especially if you're a people pleaser and love to involve all your family and friends in everything. It may feel scary to let go of control and trust someone else with one of the most important days of your life, but do yourself a favor and allow yourself the gift of being a guest at your wedding. Cydney took so much time to get to know my fiance, now husband, and I leading up to our wedding that I felt so comfortable completely letting go on the day of. I knew she would handle it all + she did. I can honestly say that we had the BEST wedding weekend ever and we owe so much of that to Cydney. She guided us through all our wedding decision making that I had zero regrets come day of and I seriously just let go and was so present come the day of. I'm quite a Type A personality and she was able to earn my trust where I honestly could let go and enjoy myself! Not an easy job for someone haha She is so kind, but also a boss to speak up, get it done and apologize later. She is there for you as her top priority the whole way. Happy to call her our wedding planner, but now a great friend. 110% recommend her to anyone with any event they need a planner for.

er who did well under pressure and someone I could trust. After an hour on our initial phone conversation, I hired Cydney. What I imagined she was capable of doing versus what she did was nothing shy of absolute perfection (and in my mind a miracle). Her professionalism, communication, network of vendors, and hands on approach had my wedding literally almost planned within 2-3 weeks. I trusted her so much that once I gave her my wedding “vision” I told her to make any decisions independent of me that she thought was best. On the most important day of my life, Cydney executed our wedding beyond any comprehension. After I hired her, she said to me: “do not worry, do not stress, and do not think about anything else on your wedding day other than getting married.” I took her advice and I let her do her job. I never stressed, I didn’t think about much, and the day of our wedding the only thing I focused on was marrying my husband. Cydney and her team was the best money I spent on our wedding and she was the biggest asset throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. Her attention to detail, understanding, comfort, promptness, etc. is something I can’t fully express in words. She never made us feel like we were inconveniencing her with last minute and ever changing guest counts, meal changes, seating charts, etc. She simply just always understood us, was ALWAYS VERY QUICK to respond and she was so graceful in doing so. She was so much more than just a wedding planner. She was a friend, a sister, (essentially) a Maid of Honor, and when needed—sometimes a therapist. I would hire her 100 times over.

and over again!

again. Cydney helped us plan, find vendors, determine timing of the whole day down to the minute, cancel all our vendors and then do it all again when we decided on an elopement in Sedona. I tear up every time I think about how much Cydney helped us through this process. I mean it when I say that we couldn't have done this without her. Our budget was so tight for our wedding ( I am talking like well under $10,000 tight) so hiring a coordinator was a tough decision but after all was said and done, I would've paid double. She did things that she did not have to do. She literally hiked chairs and decor down to our ceremony spot and back, setup our back yard reception, setup food, picked up flowers and traveled them to Sedona. I felt so comforted knowing she was going to be there and making sure everyone was doing what they were supposed to. Trust me, you need the wedding coordinator and you need it to be Cydney.
