Stunning venue. We got married in the rose garden and it looked amazing in our pictures. The only issue was a few bees (due to the hot weather they hadn’t gone away for the fall/winter season). That being said it was still perfect.

From start to finish, our experience with Canvas was a dream. We first met the team of Canvas in January of 2022 for our wedding in September 2023. Bergen swept us off our feet and won our hearts after our first phone call with her. After seeing the venue for the first time, we were completely blown away. There is no other reception space like it. During the event itself, everything flowed smoothly and was handled with ease. Truly could not say a single bad thing about them! Thank you Canvas for making our wedding dreams come true! 3
