Q: Can we bring our own alcohol?

Q: Why does Canvas offer a "bring our own alcohol" policy?
A: Simple. This policy allows our couples to save on a major element of their budget. Other venues and their "open bar" packages make the bulk of their profit selling you more alcohol than any human could (safely) consume. That doesn't seem right to us.

A: No. Canvas is proud of our reputation. We do not allow outside catering services.
