Eric & Erika

February 22, 2023 by Chatham Station

They found each other on a phone dating app and soon realized that, beyond the similarities of the names, they were united by a love of food (tacos came first!), then music, great coffee and conversation. When it came to the I Dos, we were happy that they chose Chatham Station and loved hosting them.

Preparation

The Ceremony

The couple said their vows on our patio in front of a lovely custom triangle adorned with coordinating flowers that matched their rustic orange, golden beige, forest green and deep burgundy color palette. The setting was gorgeous and the ceremony touching. Two chairs remained open for Erika’s late father and brother, and the tiny photo frames in Erika’s bouquet were also tributes to these lost loved ones.

Details & Reception

Erika and Eric planned a bohemian wedding with modern touches and wanted to make sure that there was plenty of great music, great food and a sense of intention. Elements were customized including decor, cocktails, the entire menu, each song, all of it. Erika has roots in the Philippines and Eric’s are in Colombia, so the couple included veil, cord, coins, and a unity candle lighting during the ceremony, which were both Filipino & Colombian traditional elements. They also included “La Hora Loca,” which originated in Latin America, as part of their reception. “La Hora Loca” means “crazy hour” because it keeps the party fun, energized, and gives guests time to dance and party through the reception. They provided hats, flower crowns, flashing sunglasses, inflated balloons, and glow sticks for this festivity.

Eric: “The crazy hour was such a wonderful time as everyone filled the dance floor with DJ Q Focus on the turntables hyping the reception crowd.” It was indeed a party. The bride changed her gown and the couple danced the night away.

A sparkler send-off at Chatham Station always looks amazing! Congratulations to these two wonderful people!

Rebecca & Ryan

February 9, 2023 by Chatham Station

Just over a year ago in January of 2022, Rebecca  and Ryan said their I Dos. These two are amazing. Both are physical therapists in the Triad and they worked, caring for others at all hours, and during the worst of the pandemic. We were thrilled to be the place for them to join together and make it official.

For their day, the weather was cooperative – even for January – so guests were able to enjoy our patio, as well as indoor spaces during the ceremony and reception. Rebecca and Ryan were visibly joyful before, during and after their vows and loved seeing how each part of their big day transpired. We love it when the air is full of expectation, then excitement and then celebration. 

Rebecca’s gown was spectacular. It showcased layers and layers of floral lace from the bodice down through to a full skirt. She donned a pearl necklace that her father had given her mother when they first started dating. Her mom also had a handkerchief made to hold around the wedding bouquet, and it showed the wedding dates of her parents, Ryan’s parents, the couple’s own wedding date.

The Ceremony

They chose to do a first touch and read each other letters, instead of a first look and it was worth it. When Ryan saw Rebecca coming down the aisle in the afternoon sunlight, it was magic. The filmy sheer curtains, the gold hoop draped with white flowers, along with the burgundy and blue wedding party made for a pretty glorious picture. They used our neighboring florist, Cary Florist, who absolutely delivered with wintry white florals and deep green foliage.

Their original wedding photographer had a baby the day before their wedding, but they had arranged a back-up and the images are lovely! Rebecca and Ryan stole away to several local places for urban photo backdrops, which fit beautifully with their photographer’s style.  

The Reception & Party

The couple shared a beautiful first dance at sunset, and then proceeded to enjoy the more fun and traditional elements of a reception. They were also thrilled with Willis J Entertainment, who kept the party going till the sun was completely gone.

They also shared a private, last dance before their big send off. Rebecca: “I encourage all couples to do that. It’s more relaxed and intimate than the first dance with everyone watching, and it gives you a moment to slow down the night.”

The newlyweds and Chatham Station are happy to share the vendor list!

Lauren & Danny’s Wedding

January 19, 2023 by Chatham Station

Lauren and Daniel – Danny – were married on Chatham Station’s patio during Memorial Day weekend in 2022, and theirs was such a warm affair. They wanted it to be simple, but elegant, and with perfect weather, and wonderful vendors, their vision was realized. We loved hosting these two and their family and friends.

Time to Get Ready

The couple and their attendants got ready on site and then posed for pictures around our venue.

A First Touch

These two kept it more traditional and instead of a first look, decided on a first touch, where they held hand and read each other letters.

A First Look with Dad

After a sweet first touch as husband and wife to be, Lauren had a first look with her father. She presented him with a special tie that held a picture of them on the back. It was such a tender and fun moment.

The Ceremony

Lauren and Danny, and their photographer J. Longo, captured wonderful images around Chatham Station, near the pretty wooded area around the railroad tracks, and at Page Walker Hotel while their guests enjoyed cocktails on this gorgeous May afternoon.

The Details

The couple wanted their wedding and party to have a timeless feel, with lots of rustic, natural and tasteful details. They accomplished this with minimal florals, simple linens, candles and textures and a paired down bar. The cocktails were kept simple and fun, with a selection of wine, beer, two types of margaritas and a perfect old fashioned.

The Party & Last Dance

After making their entrance through our bay doors from the sunlit patio into the hall, the bride and groom each danced with their parents, enjoyed mingling with guests, dancing to DJ Ones’ mixes, eating cake and being celebrated!

As guests prepared for the couple’s sparkler send-off, Lauren and Danny shared one last private dance underneath the chandeliers.

Congratulations!

The newlyweds and Chatham Station are happy to share the vendor list.

Daniela and Zane

December 21, 2022 by Chatham Station

Chatham Station proudly hosted the reception of Daniela and Zane. The pair were married at another location and then came to us for The Party and post-vow celebration. It was beautiful, moody and absolutely dreamy.

The couple looked incredible, with Zane in a black suit and Daniela in an absolute knockout of a ball gown. Once everyone had arrived at Chatham Station, Daniela’s father gave a blessing, friends gave toasts and the party began!

We dressed Chatham with white table linens, and black plates, napkins, and candlesticks. It was classic and elegant and complemented by the florals throughout the venue, thanks to Magnolia Blooms. This couple used our herringbone back drop – again festooned with gorgeous florals – as an anchor for the room. Their three-tiered cake was perfection. For every simple element, these two chose coordinating WOW moments elsewhere – like warm golden light to balance the white and black.

A Mariachi Band performance during the cocktail hour, and Daniela even joined in! When it was time to dance, they did. The bride and groom had first dances with their parents and then Daniela and Zane danced while their DJ played incredible music. Everyone was on the dance floor before the night was over.

Congratulations to Daniela and Zane and cheers for many, many years to come.

The newlyweds and Chatham Station are happy to share the vendor list!

Shelby & Josh

December 7, 2022 by Chatham Station

Shelby and Josh are Star Wars fans to say the least, and planned their big day for May 14, as in “May the 14th be with you.” If you know, you know, and since May 4th was a Wednesday, it was a no go. For this incredibly fun wedding, there were subtle nods to their favorite movie franchise throughout.

The couple chose not to have a first look, and instead shared their first special moment when Shelby walked down the aisle. Instead the bride got ready with mom and sister, shared a first look with her father, and a first touch with husband-to-be Josh.

The Ceremony

Shelby and Josh had their ceremony out on our patio at Chatham Station and the space was covered in by a lovely clear tent. Brides: these are helpful if weather is uncertain, but they are also beautiful when decorated well. It offered such an elegant look to the patio when draped in the market lights. The couple used our herringbone backdrop, draped with the most beautiful floral arrangements.

After the ceremony, Shelby and Josh sneaked off with photographer Danielle James to get images around downtown Cary. 

The Party

Inside Chatham Station it was bright and elegant with white linens, the sun streaming in from the bay doors and simple florals and touches. Tabletops were decorated with arrangements from Colorfields that were absolutely stunning.

Shelby and Josh’s wedding cake was perfectly elegant and simple – topped with florals and greenery. Guests were treated to an ice cream bar from Andias, with their famous (and delicious) homemade flavors and abundance of toppings.

The ice cream bar was not the only show stopper, though: the bride and her dad treated everyone to a fun father daughter dance that guests loved. The newlyweds also danced with a prop image of their dog, and played the shoe game where guests were able to learn more about their relationship in a humorous way.

For the final send-off of the pair, guests got out their light sabers and it was epic!!
Congrats Shelby and Josh! May the 14th be with you always.

The newlyweds and Chatham Station are happy to share the vendor list.

Bethany & Daniel

November 23, 2022 by Chatham Station

For their wedding in June of 2022, Bethany and Daniel came to Cary, NC from out of state and chose Chatham Station as their venue. Needless to say, we were delighted to host them. It was a small, sweet Sunday ceremony, and the weather was absolutely perfect – for gathering, for photos and for “I Dos.” Bethany wore a form fitting gown that was stunning, with plenty of lace and she even had glittering shoes to match. The couple shared their first look at Chatham, and then had plenty of time for outdoor portraits around downtown Cary, with photographer J. Hagan.

Theirs was a small, private ceremony that was followed by a reception, and they filled our modern industrial venue with a classic navy and gold palette, complete with touches of greenery. Bethany and Daniel shared their own private farm house style sweetheart table that was decorated with golden geometric candle holders, white linens and more greenery.

Along with the couple’s wedding cake – and its custom Mr. & Mrs. Kenyon topper, guests were treated to a variety of cupcakes, including chocolate with espresso, vanilla with coconut, chocolate with cookies and cream, and more. We love that these two also used Chatham Station’s herringbone back drop accessorized with gold hoops and florals for their ceremony and for portraits.

Congratulations to Bethany and Daniel and cheers to their new life together!

The newlyweds and Chatham Station are happy to share the vendor list with you.
