Odofoley & Ron

June 15, 2022 by Chatham Station

Odofoley and Ron planned a gorgeous morning wedding, and on the morning of New Year’s Eve at Chatham Station, they were wed! The decor was complete with touches of gold, black, white and rich red, but the atmosphere was magic. It was an intimate and elegant ceremony followed by brunch, where everyone celebrated this beautiful couple.

Odofoley’s gown had lace details on the bodice and sleeves, a jeweled belt, and a chiffon skirt. It was perfect for a winter wedding, and everyone kept talking about her sleeves. The wedding flowers were a collection of blooms including white roses, calla lilies and greenery, and Odofoley’s bouquet was not only exquisite, but the blooms matched the lace on her gown. The effect was lovely.

The Ceremony

The golden backdrop with cascading lights was absolutely perfect for these two on the last day of the year. Everything was awash in golden light. Even with an intimate group of attendees spread out, and everyone masked, the ceremony was everything you’d want – sweet, celebratory and heart-felt.

The Brunch Reception

For their small guest list, we divided the ceremony space from the reception space with a curtain that created a greater sense of intimacy. And these two were Covid-conscious, providing personalized masks with their names on them for each guest.

The space looked amazing as well, with a gold backdrop of cascading light, table-scapes with gold chargers, red napkins, and menus.

While this was a brunch wedding, it included all the customary traditions like a cocktail hour with passed appetizers, a lovely first dance to the song “Spend My Life with You,” and cake-cutting. It was clear that the couple was so focused on each other that it was like no one else was in the room. In addition to wedding cake the couple had a variety of fun cupcake flavors for guests to enjoy. 

Odofoley and Ron, along with photographer Martha Smith Tillery, were able to get stunning pictures in front of Town Hall and the Court House here in Cary, still decorated from the Christmas holidays. They also took advantage of one of our favorite spots: the theatre marquee! They even had their names placed for the occasion.

A Swanky Exit

Ready for 2022 as newlyweds, these two departed Chatham Station in style, and by style, we mean a Rolls Royce. Guests sent them off with cheers and mini confetti poppers. Congratulations, Odofoley and Ron! Here’s to many happy decades of marriage and days of joy.

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

Emily & Daniel

May 11, 2022 by Chatham Station

We loved hosting Emily and Daniel’s nuptials at Chatham Station on August 21, 2021. Between the palette and this adorable couple, the lighting and the fabulous photography, it was a glorious summer wedding!

Preparations

Emily’s dress was a stunner! An off the shoulder, flowing chiffon gown with partial sleeves and lace embellishments on the bodice, it was captured by the photographer and videographer prior to the ceremony. Emily also wore a mid length veil that allowed for some fabulous images as well.

Bridal portraits at the main entrance and garage doors were beautiful, and Emily was able to fit in a bunch of fun first looks starting off with her bridesmaids who where ecstatic to see her all dressed up.

Her father was next and he presented her with her “something blue,” a blue diamond bracelet. Finally, and most importantly, Emily and Daniel had a private first look that captured how thrilled they were to see each other before saying their vows. They looked like models at a photo shoot!

The Ceremony

After the flurry of preparations, first looks and photos, it was time for Emily’s father to escort her down the aisle.

The ceremony faced the fan wall with the Chatham Station herringbone backdrop draped with greenery and white flowers. Dan was moved as Emily came down the aisle even through he had previously seen her. 

Following the wedding, Emily and Dan got amazing couple photos down the street from Chatham at the cinema and a mural downtown.

The Reception & Details

The monochromatic palette contained green accents (see bridesmaids, table runners, greenery and the groomsmen’s ties), but there was also plenty of lovely evening natural light. Dan and Emily shared their first dance at sunset and enjoyed the rest of the evening talking with guests, dancing, toasting and finding little moments alone together to soak up the day.

Congratulations, Emily and Dan! We wish you nothing but health, happiness, joy and adventure ahead!

Landen & Austin

April 27, 2022 by Chatham Station

Landen and Austin were the most fun couple to work with, and not only did they know what kind of wedding and party they wanted, these two know how to have a good time. We couldn’t wait to host them at Chatham Station. They were an absolute blast to have at our venue!

The pair were married in October of 2021 and their ceremony and day held all of the gorgeous autumnal wedding colors and elements, but with this couple’s splashes of style and detail.

First Looks & Private Moments

Landen and her father shared a lovely, emotional first look before he walked her down the aisle. She also shared a quiet first moment with Austin, when the couple were able to sneak away to read their personal vows alone before the big ceremony. They laughed and teared up together.

The Ceremony

The couple said their vows facing our herringbone backdrop, flanked with whimsical flowers matching the bride’s bouquet. For the reception, Chatham looked beautiful with black table linens, candle sticks, and florals. We even included specifically placed white pumpkins to bring in another element of fall.

The bride carried a bouquet that was a freeform collaboration of colors and blooms. Her bridesmaids dresses – like each bloom – made it into her arrangement with harmony. It was clever and elegant.

After the ceremony, they took photos on the streets surrounding Chatham Station and at the train tracks and even got a fun shot with the train!

The Party & Details

The bride wore cute TOMS wedge sandals for the ceremony and photos, and later changed into white wedding themed crocks to ensure she would be comfortable to dance throughout the evening. 

The couple’s first dance, underneath the patio lights and after the sunset. made for a lovely moment.  

At the end of the evening there were touches of Halloween to celebrate this fall extravaganza, including novelty fangs that were passed out with “Fangs for Coming.” Some guests even attended the reception after donning Halloween costumes.

The last smooch of the night was during a sparkler send-off, with Landen dipping Austin for a kiss this time.

Serenity & Jeremy

April 13, 2022 by Chatham Station

Dear Wedding Fans!
Below is the final flourish: a reception one year after the original I Dos.

Serenity and Jeremy tied the knot at Chatham Station, and one year later, they returned to have the reception they wanted and deserved. These two were married in 2020, and due to the pandemic, they hosted 30 friends and family for a lovely, if not small, ceremony.

The Wedding – 2020

One upside of their small wedding was their ability to great shots of themselves outside in downtown Cary. And yes, we are back indeed!

See the entire wedding blog for Serenity and Jeremy.

The Reception – 2021

Even after a year, Serenity and Jeremy were filled with playfulness and excitement to see each other and their guests. They kept it simple and elegant with white linens, black napkins and soft greenery.

As guests arrived, the couple greeted and captured photos with them. There was such an element of celebration in everything. While this delayed reception was due to Covid, the results were big, inclusive and joyful.

The day included all the traditional celebrations, like first dances, toasts, cake cutting, and the bride’s bouquet toss. It was both a reception and a Happy Anniversary party like no other.

These two had fun during the cake cutting, putting frosting in each other’s faces. Serenity and her dad also shared a sweet moment during their father daughter dance.

During the evening, there was of course, more dancing, more toasts and even later the glowsticks came out. It was a party.

The night ended with a final song, punctuated with a sparkler exit. Serenity and Jeremy exited in a party bus!

Samantha & Jason

March 9, 2022 by Chatham Station

Engaged in April, this couple was ready and excited to be married in October of 2021. Samantha and Jason are so incredibly sweet as a couple. The connection between the two was evident and we appreciated how careful they were with their vendors, guests and each other. We LOVED hosting their big day.

As Samantha was walking to her first look with Jason, she was beaming about how excited she was to see him, and what “a good one” he was.

The couple exchanged gifts prior to the first look. Jason wrote a sweet note that brought Samantha to tears. Samantha wrote Jason a letter, and gifted him a personalized map of the United States for them to track their travels together. 

Bennett “Benny” – the couple’s dog – was part of the day, and he was able to sneak into some pictures before the ceremony. We love that he was included and brought an extra bit of joy with him.

Their wedding arbor was handmade by Jason’s father and once banked with flowers, it was a gorgeous and personal feature.

The Details

Pizza has always been involved in big moments of Samantha and Jason’s relationship, so it was important to include it on their wedding day. So, prior to the ceremony, Samantha surprised Jason with pizza for him and the wedding party to enjoy.

The wedding party was so fun and had great energy. Their photographer got wonderful shots around Chatham Station, near the tracks and beautiful images of the party after the wedding.

Samantha and Jason made it a priority to walk around the room at their reception and have personal conversations throughout the night. They also still had time to make dancing a priority and have a great time! The couple danced to “One of the Good Ones” by Gabby Barrett for their first dance.

The florals were white with touches of blue. Other elegant details included floating candle centerpieces and lantern centerpieces on the cocktail tables. 

 At the end of the ceremony the couple had a bubble send off.

Cara & Matt

February 23, 2022 by Chatham Station

Cara and Matt tied the knot in 2020 with a simple ceremony in a pasture during the height of Covid. They pulled out all of the stops and held their second, more formal ceremony in May of 2021 on the patio at Chatham Station. Both UNC grads, they planned the wedding while Matt was in grad school and Cara was finishing up her undergrad degree. This couple is so sweet and we loved hosting them and their clans on a gorgeous spring day.

Cara and her bridesmaids got ready in our dressing suites and enjoyed a little time together that they couldn’t have during their first ceremony.

Faith is a big part of the lives of these two, so they chose to have moments where that was displayed or celebrated privately. One such moment was a “first touch” before they saw each other. Cara had a first look with her father instead, which was very sweet and private as well.

The Ceremony

Cara and Matt “renewed” their vows in front of their friends and family and afterwards, a praise band played following the ceremony, another touch showing their commitment to their faith. Matt has a big, welcoming personality and the couple were genuinely excited to walk down the aisle as husband and wife for a second time.

The Details

After the ceremony, they captured great shots around Cary with their photographer Sarah Reeves.

The Reception

The soft blues and golds they chose looked elegant and fresh and blended perfectly with the brick, wood and glass we have at Chatham. The whole venue looked amazing as guests flowed inside and out. From the donut wall they had instead of a wedding cake, to the blue plates of varying sizes, to the lounge area that replaced the ceremony seating, every corner of the place shined. Cara, Matt and their guests shined too. It was a wedding fit for a magazine shoot.
