Valerie and Ian were married in March of 2022 at Chatham Station, and we loved hosting this couple and executing their vision in our venue. The entire patio was tented, with bars both inside and out for guests during the reception. The couple’s decor choices were simple and elegant, with beautiful greenery, white blossoms and plenty of gorgeous details.

Preparations

Valerie and her bridesmaids got ready with the help of Wedded Kiss in our bridal suite. Her mom assisted and after she was ready, she had a first look with her bridesmaids. Valerie read a sweet heartfelt note to her girls thanking them for being a part of her day and sharing how much they all meant to her. It was really tender and sweet.

Valerie’s gown was unlike any we’ve seen. Made of chiffon with a sweetheart neckline, jeweled belt and ties on the shoulders, it was ethereal and feminine and completely romantic. . Paired with her veil, delicate hair piece, and pale blue shoes, she was a stunning bride.

The bridesmaids wore beautiful satin dresses. Since the couple did not have a first look, Ian and his groomsmen were able to enjoy a drink at Bond Brothers prior to the ceremony.

The Ceremony

Ian was beaming with excitement as Valerie walked down the aisle.

The couple had a live painter at the wedding. It was entertainment for the guests and created a perfect gift for the couple. The result, once finished, was dreamy.

The Party

Table numbers were labeled with special places the couple had been. It also included stories like their first date, where Ian asked Valerie to be his wife, their first home together and other special memories. The backdrop included a neon sign stating “Simply the best.” They included a farmhouse table set for two for a perfect sweetheart table!

Ian and Valerie shared a fun first dance filled with flips and flair. Later in the evening Valerie changed into a fun sparkling dress. The couple provided guests with LED wands at the end of the evening, and these were a hit.

Congratulations Valerie and Ian! Cheers to you both and to many happy decades ahead.

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

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.
