Amanda & Max Make “Minimal” Gorgeous

August 5, 2020 by cs_admin Leave a Comment

“Love in the time of COVID” has become a meme, and sadly a refrain during the spring and summer wedding season. For Amanda and Max, their June 2020 wedding plan involved making some editing and moving forward – together.

Originally, the couple hoped to include 100 of their favorite people as part of their big summer wedding party, but when the pandemic brought us all to a halt, and an effort to reschedule in August also fell through, they reframed their goal and made it happen.

Pre-Wedding Moments

Both bride and groom added some finishing touches in our dressing suites and then the bride shared a first look with her father before he escorted her down the aisle to Max.

The Ceremony

In order to stay in compliance with state regulations and health guidelines, Amanda and Max reduced their wedding party to one attendant each and kept the guest list to a minimum. They had a moving sand ceremony to signify their union. The result was intimate, sweet and without the noise and chaos that can come with a larger event. With the help of their vendors, there was an enormous amount of beauty in just 90 minutes.

Details

These two looked amazing, with Amanda in a minimal, form-fitted and stunning gown and all white floral bouquet, and Max in an elegant navy suit. The backdrop for their vows, and the aisles, held small simple bunches of rich greenery. The result was sophisticated and elegant.

Wedding photographer Brittany Cruse worked absolute magic at the venue, using furniture and positioning the couple with care and creativity.

The Future

Happily, scaling back did not mean cancelling, and we are thrilled to say that Chatham Station will be the venue for a party in June of 2021 to celebrate Amanda and Max’s first wedding anniversary. Congratulations to you both!

Liz & Asa’s Spring Wedding

February 19, 2020 by cs_admin Leave a Comment

The Couple

“We had nothing but trust and a rendering, and the venue exceeded our expectations.”

Liz and Asa were our first couple! They hired us to be the venue for their April 2019 wedding, and signed a contract no less, even though Chatham Station was still under construction. That show of faith is just one example of what makes this couple the very epitome of kindness and thoughtfulness. Their support of Cary and the surrounding area extended not only to us, but they kept their vendor choices as local as possible too.

The Ceremony

Couples who marry at Chatham Station have options, and some prefer to enter through our bay doors to an aisle indoors. Liz chose to be escorted outside to Asa and onto our patio, and it was an elegant choice for a spring wedding.

We opened several bay doors, and as the bride and attendants emerged, there was a light April breeze lifting the sheer curtains. Guests sat on benches, runway style, facing the bride and groom and the custom geometric backdrop they chose with boho-inspired florals was a perfect choice. The weather and temperatures were as if ordered specifically too.

The Reception & Details

This couple was treated not only to sunshine for their vows, it shined on them through the bay doors during the reception where they were treated to adoring toasts from their friends. They entered the reception dancing and wanted guests seated toward the smaller side of the interior so that there was plenty of room for others to dance later as well.

The flower arrangements were thoughtfully designed to fit the aesthetics of the venue, and the couple’s “memory table” with family photographs was also embellished with artful floral choices. Liz and Asa made every spot a place of inclusion and celebration.

Like other couples who are married at Chatham Station, Liz and Asa had their photographer, in this case the amazing and local Morgan Caddell, capture images of them downtown, beyond our wedding space. We encourage this as a part of showcasing your big day and taking advantage of streets scenes, historic architecture and murals.

If their faith in us is even a fraction of their faith in their love and each other, then we expect these two to have decades of anniversaries in their future. Thanks Liz and Asa for letting us host your big day!

Kat & Kyle’s Intimate Wedding

February 5, 2020 by cs_admin Leave a Comment

The Couple

Kat and Kyle are an adorable pair who tied the knot at Chatham Station just around Thanksgiving, in November of 2019. With Kyle’s Southern charm and Kat’s incredible Colombian warmth and unbridled enthusiasm, they were celebrated on a perfect day, even one that came with a little rain.

Kat’s young daughter was a big part of their day and enjoyed getting dressed up along with her mom and members of Kat’s immediate family in our dressing suite. Kat herself loves to be busy and was really struggling not to jump in to assist the Chatham staff.

The Ceremony

These two kept their ceremony intimate and very traditional. They chose to have a first touch rather than a first look. They also kept the guest list small, with only their families and closest friends.

For the ceremony, gorgeous live music was provided by a string trio, and they chose a large floral arch to anchor the space for their vows.

After the I Dos, the new family walked back down the aisle together. Kat’s daughter was thrilled to be such a special part of the ceremony and day.

The Reception

Husband and wife entered their reception through a bay door, greeted and thanked their guests and enjoyed an evening of dancing and celebrating. During the cocktail hour, the live string trio that played for the ceremony also played for mingling guests, as well as for the couple’s first dance as Mr. and Mrs Nance.

The lush floral ceremony arch was repurposed for the reception as backdrop for the sweetheart table. Kat’s younger brother acted as DJ, which she loved.

The non-traditional wedding dessert: tiered and drizzled bundt cakes!

We loved hosting their special evening. All the best to Kat, Kyle and cheers to new beginnings!
