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!
