Everything we could have wanted.

After getting engaged on November 2 and talking through potential options for what we wanted our wedding to look like, we decided on a small, intimate wedding, ideally before Christmas. After speaking with Mel and Jon, they happened to have availability that met what we were hoping for.
Given such a tight turnaround and me being in way over my head about all that needed to get done, Mel was incredibly helpful, patient, and accommodating. Communication was a breeze and they did an excellent job of taking what could be a stressful situation and smoothing it all out. On the day of the wedding they opened the doors for us early in the morning, giving us plenty of time to get everything set up.
We had a small wedding, but was still very surprised and impressed with how quickly the turnover was for opening up the space for the dance floor after the ceremony. Because we married in December, it was too cold to utilize the patio, it is a great location for a warmer weather wedding, as well as the winter wedding we had.
Though parking had potential to be difficult, Mel and Jon worked with us in reserving spots in the parking lot as best as possible. This was a major stressor for us on the front end because of the Holiday Parade happening in downtown Cary, but I was truly shocked at how much parking was available and was not a problem at all.
We highly recommend this venue.

The People make the difference

We can't say enough about what a blessing the staff at Chatham Station was for our wedding. Jon and Laney, aka Mama Murphy, are exactly the kind of people you want to trust your big day to. They're as committed to it being perfect as you are. Laney's like the mama of your wedding day. She went above and beyond for us. When we needed to readjust the seating arrangement, she said let's do it. She, and the whole staff at Chatham Station, were so flexible, so responsive and so warm. That's really the word: warm. They made you feel like you were part of their family, if only for a day. Chatham Station is a beautiful venue. It is perfect. But the thing that puts it into a whole other category is the people. If you are thinking about booking there, be like Laney, and do it.

Beautiful venue with kind, thoughtful staff

This was the perfect venue that allowed our wedding vision to come to life! Chatham Station has thoughtful, helpful staff that made us feel like we were working with people we could trust to respond to us timely and kindly when we had approximately 1000 questions for them. They know what they're doing and have worked with many vendors, so it was really easy to connect them with ours for a smooth setup. Our wedding was dreamy and filled with love, and I couldn't have pictured it anywhere else.

Beautiful venue!

We fell in love with this venue- the brick/semi-industrial vibe, the intimate yet airy space, the wall of huge roll-up windows… it is so gorgeous inside. Our wedding photos turned out beautifully, thanks in part to all the natural light that comes in. The staff at Chatham Station are very responsive and welcoming- they’re really willing to work with you on whatever you need! The bridal suite is very pretty and was perfect for my small bridal party. The groom suite had a bit less to offer in terms of a getting ready room (no counters, only one mirror, dimmer lighting) so the guys opted for getting ready at a different location. Overall, we loved getting married here!

Perfect wedding venue!

I absolutely LOVED my experience with Chatham Station. The staff is incredible, helpful, quick to respond, and willing to go above and beyond for their clients. My wedding day turned out perfectly, so many compliments from family/friends on the venue space. Multiple options for ceremony space, reception layout, and decor. Little decor is even needed because the space is so naturally industrial and elegant. Would recommend to anyone!

Golden Hour Venue

Chatham Station was an incredibly charming venue for our ~100 guest wedding. It was the perfect size, the location was very convenient, and the parking for our guests was easy. The space is beautiful even as a blank canvas, it's light and airy, there's many textured walls for great photo background, tables and chairs included, and a beautiful board for ceremony backdrop which we took advantage of. It's also highly customizable for decorations and layouts. I love that it has an outdoor patio, where we had our ceremony, and the garage doors let in TONS of natural light. The doors face west so all the afternoon and golden hour light hits right into the space - it's absolutely gorgeous for an evening wedding and reception. Todd, the owner, is super nice and responsive, and reassured us with every question we had. Especially with the construction across the street, he worked with them so that no work was done during our ceremony. He also provided us with everything we needed for parking information and the train schedule (so we could schedule the ceremony around it without interruption). I also appreciated the recommended and preferred list of vendors, it helped us find vendors we knew we could trust because the venue works with them often. We decided to go with them almost immediately following the tour and I'm so happy we did, because we would have missed out if we'd slept on it! So act fast if you're considering this venue.

Wonderful Venue

We had our wedding reception here and loved our experience! Todd is very responsive and was willing to work flexibly with my family to help ensure that the day went smoothly despite some last minute curveballs. Everybody commented on how beautiful the venue was, and the gorgeous floor to ceiling windows helped it remain well-ventilated yet cool inside. We have no regrets!
