I'm going to REALLY try to not make this review an entire novel. Cutting straight to the chase BOOK THEM! Chef John and Natasha (and entire team) were exceptional from DAY ONE! Yes the venue is gorgeous, but the people really make the place. They have several packages to book from. I loved having options. I had weekly questions lol, they answered expeditiously, detailed and were never rude (not one time). THE FOOD babyyyy; mouth watering. They provide the wedding party lunch and it's real food not just a sandwich tray. They always said "we make sure our bride and goom eat", and they kept that promise. We ate and we ate good! Our guest were also very happy! Lastly, they somehow have a way of making you feel like you are the only wedding that is going on and obviously that is not the case. Their attention to detail was exactly what we needed. This helped us check things off our box and also recall things that we may have forgotten or not thought about. Based on the excessive use of exclamation points you can tell we were very happy with The Chandelier Wedding & Event Venue. You will not regret booking your event here!

Choosing your wedding caterer is such a big decision, but Catering By Design was everything we could have hoped for! They were so accommodating to my Husband and I not even being in the same town to be able to plan everything (We did everything over the phone) and the food was absolutely delicious! We also did our Bar through Catering By Design which made it so easy and convenient to work with the same company for both the food and the drinks. We did buffet style and it was an absolute hit! Everyone was raving about the quality of the food and Danny and I couldn't agree more. They were easy to work with, and the whole experience top to bottom was so seamless. I highly recommend Catering By Design for all of your Catering needs!

A jack of all trades is the best way to describe J'lesa (Jaee) Carr Working as an event planner, nonprofit director, full time project manager, and dog mom her plate is always loaded but she never skims on quality or execution. Jaee is a 2017 graduate of UNC Greensboro with a Bachelors in Computer Science. She has a had a passion for crafting cocktails since she was able to drink. Her favorite to drink is the Miami Vice! She also loves to bring people together for an amazing experience. The most rewarding part for Jaee, is seeing couples relax and indulge on their special day.

When my wife and I were planning our wedding, we had a lot of things to stress about, but our bartenders were not one of them. Jaee was our main point of contact and she was incredibly kind and accommodating throughout the entire process. She was also very informative and transparent. You could tell she cared about making our day special rather than just getting another slot filled. On the day of, she and her colleague ( I feel really bad I can’t remember her name), were on the ball and great. They didn’t make any moves without making sure it was okay with us first and they kept the party going. Not only that but they even got us a wedding present the day of. It was completely unexpected but extremely kind. If it couldn’t get any better, Jaee even reached out a month later to wish us a happy 1 month of marriage. I would use their services for every event we have in the future. Truly amazing!

Chatham Station was the perfect venue for my husband and I. We were on the search for a venue that had an indoor/outdoor feel as well as convenient for our guests staying in downtown Cary. Chatham Station answered all of that. The venue has beautiful garage doors that we kept open throughout our wedding to keep that indoor/outdoor feel during the night. It is located in downtown Cary, which is walkable from the Mayton as well as a short Uber or drive to many hotels in the area. The venue is gorgeous on its own with its natural light and exposed brick and does not need a lot of decor or florals to make it beautiful. We had great communication and service from the owners and the staff of the venue who helped make our day perfect. I couldn’t recommend this venue enough.

Since 2022, we have provided wedding planning and coordination services for all types of different days, couples, and love stories.

More than just another vendor, we are your friends, your advocates, your shoulders to lean on. We can't wait to make your "best day ever" exactly that (and more).

Awarded Best of Zola
I honestly don't even know where to begin. Carina is hands-down one of the most thoughtful, kind, hard-working, enjoyable, and creative people I have ever met. She handled every single thing with poise and grace. Every wedding plan changes, or has hiccups but frankly I never had to feel those because Carina just handled it with such calm and supportive energy that I didn't even have time to worry about anything at all. I think one of the most unique things about Carina is how she puts her EVERYTHING into making your vision come true. She sat down and HAND-WROTE every single name card (200!!!) because I liked an idea she had. She showed up to my rehearsal dinner with a bouquet for me that she stopped and made herself just so I could have something for that night. Day of was no different, honestly it was almost sad because I knew I wouldn't get to have my fun meetings with her anymore (luckily we are now good friends so I get to do that either way!!) I recommend Carina for your wedding if you want someone to create a vision, to be kind and thoughtful, to listen and show up to every appointment and to put her entire heart into making sure your vision comes to fruition.

My now wife and I were searching for wedding photographers in our area, and Casie stood out by the way that her photos seemed to focus on the individuals and style of the weddings she photographed. We met with her and both immediately knew that she would be the perfect fit for our wedding. She had a very chill but very knowledgeable and thorough approach to planning out the photography for our wedding. She really made the planning process stress-free. For the wedding itself, we absolutely loved all of the photos that she took, and she was a great, positive presence at the wedding. We still regularly go through all of the photos and find new ones that we love and didn't notice earlier because there are so many amazing photos that she took. I would recommend Casie to anyone for wedding photos or any photos, but her work/art does speak for itself.
