Wedding Planning: Historic Wakefield Barn November 2024
Set against the romantic backdrop of the Historic Wakefield Barn, Chandler and Nathaniel’s wedding was the perfect fusion of tradition and timeless beauty. With its exposed beams, expansive grounds, and Southern charm, the venue offered a warm and elegant canvas for their big day. The barn’s history and character paired seamlessly with their formal, sophisticated style. From the lush outdoor spaces to the cozy yet grand interior, Wakefield Barn provided a perfect flow for both the ceremony and reception — especially when it came time for the impressive full room flip to accommodate their large guest list.
The Couple
Chandler and Nathaniel’s love story began with a simple work introduction — one that would change everything. Sparks flew quickly, and by August 2023, they shared their first date. Less than a year later, on May 25th, 2024, Nathaniel popped the question, and the countdown to forever officially began.
From the very beginning, it was clear that their wedding wouldn’t just be about aesthetics or logistics — it would be deeply personal. Faith is a foundational part of their relationship, and they both emphasized how sacred the ceremony was to them. Every decision, from music to flowers, was made with intention and heart.

The Elegant Barn Ceremony
Held under a canopy of soft light and surrounded by those they love most, Chandler and Nathaniel’s ceremony was nothing short of moving. Live musicians added a graceful touch, creating an atmosphere that felt reverent, romantic, and deeply meaningful. Their vows reflected their shared values and commitment to building a life centered on faith, love, and intentionality. It was a ceremony filled with emotion.
The Details
When Chandler and Nathaniel do something, they do it right — and their wedding was a stunning example of that. Their vision was clear: classy, elegant, and formal with a fresh palette of blue, white, and pops of lush green. Every detail echoed that theme. Florals played a leading role in the day’s aesthetic — with a significant part of the budget dedicated to breathtaking arrangements that transformed the venue. Think classic greenery, gentle white and blue blooms, and thoughtfully styled touches that elevated every corner of the space.
With a massive guest count, the logistics were no small feat — including a full flip of the space — but everything flowed seamlessly. And let’s talk music: with an incredible live band at the helm, the reception was electric. Chandler and Nathaniel knew how important great music was to the guest experience, and they nailed it. The dance floor stayed packed all night long.
