We've been patiently waiting and quietly planning while making sure our finances were in order to be able to stay in NYC after we got married. Jeff and I are pleased to finally announce our wedding destination as well as our official wedding date!
The Fearrington Farms in Chapel Hill.
It's only 20 minutes down the road from my parents house so it will be easy for everyone to attend.
Even though the outside venue was beautiful, we decided it would be more suitable for pictures. We want an indoor area to avoid a rain plan and ruined hair. That NC humidity is a pain.
This is a view from the indoor venue, which will be exciting to decorate. All the other walls are just giant windows so it's a great outdoor feel with an indoor setting. Here is a photo from their Pinterest of another wedding in this location.
Here is our reception area at the barn.
We were greeted by swallows.. Although they were promised to be gone by October for our bird haters.
The very spacious interior of the reception venue, which again I'm very excited to decorate.
Testing out the chairs in the bridal party waiting area. I will confidently say that these chairs and floral patterns really sold it.
So, we are happy to announce that on Sunday, October 6th we will be getting married.
We will be collecting addresses very soon to send out announcements and RSVPs.
We couldn't be more thrilled with the place we have chosen! Especially when we saw a wedding being set up today and the mother of the bride stopped us and asked if we were thinking about getting married here. She gave the place 5 stars in terms of them taking care of everything perfectly and how wonderful it's been to work with them.
The place is stunning, everywhere you walk is picture perfect, and the only time you really smell cow poop is when you make a point to go find and be near the cows, so I hope everyone is able to attend.

In terms of the next steps we have to start booking odd end things like an officiant, and of course a photographer. Which brings me to the sneak peek of our next update.
We are looking to meet some new friends in NYC through Instagram. Believe it or not, I am horribly shy infront of the camera, especially for couple-y photos. It's awkward and just not us.
So, we are wanting to meet some of our favorite and inspirational NYC based instagrammers (or those who will be visiting this summer) to meet up with us, get a free breakfast/lunch/or dinner, and just get to know each other and hopefully capture us completely naturally when ever the moment strikes.
Really, let's just have a fun day of being new friends and remembering the moment.
More details soon!
But if you are an Instagrammer and already know this is something you are interested in, email me at paige.e.hogan@gmail.com.
I'd love to meet you!
Hope everyone has a lovely rest of the weekend, and if there any questions or comments about what's going on right now, don't hesitate!
xo,
Paige
PS: Happy Birthday to little cousin Sophie! 2 year old troubles now! :)
