Chantelle and Matt’s Stuart Avenue Inn Bed & Breakfast wedding was a heartfelt and intimate celebration filled with love, laughter, and warm autumn vibes. Despite the challenges of planning during COVID-19, they embraced the moment and created a day that was truly perfect.
Chantelle and Matt chose Stuart Avenue Inn Bed & Breakfast for its cozy charm and vintage character. The venue’s welcoming atmosphere and beautiful outdoor space provided the perfect setting for their small but meaningful wedding. With an overcast sky and crisp autumn air, their wedding day felt straight out of a romantic movie.
The couple exchanged vows in an outdoor ceremony, walking down the aisle to Speechless by Dan & Shay. Instead of a traditional unity candle, they chose a unity tree ceremony, symbolizing the growth of their love and commitment.
Matt’s biggest surprise was how their single-tier cake managed to feed all their guests. Chantelle loved seeing how seamlessly their vendors worked together, creating a stress-free day.
Dinner was a standout moment for Chantelle—because they served pizza instead of a traditional meal! Their small guest list created a warm and relaxed environment, making the celebration even more special.
Their first dance to At Last by Beyoncé was a highlight, capturing the depth of their love. Matt’s favorite moment was watching Chantelle walk down the aisle, a sight he had been anticipating all day.

Despite the cold weather, the couple had a perfect backup plan, proving that flexibility is key when planning a wedding.
Matt suggests keeping the wedding small because it’s absolutely worth it. Chantelle advises not to stress over tiny details since you’ll be too busy enjoying the day to notice them.
