Exchange Vows in A Garden Oasis

The magic of CJ’s Off the Square begins in its lush, romantic garden. Surrounded by the soothing sounds of cascading waterfalls and birdsong, this space sets the tone for an unforgettable ceremony. Picture exchanging vows under a wrought iron arch adorned with lush florals or framed by elegant white columns. Guests will feel welcomed and comfortable with seating like our Cross-Back or Harlin Dining Chairs, perfectly blending elegance with the garden’s natural charm.

After the ceremony, let the celebration flow seamlessly into a cocktail hour. Your guests can stroll through the garden, sipping champagne and savoring hors d’oeuvres. Enhance the ambiance with cozy lounge furniture like the Charlotte Sofa and Armchairs. Go bold with velvet Fern or Jacqueline sofas, elevated with accent rugs and tables. Consider the Gold Chelsea Marble Top Bar paired with the Charleston Bistro Table for a stylish bar setup. Or, feature the Collins Black Wood Bar and Black Bookcase for hosting a bourbon-tasting station.

Party Under the Pavilion

The pavilion at CJ’s Off the Square is the centerpiece of every celebration. This open-air structure offers a neutral, versatile space that serves as the ultimate blank canvas. It’s ideal for any style, from whimsical and romantic to modern and bold. Transform the space, starting with wood furniture. Both the Aged Oak or White Antique Dining Tables are elegant choices. Even moreso when topped with Sahara Runners in neutral and muted shades.

Alternatively, dress your tables in luxurious linens, from fresh floral prints to brilliant solid colors. Top them with elegant place settings starring beautiful china and textured chargers, like the darling Darcy and White Wash Rattan. For a splash of color, complement your place settings with vintage-inspired Amber Deco Glassware or Sage Goblets. Or, achieve a modern look with our crystal Monaco Glassware. Whether your dream aesthetic is moody and modern or bright and floral, Southern Events provides all the necessary rentals.

The pair hosted their small ceremony behind the home on a stone patio. For a backdrop, they featured a simple wooden arbor decorated with fresh flowers. Seating consisted of our elegant wood Harlin Dining Chairs with white cushions.

After they exchanged vows, they retired to a tent situated in the front yard. It was the perfect setup for the warm weather! Their layout consisted of both round and banquet dinner tables, outfitted in classic white linens. The centerpieces consisted of our Davis Glass Cylinders, paired with candles and greenery. As well as a sprinkling of votive candles.

To complement their gold and white wedding palette, we created place settings starring our Gold Medallion Glass Chargers. Along with our Austin Gold Flatware, Pure Glassware, and Kennedy White Linens. On their designated dessert table, a beautiful wedding cake stood out on our Gold Windsor Cake Stand.
