Nashville & Franklin offer an endless number of stunning event & wedding venues – from classic to unique, or grand to intimate, there’s a perfect location for whatever event or wedding you are hosting. We’re excited to feature some of our favorite local partners, starting with a gorgeous outdoor garden wedding venue that is exquisitely Southern.

CJ’s Off the Square is a gorgeous garden wedding venue located in the heart of downtown Franklin, TN. Boasting an intimate property and charming garden, we love that it’s an all-inclusive venue with sweet and historic charm that lends itself to any couple’s style while being effortlessly romantic, no matter the season.

More Than a Garden

CJ’s Off the Square is known for its magical garden but has so much more to offer. The property features a historic house, including a gorgeous bridal suite and wine cellar, and an outdoor covered event pavilion that looks over the garden.

The Event Pavilion keeps guests cool under the shade, or warm next to heaters while still being surrounded by the greenery of the garden. Plus, it allows for a convenient built-in rain plan. We also love that the entire venue boasts neutral colors, meaning it is a blank canvas for whatever classic, whimsical, or modern style couples dream up.

Intimate Setting

With space to accommodate events of up to 135 people, CJ’s Off the Square is perfect for couples looking for an intimate celebration, rich in details and full of love (the kind where you can chat with each and every one of your guests). While the garden is a romantic spot for your ceremony, it can be transformed with lounge seating for the reception, maintaining the intimate vibe throughout your event.  The historic home also offers additional space where you and your new husband or wife can escape to for a few stolen kisses.

Pet-Friendly

We love how couples are incorporating their fur-babies into their wedding celebrations and CJ’s Off the Square allows pups to join in on the fun! Dogs are allowed during the ceremony at this pet-friendly venue which is perfect seeing that they make adorable ring bearers! Learn more about including your pet in your wedding on their blog.

The team CJ’s Off the Square are there to help couples with their design, budget, and logistics to ensure your day flows beautifully while letting your personalities to really shine through.

We had the pleasure of teaming up with Twila’s Photography at the for this sweet style shoot! This design is full of demure details, inspired by the South’s summer blackberries and soft cotton. The table scape was created using our Heirloom China with our Belmont Chargers, Austin Gold Flatware, and Madison Glassware, atop our Fruitwood Farm Table, paired with our Provence Cathedral Chairs. The lovely floral centerpiece by Basil & Bergamot Flower Farm completed the lovely southern boho look. Don’t miss the feature on Two Bright Lights!
