Everything was so well thought out and planned immaculately. Everything from the invitations to the get away car was exactly like we dreamed and envisioned and CJ's and Amy made it happen! Our wedding was a gorgeous event and everyone had so much fun!! Thank you guys!

Everything was AMAZING!!! Amy really knew her stuff!!! She walked us through everything, from picking out invitations and china to even helping bustle my gown for dancing!!! CJ's Off the Square made our wedding day a day right out of a fairytale!! I had even forgotten my vows up in the dressing room and right before i walked down the aisle, they ran (literally) up the stairs to get them for me! CJ's Off the Square is the Only place that we will EVER recommend for formal parties now!!! Thank you, CJ's!!!
CJ's Off the Square responded with the following comments:
Thanks so much Jessica! We loved working with you and Justin and are so glad that it was everything you hoped! Our best to you both.

My wedding was absolutely PERFECT thanks to CJ's Off the Square. It was honestly more perfect than I could have ever dreamed. The food, flowers, cake, colors, decor, music, special touches... just EVERYTHING was absolutely perfect! I had no worries the day of my wedding, knowing everything was taken care of; I could simply enjoy the best day of my life and soak up every moment :) I've had many friends after the wedding tell me that it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever seen... and I have CJ's to thank for that! Every aspect of the wedding was literally perfect. I HIGHLY recommend them! :)

Thank you Cait - you were a beautiful bride and we were so happy to be a part of your wedding!

Since we live out of state and our daughter chose to have her wedding in Franklin, it could have been very difficult to plan and execute a wedding and reception. Having Amy as a wedding planner made it simple. She took care of details and also kept us on track of taking care of things we needed to do. The wedding was perfect....a beautiful, intimate ceremony, followed by a fun reception. Everything was elegant and tastefully done. The food was delicious, the DJ was fun and tasteful, and all who provided service were friendly and helpful. And our daughter said it was the best night of her life...just what she wanted.

Thank you Anne! It was such a pleasure to work with your family. We love hearing what a great experience you had!

I absolutely loved my experience at CJ's Off the Square. From the very beginning, I felt like I was in good hands and never worried about any of the details. On my wedding day, the beautiful garden and pavilion was complete with every detail we had planned with CJ's, and it literally took my breath away. CJ Dickson, Amy Parman and their kind staff were the epitome of professionalism and grace. For any bride who is considering CJ's Off the Square: Please don't hesitate! I know that they will create the best day of your life for you, just as they did for me- Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
CJ's Off the Square responded with the following comments:
Thank you Lauren! It truly was a wonderful day, and it was our pleasure to make it all you hoped and more!

I cannot even imagine trying to plan a wedding without a venue like CJ's! It was incredible to have the help of such a professional staff, especially since I had to do most of the planning from out of town. The wedding and reception went off without a hitch, and my family and I didn't have to worry about a thing. We just got to enjoy the day!
CJ's Off the Square responded with the following comments:
Thank you Ellyn! What a treat for us to be both a part of your proposal and your wedding! It was a pleasure to have you and your guests here with us, and we wish you all the best.

Absolutely incredible! Fabulous venue, fabulous staff, and an amazing night! The staff is great with planning, communication and organization. For a bride that is used to being associated with "Murphy's Law", everything went off without a hitch and I was astonished! Fantastic venue; I cannot rave about them enough! :)

Cj's does a great job communicating with you to make sure everything goes perfectly on your wedding day. They are all inclusive and a great value for the price. I planned this wedding from far away as a destination wedding and it was stress free

CJ's was the greatest choice I made while planning my wedding! Amy was wonderful, professional and always eager to help me in any way possible. I live in California so planning a wedding in Nashville was a challenge....until I found CJ's off the square! They have a wonderful group of vendors they work with that make it a one stop shop and really take the stress out of planning. Amy was full of wonderful ideas and really understood what I wanted for my wedding. The day was more than I could have ever asked for down to every last detail. I have received nothing but compliments from all of my guests. Thanks so much to the ladies of CJ's off the square for making my wedding day so memorable and stress free!
CJ's Off the Square responded with the following comments:
Thanks Chantel - it was a fantastic day!! We're so glad it was all you wanted and more - it was our pleasure!

We were looking for a place that would be flexible, professional, and make me feel comfortable planning a wedding ceremony practically by myself while my husband was deployed with the Army. We could not have made a better decision than CJ's Off the Square! They were flexible with my time schedule, professional but friendly, and made planning everything so easy! They understood exactly the style, environment, and energy we wanted for our day. Even when I moved to his duty station upon his return (5 time zones away), I did not have to worry about anything for the wedding ceremony, stress free! Amy, Ashley, and CJ helped me to stay on schedule without making me feel stressed. We would definitely suggest CJ's to anyone for the special celebration!
CJ's Off the Square responded with the following comments:
Thank you Jessie! What a fantastic time we had with you and all your guests. I'm glad we were able to make the process so smooth for you. Come back and celebrate any time!

CJ's Off The Square was amazing. All of the staff went above and beyond to make our day everything we could have imagined and more. They also had great referrals for hair and makeup, officiant, and many more. I would definitely recommend them in the future and would absolutely use them in the future for other events.

I will start off by saying I loved, loved, loved everything about having my wedding at CJ's Off the Square! I would recommend it to anyone that wants a small, outdoor wedding venue. The venue has packages that include all the vendors you need to make your wedding day perfect. As the bride, all I had to do was worry about looking great and having fun! All the vendors CJ's used were top notch and professional. The food was excellent! The flowers turned out exactly as I described and the cake was exactly as I had designed it.
CJ's Off the Square responded with the following comments:
Thanks Traci! You looked gorgeous and we loved every bit of getting to work with you!

CJ, Amy and Ashley were absolutely wonderful during my wedding process. I felt completely comfortable in their hands to rely on them to make my wedding day as beautiful as I had envisioned in my head. They executed everything perfectly and were so nice and helpful during the entire process. I could not have had a better experience and their venue is the most amazing place to have a wedding. I got more compliments on our venue choice than anything else and they arranged everything for us so I did not have to worry about a thing. Everything went so smoothly. I cannot express my complete and utter happiness that I relate to this day and everything associated with CJ's, they are one of a kind. Thank you so much, Tim and Rachel Huynh
CJ's Off the Square responded with the following comments:
Thank you Rachel - what fun we had planning your wedding together! I'm so delighted that everything was exactly as you hoped and more. Congratulations on a wonderful wedding - you were stunning!
