I Want to Get Married Every Weekend at CJs

I want to get married every weekend after the experience we had at CJ's off the Square. From start to finish there was no stress and they made all our visions come to life. To anyone who thinks that an all-inclusive venue will be cookie cutter and not unique, think again because we were able to customize every aspect of our wedding. 12/10 experience.

Mother of the groom

CJs and her staff are wonderful. With the guidance of Allison Adams, our planner, and the support of the entire staff, we enjoyed an amazing day for our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding day. Every detail was perfect, the venue was decorated exactly as we planned and our guests were amazed!
