When I first thought about planning a wedding, I was so nervous. Thinking about the vendors, the cake, and flowers, napkins, silverware....it can be so overwhelming. However, CJ's Off the Square wipes your worries away! Being able to go in and work with a team who knows what they are doing, are professional, and care about your personal vision was the GREATEST BLESSING. Even when I had everything planned out, but in true wedding fashion things changed at the last minute, the venue and my planner were able to roll with it without me even getting notified sometimes. They truly make wedding stress...STRESS FREE. Almost 3 months after my wedding, and I am STILL GETTING COMPLIMENTS. I had an... -

Brooke Sent on 12/18/2024A Magical Wedding Experience at CJ’s Off the Square
Our wedding at CJ’s Off the Square was nothing short of a dream come true! From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were captivated by the venue’s stunning garden. It’s lush, full of life, and perfectly maintained, with hidden pockets that provide the most picturesque moments. Every corner radiates southern charm and elegance, creating a magical atmosphere that felt straight out of a storybook.
What truly made our experience extraordinary was our wedding planner, Sidney. She guided us through the entire planning process with such grace and ease, ensuring every detail reflected our vision. Sidney is an absolute delight to work with—warm, kind, and incredibly organized. She made us feel like we had a friend with... -

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. -

Allison at CJ's Off the Square did a fantastic job taking care of our special day! She really went above and beyond in every way... from organizing a timeline, planning vendors, and helping us make our vision a reality, to "first class service" on the day of our wedding. All of the ladies at CJ's made planning our wedding so much easier than it would've been without their help. We owe them a huge thanks!! And we HIGHLY recommend CJ's off the square to anyone looking for an intimate venue in the Nashville area.
Thank you!!

CJ and her gorgeous venue made our wedding day even better than I dreamed it would be. Her attention to detail is unmatched! The DJ, food, and design selections were all incredible. The venue is absolutely breathtaking, especially with the recent renovations! Would highly, highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful Tennessee garden wedding venue! -

Choosing CJ's as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have ever made! They are absolutely incredible at everything they do- From the beautiful location, the details, their process/organization, staff, food, and the vendors included/recommended... Unbelievable experience! This made our year of engagement so enjoyable, and not an ounce of wedding planning stress. Sidney, our planner, was an angel on earth and so incredible at her job! I highly recommend this venue and their people more! -

Morgan Sent on 11/29/2023The absolute best Nashville wedding venue
As soon as my partner and I were engaged, I knew I wanted to get married close to home in Williamson County. We toured other places, and had Zoom meetings with a few more, but nothing compared to the feeling we had when we walked through CJ's with our amazing coordinator Sidney. We knew that zero details would be missed. Planning a wedding while being long distance from each other AND the wedding venue could have been a disaster, but Sidney kept everything running on time, smoothly, with not a single hiccup in the whole planning process. She gave me bite size things to work on between our Zoom meetings, and always had the big picture in mind. And... -

Sidney and all of the CJs team were not only professional but extremely friendly and responsive. The venue's landscaping is stunning and the overall layout is perfect for an intimate, romantic garden wedding. Booking with CJs made the whole planning process so easy with the inclusion of most vendors in the package while also allowing you to add your own flare and style. Sidney (our CJs planner) always made us feel like a top priority, made each planning visit fun and minimally stressful, and was there day of to keep everything running smoothly and to take care of any last minute needs. We would recommend CJs to anyone looking for a garden venue. -

CJs was the perfect place for our wedding in April! The Main Street festival was the same day as our wedding and we were nervous about parking/traffic, but Brette and her team came up with a solution and it worked perfectly! We received so many compliments from family and friends about the venue, food and music. Everything was planned out so well by Brette, that on the day of the wedding, I had never felt so calm and stress free (looking back it’s weird how calm I was 😂). We feel very lucky that we were able to get married in such a beautiful, special venue! -

I cannot speak highly enough of CJ's!! It was seriously the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. They just took care of EVERYTHING. Our planner, Sidney, was a dream to work with and made sure we had the most perfect day. She was quick to respond and answered all my annoying questions. She was amazing!! I cannot thank CJ's enough for giving us the PERFECT wedding day. I know picking a venue can be so scary and overwhelming but CJ's is truly worth every single penny. Forever grateful!! -

Lauren Sent on 12/03/2022Our perfect day at CJs
We are so glad that we chose to have our reception at CJ's!! We had our ceremony at St. Philip Catholic Church and it was so nice that guests could walk over to CJ's afterwards because it is so close. We only had 6 months to plan our wedding due to schedule changes (my husband is in the army) so it was a huge relief that so many details were taken care of for us. I loved working with both Allison and Brette. Everything turned out so beautiful and was exactly how I wanted it. We got married four months ago and people are still talking about how it was the best wedding they have ever been to. -

I would give 10 stars if I could!!! It is overwhelming to reflect on what a perfect process and wedding day we had with CJ's Off the Square. We had the honor of working with both Allison and Brette who care so much professionally, but most importantly, personally. CJ's is without a doubt a very well oiled machine- their planning process is streamlined and organized. We always felt like we knew exactly what step we were on and what to-dos were coming up. This made the entire planning process stress free and easy! Brette and Allison are true experts in everything weddings! They were true consultants with us and made several amazing recommendations that elevated our whole wedding. They... -

This may be rare to hear in this industry, but I have absolutely NO complaints about my experience at CJ’s!! From day one, they made us feel so important and were so attentive to what we were looking for. I can say with confidence that I know our day wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as it did without Brette and the rest of the wonderful team at CJ’s. If you are on the fence about if you need a planner or if CJ’s is the right space for you, you will not regret choosing them! They give you so many options, explain the process, cater to your ideas, and connect you with great vendors. -

Working with CJ’s Off the Square for our wedding was a complete dream! Our planners, Allie and Brette, worked closely with us to create a wedding day that we would remember always! Their professionalism, communication, and experience was something that we appreciated so much as we were new to the wedding planning process. I felt so taken care of as a bride and their organization of every part of the planning process was beyond helpful! Our guests have not stopped talking about our wedding and the fairytale like experience of the venue. We would recommend CJ’s Off the Square as the perfect garden wedding venue in the Franklin/Nashville area! -

Miriam Sent on 10/09/2022The best possible venue
We could not have possibly asked for a better wedding venue than CJ’s! We got married in October 2021, after moving our wedding from October 2020 due to COVID. The venue is absolutely beautiful (a historic house with a beautiful garden, complete with koi pond) and in a great location (historic Downtown Franklin), but the best part is CJ herself. She is the most organized person we’ve ever met and is extremely poised and diplomatic, which is so important when planning any wedding but was especially important when planning with COVID around. She came up with creative ideas to make our guests feel comfortable, and when our guest count wound up being lower than expected, she came up with... -

Zack Sent on 10/01/2022Best day ever!
Couldn't have found a better venue to help create the best day ever!! Not only is this venue beautiful from head to toe, the inclusion of almost every vendor made planning a breeze. Sidney was our planner and she was a rockstar! She helped guide us in the planning process and made sure no stone went unturned when it came to small details that could often be overseen. She was professional, enthusiastic, and truly seemed to care about giving us the perfect wedding. CJ's will definitely be recommended by my wife and I to anyone looking for a venue in Middle Tennessee. -

Jennifer Sent on 09/21/2022Wonderful wedding
This was the second venue we looked at and then the last. Sidney was wonderful from start to finish. I was just married on Sept 3, 2022. I showed up to the bridal suite, got ready, hung out with my girls, and was escorted downstairs to get married. Every detail was taken care of without me thinking about anything that day. I could not have envisioned a better stress free day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. -

Mary Sent on 08/31/2022Brette Craig at CJ"s Off the Square
Brette Craig was a very valuable part of our lovely 50th wedding anniversary experience. First of all, she has Christian values that make her relatable to others with kindness and concern as well as desirous to complete a job in a very expert and most "appropriate to the occasion" manner possible. She was very engaged, helpful, punctual, and most professional in all aspects of our preparation. If I had a concern, she never tried to put me off until later with an answer; she was there and present in every moment we dealt with her.
Would I recommend her as a planner? Absolutely my husband and I would do so with no reservations! You simply cannot go wrong with such an experienced and dedicated lady! -

Abby Sent on 08/30/2022Fantastic!!
I couldn’t recommend CJ’s more. From the moment I booked, I didn’t have to worry about anything. My planners, Brette and Allison, were always quick to answer my questions & always worked with me to make sure I had my dream day. Brette made sure the day of our wedding went as smoothly as possible, and I’m so grateful to have had a planner like her! She brought up so many things I would have never thought to address in the planning process. I’m so glad I booked with CJ’s - the planning and service was like no other venue. The venue is beautiful and just the right size for a more intimate setting. My guests had nothing but good things to say about their experience at CJ’s as well! -

CJ's Off the Square made the whole process so simple. Sidney worked with us to help get everything right along the way and during our big day. If anything went wrong I never knew, it was a dream come true to have such effortless meetings amidst the busy planning season! -

Shalacia Sent on 08/28/2022Nothing short of amazing!!
We knew back in 2020 that CJs Off the Square was truly a hidden gem. Fast forward two years later to a summer day in July 2022, we were right. This establishment had been welcoming from the very beginning and willing to accommodate where possible. The day of our wedding was magical in every sense. We have never seen such coordination between so many parties run so smoothly. It rained after our ceremony and guest were promptly taken care of. In fact, guests are currently still raving about how amazing the customer service was from beginning to end. At the head of this was Sidney Darby, our wedding coordinator. Working with Sidney was a true joy. She always greeted... -

We lived in Franklin for years & had no idea CJ's was a venue - we're glad we found it! The venue and staff catered to our every wants and needs. Allison was our coordinator and she was an absolute lifesaver! She thought of every detail and made sure everything was seamless. Everyone who attended our wedding could not stop talking about it! Best venue no matter what your budget is! Thanks CJ's off the Square! -

CJ's is the best! Planning and hosting our son's rehearsal dinner party was absolutely stress-free thanks to Sidney who took care of us from start to finish! She was always available and just never said "no"! The venue is gorgeous, and the food was beautiful and delicious. The entire evening was delightful, and our guests are still talking about it! Thanks for the perfect memories of such a special evening! -

We were impressed with CJ's Off the Square the moment we stepped onto the property. The level of professionalism and organization sold us instantly. It was the very first venue we toured and we kept going back to it. The day of, Brette made sure that our wedding day timeline was on schedule and that everybody was where they needed to be. She had a great personality and was very welcoming to everybody who was involved with the wedding. We loved our experience at CJ's and can't recommend it enough. -
