Outdoor Garden Wedding & Event Venue at CJ's Off the Square

I had the wonderful opportunity of touring CJ’s Off The Square in historic downtown, Franklin, Tennessee this July. Emeline, their Venue Coordinator, gave me a wonderful tour of the wedding venue, and she was very sweet and so helpful the entire time! I appreciated how conversational she was as well as how much information she told me about CJ’s Off The Square.

As we walked around the property, Emeline told me everything about the venue I wanted to know!

Bridal Suite at CJ’s Off The Square

Emeline showed me their bridal suite, and also explained to me that they have two areas for the bride and her ladies to get ready to keep the actual bridal suite neat and clean for pictures! As Nashville Wedding Photographers, I thought this was a brilliant idea, and CJ’s is the first venue to actually provide two getting ready spaces for this exact purpose!

The images below show the actual Bridal Suite for photographs! I absolutely LOVE this space, and it’s way bigger than it looks in the photographs.

Grooms Suite at CJ’s Off The Square

Next, Emeline took me downstairs to see the Grooms Suite, which is hands down a super cool man cave! It’s a PERFECT space for the guys to hangout while the ladies are getting ready upstairs! I specifically love the bar and wine options that this venue provides. They even have a mini cool with other fun drinks. What a cool perk!
