Weddings

When Sierra and Tyler tied the knot at CJ’s Off the Square in June, their vision of an elegant garden party with a laid-back feel came to life in the most romantic way. With soft summer light, pops of pastel and watercolor-inspired florals, and a focus on meaningful moments, their celebration felt like a breath of fresh air.

Getting Ready at the Historic House

Sierra got ready in our bridal suite, where laughter and soft music filled the air. Her Justin Alexander gown from Loveliest Bridal was the perfect mix of timeless and effortless. Her bridesmaids wore floral print dresses in shades of blue, a beautiful nod to their summer palette. Hair and makeup by Beauty by K2 completed the look — fresh, natural, and perfectly suited for a garden wedding in Franklin, TN.

Tyler and his gents enjoyed a few rounds of blackjack in the wine cellar while guests arrived and took their seats in the garden, eager for the summer ceremony to begin.

Making the Most of Time With Your Wedding Party

Before the ceremony even began, Sierra and Tyler made the intentional choice to surround themselves with their favorite people. With five friends each by their side, the wedding party brought a joyful, supportive energy to the entire day. From helping each other get ready to sharing inside jokes and quiet moments throughout the celebration, it was clear this couple valued quality time with their closest friends.

Planning a wedding at CJ’s Off the Square means you don’t have to rush — you can build in time to soak in every moment with your wedding party, whether it’s a first look, a pre-ceremony toast, or just an extra few minutes to be present with the people who know you best.

An Outdoor Garden Ceremony With Southern Charm

At 5 PM, under a canopy of market lights and early summer blooms, Sierra walked down the aisle toward Tyler. With a short, heartfelt ceremony led by officiant Sullivan Smoak, they exchanged vows in front of loved ones who traveled in from Knoxville, Memphis, and Atlanta.

The ceremony was framed by florals from Cali Roots Designs, who brought the couple’s soft summer palette to life with lush arrangements in pastel peach, blush, pink, and light blue tones.

A Garden Reception

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour in the garden before dinner on the pavilion. Sierra and Tyler prioritized delicious food and a fun atmosphere — and that’s exactly what unfolded. Our all-inclusive wedding package handled the details so they could stay focused on their guests.

Reception tables were dressed with soft textures and vibrant floral runners. This created a cozy and celebratory space for dining, toasts, and dancing. The DJ from our Premier, the Entertainment Company curated a perfect mix to keep the dance floor full all night long.

A Stylish Send-Off

After cutting their tiered wedding cake by Baked in Nashville (included in their CJ’s Off the Square package), the couple made a memorable exit in a vintage getaway car from Nashville Classic Firebird — the perfect ending to a day full of joy, beauty, and heart.
