A Wedding Venue Tour That Fits Your Schedule
Between work, family commitments, and everything else on your calendar, finding time to tour wedding venues together isn’t always easy.
That’s why we’re offering select evening tour appointments.
Rather than taking time away from work or trying to coordinate another busy weekend, you can visit CJ’s Off the Square later in the day and explore the possibilities for your wedding.
During your visit, you’ll meet with a member of our planning team, explore our historic home, garden, and pavilion, and have time to talk through your wedding vision and ask questions.
It’s the same personal, relaxed tour experience we offer during the day, with the added opportunity to see the venue in a different light.
Experience the Romance of an Evening Garden Wedding
Your wedding day is full of memorable moments, but there’s something especially beautiful about the transition from daylight to evening.
Imagine your favorite people gathered around the tables for dinner, the chandeliers glowing overhead, and the garden lit by romantic string lights. As the evening unfolds, music fills the pavilion and your guests make their way to the dance floor.
It’s an atmosphere that’s difficult to fully appreciate in photographs alone.
A Twilight Tour gives you the opportunity to experience the lighting and ambiance in person, discover how our garden and pavilion transform after sunset, and imagine celebrating your own wedding here.
Whether you envision an elegant garden reception, a lively evening of dinner and dancing, or something uniquely your own, seeing the venue in the evening can bring your wedding vision to life.
Love What You See? Come Back for a Daytime Visit
Of course, there’s another side of CJ’s Off the Square that’s just as beautiful.
During the day, our garden is filled with natural light, the historic home reveals its timeless charm, and you can see the lush greenery and architectural details that make our venue so distinctive.
If you fall in love with CJ’s during your Twilight Tour, you’re welcome to schedule a follow-up visit during daylight hours, subject to appointment availability.
It’s an opportunity to see the property from another perspective, revisit the spaces, and ask any additional questions as you consider your wedding plans.
After all, we want you to feel completely confident when choosing the setting for one of the most important days of your life.
