Gather the people who matter most in a private garden setting in historic downtown Franklin. From milestone birthdays and anniversaries to showers, retirement celebrations, and other meaningful gatherings, our full-service approach makes hosting feel polished, personal, and easy to enjoy.
CJ’s Off the Square is a private party venue in downtown Franklin designed for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, showers, retirement celebrations, and meaningful gatherings with family and friends.
With an experienced team supporting the details behind the scenes, you can stay focused on the people you brought together and enjoy the celebration alongside them.
Be a guest at your own party. Imagine candlelit tables under the pavilion, cocktails in the garden, and time to enjoy the people you gathered without managing the details behind the scenes.
Our full-service Celebration Package brings together the venue, planning, catering, rentals, bar service, and professional event staff needed to host a polished, personal celebration.
The Celebration Package includes:
Every element is thoughtfully coordinated so your event feels personal, polished, and easy to enjoy.
This experience is well suited for gatherings of 50 to 135 guests who want a fully private, full-service event.
If your event is a celebration of your marriage, it falls under our Wedding Package, whether the ceremony takes place here at your place of worship, at a destination wedding, or in another setting.
Weddings require a different level of planning and production support. The venue is used differently, additional spaces such as dressing rooms may be involved, and there is typically more coordination with hair and makeup artists, photographers, entertainment, florists, and other vendors, along with a more detailed timeline and event-day management.
Our Wedding Package is designed around that broader scope of service, even when the reception itself is simple or nontraditional.
