CJ's Off the Square offers two packages for couples who want to elope or host a small wedding ceremony in our romantic garden location.
Elope near Nashville in our romantic, small wedding venue with a secret garden. Everything you need for an intimate outdoor ceremony for up to 20 guests is included. Just bring the rings!
Our Small Ceremony Package includes:
$2,495 | $1,595 Venue Only (no flowers or officiant)
Sales tax applies to all package pricing
Catering services are not available with the Small Ceremony package. If you would like to celebrate with dinner after the ceremony, let us recommend one of the many wonderful restaurants within walking distance of CJ’s Off the Square.
If you prefer a more full-service wedding and reception experience but are just planning for a smaller guest list (like a micro-wedding), we invite you to consider one of our our full wedding packages which include a ceremony and reception with dinner & dancing. Visit our Weddings page to learn more about our Standard, Classic and Premier packages which start at $12,995. We don’t have a minimum guest requirement so you can still have a large scale celebration with a smaller guest list – no problem!
More information and photo galleries of our elopements, small wedding ceremonies, and vow renewals can be found here: SmallGardenWeddings.com.
A beautiful bridal bouquet and boutonniere are included in our Elegant Elopement package. If you have an idea of what you would like, please share your inspiration with us and we will be happy to create the bouquet of your dreams with a boutonniere to match.
Working with one of our preferred wedding officiants, you will personalize your ceremony according to your preferences. Not sure where to begin? Our officiants are happy to guide you through the process to create a ceremony that is unique and special.
For memorable portraits of your wedding day, we recommend the following local professional wedding photographers. Each of the photographers listed below offer special, unpublished rates exclusively for elopements and vow renewals at CJ’s Off the Square.

To be legally married in the state of Tennessee, you must obtain a marriage license no more than 30 days from the date of the wedding. You can get the license from any TN County Clerk’s office. For more information, read our blog post about getting a marriage license in Davidson (Nashville) or Williamson County (Franklin).
After the ceremony, celebrate at one of the excellent restaurants located in historic downtown Franklin, TN. Here are a few of our favorites within walking distance of CJ’s Off the Square:
And for a little slice of heaven:
The fabulous new Harpeth Hotel by Hilton is only one city block from us. It has beautiful rooms and a fantastic new restaurant which might be the perfect location to dine with your closest friends and family after your intimate and romantic garden ceremony here at CJ’s Off the Square.
Also nearby is the newer part of Franklin known as Cool Springs. It has over 60 hotels with a range of rooms and amenities and of course the bright city lights of Nashville are only 15 miles north. We also love the local charm and romance of smaller inns and B&B’s located throughout Williamson County. Check out our favorite local listings here: click here.
There is so much to see and do in Historic Franklin, TN. While the sights and sounds of Nashville draw many visitors to our neck of the woods, there is a lot to see and do right here in beautiful Williamson County. From whiskey distilleries to vineyards, civil war history to epic antiquing, it is easy to lose yourself in the slow pace of our small Southern town.
