An elegant, all-inclusive welcome to your wedding weekend
Your rehearsal dinner is the first celebration of your wedding weekend, and there’s no better place to begin than historic downtown Franklin, a town that feels straight out of a Hallmark movie.
At CJ’s Off the Square, your evening begins in our historic home, just steps from Main Street and the town square. Guests can sip cocktails and catch up as they arrive, then wander into the garden for dinner under the string lights of our open-air pavilion.
Out-of-town family and friends will love exploring downtown Franklin’s shops, galleries, and warm hospitality, while you’ll love how easy it feels to host your rehearsal dinner in such a picturesque, private setting.
Our rehearsal dinner package is designed to be turnkey, with everything you need already built in. Here’s just a glimpse of what’s included:
Every element is carefully curated to make your evening seamless and memorable. For full details, sample itineraries, and menus, see our brochure on the next page.
The rehearsal dinner is more than a meal. It’s the moment your wedding weekend truly begins. It’s often the first time both families and close friends gather together, and it deserves to feel warm, thoughtful, and welcoming.
At CJ’s Off the Square, we create rehearsal dinners that set the perfect tone for the days ahead: relaxed yet elegant, filled with Southern hospitality, and designed to bring everyone closer. It’s an evening that sparks connection and builds excitement for the celebration still to come.
Your rehearsal dinner should be easy to host and a joy to attend. From custom menus and candlelit tables to seamless service, you can relax and enjoy your guests while we handle the rest.
