WHERE TO STAY

The fabulous new Harpeth Hotel is only one city block from CJ’s Off the Square. 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 small garden ceremony here at CJ’s Off the Square.

Also nearby is the newer part of Franklin known as Cool Springs. It has over 70 hotels with a range of rooms and amenities and of course the bright city lights of Nashville are only minutes away.

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.

WHAT TO DO

There is so much to see and do in Historic Franklin, TN.

If you prefer a more traditional 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.

We don’t have a minimum guest requirement so you can still have a large scale celebration with a smaller guest list – no problem!
