I will never come close to being able to describe how amazing CJ’s was for our wedding. From the moment we saw it, we fell in love with the charm and beauty of the location, not to mention the ease of the all inclusive package! I had such a specific vision for the wedding, but CJ and her team managed to bring it to life flawlessly! I was in awe of how smooth and stress free our big day was thanks to their amazing staff. It’s been two weeks and we keep saying the same thing over and over: Our wedding was perfect!

CJ’s Off the Square can accommodate 135 guests, rain or shine. We accept reservations for events from April through November. As a primarily outdoor venue, our garden and pavilion are closed from December through March, as well as during the month of July.

* Exclusive use of the entire venue * A personal wedding planner to walk you through the entire planning process and coordinate the wedding day * All of your tables, linens and chairs * Brunch, Lunch or Dinner Menu with our caterer * Wedding Cake (except in our Standard wedding package) * DJ to provide music for the ceremony and reception * Romantic string lights in the garden and pavilion

Because we work with only one couple per day, there is no change in our package price if you wish to have your wedding ceremony at your church instead of in our garden. Your planner will still help you create a seamless wedding day schedule and take care of all of your reception set up, decoration and clean up. You are also welcome to arrive early to use our dressing rooms to get ready and take pictures at CJ’s Off the Square before the ceremony.

You are welcome to provide your own invitations, flowers, and photographer. All other event services such as catering, lighting and rentals must be purchased through CJ’s Off the Square. If you have any specific requests, please speak with a planner to discuss your ideas in greater detail. We do not allow outside catering or live bands.

We are prepared for whatever the weather brings our way. We limit our capacity to ensure that your event can continue undisturbed in the event of rain. Our pavilion offers completely covered event space and our patio heaters can keep your guests warm if we encounter a cold snap.

The final cost of your event will vary based on three primary factors: day of the week, guest count, and style of event.
