CJ's Off the Square

Wedding video + photos

A historic house, a garden and an open-air pavilion, a few blocks off the square in downtown Franklin. It's an outdoor venue at heart, and the garden does a lot of the work on film. We filmed Andreina and Eric's garden ceremony here, and their hora loca turned the pavilion into a party.
