We had our wedding at the Church on Jefferson in April, and it was stunning! My favorite thing about the venue is the stained glass. The space is very flexible. We chose to have ou...
r ceremony in the smaller space upstairs and hold the reception downstairs, but you could do the opposite if you have a bigger wedding party. There is no designated parking lot - just free street parking. I didn’t hear any parking complaints from my 180-person reception. You are also right next to the park if you want to run over there for bride and groom pictures, or downtown Franklin with the courthouse. Taxman is the hospitality at the venue, and everything they provided was delicious. The bride and groom suites are very spacious. The bridal suite comes with three vanities with mirrors for getting ready.
The only things were the electrical capacity when the band and caterer needed power. There also aren’t many outlets. Also the interior doors between the venue space and the rest of the building did not lock.
Overall, we had a great experience at this venue. It really is beautiful and in the perfect location. Taxman hospitality is lovely to work with and provide exceptional food and drink. I would recommend this venue to anyone getting married!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for choosing the Church on Jefferson to c...
elebrate your special day! We’re thrilled to hear how much you loved the stained glass and enjoyed the flexibility of both our ceremony and reception spaces. It sounds like you made wonderful use of everything—from the park nearby for photos to our spacious bridal suite!
We also appreciate your helpful feedback about the electrical capacity and outlet availability. We’re already reviewing ways to improve power accessibility for future events to make things even smoother for bands and catering teams. Regarding the interior doors, our team has since added locking options to enhance privacy and convenience for all wedding parties.
We’re so glad to hear that your guests had a great experience and that Taxman’s food and service helped make your day extra special. Your kind words mean the world to our team. Congratulations again to you both — we wish you a lifetime of happiness together! 💍✨

We hosted our daughter's wedding at Church on Jefferson in July. The venue is beautiful and Taxman Hospitality Group was amazing to work with. The food was outstanding and Ashley...
and her crew went above and beyond with set up and service.
We did have one major issue and that was the temperature of the bridal and groom suites. It was a hot July day and the wall unit AC systems in the suites were not able to keep the rooms cool at all. Luckily Ashley was able to place an industrial fan in the room for the bride to try and stay cool. If I were to guess, it had to be over 80 degrees in the suites that day. It made getting ready with hair and makeup very difficult. Hopefully the landlord will address this issue before next year's summer weddings.

er’s wedding at the Church on Jefferson! We’re delighted to hear that you found the venue beautiful and that the Taxman Hospitality team — especially Ashley and her crew — helped make the day so special with their outstanding food and service.
We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the temperature in the bridal and groom suites during the summer heat. Your comments are very helpful, and we want you to know that this has been addressed with additional climate control thermostats in the suites and additional 5 tons of air conditioning added to ensure our wedding parties stay comfortable, even on the hottest Indiana days.
It was an honor to be part of such a meaningful celebration for your family. Thank you again for your kind words and for helping us continue to make every event even better.
Warm regards,
