Why This Wedding Venue Feels Iconic—Not Overdone

You don’t want trendy or overdone. You want a wedding that feels like you—elevated, thoughtful, unforgettable.

The Treasury on the Plaza isn’t just beautiful—it moves. It has presence and it holds history in its walls while still feeling modern, intentional, and alive. This stunning location was originally a grand bank from the 1920s, but has since been reimagined into one of Florida’s most breathtaking venues. Think grand columns and vaulted ceilings. And the original vault? While it’s still there, it’s now a moody, luxe cocktail bar that feels like something out of a film.

You don’t have to choose between timeless and exciting. At The Treasury, you get both.
