We had our wedding here and it was such a beautiful experience! The venue is absolutely stunning, especially the garden area, and we loved knowing there was a great backup plan in case of rain. Thankfully, the weather cooperated, but it gave us so much peace of mind. Communication leading up to the wedding was fantastic, and the staff accommodated everything to the best of their ability. The food was incredible—our guests couldn’t stop talking about it—and the bar service was top-notch. Our rehearsal dinner was also amazing. We chose the pizza option, and it was such a hit! There were plenty of choices, and my sister loved how there was something for each one of her kids. Most importantly, Ginny, the banquet manager, was amazing to work with. She was warm, helpful, and truly made the day run as smoothly as possible. Overall, we had such a wonderful day here and made the best memories.

The Vault was literally the perfect venue that exceeded our expectations in every way. Everyone we worked with was helpful and quick to communicate back with us. Jessica, our designated coordinator, was AMAZING - she was always available to answer my questions and even helped diffuse my wedding-day anxiety when I needed it most. I had some family drama the morning of the wedding and she was so sweet she gave me a hug and a pep talk and really made things go sooo much smoother! We felt lucky to have her as our coordinator. The venue itself was stunning, with a thoughtful layout and tons of space. I was worried about our guests feeling cramped, but with the multiple rooms and the alley they could wander, it felt perfect! I've referred multiple friends to The Holly Vault since our wedding, and I can say with full confidence that you're not just paying for a venue, but a team that genuinely cares about ensuring you have a wonderful day. Five stars across the board! (We don't have all our pics back but sharing a few, everything about the vault photographs beautifully!)
