“We recently celebrated our wedding at The Treasury Ballroom on October 3rd, 2025, and even though I work at this facility, there was never a question in my mind — no other venue even came close. The Treasury is truly in a league of its own, and our wedding day exceeded every expectation we had. The food was nothing short of incredible. Chef Kyle went above and beyond, taking extra time to create custom dishes and desserts specifically for our wedding, and our guests are still talking about how amazing everything tasted. From the cocktail hour to dessert, every bite was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. The service staff were equally impressive — attentive, professional, and genuinely kind — constantly going above and beyond to make sure our guests were comfortable and that every detail of the day ran seamlessly. A special thank you to Josh, Kristin and Natalie for helping make the day even more special and for helping with every detail, allowing my husband and I to relax and truly enjoy the day from start to finish. We had an off-property private ceremony, and afterward our guests returned to The Treasury for a small, intimate cocktail hour in the vault for those who attended the ceremony. This ended up being one of our favorite parts of the day. Many of our guests had never seen the bank vault before, and they absolutely loved getting to experience such a unique and historic space. It also gave our guests something special and memorable to enjoy while we finished photos, before the main cocktail hour officially began — it worked out perfectly. The space itself is absolutely breathtaking. The architecture is stunning and elegant, allowing for minimal décor while still feeling grand and timeless. We also took a large portion of our photos inside the vault, which made for the most incredible and unique memories you truly cannot recreate anywhere else. We truly couldn’t have imagined a better place to host our wedding. From the food, to the service, to the one-of-a-kind atmosphere, The Treasury made our day feel incredibly special and completely unforgettable. We will cherish these memories forever and cannot recommend The Treasury Ballroom highly enough.”

“Words cannot adequately convey our gratitude and good fortune to have had the opportunity to work with Ashley Willis while planning our daughter’s Rehearsal Dinner, Cocktail Hour, Wedding Reception and After Party at The Townsend Hotel. From the moment we met to visit the venue setting, she was very responsive, professional, organized, patient, detailed and helpful. She was one of the main reasons we chose The Townsend as the wedding reception venue. With complete trust, we did not worry about any of the plans we made and she did not disappoint. It was such a privilege working with and learning from her.”
