At The Vault, we believe the best wedding moments happen in the in-between—the welcome drinks, the laughter-filled dinners, the quiet morning coffees, and the heartfelt goodbyes. Our boutique venue was designed to hold it all. Set inside a restored historic bank in downtown Traverse City, The Vault offers an intimate event space paired with on-site accommodations featuring three king bedrooms, each with its own private ensuite bath. It’s the perfect setting for rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, getting-ready mornings, farewell brunches, and small private events. The Vault offers premium experiences such as hosting an unforgettable sunset cruise or welcome excursion aboard our private yacht. Couples love the ease of hosting everything in one place, the warmth of the space, and the way The Vault feels more like a private gathering home than a traditional venue. If you're dreaming of a wedding weekend that feels relaxed, meaningful, and uniquely yours, we’d love to welcome you.

“We hosted our company holiday party at The Vault and it was absolutely perfect. The space was beautifully set up with high-top tables, cozy lounge areas, and plenty of room to mingle and dance. The bartending service was seamless, and the trayed hors d'oeuvres kept flowing all night. Everything felt effortless because Miranda and Michael handled every detail — from restocking drinks to keeping the space tidy and the music just right. Our team couldn’t stop talking about how fun, relaxed, and elevated the entire evening felt. We can’t wait to host another event here!”

We received so many compliments on how beautiful everything was and more on how fantastic Rose and the staff were.
