We wanted a venue that was beautiful and bright, but it was important that the ceremony and the reception would both be indoors. We did not want to take any risks with Florida weather!

We were blown away by The Vault when we first toured it, both inside and out. We love this area, and we loved that our wedding venue was literally down the street from our old apartment. The space inside is really so beautiful on its own, and the curtains and uplighting they use at night are stunning. We also loved that it was a historic building, and our guests could explore the old bank vault. The service was great; Norma was extremely helpful throughout the entire process!

Once we had narrowed it down to Tampa and decided on an indoor wedding, there really wasn’t any competition. I did not want to risk the special day being rained out, so it had to be a space that held up on its own without the beautiful Floridian backdrop.

We chose The Vault because as soon as you walk up to those 1920 columns, you are fully transported into a historical Tampa landmark. It speaks for itself. When you walk through the doors the first thing you see is the floor-to-ceiling windows as well as the original marble floors. The space on its own is simply breathtaking and in the back is the actual vault that the bank used way back in the day.

Another main perk is that The Vault handles all of its food catering itself to ensure you have the best day possible. This made it easier to ensure top-of-the-line service. Everything about The Vault service was 10 out of 10 from the moment the day started until we closed the place down.

We both wanted an indoor reception venue for the big day (since unpredictable Florida weather can be scary) that transported guests to feel like they stepped into a different time. We were hopeful that we would find a historic building that was also a ‘one-stop shop’ that covered the catering, tables, and chairs, and so on to reduce the number of vendors we needed to coordinate with on the day of.

The Vault checked every box for us: historical architectural elements, high ceilings, lots of natural light, two floors, large space, great food options, and an experienced team. We are incredibly grateful for the team at The Vault; we couldn’t imagine our big day without them. They made all of our wedding dreams happen.

“I loved the character and historic and modern elegance of The Vault. Our guests were able to walk from the ceremony to the reception.”

“We fell in love with our reception space after learning it was revitalized from The Exchange National Bank constructed in 1923. The character and modern elegance it possessed was absolutely breathtaking. We took a leap of faith and had no regrets. The Vault is an amazing space, and we feel blessed it was apart of the happiest day of our lives!”

“I wanted a wedding venue that was unique to Tampa, but that was also a blank canvas that I could bring my own style too. The Vault is the perfect mix of old and new Tampa. Everyone at the venue was so accommodating, and I felt comfortable putting my wedding in their hands!”
