A 1920s bank vault turned cocktail bar, exclusive use of a historic downtown building, and a package structure built for weddings of 40 to 175 — here's what to know before booking Treasury on the Plaza in St. Augustine.
Treasury on the Plaza sits at 24 Cathedral Place in the heart of downtown St. Augustine, inside a building that opened as a bank in the 1920s. An award-winning renovation turned it into one of the city's most distinctive wedding venues — preserving original details like the bank vault while updating the space with modern event infrastructure. The result is a venue that feels genuinely historic rather than merely themed, which is rare even in a city with as much architectural history as St. Augustine.
Treasury on the Plaza books exclusive-use weddings only and is part of the Treasury Venue Collection. When you're booked, the entire building is yours for the day — no other event, no shared spaces, no strangers in the hallway during your reception.
Treasury on the Plaza hosts weddings from 40 to 175 guests, and offers four main package tiers rather than an a la carte room rental:
| Package | Best For |
|---|---|
| Intimate Wedding Package | 40–100 guests, all-inclusive for smaller weddings |
| Custom Wedding Package | 40–175 guests, choose your own vendors |
| Eat, Drink & Be Married | 100–175 guests, venue/food/coordination/bar included |
| All-Inclusive Package | 100–175 guests, most vendors bundled in |
The venue notes it works best for weddings in the 75–150 guest range — large enough to feel celebratory, small enough that the historic space doesn't feel empty. Couples planning a smaller wedding under 100 guests should ask about the Intimate Wedding Package specifically, since it's built around that guest range rather than scaled down from the larger packages.
Most Treasury on the Plaza weddings use the main floor for both the ceremony and reception — the exclusive-use booking means the space can be configured for ceremony, then reset for dining and dancing without guests having to move between buildings. The Vault typically serves as the cocktail hour focal point while the main floor is turned over for reception, which works naturally given The Vault's intimate, bar-like atmosphere.
Because it's an indoor historic building with a fixed footprint rather than a flexible ballroom, your entertainment setup needs to work within the existing architecture. That means sound coverage planned around the room's dimensions and acoustics, positioning that accounts for The Vault area versus the main reception floor, and load-in logistics coordinated downtown. We walk through all of this before your wedding day so the setup is right for the specific configuration you've booked — not a generic ballroom approach dropped into a 1920s bank building.
Footloose Entertainment provides Treasury on the Plaza wedding entertainment for couples throughout St. Augustine, and as a Treasury Plaza St Augustine DJ choice for couples who want experience in this specific building, we plan the setup around the venue's actual architecture rather than adapting a generic ballroom configuration. The fixed indoor footprint, the acoustic distinction between The Vault and the main floor, and the downtown load-in logistics all factor into how we plan the day.
The most important thing to confirm before your wedding day is how you're using the two spaces — whether The Vault is cocktail-hour-only or part of the reception itself determines the sound and speaker setup for that area. The main reception floor needs full coverage for dinner and dancing. Getting both right means planning them specifically, not assuming one setup works for both.
What we confirm before every Treasury on the Plaza wedding: your package tier and what's included, whether The Vault is in use during the reception or cocktail hour only, downtown load-in access and timing, and power access for the configuration you've booked.
Looking to add a photo booth alongside your DJ at Treasury on the Plaza? Adding a Treasury on the Plaza wedding photo booth is straightforward: The main reception floor accommodates a mirror booth or 360 setup alongside the dance floor. Given the boutique scale of the venue (75–150 guests is the sweet spot), placement matters more here than in a large ballroom — we plan it so the booth sits where guests actually flow during the evening, not pushed into a corner.
Footloose Entertainment's Treasury on the Plaza wedding DJ packages start at $1,495 for DJ & MC services, with final pricing shaped by guest count, hours of coverage, and add-ons. See what's included or request a quote for your date.
From as few as 40 guests up to 175, with the venue working best for gatherings of roughly 75 to 150 guests.
Yes. When you book your wedding ceremony and reception here, you receive exclusive use of the historic building for the day.
The Vault is the original bank vault from the building's 1920s history, now used as a striking bar and photo backdrop for receptions.
Because the venue is a converted historic bank building with a fixed indoor footprint, your DJ needs to plan sound and setup around the room's existing architecture. The Vault and the main reception floor have different acoustics, and which spaces you're using — and when — determines the setup plan. Load-in logistics downtown also need to be confirmed in advance.
Yes — the main reception floor has room for a mirror booth or 360 video setup alongside the dance floor. Given the boutique scale of the venue, placement matters more here than in a large ballroom, so we plan it during the pre-event walkthrough to make sure the booth is where guests actually pass by rather than tucked into a corner.
It depends on your guest count and how much you want bundled. For 40–100 guests, the Intimate Wedding Package is built for that scale. For 100–175 guests who want to simplify vendor coordination, the Eat, Drink & Be Married or All-Inclusive packages bundle catering, bar, and coordination into one contract. The Custom package suits couples in either range who want to choose their own vendor team.
