Let's dive into the heart of it all—the venue! 🏰
Before we get started, let me give you a little backstory on why we ended up having not one, not two, but THREE wedding celebrations. Initially, we planned for a small ceremony with our immediate families on 12.24.2022, followed by a grand celebration at our destination wedding in Mexico on 2.21.2023.
However, our families wanted to celebrate with us too, so we decided to throw one final party. And being the chaos-loving couple that we are, we didn't want to wait another six months to celebrate, so we booked our final wedding on April 1, 2023. Yes, you heard that right—three weddings within five months! We're incredibly thankful for our families, wedding parties, and all our guests who joined us for this whirlwind of celebrations.
Now, let's talk venues. We toured about five venues in one weekend (efficient, right?). I highly recommend future couples stick to between three to five venues to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Before committing to a venue tour, do your research, ask about availability and pricing, and narrow down your top three choices. Trust me, it'll save you from potential heartbreak down the road.
The Treasury at Felina was the first venue we toured for our Jersey wedding, and every other venue visit after that felt like we were just comparing them to Felina.
The Treasury at Felina, a landmark hospitality venue, is unlike any other venue we've seen. Its neoclassical bank space boasts marble columns, soaring windows, towering ceilings, and a wraparound mezzanine for cocktail hour. Elements of brass, marble, the iconic Bank Vault Door, and the floating chandelier sculpture combine to create an unforgettable atmosphere.
I fell in love with the high ceilings and the lighting that looked like an art installation. The venue's old-world charm combined with modern touches like black and white tiling and marble and brass fixtures made it the perfect setting for our celebration.
The team at The Treasury at Felina worked like a well-oiled machine, ensuring that everything was set up seamlessly. From CJ, who helped us book the venue, to Carissa, our day-of coordinator, Franke Jr (our Maitre’D), and Anna (my bridal attendant), they made sure our day was nothing short of perfect.
With its unique charm and intimate setting, The Treasury at Felina provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration. If you're looking for a unique wedding venue, look no further than The Treasury at Felina. And while you're there, be sure to indulge in their amazing cuisine—it's absolutely amazing. We're excited to celebrate our “OMB Jersey” anniversary there for years to come! 🍽️✨
