Wedding Venue

The Treasury on the Plaza

Jacksonville, FL

The Treasury on the Plaza is housed in a magnificently restored 1937 federal building on the Plaza de la Constitución in the heart of historic St. Augustine, America's oldest city. The original barrel-vaulted marble lobby, ornate plasterwork, terrazzo floors, and soaring windows have been transformed into an event venue of extraordinary historical gravitas. Ceremonies in the main banking hall unfold beneath original chandeliers and hand-painted ceilings, while the outdoor plaza — flanked by four centuries of Spanish colonial architecture — provides a living history backdrop for cocktail hours. The Treasury accommodates up to 250 guests and is surrounded by St. Augustine's finest boutique hotels and restaurants.

Sunset times are calculated for this venue's coordinates, shown in EDT for the 15th of each month in 2026. Golden hour is the 60 minutes before sunset. The ceremony start is my rule of thumb — about 2 hours before sunset, so a short ceremony and family photos still leave the two of you in golden light. Adjust it to your own timeline. Average temperatures and rainfall are NOAA 1991–2020 normals from JACKSONVILLE NAS, 6.3 miles away.
