Ceremonies are typically held at the base of the Lower Falls or at the Dome, an open-air site framed by a wrought-iron dome near the Upper Falls.

A separate on-site Villa Suite provides overnight accommodations for up to six guests, available for extended stays with a two-night minimum — a frequent choice for a wedding party getting ready before the event.

The Carlisle Vault occupies a beautifully refurbished 1816 bank building on the northeast corner of Carlisle, Pennsylvania's town square.

In 2011 it was reimagined as a one-of-a-kind event venue, preserving details like hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling arched windows, chandeliers, and a balcony. The original 1890 vault now serves as an entryway into the reception hall, and its safe deposit boxes were built into the bar area for a distinctive touch. The venue is owned and operated by Ross Morris, Laura Portillo, Ryan, and Helena Twigg through their hospitality group, A Party of 4, which also runs several Carlisle restaurants including Café Bruges, Helena's Chocolate Café & Creperie, and Piatto. That hospitality background carries into The Carlisle Vault, where the team works with clients to customize each rental — from a do-it-yourself approach to full complementing bar and catering services — for weddings, corporate events, showers, and meetings in the heart of downtown Carlisle.
