    Amazing! Excellent staff, food, prices!

    Amazing!!!!! We had our wedding at Deity on June 21, 2024. We are not exaggerating when we say it exceeded our wildest dreams. We chose Deity because we wanted a very Brooklyn vibe to our whole day, and you just can’t beat this space: the exposed brick, the lighting, the vintage feel of the bridal suite, the speakeasy-like atmosphere of the cellar, and the gorgeous building were exactly what we wanted. And then we met the staff. We could write a book about the people who work and run Deity; they made our day. Anna and Caio radiate love of love, and they are clearly committed to making weddings magical. We were so calm on the day of our wedding thanks to them. Every single person on the staff was thoughtful, personable, kind, and professional. The guests raved about the staff, the food (the food!!! Omg delicious!), the space, the DJ (Ben was awesome!), and the bartenders. Our wedding felt seamless and we actually got to enjoy every moment. We’d say the bridal suite is a must; it’s gorgeous and it added so much to the day to get ready there and have a first look. We faced a heat wave, so we barely used the rooftop, but it was lovely to go up there for photos. We did a tasting of the food beforehand and were so impressed, and it tasted even better day-of. The chef also surprised us with an epic cheese and fruit platter in addition to the appetizers during cocktail hour, and our guests loved it. Anna, the day-of coordinator, and Anastasia both took really good care of us. They built in moments for us to have alone time, helped us with our clothes and belongings, and kept everything moving smoothly. The pricing, as advertised, is transparent and there are no hidden fees. It was a really affordable wedding for New York and for us, and we appreciated that we were able to budget for it from the start with no surprises. We’d get married here 100 more times if we could, it was that good! Thank you, Deity, for an unforgettable experience. You are all in our hearts forever.

    An Amazing Micro Wedding

    Had a wonderful micro wedding at Deity. The venue is beautiful, the food was incredible and most importantly the staff was a joy to work with. Planning a wedding is daunting, and they made it so easy. Aside from the cake, the photographer and the officiant, they took care of EVERYTHING making it a wonderful stress-free experience. Our wedding guests were so impressed and had a blast. I will definitely be recommending Deity to those in need of an event space in NYC.

    Beautiful venue, Incredible Staff

    We held our reception here in February and can't speak highly enough of this place and the staff. Given all the stress we were under with folks traveling from out of town and just generally planning a wedding, we needed a venue that could simply our planning. Deity fit the bill and delivered. They handled all the major elements of the reception so we could focus on our guests and on having a great time.

    Deity's coordinator, Anna, was a godsend and made sure everything went off without a hitch. 10/10 would wed there again.

    Our dream wedding

    We just had our wedding at Deity in April 2024 and couldn’t be happier with how our special day went.

    The planning process: After we toured the venue, we knew Deity was special. The pricing was very transparent and super reasonable considering everything that’s included – the venue (lounge, loft, and basement), day-of coordinator, food, $50 bar credit pp, basic décor package, and DJ. The space is gorgeous and so unique, unlike any other venue we’ve attended as guests or toured. Each floor has a purpose and accompanying vibe to match – the bridal suite is relaxing and picturesque (highly recommend adding this to your day for an added cost), the cocktail lounge is dreamy, the ceremony loft (and dinner space) is bright yet cozy, and the basement dance floor is funky and fun. Because the venue was already beautifully designed and all inclusive, the only things we needed to provide for the ceremony/reception were signage (welcome, table arrangements, his/her drinks), minimal décor/flowers (we hired a florist for the ceremony arch and did bud vases for the tables and they turned out beautiful), and dessert. Some (including me) may be nervous about all-inclusive venues, however Deity was so accommodating to the little ways in which we wanted to make our wedding unique, such as incorporating cultural outfit changes into the schedule to setting up a late-night instant noodle bar. Finally, Anna, the coordinator included with the venue, was a godsend. She made the whole wedding planning process so much easier, patiently answered all my random questions, and provided guidance where needed.

    The day of: Our family and friends were blown away by the bridal suite. We were relaxed the whole morning while getting ready and got some beautiful photos to start off the day. Once the day started rolling, Anna and the whole Deity team were on top of everything. They made sure everyone was on schedule but also were flexible with last minute changes, even making sure my husband and I had private moments to ourselves. The food was delicious and plentiful. We had so many guests compliment the cocktail hour bites and dinner service, even our very picky grandma said it was the best salmon she’s ever had. The drinks were flowing and we had guests commenting on how drink service on the dance floor was genius – everyone could continue dancing and no one was ever waiting with an empty glass. Also, my husband and I were initially nervous about an in-house DJ because we are very picky with music but DJ BenHaMeen was amazing, listened to our wants and needs, and kept the dancefloor lively (our photographer even complimented the music!).

    All in all, we cannot recommend Deity enough. Our guests are still asking if we can have a wedding there every year (we wish!).

    Wonderful Staff + Beautiful Space = Amazing Wedding

    You generally only get one wedding, which means going into the day without knowing about a lot of the tiny details that go into making a wedding run smoothly. You do the research, you read the blogs, you study your friends' weddings and get tons of advice, but still you don't know what it's really like. The staff at Deity do--they do this every day. I could write about how great the space is, how much fun everyone had, and how reasonable the price was, and I'll get to all of that, but I want to emphasize what the pictures can't. Our wedding day ran smoothly and comfortably for us and our guests, and it's due to the staff at Deity. They anticipated our needs, gave us lots of helpful advice in both the planning stages and the day of, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the wedding we wanted. Anna, the coordinator, answered my endless emails and asked even more questions that hadn't occurred to me, and on the day of she handled everything so seamlessly I actually got to enjoy myself; Caio, the owner, gave our officiant (my brother) tips about when to move the mic for the smoothest possible ceremony, and made sure my train looked perfect right when I first stepped out into the aisle; and none of the staff batted an eye when I came down an hour before the guests were arriving to say I needed help hiding clues for a scavenger hunt that I had not told them I was planning. They made sure my husband and I got something to eat and a quiet moment to ourselves, they helped us load an Uber at almost midnight on a Sunday with all the stuff we'd brought. They made the whole day feel seamless and fun, and I cannot thank them enough.

    Also, so many of my guests made a point to tell me how good the food was. I'll admit, I was a little nervous about committing to the in-house catering without a tasting (we were lucky enough to get a sample from Chef James on our initial tour), but my fears were entirely unfounded. The passed appetizers were genuinely amazing, and the food served at the family-style dinner was tasty and actually hot, which I feel like is rare amongst weddings I've been to. They also were very helpful in accommodating our guests with dietary restrictions, including coordinating an order from a restaurant for a celiac guest, whom their kitchen wasn't equipped to serve. The bar was also great, helped us come up with custom cocktails, and there was cocktail service everywhere, including on the dance floor. When I factored in the food and drink to the total cost we paid for Deity, it's also a really good deal, compared to other local catering options!

    I won't say too much about the space because you can see it in the pictures and judge the vibe for yourself on a tour. But I will say that having different spaces for the different parts of the event was great, and having the suite for getting ready (and for retreating to when we needed a moment) was a godsend--not to mention wonderful for our photos! Sunset skyine photos without leaving the venue? Don't mind if I do! The location was great for both our in town guests, and those staying at nearby hotels.

    If you like the look of Deity, don't hesitate. I hope your wedding there turns out just as wonderful as ours!

    Great wedding at Deity

    We had a wonderful experience at Deity for our wedding. They were very organized, had great recommendations for the handful of external vendors we used, and were professional throughout our interaction. The space worked great for our 80 person wedding. There was plenty of space for our guests and we heard raving reviews about the food & cocktails.

    Additionally, with my mother being in a wheelchair, they were extremely accommodating and had the necessary facilities to help her navigate the event without any issues. Overall, guests loved the intimate feeling of the space, great food, great dj, great bar, everything. Would recommend if you're considering a wedding in Brooklyn!

    no regrets with choosing deity

    We chose Deity for our wedding venue April 2024 and have no regrets. We knew we wanted a Brooklyn vibe with low stress and Deity delivered. Both Caio (the owner) and Anna (event coordinator) are super easy to work with and are very responsive to all questions and needs. They make the bride and groom feel like royalty.

    If you are someone more low key and you do not want to obsess about every detail of your wedding, then Deity is the venue for you. They make everything very easy for the couple. Basically everything except a photographer, flowers, and cake is provided for you by Deity and part of the all inclusive price. We saw the venue once, booked a date, had only one planning meeting and some emails with Anna, then everything went smoothly the day of. Deity is honestly already naturally beautiful so not much extra decoration and prep is needed (all we brought in were rented silk flowers for the arch, bud vases for the tables, and late night taco Bell for the partiers).

    We did opt to pay extra for the upstairs Suite and it was worth it. The suite is a good place for pictures and it minimizes stress on the day of as you can keep all your stuff in there and the staff packs up everything for you at the end of the night. It was also super nice to have a moment of quiet in the suite after the ceremony where they served you appetizers privately.

    Overall, very happy with our choice of Deity as our wedding venue and no regrets!

    Dream wedding planned & held by a Deity dream team!

    This past April, my husband and I held our wedding ceremony and reception at Deity, and it was a beautiful, life-changing experience. We came into the wedding planning process with fears and anxieties, and were immediately soothed by Anna's capable and personalized care. Throughout the months of planning, Anna was our rock and helped us plan, prepare and coordinate, even making better suggestions when we came up with odd requests. Not only did we feel engaged and comfortable, we also felt respected as individuals and supported as a LGTBQ couple. On the day of the wedding, our anxieties gave way to excitement, optimism, and pure love and joy as the Deity team led a beautifully choreographed day + evening for us, our family, and friends, from working with our vendors, to keeping a solid schedule, to serving incredible food, to incorporating the complexities of our diverse cultural backgrounds. Words can't express how thankful we are to Anna, Caio, Kat, Anastasia, BenHamin, and all others at Deity. Thank you.

    The dreamiest wedding

    We are so happy after having our wedding at Deity last Saturday. Everyone involved--the coordinator Anna, the chef, the venue owner, DJ Ben, Kat, and all the staff--were amazing to work with. Our family and friends raved about the decor, food and dancing. Anna is truly a star in how she shepherds everyone through the phases of the evening. Plus, the surrounding area has great hotels and restaurants for other wedding weekend events. (We had a great rehearsal dinner at French Louie.) Highly recommend going with Deity!

    The only venue we needed to see!

    Deity was the most perfect venue to host our special day! From the very beginning of planning, they made it so easy for us. They took care of much of the decor, music, lighting, seating, catering and more! Anna was a rockstar, answering all our questions, emails and video chats before the big day. Even making sure everything ran smoothly the day-of. Emily was also so incredibly helpful on our big day and even went out of her way to help pin up my dress for me after the ceremony. The venue itself has so many picturesque features, we didn’t even need to leave the gorgeous bridal suite to capture most of our amazing photos. Finally, from our hand picked appetizers to the delicious dinner service, all of the food was incredible! Our favorite part was being privately served the appetizers and signature drinks in the suite after our ceremony. The staff at Deity made us feel like celebrities on our most special day, I couldn’t have imagined it being any more perfect!

    Easy planning for a perfect wedding

    We had a great experience with Deity - planning was easy and the staff was very helpful and communicative. The wedding day was totally stress-free for us because they took care of everything, and our guests all told us they had a blast and felt it was a deeply thoughtful event. We were also very pleased about how great the food was, and really appreciated that the team was accommodating in terms of dietary restrictions for our guests - plus, they made sure we had time to eat on the wedding day! We’d unreservedly recommend Deity to any couple looking for an affordable and low-stress venue that doesn’t feel like it cuts any corners in terms of creating a fun and special event.

    Wedding of our Dreams - Amazing Space, Amazing Night

    We recently got married at Deity in November 2023, and we couldn't be happier with the entire day – it was perfect! From start, when we first visited the venue in December 2022, to finish, our experience was nothing short of exceptional, and we wanted to share our thoughts and gratitude.

    The venue itself is simply breathtaking. The moment we stepped into Deity, you could tell it holds so much unique charm and elegance. The space comes already beautifully designed, which was helpful as we did not need tons of floral arrangements/extra decorations. We were thrilled to receive countless compliments from our guests about the ambiance, and the different floors really gave the whole night a special type of vibe. The stairs were not a problem for our guests.

    The food at Deity was outstanding. From the initial food tasting to the reception, every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. We received numerous compliments from our friends and family about the quality and variety of the menu.

    A special shout out is for the bridal suite – the top floor area that we reserved for the entire day. We cannot understate how great this space was – we spent literally all day there, starting at 10am, for getting ready, photos, etc. It is so perfect and everything you need!

    We also want to give a special shoutout to the DJ BenHaMeen who absolutely crushed the music throughout the whole evening. The energy and enthusiasm translated onto the dance floor and our guests had an incredible time dancing the night away, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    Lastly, we want to express our appreciation to Anna, the onsite coordinator at Deity. Anna's professionalism, attention to detail, and excellent communication made the entire wedding planning process so much more manageable. She was always available to answer our questions and provide guidance. Thank you, Anna!

    Truly – our wedding at Deity was an absolute dream come true. It had everything we were looking for – in NYC, inclusive and with character. We highly recommend Deity to any couple looking for a wedding venue that exceeds expectations in every way.

    Perfect Intimate Wedding at a Beautifully Unique Venue

    My wife and I had our wedding at Deity on 11/11/23 and it was one of the best decisions we ever made. We were looking for a unique, warm space to have an intimate micro wedding. We live in Boston so a beautiful venue, affordability, ease, and convenience were high priority for us. Deity brought all that and more. The space is absolutely stunning, we barely had to add any extra decor. The setup was great as different parts of the wedding were on different floors so it never felt like we were in the same space all day. And the BRIDAL SUITE?! Absolutely phenomenal and made getting ready for the day super convenient. We even did our first look photos there because we were in love with the look of it and the sunlight coming through. After our ceremony we did some couple shots on the roof that were so greatz

    The micro wedding package we chose was perfect for us. Ceremony, reception, food & drinks, basic decor like candles, and the DJ were included. The food was delicious and our guests LOVED the family style setup as everyone was able to try everything and serve themselves just the amount they wanted. Because we were so small we kept our reception on the main floor as opposed to adding the cellar. The main floor was great as it was spacious and everyone had room dance, sit, and chat with ease.

    As for the staff, they were fantastic. Everything went smoothly and they were so keen on making sure my wife and I were taken care of the whole night. One of my big concerns was for my Grandma who sometimes has trouble walking and the shuffling between two floors was concerning. But Deity was on it, they kept the stair lift ready for her at all times and made sure she was given priority time and space to move around before the other guests. At the end of the reception, the staff packed up all our belongings and had it ready for us to take out the space so we could enjoy the entire reception with our guests.

    Last but honestly most important, Anna. Anna was amazing to us. From the first FaceTime meeting she was kind, straight forward, detailed, and excited for us. I’ve never planned or seen a wedding be planned before, so I was struggling with what to do. Anna thought of everything. She assisted with timelines, payment reminders, streamlining decor, making suggestions for things I didn’t think about, and answered any question I had. She even assisted with setting up our after party at Someday Bar next door, which worked out perfectly. Anna was so easy to work with and accommodated me during the limited in person visits I could make. I can’t imagine not having her to assist us with our wedding. She truly made the Deity experience top notch.

    Deity provided us with an absolutely beautiful wedding. We did not have the overwhelming stress, worries, or mishaps that we have heard usually occur with planning a wedding. Deity made it seamless so we could just enjoy the process and our day. We recommend to the highest degree. THANK YOU, DEITY! ❤️

    Perfect day in the perfect space

    People always say that wedding planning is stressful. And as a November 2023 newlywed, I can confidently say that is NOT the case when getting married at Deity. First of all, Deity has everything in one place, with no extra fees. Your staff, catering, bar, DJ (!!!), rentals, and the BEST day-of coordinator that you can ever imagine (shout out to Anna) are all included, not to mention top-tier.

    Anna made this process exciting and easy. We met leading up to the wedding and she talked us through the entire schedule and ensured we were prepared to make every decision about the day. Then, in the last weeks before the wedding, I'd ask her about a specific detail or addition and she said yes right away to each request and executed them flawlessly. We wanted black table cloths for the cocktail hour? Yes, done. We wanted to add a scent to the room with reed diffusers? She'd set them up, prioritizing the spaces we were most excited about.

    And on the day of the wedding, we felt so calm. Anna handled everything, from moving people's dinner seating around at the last minute, to supporting my elder, less mobile relatives throughout the evening so my family didn't have to. She was with us for rehearsal and helped my friend, a first-time officiant, feel supported and prepared to lead every part of the ceremony. She made sure all the borrowed items got back to their original owners so I didn't have to. She got us water on the dance floor throughout the night. I have never been so taken care of.

    And of COURSE you're booking because Deity is beautiful. We got SO many compliments on the space, on the food, on everything. It really was the most perfect day of our lives, and we could not have pulled it off without such professionals. Thank you to Anna and Caio and the entire Deity team for a day we'll never forget.

    PS. book the bridal suite. Nothing like getting ready with your loved ones in such a bright beautiful space.

    Beautiful venue with a great team!

    We got married in Deity in late October and it was the perfect venue for our celebration! When we first saw the venue, we fell in love with the uniqueness of the venue, the perfect location for access, the history of the building, and the multiple floors. Each floor has a unique vibe, and looks gorgeous! Most importantly, we met Anna and she was fantastic! We decided immediately that we needed to book this spot for our wedding. Anna was IMMENSELY helpful in the planning process and answered all our questions patiently, recommended vendors, and provided great guidance overall. Our wedding was a Hindu ceremony and this was the first time Deity was hosting a Hindu ceremony. Anna was extremely accommodating of the various needs and traditions. The tasting was also professional, and we loved the bartender’s special creations for us (I still think of that drink!). Prices-wise, Deity is so upfront about all the costs and everything is extremely reasonable for their quality of the service. I absolutely love the all-inclusive packages – it makes everything so much easier to navigate in a world of crazy wedding prices!

    On the day off, we got the suite to get ready in – and I highly highly recommend getting that suite. It’s CLUTCH to have that space to get ready in with the wedding party, and it is ENORMOUS - we had 15 people and they were all super comfortable. It also makes for extremely cute photos! Once the wedding started, Anna and Emily took over everything and treated us like royalty - no one bothered us for a single detail and everything we had thought of was taken care of! I was a bit worried about moving folks up and down the multiple floors, but the Deity team are pros and know how to handle a crowd - even a boisterous Indian one! People still come up to me and share how much they loved the venue, the drinks, and are in awe of the Deity team and their immense professionalism.

    If you are looking for a unique, beautiful venue to host your wedding, don’t hesitate to book Deity! I promise you won’t regret it!

    Better than you can dream of

    Words alone cannot describe how beautiful this venue is, but the real pleasure? Finding a staff from top to bottom (and that’s only on a pay scale level, because everybody who works here is top-notch) that works tirelessly to make your wedding (or event) a dream come true. It may start with Anna, who will be attentive to your every wish, but every member of the Deity staff will make you feel like your event means more than anything else on that day. Affordable prices, plus an ability to provide most of the things you’ll need makes this place an easy recommendation, and one you’ll certainly never regret. The food is incredible, and portions will exceed your biggest worries (trust me, Anna kept encouraging me to trust that I’d be full, and she did not let me down haha) Can’t wait to hold my 10 year anniversary here!

    Absolutely perfect Brooklyn venue

    We got married in October 2023 at Deity and it was an absolutely perfect Brooklyn venue. From the architecture of the building, which was ideal for hosting our ceremony, cocktails, dinner, and dancing, to the planning process, which was made super easy with the Deity staff, to the eventual price tag — everything was flawless and we’re still getting complements on how fun our wedding was. If you’re looking for that perfect wedding venue, stop — you’ve found it.

    The flow through the architecture of the Deity space was perfect for a long party. Here’s the chronology breakdown of our wedding and how Deity was great on each step of the way. Guests arrive in the first level, which has beautiful brick walls, stained glass, and a full tree next to the bar (really feels like a historical New York landmark!). Meanwhile, the wedding party can do a full run through of the ceremony upstairs in the ceremony space (we had a string quartet during the ceremony so it was great to have the space and time to walk down the aisle in the correct order to practice, also with the guidance and advice of Anna, our event coordinator!). Guests then came upstairs for the ceremony (aided by the staff, the wedding party could all be safely concealed behind a curtain). It was easy to work with our florist to set up the gorgeous Deity arch and candles on the floor to set a great atmosphere. After the ceremony, we were aided up to the suite (which I highly recommend you book) to take a moment and also officially sign the certificate. As an extra touch, the chef sent up one of each of our passed plates and glasses of champagne so we could eat and take a breath. Next was a cocktail hour in the first floor while the ceremony space got turned into dinner — again, flawless execution here, and we could focus on talking to everyone. Dinner service was excellent. The courses came out with perfect timing, and were even able to work around a couple speeches going long. We started with wine on the tables, and extra drink orders were taken throughout. The food was fabulous — fresh herb chicken and New York strip with mushroom sauce. After our last speech concluded, the DJ came up and welcomed everyone downstairs to the dance floor. Again, Deity staff are experts at coordination and we had everyone setup in the cellar, music timed perfectly, for our entrance and first dance. Desert was already setup downstairs, and it was fun having people be able to flow from the dance floor back upstairs to have a conversation space. Finally, at 12:30am, our perfect wedding wound down.

    Throughout the whole night, we felt like the guests of honor rather than being worried about the details, and our guests had a blast.

    The staff, both during the months-long planning process, and during the event itself, were exemplary. Special shout-out to Anna, who was in constant communication with us throughout the process and made us feel so welcome. We met with her several times as the date grew closer, and at the end of each she prepared a typed up itinerary for our wedding day with clear next steps and action items — this made planning a breeze despite our busy work schedules. As all the food is provided by Deity, we had several conversations with the chef as we were picking out our menu (3 months before the wedding we had our tasting, in the Deity wedding space). Food was our biggest concern and honestly we were apprehensive about booking all-inclusive—but you are in such good hands with the Head Chef from the passed plates to the main course. Finally, our DJ (DJ Frei Speech) was PERFECT, also chosen by Deity. He was an expert of blending multiple eras of music to get everyone on the dance floor. Also, shout-out to Emily on the day-of Deity staff who made sure the dress was bustled, both before the cocktail hour and later into the evening when she was prepared with safety pins! The food, DJ, cocktails, wine, dinner rentals and coordination were all provided and included by Deity, making it SO much easier to finish our wedding planning. In addition to the included vendors, Anna’s recommended vendors were superb, including our photographer (Seng with Le Image) and florist (Charlotte with Floral Heights). Thanks to the team, our wedding went off without a hitch, and we were able to savor every moment of our day.

    In conclusion, Deity is the perfect Brooklyn wedding venue.

    BEST wedding venue, food, and price in NYC!

    We (bride & groom) and all of our guests (of all ages from near and far) love Deity as a wedding venue. It had everything we wanted for the best price in NYC. The cost was very reasonable for this area of Brooklyn, including the use of 3 floors, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, $40/pp bar credit, DJ, and gratuity (saved so much on the gratuity, DJ and bar, alone, which allowed us to spring for an extra premium entrée, valet parking, the bridal suite, and a henna artist, who set up shop at one of the tables in the cocktail lounge). The space has everything you need (ceremony space, which flips into the dinner space, cocktail hour space, and cellar/dance floor space). We highly recommend the bridal suite (gorgeous inside and roof space, huge, and worth every penny). The tasting was a bit pricey, but very educational-we had our menu set before the tasting but ended up getting totally different items and our menu ended up being the best wedding food our guests ever experienced (everyone tried everything and finished their meals). For passed hors d’oeuvres we highly recommend the chicken & waffles, spanakopita, stuffed mushrooms, crab cakes and sliders (we also got the potatoes w/ caviar, but they weren’t as well-received), and for dinner we recommend the filet mignon (which you can cut with a fork) w/ horseradish sauce, seared tuna (well worth the extra per person cost for this second premium entree), citrus salad, tomato mozzarella salad, and orzo (all delicious with rave reviews). The vegetable wellington was also a hit with our vegetarian guests. The fact that everything is served family style made the service much faster and gave everyone ample time to finish dinner and enjoy the evening. The wine selection was great, too, as was the full premium bar which also included frozen drinks (we only ended up paying $3,000 after the $40 per person bar credits, included in the per person pricing, were used) for 115 guests. The staff was super knowledgeable and friendly. And the DJ, BenHa Meen, was an absolute pro (our guests all got their groove on), and the fact that he is included in the wedding package made it even better. At first, we were concerned about the size of the space and all the stairs, but everyone had a great time, from our youngest to oldest guests (and the chair lift to the ceremony/dinner space was very useful). We received consistent feedback from many guests saying it was the best wedding they ever attended in terms of venue (a West Village native in the food and beverage industry said it’s his new favorite event venue), food, and service. One of our flower girls had a mini breakdown before show time and the Deity staff expertly calmed her down. There is nothing else you could want AND this place will not break your bank, which is just phenomenal for New York City. Thank you SO much to Deity for the best night of our lives.

    Fantastic Wedding

    My wife and I got married at Deity earlier this year, and we are so lucky to have found this venue! The entire experience was an A+ from start to finish.

    What makes Deity so effective is in how it utilizes its space. Each floor serves a distinct purpose that flowed remarkably well for the reception - dance floor in the basement, cocktail area on the 1st floor, reception and dinner on the 2nd floor, and bridal suite / rooftop on the top floors. And we completely loved the rustic vibes coming from the exposed brick, which was prominently featured throughout the building. And last but not least, the entire staff was incredibly attentive and amiable, which encouraged us to ask questions and make requests.

    A special shoutout goes to Anna - she was instrumental to making our day a complete success. Even when we needed to make last minute changes to the seating chart, she was kind and reassuring. There was no challenge too daunting for her; her poise and confidence put us at ease, both during the wedding planning and on the wedding day itself.

    Thank you Deity for making our wedding day such a memorable day. You turned our vision into a reality and we couldn’t have pictured our wedding any differently!

    Lovely wedding venue

    We had our wedding at Deity on September, it was a small reception with cocktails hour and a lunch, the place was perfect for what we wanted and the staff was amazing. Starting with Anna, she was so helpful and kind with us, our kid and all our guests, very patient and always answered our questions and doubts. Ours guest are still talking about it and how much of a good time they had there. The food was delicious and the place was decorated very delicately and nice. We used the suite to get ready and was very convenient not having to travel from place to place, was also beautiful to have photos done there as well as the rooftop. I would definitely recommend this place for any party/event in a bit.

    Perfect for Brooklyn Weddings!

    The event space is beautiful, unique, and really captures the spirit of Brooklyn. Deity's staff is extremely helpful, and took so much of the stress of planning a wedding out of our hands. Our guests had an incredible time and loved the space as well. Everyone at Deity went above and beyond, and our coordinator, Anna, had so many great recommendations throughout the whole process. On the day of the wedding, Anna ran the entire evening smoothly, attentively, and professionally. She is a PRO.

    Deity the perfect spot for a Brooklyn wedding. Food was excellent, music was wonderfully curated, and the flow and small details were handled impeccably by Deity's team so we were able to enjoy our evening as a couple instead of as hosts. We highly recommend!

    Believe the hype: Deity Events is AH-MAZING!

    We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our special day at Deity Events over Labor Day weekend this year, and we couldn't be happier with our choice to use them as our wedding venue/primary wedding planning team. My partner and I decided to pay entirely for our wedding, and we booked the venue back in 2021. From the very beginning of this process, the owners Anna and Caio assisted the entire planning process with care, warmth and the utmost professionalism.

    The main reason we chose Deity is because of their "all-inclusive" approach to event planning. The venue itself has a rooftop, bridal suite, dinner/ceremony hall, bar, and dance floor; and to top things off, they recently added an incredible chef to the mix. With Deity, we were able to take care of our venue, bridal/getting ready suite, bar, meals, and DJ/dance floor all within a single plan and contract! I cannot begin to express just how much that allowed us to have a seamless setup and execution the day of. Additionally, for what they didn't have in-house, Anna was fantastic about suggesting other vendors and setup details based on the wealth of experience they've had.

    The Deity venue itself is quite magical even without decor, with a natural and rustic feel, so you can really calibrate your event from minimalist and simple to glamorous maximalist. In addition to silk flowers (which Anna expertly suggested), we bought a few simple garlands and sashes to accent, and we really didn't need much more than that, which helped save a ton of money and tear down headache. Their bridal suite and rooftop were also awesome and everyone was talking about it, and the homey kitchen allowed for us to coordinate breakfast and lunch platters for our friends and crew with ease. And our rooftop pictures against Brooklyn's skyscrapers and against their rustic entryway (with a Romeo & Juliet window!!) are absolutely stunning!

    The day of was incredible, and honestly, everyone was talking about how Anna and the Deity crew were spectacular in keeping the day going in a timely manner. And the food and drink was absolutely incredible -- AND they were also able to accommodate all our vegetarian and vegan friends!

    Seriously, our experience at Deity Events was nothing short of perfection, and we are so grateful for the wonderfully perfect memories created in that beautiful space and for the dedicated team that made our dream wedding a reality. Believe the hype and other reviews: Deity Events truly does live up to their name and reputation!

    Best venue space in Brooklyn!

    Not only is Deity a gorgeous venue space, bit the staff were amazing to me and my family. The DJ is provided by the venue and he was so professional and did a great job. The coordinator Anna and her assistant were amazing and so efficient. I can't recommend this place enough! The food was so good too. And the best part, this place is so affordable compared to other venues within Brooklyn.

    A Dream Wedding at Deity, Brooklyn

    August 6th, 2023, will forever be etched in our memories, not just as the day we said "I do," but also as the day we experienced the magic of Deity.

    From the moment we stepped into Deity, we were captivated by its beauty. The venue effortlessly marries elegance with charm, creating an ambiance that's both intimate and grand. Every corner, every detail, whispered tales of love and celebration, making it the perfect backdrop for our special day.

    But what truly set our experience apart was the staff. Their dedication to ensuring our day was nothing short of perfect was evident in every gesture, every smile. And at the heart of this incredible team was Anna. As our coordinator, Anna was nothing short of a fairy godmother. With a meticulous eye for detail and a passion that's palpable, she orchestrated an evening that was seamless and unforgettable. Every moment flowed into the next, allowing us to be present and soak in the love and joy that surrounded us.

    Now, let's talk about the life of the party - DJ Jamal. If you're looking for someone to elevate your event, look no further. His impeccable taste in music, coupled with his ability to read the room, ensured that our guests were on their feet all night long. From timeless Latin classics to Hip Hop hits, and of course hitting every point on our music wish list. Jamal's set had something for everyone. We can't recommend him highly enough!

    And of course, what's a celebration without delectable food and drinks? Deity truly outdid themselves. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, tantalizing our taste buds and leaving us craving for more. The drinks, crafted to perfection, were the cherry on top of an already sumptuous feast.

    If you're on the hunt for a wedding venue that offers not just a beautiful space but also an experience, Deity is the place to be. With a team that's as passionate as they are skilled, and offerings that are high-level tasty, your special day is bound to be everything you've dreamed of and more.

    Thank you, Deity, for making our wedding day truly magical. We couldn't have asked for a better place to start our forever.

    Celebrating Love the Brooklyn Way

    From our initial tour of the venue to packing up at the end of our wedding night, the experience at Deity was fantastic. The unique character of the venue immediately drew us in. We loved how it appeared unassuming from the street (we'd actually walked by it dozens of times and never knew it was an event space), but then had so much charm and possibility when you entered. Anna, the coordinator extraordinaire, was such a pleasure to work with and truly made the planning process painless. Anna always exhibited happy patience and flexibility while fielding all of our questions over email or phone as we put together the event. Her recommendations for local vendors were excellent and she made us feel like we were doing great, even when we felt there were too many details still left to finalize. And, although the space doesn't need any additional décor, Anna collaborated with us to add some small extra special touches that we wanted to incorporate that brought our vision of the special day to life.

    Deity also provided a delicious food selection and amazing staff for our event. We opted for a standing cocktail style dinner to facilitate chances for folks to mingle and celebrate together. The staff was attentive and made sure everyone got an opportunity to try everything. And the chefs created delightful additions, which of course cemented the rave reviews from our guests about the food and drinks. In the days that followed the wedding, we heard consistently from our guests how we “threw one hell of a party".

    For any folks looking to host their event at Deity, we cannot provide higher praises. If your event would benefit from using the suite upstairs or the rooftop, you should do both. We did and have no regrets, even though the weather only gave us a small window to use the roof. The suite was the perfect place for our family and friends to hang out together before the festivities began (which ensured that all of the ladies in the wedding didn't have to worry about messing up their hair in the rain) and some of our best pictures came together in that brief window of sunlight on the roof.

    Caio (the owner of Deity) and Anna were a pleasure to work with. Collaborating with great people who want your event to go off as perfectly as you do makes the whole endeavor of planning a million little details so much easier. Deity was the only venue we saw that was 100% transparent about their pricing. There were no surprise charges and fewer moving parts for us to worry about. Which, at the end of the day, just made our decision to work with this amazing team the second best one behind saying yes.
