Rule of Thirds

Deciding to get married at Rule of Thirds was easily the best decision we made during wedding planning. We got married there at the end of June and it was the perfect venue for a fun, warm, and meaningful celebration.

From the staff to the food and drinks to the overall vibe, we had the best day imaginable. From the very beginning, Julie and Mandy were so great and easy to work with. The entire team is friendly, responsive, and flexible- ideal partners to work through ideas and vision. They are also especially accommodating with dietary needs, customizing the menu to fit our needs. They went above and beyond to prepare separate dishes for guests with restrictions so they wouldn't miss out on any of the delicious courses otherwise served family style.

The food and drinks in general are amazing and unique. It is truly restaurant quality (and we love going back to the restaurant to eat some of the dishes that were on our wedding menu). We added on the hand roll station and sake tasting during the cocktail hour which were both big hits.

Lastly, the space itself is beautiful and needs minimal additional florals or decor. The natural light (especially coming from the super cool skylight periscope), industrial touches, and warmth from the wood and plants all combine to create a chic and relaxed atmosphere.

Overall we love RoT and could not recommend it enough. Once you explore the space and eat the food, you will also understand why it's so special. Thank you, thank you to the team for being so great and helping us have the best wedding day.

Rule of Thirds was our top venue from the start of our wedding planning, and we’re so happy we went with them for the big day because it was executed flawlessly. We personally didn’t want our wedding to feel overly formal or stiff, but still wanted a chic, elevated vibe so Rule of Thirds was perfect for us. The space itself is already beautiful on its own, we loved the industrial aesthetic with the natural touches of the plants already there. It was nice to not feel pressure to spend out of our budget in terms of decorations, the florist and lighting rentals we brought in blended in seamlessly with the venue.

For the food tasting, we weren’t able to make it since we’re currently based out of state, but my mom and her friend who live in the area stepped in for us. They called me the next day gushing about how much fun they had at dinner lol and said that they were very happy with all the food and drink they tried, making it hard to pick favorites.

Communication with the events team was easy and efficient throughout the whole planning process. Our main contacts were Julie and Mandy, who were both incredibly cordial and hospitable. They were very responsive to all of our questions or notes too. They provided a great list of vetted vendor recommendations for you to choose from, and there were also no problems bringing in vendors outside of that.

The staff who worked on the wedding day (bartenders, servers, etc.) were all really friendly and approachable, our friends and family all had pleasant interactions with them, and they even checked in on us throughout the night to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. One of my friends is considering Rule of Thirds as the venue for her upcoming wedding, so our wedding was essentially a trial run for her and her fiancé and they both left convinced - they loved it! The food was so well prepared and varied, there was something for everyone and all of our guests left happy and full. They were also very accommodating to our guests with food allergies / diet restrictions, and they enjoyed their meals as well (including one with a fish allergy)! Majority of our 120 guests were older relatives and family then the rest were friends our age (late 20s), and everyone collectively had a great time. Overall the venue covered everything we envisioned for our wedding and more, the food and drinks (both alcoholic and NA) were amazing, and it was the perfect environment. Thank you so much!!

We had our wedding at Rule of Thirds, and it was absolute perfection from start to finish. The space is effortlessly cool and beautiful — modern yet warm, with such a great flow. The team was incredible to work with, and every detail was handled with care and professionalism. Julie and Mandy were amazing to work with - incredible responsive and helped answer all our questions throughout the process.

And the food… truly next-level. Our guests are still talking about how amazing every dish was (and the cocktails, too!). From the welcome drinks to the late-night bites, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

Rule of Thirds gave us the most magical day — amazing food, impeccable service, and a setting that felt so “us.” We couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Strongly exceeded our expectations. The space was absolutely stunning - the skylight, the reception space basking in golden hour all added to the mood of the event. The food was excellent, to nobody's surprise - our guests kept on complimenting us on food and beverage during the night and even over the next couple of days. The team at Rule of Thirds was professional and warm, and the event coordinator was so communicative and easy to work with. I cannot recommend this venue enough.

My wife and I began our venue search in November 2024 for an August 2025 wedding. We had a vision to host a wedding with an intimate, low-key, and comforting vibe while serving our loved ones delicious food in a space where people of all ages and walks of life could come together and share in laughter, joy, and good conversations. When we first arranged a visit to Rule of Thirds, we immediately knew that this was the place that could bring our dreams into reality. Julie and Mandy were our primary points of contact throughout the process, while Lucia was our point of contact the day of, and all three of them are such lovely and thoughtful people to partner with. The Rule of Thirds team is responsive, accommodating, respectful, and so on top of execution from beginning to end. The space itself is filled with lots of light, and the natural, neutral, and rustic tones and textures truly create a one-of-a-kind experience. The team is experienced and quick, so everything the day of - the transitions, service, etc. - was seamless. So many of our guests loved the ambiance and have let us know that it was the best food at a wedding they've ever had.

We hosted our wedding reception at Rule of Thirds and we could not have been happier with the outcome! We worked with Julie and Mandy. Julie was super helpful in getting the process started and Mandy was our coordinator. Both were such wonderful people to work with. Made our vision for the reception come to life! The place itself is such a beautiful space for a reception anyways! The staff were so kind and great! We had a guest who wasn’t feeling well and the staff were there to assist and help them with their needs! We are both so happy we chose Rule of Thirds for our wedding celebration and all we got were compliments on the food, the staff, the venue!

From the moment we walked into Rule of Thirds for our site visit, we knew that we had found the perfect venue for our wedding! We had our wedding this past May 2025 at Rule of Thirds, and could not be MORE HAPPY for our decision. Not only is the space incredibly beautiful, but the staff is amazing, truly so helpful, kind, and patient. Food and drink being included due to the incredible restaurant that Rule of Thirds already is, in addition to hosting events, made booking this space an even easier decision! Julie and Mandy, who communicated with us throughout our planning process, were a huge help as we worked to envision our big day, and were always available to answer our questions as they came up. Additionally, the food tasting experience was a lot of fun, and made us even more excited for the wedding! Naturally, everything was DELICIOUS and our friends cannot stop raving about how good everything was. On the day-of our wedding, our onsite events operations manager, Lucia, was also a huge help, and alongside our day of coordinating team, it felt like we had an amazing crew supporting us, and ensuring that we felt relaxed and happy all day long. The space itself is also stunning, especially the skylight at the center of the atrium space, which became such a focal point for our wedding design as we envisioned everything coming together. Having access to the bridal suite behind their sake shop also made preparing before and after our ceremony seamless. The way everything came together at the venue, including flowers, signage, and our floor plan, was perfect, and everything we could have ever dreamed of. We cannot recommend this venue enough, and will always remember Rule of Thirds as a special place in our hearts where we got to start the rest of our lives together with friends and family all around us! Thank you!

Rule of Thirds exceeded all of our expectations! We used their event space to host our wedding of 130 guests. Julie & Mandy were communicative and responsive from our initial inquiry to the wedding day - and after!, and the staff on the day of the wedding was exceptional!! Our guests raved about not only the food (which many said it was the best wedding food they ever had!), but also the service. Many appreciated how quickly the food was served and how their wine glasses were always full! We felt so taken care of the whole day, and they also sent us home with leftovers and a bottle of sake so we could continue to bask in the wedding bliss the next day! Couldn't recommend them enough.

We cannot recommend Rule of Thirds enough after our April wedding. Our whole experience throughout the planning stages to the wedding day was amazing. We were essentially looking for a place where we could have good food and drinks and have fun with our family and friends, and Rule of Thirds delivered on every front. The space is absolutely beautiful and looks wonderful both with minimal or lots of additional decorations. The food and drinks are also PHENOMENAL, which was a huge priority for us. Julie and Mandy were our main contacts during the planning stages, and they were both extremely professional, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire process. We particularly appreciated their flexibility with accommodations for some of our guests. Our wedding day was SO much fun, and we had so many guests tell us it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. Everything went very smoothly, and every Rule of Thirds staff member we interacted with on the day of was extremely kind and helpful. Thank you so much!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Rule of Thirds as our wedding venue. From the start, their team was professional, responsive, and incredibly kind. They answered every question, accommodated all of our requests, and made the planning process so smooth and stress-free.

On the wedding day, everything ran seamlessly thanks to their organized and attentive staff. They were flexible with last-minute adjustments and ensured every detail was perfect. The venue itself is stunning—our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the space was!

If you’re looking for a venue with excellent communication, a warm and professional team, and a gorgeous setting, Rule of Thirds is an amazing choice. We highly recommend them to any couple planning their big day!
