Rule of Thirds 10000/10!

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!!

Five Stars, No Notes

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!

Oct wedding at Rule of Thirds

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
