Rabbi Sent on 07/02/2026What a rabbi says about Deity...
This was my first time serving as a Rabbi for a ceremony at Deity and I surely hope it will not be my last. What an absolutely lovely venue and truly fantastic team. The family and I could not have been better taken care of by each and every member of the Deity staff. Of particular interest for me is the building’s history as a former synagogue building. It felt like I was doing a historical “right” by leading a ceremony within that space, once again. -

Chelsea Sent on 06/13/2026Wonderful venue
We recently held our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah at Deity and couldn’t be more pleased with how the event turned out.
Having never hosted a large party before, we were initially drawn to Deity’s full-service model and the option to hold the ceremony in-house. From our first inquiry, communication was consistently quick and professional and the price was more than fair for the services offered.
We were particularly impressed by Caio, and his approach during our initial tour. He recognized that our daughter was shy about being the center of attention and suggested thoughtful ways to structure the ceremony and party to put her at ease. I truly appreciated how he included her in the conversation as an active participant in the planning process; it made a significant difference, and she left the tour feeling excited for her Bat Mitzvah for the first time.
The day of the event was seamless. Our guests were greeted warmly by security and door staff, and every employee we encountered was polite and hardworking. The food was excellent and we received numerous compliments throughout the afternoon. We also appreciated the flow of the event, specifically having the kids being served first so they could enjoy the dance floor while the adults had drinks and hors d’oeuvres upstairs.
Deity handled every detail perfectly, allowing us to step back and enjoy the day and our daughter’s success. We highly recommend Deity to anyone looking for an exceptional event space.

Christae Sent on 02/05/2026Deity was a dream come true for us!
We got married in October 2025 at Deity Events in downtown Brooklyn, and our experience was nothing short of magical. From the very first moment we toured the space in spring 2024, we knew it was the one. The venue is stunning — modern yet warm, with gorgeous architectural details and an effortlessly chic vibe that feels both elevated and welcoming.
Deity is truly a dream for couples planning a wedding in NYC. They host weddings from 50 to 150 guests, and we chose their 50-person micro wedding package. Their pricing is transparent and incredibly reasonable for NYC — packages range from $12K–$18K, and we added their breathtaking bridal suite for an additional $3,000, which was worth every penny. The suite is spectacular: two bathrooms, a shower, a full kitchen, a balcony, incredible photography space, a huge sleigh bed, a stunning tub, luxe velvet and leather furniture, exposed brick, and access to a rooftop with a hot tub and cold plunge. It made our wedding morning feel like a luxury retreat and gave us the most beautiful getting-ready photos.
What really sets Deity apart is that they are fully all-inclusive and tip-free, which made planning so much less stressful. They handled coat check, bartenders, staffing, a day-of coordinator, DJ/MC, room transitions between floors, passed appetizers, a excellent, generous family style seated dinner, and a full bar with fantastic food and drinks. They also offer beautiful decor basics including a gorgeous hexagon arch, candles, mirrors, table numbers, linens, chairs, and all flatware. This allowed us to personalize the day with our own invites, florals, attire, officiant, dessert, and additional vendors without feeling overwhelmed.
Our coordinator was absolutely phenomenal — calm, organized, and truly invested in making our day perfect. The owner, Caio, was lovely, warm, and incredibly professional throughout the entire process. We had several planning meetings, a detailed walk-through, and many email exchanges, and we always felt supported and at ease. We also loved the group tasting experience they offered with other couples getting married that month — it was such a thoughtful and fun touch.
All in, we were able to have our entire wedding in downtown Brooklyn for around $35K — about $20K to the venue and $15K for extras — which felt like an incredible value for the level of service, quality, and beauty we received.
Location-wise, Deity is unbeatable. Being so close to Barclays Center meant there were at least seven hotels within a seven-minute walk, making it super convenient for our out-of-town guests.
The flexibility to bring in our own vendors (outside of food and alcohol) made the entire process smooth, creative, and joyful. Truly, the whole experience was seamless from start to finish.
I would choose Deity Events a thousand times over and can only highly recommend for other couples to choose Deity so they can have an equally incredible experience, as well. -

Annie Sent on 01/17/2026Our Dream Wedding at Deity
We got married on October 25, 2025, and choosing Deity was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. We wanted our wedding to feel like Brooklyn - a little chic, a little charming, both unconventional and elegant - and Deity couldn’t have been a more perfect vibe and atmosphere. The all-inclusive package made planning the whole event a piece of cake. Caio, the owner, was really good about communication through the entire process (which was almost 2 years for us!), and the planning meetings we had were thorough and super organized. With 105 guests, the space felt pleasantly full but never over crowded.
The food and drinks were delicious and abundant and the chef was great about working with our guests’ allergies and dietary restrictions. The salmon and short rib were great entree choices, and we loved every single appetizer we picked for cocktail hour (we still dream about those potatoes). Dinner service was prompt, efficient, and we witnessed Caio checking in on all the tables to make sure they had enough to eat throughout the whole night. Deity did a great job of batch prepping drinks, they fulfilled our signature cocktail request perfectly, plus the watermelon margaritas that were waiting for us on the dance floor were strong and delicious!
Deity has the flow of weddings perfected. We both work in theater so our standards of good event planning are high, and Deity exceeded our expectations! At first glance, it may seem like a challenge to move a large number of guests between three different floors on a tight schedule, but the team manages it so well. They know exactly how to make each transition as smooth as possible, so no moment felt like people were being rushed into the next space or waiting too long for the next part of the night. They also did an excellent job helping with our older guests and guests with mobility issues - we had been nervous about the stairs between floors going in, but the staff was a huge help with making sure that everyone felt safe and comfortable traversing them.
We also highly recommend booking the getting ready suite. We did and it was so good having a home base for us to get ready, eat, have families and friends hang out, and take many photos before the ceremony started (plus there’s a hot tub on the roof)!
We felt incredibly well taken care of all day by Caio, Anastasia, and Matthew, and our guests have told us how great of an experience they had as well. We loved our Brooklyn fairy tale wedding at Deity and we’re so grateful to the Deity team for supporting our vision of our day! -

Shauntay Sent on 10/20/2025Deity NYC Understood the Assignment and Then Some!
We had the most beautiful wedding at Deity NYC on September 18th, 2025, and it truly exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, the team made us feel so cared for — every detail was handled with love and intention.
We were so honored that Caio, the owner, was there every step of the way. Not only did he keep the flow of the evening seamless (and wow, what an incredible MC he is!), but he went above and beyond — personally helping my husband’s grandmother, who uses a wheelchair, get to every floor of the venue. That moment alone showed just how deeply the Deity team cares about their couples and guests. The sign that says “Brooklyn Love” isn’t just décor — they truly live by it.
A special shoutout to Anastacia, who made me smile all day long and somehow managed to bustle my dress in under five minutes — she’s a total unicorn! Chef James created absolute perfection on every plate; our guests are still raving about the food. The Caviar Potato was an unforgettable showstopper!
Thank you also to Matt, who made every guest feel at home and coordinated our late-night bites — such a fun and delicious touch. The bartenders absolutely understood the assignment (let’s just say everyone’s dance moves improved after visiting them 😂).
And DJ BenHa — you are one of a kind! Every song hit perfectly, our requests were honored, and the dance floor never stopped. It was pure joy from start to finish.
Deity is truly a gem — from the stunning multi-level design to the heart of the people who run it. Our guests were completely wowed as they experienced each unique floor throughout the night. We can’t wait to come back to celebrate more love and milestones in this magical space.
Highly, highly recommend Deity NYC for any elegant, love-filled event. Thank you for helping us create the best day of our lives! ❤️ -

Best. Wedding. Ever.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BEST. WEDDING. EVER.
We just had our wedding here and it was everything we could’ve asked for. We’ve heard from so many of our guests that it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to and that it ran so smoothly. There were so many great things, but if I had to name a few, these would be it:
The getting ready suite:
If you’re even thinking about getting it, DO IT. It made the morning so calm and stress-free not having to go anywhere after getting ready. The suite is gorgeous and the photos that came from it were unreal. It was big enough for everyone to get ready in and we had access to it starting at 10am, which was a total lifesaver. We had a small issue with the AC and Anastasia was immediately there to handle it, honestly shows how well the venue is run even when something unexpected pops up.
Anastasia (day-of coordinator):
When I tell you I turned my brain off, I mean it. I was just a bride that day and did whatever she told me to do , everything went perfectly. We didn’t have to think about a single thing. She made sure everything we wanted actually happened (no one coming in after the ceremony started, enforcing our black dress code, seating exactly how we asked, etc). The ceremony rehearsal she led went so well that the real thing flowed perfectly — even the music timing for our walk down the aisle was spot on. She bustled my dress, made sure we had drinks and water, took amazing photos and videos, and somehow was everywhere at once. Anastasia, thank you. You made it possible for me to actually relax and enjoy my wedding! I trusted you completely and you delivered beyond expectations.
The food and drinks:
Oh my god, the food!! We had the short ribs and the salmon, and literally everyone was talking about how good it was. The short ribs melted in our mouths and the mashed potatoes were so good. It was also so nice that we got a few minutes alone right after the ceremony to eat and try everything.
The venue:
Deity is already so beautiful that we barely needed any flowers or décor. If you’ve been planning a wedding, you know how much flowers can cost lmao being able to let the venue shine on its own was such a win.
Just good to know (not negatives at all!)
We wouldn’t change anything about our wedding — it was the best day of our lives. But here are two things that might help other couples plan better:
DJ Benhameen:
The music was great and everyone had such a good time. The only small thing was that a few of our must-play songs (especially cultural ones I listed for me and my siblings) didn’t end up being played. During the wedding, I had an amazing time and loved every song, but looking back I was a little sad about those not making it in. If you go with him, just make sure to really emphasize that your must-play list is a priority. He’s super talented, and the transitions were great — it’s just something I wish I’d known going into our call with him. You’ll still have an awesome time regardless.
End-of-night clean-up:
Not a complaint at all, just a heads up. At the end of the night, you’re emotional, excited, and probably a little drunk , you’re not thinking about packing things up. We were handed stuff as we were walking out and thankfully my in-laws were there to take it for us. The venue does tell you ahead of time to organize before leaving, which helps, but if there was an option to pick up stuff the next day it would’ve made things even easier (though I totally get that other events happen).
If you’re thinking about having your wedding at Deity, just do it. You’ll get a beautiful space, amazing food, everything will run perfectly, and you’ll feel so cared for the whole day. It really was the best day of our lives — I wouldn’t change a thing -

Blake Sent on 09/04/2025Amazing Staff, Beautiful Venue, Unforgettable Day
We couldn’t have been happier with our experience at Deity. The space is really eclectic in the best way. It balances elegance with a little Brooklyn quirk, especially in the cocktail hour room, which all of our guests loved.
From start to finish, the planning process was simple and straightforward. You have one big meeting where everything gets laid out. After that, Anastasia, Caio, and the rest of the team were always quick to respond to emails when we needed to make adjustments. They were professional, organized, and made sure both we and our families felt taken care of throughout the day. Having almost everything in-house (e.g., everything less flowers, cake, photography) also made the whole process less stressful. Compared to other venues we looked at, Deity felt like a value and a way to make our guests feel like they were having an "authentic" NYC/Brooklyn wedding.
The food and drinks were another highlight. The short rib was especially memorable, and the bar staff worked with us to create custom cocktails and pre-batch them so no one was stuck waiting in line. The DJ was flexible with our specific music tastes and vision for the evening and collaborated seamlessly when we brought in a drag queen for dinner, which turned into a huge hit with our guests.
I’d also recommend booking the couple’s suite. It gave us a place to relax, get ready, and even host a pool party that added a really fun element to the day! Relaxing with our wedding guests earlier in the day was a really great way to connect with folks.
Overall, Deity delivered on every level. We’re grateful to Anastasia, Caio, and the whole team for making our wedding day everything we hoped it would be. -

Danny Sent on 08/15/2025If you’re looking for a sign to book the Deity as your wedding venue, let this review be it
My wife and I could not have dreamed of a better NYC venue. It combined the charm and the convenience that we feel living in this city every day.
The Deity is a one stop shop and the most well oiled machine. Our wedding was the largest sit down dinner they had ever had at the venue and, given the challenge we imposed, everything was executed so seamlessly.
We loved how everything was all in one place and so did our guests. Both wedding parties used the bridal suite to get dressed and ready. Additionally, maneuvering through the venue was so fun because every change in level felt like a different chapter of the night, each one better than the next.
We loved how we took all of our photos on-site because of how aesthetically beautiful the venue was. There is no need to waste time going to elsewhere.
Long story short, if you’re looking for a beautiful venue, in a great area, with staff that communicates, is upfront about costs, and makes you feel like royalty on your wedding day, the Deity is for you! -

Min Sent on 08/08/2025Stress-Free Wedding
Our wedding was on November 2024 and Caio and his team at Deity had made it such an easy process! Let’s rewind a bit to when my wife and I were venue shopping. We had initially stumbled upon Deity through their amazing reviews and reached out to Caio to see if we can take a tour of the venue. His response time was faster than any of the other places that I’ve reached out to and he has been so accommodating to my schedule to tour. Upon touring the place, it was such a “Brooklyn vibe” with the exposed brick in the loft as well as the amazing cellar and dance floor. Its unique structure was also a great selling point for us as all of the places were isolated on a specific floor. The highlight was certainly the wedding suite on the top floor! After our tour, we knew that this was the place for our wedding. Initially, we were planning a micro wedding but having physically looked at the venue, we opted for the all-inclusive wedding along with the bridal suite option. Honestly, the prices were too good not to go for it. Caio and his team thankfully had the exact date we wanted for our wedding.
Planning for the wedding was such a breeze thanks to Caio and his team. They would periodically reach out to coordinate the wedding and any questions I had would prompt an immediate response from his team. Caio’s team coordinated everything with my additional vendors and honestly made planning so easy. All I had to do was just tell his team what I wanted for the wedding.
Inching closer to the day of, we had scheduled a food tasting with Chef James so we had a better idea of what to pick for the menu. If you have the budget for it, certainly opt for the tasting. Chef James is a master at what he does. Every single plate of food that was presented was meticulously explained and not to mention delicious! One of the biggest things that guests care about at a wedding is the food and let me tell you, the food was delicious. We had our reservations of whether or not there would be enough food given it was family-style, but all of our guests were well fed and full. After the wedding, our guests wouldn’t stop talking about the food!
On the day of the wedding, we had access to the venue in the morning to bring our outfits to the wedding suite. This area was great as it provided the perfect space for us, along with friends and family to get ready. Hair and makeup were all done in the wedding suite prior to the wedding. Guests upon arrival were directed by staff and for welcome drinks and taken to the loft prior to the ceremony. After the ceremony, we were directed back to the wedding suite for a chance for the two of us to enjoy some snacks and take a breather while guests were enjoying cocktail hour. Halfway throughout cocktail hour, we were guided back to mingle with guests and then went back upstairs for the reception. After enjoying a wonderful meal, it was time to party down at the cellar. DJ BenHa had such a great playlist and guests enjoyed a wonderful night of dancing. Plus, the open bar concept and specialty cocktails curated by the bartending team were such a hit. Even to this day, when I speak to guests, they can’t stop talking about our wedding.
If you want an affordable, all-inclusive, all-planned out wedding, Deity is your bet. Caio and his team will ensure that your wedding will be stress-free and a breeze.

Chris Sent on 08/07/2025The first best day of the rest of your life together
We discovered Deity while searching for a unique, character-filled venue that could comfortably host our 100-person wedding—and we’re so glad we did. Deity is a fantastic option for small to mid-sized weddings, especially if you want something different from the typical catering hall.
One of the biggest perks? All-inclusive pricing—gratuity included. Rates are based on the day of the week and season, but everything is laid out clearly with no surprise fees. The venue includes the ceremony space (which is transformed throughout the evening into the dining area), cocktail bar/lounge, and basement dance floor, as well as their in-house DJ.
You only pay extra if you want to add the on-site penthouse and rooftop (highly recommend—it was totally worth it), or upgrade your food and beverage package (premium liquor or open bar). Overall, the pricing is transparent and stress-free, which made budgeting so much easier.
From the moment we first contacted Deity, the team was incredibly responsive and helpful. We started our planning journey with Anna, who gave us a thorough tour and patiently answered every question we threw her way. Later on, we transitioned to working with the owner, Caio, who seamlessly continued the process.
Deity keeps some planning elements flexible, so you’ll handle your own florals, desserts, photography, and makeup, allowing you to personalize your day however you want.
The venue itself has a rich history—it was once a synagogue, then other businesses, and now an event space. They’ve preserved many of the original architectural features, which give the space a warm, intimate charm you won’t find in a standard banquet hall. Uniquely New York. Just note: it’s an older building, so there’s no elevator.
One of the highlights of planning was the tasting dinner with Chef James. It was not only a delicious evening but also a great way to meet some of the staff who’d be working the event. The menu options were one of the reasons we chose Deity—and the food more than delivered. Cocktail hour and dinner were phenomenal, with flavors that exceeded our expectations.
The day-of coordination team made us feel like absolute rockstars. Their attention to detail and calm professionalism ensured everything ran smoothly. This team is truly invested in making your wedding the best it can be.
If you opt for the penthouse suite, you’ll have access from the morning until after the ceremony—a perfect space for photos, especially if the weather doesn’t cooperate (it rained on our day, so this was a lifesaver). There's plenty of room for getting ready, plus an outdoor hot tub and ice plunge on the rooftop, which adds a fun, relaxing touch.
The ceremony space itself feels cozy and intimate, ideal if that’s the vibe you’re going for. The flow of the night is a little different than traditional venues—dinner is served first, followed by dancing—but it worked perfectly for us. We chose to do our cake cutting and dessert in the basement, which was a fun way to transition into the party.
Our DJ, BenHa Meen, was amazing—he kept the energy up all night and read the room perfectly. People danced until the very end!
Final Thoughts
We had an incredible experience at Deity and wouldn’t change a thing. The venue, the food, the team—everything came together beautifully. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the space and the food, and we’re still glowing from how perfect it all felt.
If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind venue with charm, character, and a truly supportive team—Deity is it.

Perfect Brooklyn Wedding Venue
All expectations were far exceeded for our wedding day at Deity! We wanted a chic New York aesthetic and the venue delivered on every level, literally. Each floor is unique, functional, in good condition, and has so much to offer for pictures. Deity includes almost everything you need for the entire experience and great 3rd party vendor connections for what remains. We did not need a wedding planner. Caio, Anastasia (our day of coordinator), and the rest of the amazing staff took the best care of us leading up to and on the day of the wedding. We were treated like royalty and really felt special. DJ and music kept the dance floor active the entire night. Finally, we had HIGH expectations for the food and cocktails after our tasting. And even these were exceeded. Everything was delicious and you can trust quality for each of your guests will be as good as your initial tasting experience. Chef James is one of a kind. We can’t rave about Deity enough. -

Jeffrey Sent on 05/04/2025Amazing owner, staff, venue, vibes...couldn't have asked for more
From our first interaction the kindness from Caio, Anna, Anastasia and the rest of the Deity staff there was a sense of genuine kindness and that continued through the end of our wedding day and it meant the world to us. Modern day weddings can be such a headache but ours was not and that was because of these people. Everyone involved in our process made everything so easy. From touring the venue, to the communication about details, to helping organize and execute how our day flowed, to the AMAZING food we really can't thank them enough. We did a small, private wedding on the roof followed by a big party and it was the first they really ever did like that but they nailed it. The way they made sure it was personal and what we wanted was f***en incredible. The staff on the day of the wedding were incredible and made everyone feel so welcome. They made our day so special. These people care about the event but they care about the reasoning behind the event even more.
Also. Chef James. Incredible. We’ve been to some weddings where the food is so average, but his food was raved about. Everyone told us that the food was the best at any wedding they've been to and we have to agree with them. We did multiple hor d’oeurves and a standing dinner and he crushed it.
Also, they provided DJ Ben who has a meeting with you before about your vibe, song selection, etc. He crushed it. People said it was the most energetic dance floor they've been on
Lastly, something personal about the owner, Caio. My wife’s grandmother was 91 at the time of the wedding. We had the wedding on the rooftop that is up a spiral staircase. He personally helped her up and down the stairs, made sure she was fed, had a seat etc. He, and his staff, was laser focused on making sure she was accommodated the whole evening. It speak volumes about him as a person.
If you want a NY wedding Deity is it.

Robin Sent on 04/23/2025Memories that will last a lifetime- our daughter’s bat mitzvah reception at Deity!
What a wonderful, special day and what a wonderful special team at Deity. We were fortunate enough to have Deity suggested to us as a great “one stop shop” by an event planner but they are much more than that- committed to make your day exactly how you want it to be! The level of care throughout both the planning process and on the day of the event were exceptional.
The beautiful venue is laid out over three distinct spaces, each having a great Brooklyn vibe (exposed brick, great lighting, stained glass, greenery and dark woods): We used the bottom floor for dancing and where the kids immediately went for their own appropriate kid/ teen menu, while the adults were greeted on the main floor for cocktail hour with delicious passed hors d’ouvres and then the top floor was for the sit-down lunch (this floor is also typically used for ceremonies if having on-site). We loved the three separate areas, which not only gave a unique experience but also allowed the kids to be as loud as they wanted to be while the adults were able to enjoy and hear each other 😊, and then to celebrate all together for dancing and dessert. We had done a tasting beforehand (they had mentioned most people do the tasting before a wedding but we wanted to as well and glad we did), enjoyed meeting Chef James and the bartneder and the food was even more delicious on the big day!
The staff and the owner, Caio, were very attentive. We used Alive Events for the music, photo booth, some swag and DJ, specifically Pat, who many people commented was fantastic (because he was!). Pat (and Alive Events) has done several events at Deity, so that can only enhance the seamless flow of the event. We chose to bring in flowers and used Zuzu’s petals, as well as some pastries from Mia’s Bakery and our favorite cake from Cousin John’s bakery. Deity has a list of great vendors but will also happily work with yours. When the event was over the staff carefully packed everything up for us and came out to our car and helped load it up. It was just a beautiful day and I can’t say enough great things about Deity. Thank you Caio, Chef James and the Deity team!

Highly recommend!!
Deity hosted the perfect dream wedding for us. Wedding planning is no simple feat and Anna and Caio took the stress right out of it. Amazing NYC views from the bridal suite/rooftop, a beautiful dance floor and delicious food and cocktails that our guests still talk about 6 months later (some of the best Salmon and Short Rib we’ve ever had), we couldn’t recommend booking Deity enough.
We also had the pleasure of checking out the new Supper Club on Valentine’s Day and it brought us right back. Incredible prix fixe menu with something to offer for everyone, we’re looking forward to going back ASAP!
For the pricing, convenience and attentiveness of its staff, it’s a no-brainer to book your event at Deity and check out the new Supper Club! -

Deity was the perfect place to celebrate my daughter’s bat mitzvah! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue. The unique three-floor layout was ideal—it allowed us to keep different parts of the event separate while still feeling connected. Hosting the ceremony, dinner, and party all in one place made everything so much easier, and having a dedicated space for the kids to dance while the adults enjoyed their own area was just perfect.
Caio and the entire team were incredible. They guided us through the sometimes overwhelming world of planning a bat mitzvah, helping us focus on what truly mattered and making sure everything ran smoothly. Their expertise, warmth, and attention to detail made all the difference, and we felt so supported every step of the way.
The party itself was absolutely amazing—our family and friends are still talking about it! We are so grateful to Deity for making this milestone so special, and we will be back when it’s our younger daughter’s turn to celebrate! -

Laurel Sent on 11/29/2024Weddings Made Easy at Deity
I couldn’t have dreamed up a better wedding venue than Deity. The space is stunningly gorgeous and was perfectly sized for our 130-person guest count. Each level (the lounge, loft, and cellar) were expertly tailored to the events they hosted, and somehow comfortably accommodated all of our guests while still feeling cozy and intimate. The other aspects of the all-inclusive package were just as impressive – I don’t know that I’ve ever had better food and drinks at a wedding, and DJ Ben kept the dance floor packed the whole night. But what really sets Deity apart is the service of their staff. Caio and his team do a fantastic job from your first venue tour to the final wedding sendoff. They are transparent, communicative, efficient, and know how to throw one hell of a party. Each staff member that we encountered treated our wedding with such care and attention to detail, and we’ll never be able to thank them enough for the beautiful wedding they gave us. -

Deity was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Anna and her team were clear, kind, and incredibly sweet in their communication. They kept everything running smoothly and on schedule, preventing any issues and ensuring our wedding was the smoothest I've ever attended. The space was gorgeous, highly organized, and truly unique - the space was transformed into a stunning, one-of-a-kind backdrop for our special day. The food was also delicious, and the chef was so gracious in accommodating our requests. We are beyond grateful to Anna and the entire Deity team for making our wedding day perfect in every way. -

Stephanie Sent on 08/24/2024Best All-Inclusive Venue in NYC
Our wedding at Deity Brooklyn in June 2024 was absolutely magical! I would 100% recommend Deity to anyone looking for a unique, all-inclusive wedding venue in NYC. From the up-front pricing information, to the first tour with Caio, to securing our date, coming in for a menu tasting and having our planning meeting with Anna and Kat - every step of the way reinforced my confidence that choosing Deity as our wedding venue was the right choice! The space is a beautiful historic building that's been converted to a four story (plus rooftop!) party venue. I loved that Deity provides all the dinnerware, linens and candles, it really limited the decisions we had to make so we could focus on personal touches for our day. We wanted our wedding to feel like an amazing house party, which Deity perfectly delivered. Anna was an incredible coordinator, so on top of everything and thoughtful. The day-of team ran everything so smoothly - I honestly wasn't stressed for a moment, because everyone was organized, calm and clearly loves what they do. The chef and DJ (part of the all-inclusive pricing!) were also amazing. Our guests are still raving about the delicious family-style dinner from the mind of Chef James; and how DJ BenHaMeen read the room and kept us dancing and singing until the wee hours of the morning. Literally, the best day ever.

What A Gift Deity Has Been!
Deity was the most random blessing we could have possibly received. When we got engaged, we were unsure whether or not we wanted a full on wedding or to go to city hall and have a dinner with our family and friends instead. It took months of scrolling and searching the internet for a venue that did not look basic, but also would offer us the elegance, ease, and support we were looking for without the heft price point that most NY venues tend to have. It was when we decided on cityhall that we, by pure chance, happened to get an ad for Deity and in that moment, we knew that would be where we got married.
From the moment we stepped into the venue for our tour, we were floored at how stunning the views felt. The tree in the middle blew us away. Everything was dimly lit, but not so much that you couldn't see. It was a vibe. A cross between a fancy cocktail bar and an elegant event space. It was everything we were looking for. The ceremony space felt open and warm. The bridal suite was GORGEOUS! It was the most ideal getting ready space ever. My girls were floored when they walked in and realized this is where they were going to spend the next few hours before the ceremony.
We were working with Anna throughout our two years of planning this wedding and she was amazing. Responsive, resourceful, we could tell she knew exactly what she was doing. We were sad when we learned that she would not be there on our actual wedding, but when we met Caio and Anastasia, we were reminded that the team at Deity is truly exceptional. These guys worked so hard to make sure everything went according to plan. It was cool to see them do their thing. You can tell they love what they do. We could feel how much they really wanted us to enjoy ourselves and not worry about a thing. They even gave us a card and champagne bottle as a wedding gift at the end of the night. Friends, I cannot tell you enough how much I loved it there. I wish I could relieve it all over again. Do yourself a favor and just book them. They're going to make your day so special.
Also, shout out to Chef James. Definitely get the short rib. Thank us later ;) -

My husband and I were looking for a high value, reasonably-priced venue in the Brookly area and we found it in DEITY. We were immediately impressed by DEITY wedding packages. We were able to find a package that best fit our vision and budget. It’s really hard to imagine that we could have gotten a better deal for our money anywhere else, especially when you consider that the tax is already baked in upfront without any hidden surprises.
DEITY is amazing, we couldn’t have picked a better venue for our small and intimate wedding. The whole staff was very friendly and very accommodating, Anna our event coordinator was always very helpful and guided us with any questions we had.
The food was excellent, the table setup was perfect with the family style setting. The Chef was so hospitable, he stopped by to make sure we were pleased with the food.
The bottom line is, on the day of our event, DEITY showed up and executed flawlessly, from the decor, to the food, to the event management. We have been getting non-stop compliments from our friends and family about how awesome the wedding was and how much fun they had. Can’t thank the team from DEITY enough for making our day so memorable. If we had to choose DEITY time and time again, we unequivocally will!

Larissa Sent on 07/02/2024Amazing! 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. -

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! -

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. -

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! -

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! -

Kieu-Nhi Sent on 05/13/2024Our 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!). -

Emilee Sent on 12/28/2023Absolutely 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. -

Chaarvi Sent on 12/14/2023Beautiful 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!

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! -

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. -

Katherine Sent on 12/03/2023Perfect 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! ❤️ -

Talya Sent on 11/25/2023Perfect 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. -

Piyali Sent on 11/10/2023Believe 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! -

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! -

Anna Sent on 10/21/2023BEST 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. -

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. -

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. -

We got married at Deity in May 2022, but wanted to share our experience there. The staff at Deity made our day one to remember. Deity is a lovely venue with a surprise on each floor. The vibe is so cozy, warm, romantic, and welcoming. We were not looking for a typical catering hall wedding venue, and no other place we visited came close to Deity.
Anna, the wedding coordinator, was simply incredible. She is fantastic at helping brides, grooms, and everyone in-between create their visions. She answered every email I sent and every request I suggested.
The food tasting we had at Deity was nothing short of terrific, and the food the day-of was no different. We chose the family-style dining and it was a huge hit with our guests - everyone was able to try a little bit of this and that. Dessert was not included, which was fine for us.
Deity offers a DJ at no additional cost, a vendor they have worked with many times in the past. As we got closer to the wedding, we felt a little bit nervous about this. However, we were wildly impressed with Ben - he definitely picked up on the music we were looking for. I would pay for his DJ services independently, outside of Deity... that's how much we liked him!
The bridal suite is absolutely beautiful. Though it is not included in the pricing of the venue, we felt it was worth paying for (especially for pictures, hair, and makeup). I do wish Deity would permit the couple and bridal party to use the suite for the duration of the night, since it's a cost the couple opts to pay additionally for.
We had 117 guests attend, but felt 100 would better suit the venue for space reasons.
It's worth mentioning that while we were venue shopping, we felt like there were costs for every little thing. Deity does not surprise you with costs; there were NO hidden secrets, unexpected surprises, or add-ons for every aspect of a wedding where it becomes overwhelming. The costs that we received in December 2021 were the costs that we paid in May 2022.
I wish we could do this day over again and again for an eternity. Thank you to the Deity staff that made it all possible! -

A beautiful, full-service, fun venue
We had the most fantastic time getting married at Deity! We were immediately impressed after taking the tour. So much is included in the reasonable price, the interior is beautiful, and the get-ready suite and rooftop is a major plus. We were not disappointed.
We knew we were going to have a small wedding with a bit of a complicated intercultural ceremony. Anna worked patiently with us for months to pin down every moment of the day. It was also very easy to plan using their recommended vendors (Stonefruit Botanical and Le Image), since they were already familiar with the space.
We made so many precious memories on the day-of — despite the torrential rain! The ceremony went perfectly, the food and drinks and dancing were great, and our guests had a fabulous time. The two of us had a lot of fun, too
We were a bit sad that the rain stopped us from taking pictures on the rooftop. But later in the night, Anna noticed that the rain had let up, and took us up for some portraits. That was so thoughtful! She also made sure we had a private moment after the ceremony to eat and catch our breaths, which felt magical after such a whirlwind of an evening.
Overall it was an amazing experience. We are deeply grateful to Anna and the whole team for giving us such a beautiful day. We highly recommend Deity! -

The Best Wedding Venue!!
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Deity and were blown away by the entire experience. From the moment we stepped foot into the venue, we knew we had found the perfect place to celebrate our special day.
The first thing that struck us was the venue's unique ambiance. Deity combines old-world charm with modern elegance. The beautifully restored 150-year-old building showcases exquisite architectural details, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere that instantly won our hearts. The carefully curated decor and tasteful lighting enhanced the overall aesthetic, setting the stage for a truly magical wedding celebration.
The staff at Deity were an absolute delight to work with. From the initial planning stages to the day of the event, their professionalism and attention to detail were incredible. Our day of coordinator, Anna, was incredibly knowledgeable, organized, and accommodating. She worked closely with us to understand our vision and executed it flawlessly. The entire team, including the waitstaff and bartenders, were friendly, efficient, and went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcomed and well taken care of. A day of coordinator can either make or break your wedding, and Anna is the BEST in the business – our entire wedding party still talks about her as a highlight of the day!! You won’t find anyone like her!
One of the standout features of Deity is its versatility. The venue offers multiple spaces, allowing for a seamless flow throughout the event, including getting ready in the suite (worth every penny!). We started with a heartfelt ceremony in the stunning Loft space, followed by a cocktail hour in the speakeasy-esque bar. The transition between spaces was effortless (which was our biggest concern with the multi-level venue), and our guests were in awe of the seamless coordination. The highlight of the evening was the reception in the Cellar, a hidden gem with its exposed brick walls and disco ball. It provided the perfect setting for an unforgettable evening of dancing.
Another aspect that impressed us was the culinary experience at Deity. The food was absolutely divine! The in-house chef is incredibly talented and our guests raved about the delicious hors d'oeuvres and main courses. We chose the standard family-style option and are glad we did – guests loved the ability to try all of the main dishes and sides.
Many other reviews mention that Deity is all-inclusive – this helped contain costs, have a seamless experience, and reduced the number of choices we had to make. The DJ being included was fantastic – we were a bit worried about not being able to choose our own, but Ben was amazing during planning and on the day of the wedding. For the vendors we did need (photographer, videographer, florist, dessert) we took advantage of Deity’s suggestions and were thrilled with the quality of each vendor recommended (Photography: Robert Carlo, Videography: Le Image, Florist: Charlotte Taylor at Floral Heights, Empire Cake, CityCakes).
To sum it up, our wedding at Deity in Brooklyn was an absolute dream come true. The combination of the venue's breathtaking ambiance, attentive staff, exceptional cuisine, and seamless execution made for an unforgettable experience. If you're searching for a wedding venue that exudes charm, sophistication, and provides top-notch service, Deity should be at the top of your list. We wholeheartedly recommend Deity to anyone seeking a memorable and enchanting wedding day. Thank you Anna, Caio, and the Deity team!!! -

Jessica Sent on 04/16/2023Hosted Our Wedding
Deity and their staff were absolutely phenomenal in helping plan and execute our wedding day. Anna prioritized my husband Luis and I in making sure that the day was moving smoothly and unfolding as we wanted it to.
Deity not only hosted our wedding but also had previously hosted the wedding of my brother and sister-in-law. When we decided on Deity, the team spent months chatting with us to help us nail down all the details. They also prioritized the things that mattered to us and helped us make it happen- from the personal touches of a mariachi to our polaroid guest book to the delicious food to the wine we picked (which mattered a lot to my sommelier husband!).
Above all, the staff led by Anna that day are amazing humans! When COVID impacted a number of our guests being able to travel in for the wedding, Anna handled a fragile day with such care and patience. She was as protective of me and my husband as our wedding party was. She also helped coordinate with my friends to find unique ways to incorporate some of my family who were unable to attend because of the pandemic.
Deity truly helped make one of the most important days in our lives memorable and magical. When we think back to our day, we always smile and Deity had a huge part in that.

Best Venue in NYC
My sisters were the ones who found Deity after a few disappointing weeks of contacting venues that felt like wedding factories that didn't actually care about us. From the first email we received from Deity, we knew they were different. We scheduled a walk through with the owner Caio and left feeling so elated that we couldn't wait to confirm a date. Caio wasn't like the other people we met with. He was very honest, kind, and we could tell he generally cared to make our wedding one of the best days of our lives. The space itself is a beautiful historic building with a ton of character and didn't feel like every other wedding venue. It was exactly what we were looking for. We made a date night of the food and drink tasting and literally had a blast with the other couples there. We rented the bridal suite to get ready in and take family photos. My husband and a few friends spent the morning swimming in the pool on the roof until it was time for them to get ready.
The party itself was absolutely perfect. Everything ran so smoothly and on time. Our DJ was literally amazing, the food was incredible and we even had a chance to thank the chef in person which my husband appreciated as he used to work in a kitchen. Anna, the day of coordinator, was on top of everything and helped us with all of our questions and timeline in the months leading up to our party. The day of she made sure we had everything we needed and that we stayed fed and hydrated. We could not have asked for a better person to be there for us and she was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Our families loved the venue and thought it was such a "unique and cool place to have a wedding". They still talk about how much fun they had at Deity, including my 94yr old grandma who still talks about how it was the best wedding she's been to. We knew we made the right decision booking Deity the day we met with Caio, but looking back months later we feel so lucky to have found such an amazing venue and so incredibly grateful to Caio, Anna, and the whole team at Deity. -

Deity exceeded our expectations!
Deity was the absolute best choice for our wedding venue. From our first communication with Anna the coordinator we knew it was the place for us. We loved that Deity was almost entirely all inclusive, We just needed to book our florist, photographer and cake/ desserts. We were relieved we did not have to worry about booking a DJ since it was also included at Deity. DJ Ben was great, exactly what we hoped for. Our guests are still raving about how great the food was. Unfortunately we hardly ate any of it, even though Anna and the staff arranged a platter of food for us to enjoy while we had a private moment after the ceremony. We were just too excited to eat, we so regret not just relaxing and sampling all of the amazing food. My husband and I were understandably nervous on the day of our wedding, we would have been lost without Anna. Everyone at Deity is amazing but Anna is truly special. She is unflappable, there is no problem she can't find a solution for. My parents are still talking about how exceptional she was. We are so grateful that we found Deity! We're already looking for an excuse to have another event there. We will cherish the memories from our wedding forever! -

Nicholas Sent on 01/08/2023Stop the search you’ve found your venue!
After spending years searching for wedding venues in multiple cities, when we found Deity online we thought it was too good to be true. Weddings are expensive and in our research we found way too many venues that would nickel and dime you for everything. One of the things we loved the most about Deity was the all-inclusive cost with no hidden fees. We scheduled a tour with Caio and fell in love with the venue. Deity's is a beautiful, multi-floor venue, that is filled with NYC charm. We really appreciated the wedding flow across the different levels as the night progressed. The downstairs dance floor helped keep our guests dancing all night long. We rented the bridal suite and it was the perfect space to get ready in. We did the first look on the roof, and then we took a trolley with the bridal party to take pictures in Dumbo. The food is also amazing! We did the tasting and left very full and with leftovers. Guest kept raving about how good the food was! The bar and its staff were a hit with the guests as well and provided top notch service to all. Anna, Deity's wedding coordinator, and Caio were a pleasure to work with both professionally and personally throughout the wedding planning process. We had a few planning meetings leading up to the wedding to discuss the details with Anna. We are happy to say that these meetings helped ensure everything on our wedding day went according to plan. On the day of the wedding, Anna + Team did all the behind the scenes magic such as coordinating with the florist, setting up the dessert table, décor, etc. so we could enjoy the day. Anna has superb attention to detail. For example, the bride had lipstick on her teeth right as she was about to walk down the aisle and Anna quickly gave her a tissue to wipe it off. The effort Anna put into preparation beforehand helped ensure that the flow of our wedding day ran perfectly, and it did! We couldn't recommend this venue enough. -

Jason Sent on 01/07/2023Party Time!!!!!
Deity was the perfect place to hold our special day! When my husband and I got engaged, we knew we wanted to get married shortly after. This meant we only had a year to plan our entire wedding. With help from Anna and Caio at Deity, the entire wedding planning process was a breeze. They provided many beautiful in-house details for our wedding, gave us an incredible vendors list, and worked with us to curate an event that was personalized to us. Being vegan, it was incredibly important for us to have a fully vegan wedding. While Deity had never done a vegan wedding, they were beyond excited to expand their menu to accommodate us. The food ended up being a HUGE hit! The multiple levels of the space gave the guests the ability to find the perfect place to party and enjoy the night, whether it was downstairs dancing with the incredible DJ provided by Deity, or upstairs in the chic and elegant lounge enjoying a delicious cocktail. Our guests had so much fun, they are still talking about the electric energy of the space 6 months later.
We want to give a special shout out to Anna, the wedding coordinator, who made us feel at-ease during what could've been an incredibly stressful day. One of our favorite memories from our wedding is when Anna provided a moment for us in the bridal suite after the ceremony. She had celebratory drinks and a sampling of our passed hors d'oeurvres, giving us time to celebrate our marriage privately. This level of care continued throughout the entire evening, making us feel supported in a way that put all of our focus on celebrating with friends and family.
Thank you Deity for providing us with the wedding of a lifetime! -

we had a blast
We just had our wedding on 12.18.22 and had a blast- we’d like to thank Caio, Anna and their staff for making our day so special- we could not be more impressed. From the start of the planning process right until the day of, Deity accommodated everything we needed to ensure our wedding day was perfect. The food was terrific, the chef accommodated our preferences, Anna was on point with every single aspect of the process throughout the day, and Deity staff was warm, experienced, and attended well to our guests.

Unique Venue, Amazing Service - the Perfect Choice for our Wedding!
Looking back on our Wedding at Deity brings a smile to our face every single time we think about it. It was a perfect day filled with love and joy, with so much of that being made possible by the amazing staff at Deity. The moment we walked in we knew it was the perfect venue for our Brooklyn wedding. We met Caio at our first visit and knew we were going to be in great hands. The entire planning process from communication on the details leading up to the day, to the drop off of everything the day before - was all completely seamless and Caio and Anna were so supportive and helpful.
The wedding was a total success and every guest told us how they loved the delicious food, and the amazing the service! Many guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Emily, our day-of-coordinator, was there for everything and anything we needed, going so far as to even make sure every one of our guests took a picture for our polaroid guestbook!
The Bridal Suite was gorgeous (and huge!), and I’m so glad we booked it for the day. It made getting ready feel so special and the pictures taken there were beautiful. We loved how the wedding felt unique with the transitions between rooms for different parts of the wedding. The venue had its own natural charm and aesthetic that barely needed much decoration. The basement was the perfect setting for the most epic dance party, we had so much fun!
Thank you Deity for making our wedding so memorable!

Kevin Sent on 12/10/2022Deity - Thank you for giving us the wedding we dreamt about!
Deity was the perfect place to host our wedding! We were hoping to host about 80-100 guests and had six months to plan so the stress was HIGH when we started the process. With that said, we fell in love with Deity as soon as we saw it and meeting Anna, Deity's coordinator, cemented our decision to choose Deity as she answered our barrage of questions patiently. So WHY Deity? The SPACE is unique; you get three floors to host your wedding, each with a different vibe so your guests are entertained throughout the wedding. The FOOD and DRINKS were fantastic, definitely do the pre-wedding tasting and think about doing signature cocktails too. You MUST get the BRIDAL SUITE as it will make your life infinitely easier and we spent the majority of our pre-wedding festivities there. Finally - did we mention it's ALL-INCLUSIVE? AKA you don't have to keep track and pay a thousand vendors. Your fee includes not just the space, but also the food, drinks, furniture/décor, cake cutting, DJ and the priceless advice of Anna (coordinator) and Caio (owner). NO HIDDEN FEES, NO SHADYNESS, ONLY A TEAM that will help you design and have the wedding of your dreams. My wife and I are still riding our post-wedding high and hope many of you will get to experience Deity as well! -

Victoria Sent on 11/23/2022Absolutely Fantastic!
When my now husband and I first got engaged, we knew we wanted to have a simple wedding with our closest friends and family. I come from a large Italian family and my husband comes from a smaller Puerto-Rican family so between my family, his family and our friends it was around 80 people. Most venues on Long Island wanted at least 100-125 unless it was a weekday wedding, which we did not want to do. We found Deity by luck and we could not have been happier with our decision. The owner, Caio, is super down to earth and dedicated to ensuring that all of the events hosted at the venue go smoothly and as the hosts intend. Caio responded to our request for information super quickly and was very clear and transparent about what Deity was able to offer - this was extremely helpful and comforting. It made us feel like we could trust him and his staff with our special day and would know exactly what we were getting. We then were introduced to Anna, the day-of wedding coordinator, who is an absolute dream to work with. It's clear they work very hard to perfect their service as I truly felt I did not need to do anything the day of except show up and enjoy our time. She made sure my husband and I were well taken care of and the guests never wanted for anything.
The Food was absolutely amazing - our guests came up to us after dinner and could not stop talking about how terrific the food was. One of the best parts of the dinner is that it is served family style so everyone got to try a bit of everything. The whole vibe of this venue is different and people really seemed to enjoy the flow of the day and the atmosphere. I did not buy a single flower as the venue did not need any additional decorating - it was perfect and simple as is.
We opted to rent the bridal suite the morning of and it was the best decision we made for the day. Having the ability to have everyone get ready at the venue and photos done early was a dream. The space was beautiful and we did most of our photos upstairs in the suite and on the roof.
If I could do everything all over again, Deity would still be my first choice. I don't think I can rave enough about the staff, the space, the food, the communication. Everything was just brilliant and AFFORDABLE. It's clear they are in this business for the happiness the comes along with owning an event space and not just about the money. -

Deity gave us truly an above and beyond wedding experience that couldn't have been more perfect!
My now-husband and I had gotten discouraged by wedding planning since coordinating everything between vendors seemed really challenging and stressful, so we were really excited to find Deity when we searched for all inclusive wedding venues in NYC. After meeting the owner, Caio, and getting a tour we were sold. After that, it was amazing how smooth the process went. Our wedding party and families kept asking how they could help and we had nothing for them to do, and hardly anything to do ourselves. We met Anna (the day-of coordinator) a couple months before to plan out the day, and she was AMAZING leading up to the wedding and the day of.
The actual wedding itself went SO smoothly and was SO fun. We dropped off bags of stuff the night before without any instructions and they just set everything up beautifully. We didn't have to worry about a single thing all day, it was totally stress-free and the most fun day of my life. The guests raved about the venue, the food, the drinks, and the music, and many people told us that it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to. The work that the staff did to make everything run smoothly was so appreciated and everyone commented on how great they were.
I could go on forever about how great Deity and the day was! I can't recommend them enough! -

Ivana Sent on 09/15/2022Everything we wanted in a wedding venue!
My now-husband and I didn't want to go with a traditional wedding venue; we wanted something lowkey yet elegant, and most importantly, we wanted our guests to have a blast. As soon as we visited the space and met with Caio, we knew that Deity would give us everything we wanted in a wedding. Planning was a breeze because Caio and our coordinator Anna took care of everything. They were incredibly responsive with any questions we had, and made coordinating with our vendors so easy. When we decided to postpone our wedding due to high COVID rates in January '22, they were so understanding and worked quickly to rebook a new date. It was worth the wait because our summer wedding couldn't have been more perfect. I got ready with my bridesmaids and family members in the bridal suite (DEFINITELY book the bridal suite! It is SO worth it to have all that space to get ready in comfortably, and to already be at the venue when you're done) which was so gorgeous and had everything ready for us --steamers, 2 bathrooms, plenty of seating, a fridge stocked with wine, wine glasses, mirrors, and plenty of space for hair and makeup to be set up. We did our first look up on the rooftop which resulted in some of my favorite photos because the plants and buildings in the background provide a gorgeous backdrop. Our ceremony space looked exactly how I envisioned it, with Deity's complimentary hurricane vases and pillar candles and the Deity hexagon arch decorated by my florist. The ceremony space was then flipped to the dinner space while the guests went down to the lounge for cocktail hour where they enjoyed hors d'eauvres (Deity has a great selection of unconventional, fun appetizers to choose from) and drinks, including our signature cocktails. Dinner was set up quickly and beautifully, and we received lots of compliments on the food choices (we chose the filet mignon and salmon, and Deity provides complimentary vegetarian options if you let them know in advance). By the time dinner was over, everyone was ready to dance and party in the cellar space. At first, I was nervous that people would hate all the moving between the levels, but I honestly think it was best to have the dancing portion separate from the cocktail hour and dinner because it just felt like a party at a local Brooklyn club! Our DJ/MC, provided by Deity, was so nice and even arranged a call before the wedding to go over our questionnaire on song preferences. DJ Trauma really wanted to get to know the vibe we were going for with the music and dancing, and he totally nailed it! I would definitely recommend Deity to anyone looking to have a unique, fun, and trendy NYC wedding with stress-free planning! -

Having our wedding at Deity was fantastic! They did a great job handling everything, including food, decorations, and dancing. The multi-floor layout is very cool and unique. The staff was great, and the venue's party planner, Anna, was incredible. She was on top of every detail, and was super helpful all the way through to the day of the event. We had a very unique ceremony due to the pandemic, and Anna really went out of her way to make sure we got exactly what we wanted, even when we didn't know what that was! They also did a great job keeping up with covid guidelines, and were very upfront about being able to reschedule the event in case the situation worsened (which fortunately didn't happen). If you're looking for a venue that includes everything, we can't recommend Deity enough. -

When we were searching for a wedding venue in NYC, we were trying to find a place that was relatively affordable (hard in this city!). We did not have a wedding planner, and so we needed it to be as all inclusive as possible. Deity delivered! Not having to worry about food, rentals, the bar, or the DJ made our lives so much easier. Caio and our day of coordinator Anna were so helpful leading up to the wedding, especially with the continued covid-related events changes. In the days leading up to the wedding we were able bring over some decor ahead of time, and Anna did a wonderful job reusing a lot of in the various spaces depending on where people were going to be without me even noticing! We loved the old building and the 3 spaces, which allowed the evening to feel fresh as we moved from the cocktail space to the dinner floor to the dance floor. Many of our guests said they thought the dance party was especially great because it was where most people were and you basically didn't have the option to not dance! Of course, the excellent DJ provided by Deity helped. We had just under 100 guests, which felt like the perfect amount for the space. -

Everything Was Perfect
With Caio's vision of the space and Anna's execution of the plan we truly enjoyed our day. From having multiple floors to spread out during these Covid times to in house wedding coordinator to the catering and DJ being included this was the best thing for us with planning a wedding in less than 7 months. The only food you need to bring in are the cake/desserts and just make sure to bring your own guest take home containers so you won't have so much left over to bring back home, lol. Our guests loved the space and we all truly enjoyed our time dancing away with DJ BenHaMeen following our vision of music as well. We will recommend Deity to anyone looking for a non traditional space that's affordable in NYC. -

Claudette Sent on 08/01/2022Best choice for a NY Wedding Venue
I wish I could do all events at Deity! I was married on April 2022 and have been recommending to everyone as the place to get married or throw an event. The day went exactly as planned which is a rarity for a wedding and guests are still raving about the food. I loved the option of a family style dinner which I think made the dinner service fast and efficient (so we can get to the partying) and also had guests interact and I think better food quality. Another plus is that Deity provides a day of coordinator which ensured that I could relax during the day instead of having to manage all the vendors. I had the pleasure of working with Anna and she was amazing including fixing my bustle when it kept falling off. The schedule went exactly as planned and all my vendors arrived and were taken care of easily. Last but not least the venue itself has so much character and is beautiful. I did all of my pictures at Deity and I also opted for the bridal suite which is the best bridal suite I saw at any NY venue. The pictures and videos were top notch not only because of my vendors but because the venue had so much natural detailing which saved money on any extra decor. P.S. DJs are provided by the venue and I danced the night away! He understood exactly the vibe that I wanted for a mix of contemporary Hip Hop and Latin music. -

Deity - a dream wedding venue!
Deity is our DREAM WEDDING VENUE! This was the one venue we saw when we were not sure if we should host a wedding due to the pandemic, and as soon as we saw it we knew we had to have our wedding here. From the start, Caio and Anna were constantly in communication with us, ready to answer any and all questions we had. We were so excited to have our Chinese/Taiwanese cultural wedding fused with modern elements at this venue and every moment was jam-packed with precision, effortlessness, and joy! We greatly appreciated being able to drop off our decor, signs, and guestbook materials the day prior (and for allowing our dogs to have a moment in the space to get used to their special role as flower dogs walking down the aisle), and shoutout to Anna for her careful eye on what visually worked versus what didn't! On our special day, we loved being taken care of constantly with food (and the most delicious hors d'oeuvres - shoutout especially to the chicken and waffles), and drinks (shoutout to the bartenders for helping us design specialty drinks inspired by our dogs and favorite spirits) from the moment the ceremony ended through the very end of our time. Our guests, friends and families, all loved the versatility of the venue from the beautiful ceremony floor which also became our lunch floor, the cocktail floor, and the Brooklyn Love dance floor. Shoutout to our DJ Ben for being adaptable to various musical genres and keeping the party LIT — hip hop, kpop, pop, alt. rock, 2000's bangers, you name it and he's ready; our friends literally asked to hire DJ Ben for their weddings, too! Deity was great with vendor deliveries and keeping us posted when florals and our desserts arrived. Shoutout to Deity and the entire team for making us feel so incredibly special, and we recommend EVERYONE to book their special event with Caio and Anna! -

Deity was such a wonderful venue to hold our wedding at! We loved that there was a dedicated space for each segment of the evening , how many items are included in the total cost (e.g. food, DJ services, tables, chairs, tableware, tablecloths, lighting), and overall how beautiful the space is. The whole team is super friendly and professional, and Caio and Anna made the final planning stages a breeze! We were able to let go and trust that everything would go perfectly. Anna was with us for the entire evening, helping with the rehearsal, fixing my bustle, and making sure we had a few minutes to celebrate on our own before joining the rest of our guests for the party. I'm so glad we held our wedding at Deity! -

I cannot say enough about how much of a dream come true Deity Events was for our wedding. From our initial informational meetings, to planning, to day-of service, and overall experience (from our perspective AND our guests'), Deity is a clear Five-Star choice across the board.
When my husband and I first were looking for a venue, we knew that we wanted to choose a place that captured the unique spirit of Brooklyn, and also offered a convenient and lively experience for our guests. We looked at many venues in the area, and Deity was the clear winner from the first time we toured. It is important to note that most of the staff at Deity have worked there for many years, and it shows in their expertise and happiness with their work. We really connected with their owner, Caio, and events coordinator from our first meeting. They were able to get a clear idea of our vision, and guide us through the planning process seamlessly. In the end, it was even more beautiful and fun-filled than we could have pictured.
In addition to the beautiful, unique decor, our guests continued to compliment the quality of food (delicious!) and fun/lively atmosphere long after the wedding. The design of the dance-floor level and skill of the DJ meant that the majority of our guests spent most of the reception on the dance floor :)
Lastly, a really important note on the flexibility and humanity of Caio and staff. My husband and I were scheduled to be married in mid-April of 2020...obviously, that was postponed due to COVID. We ended up having to shift the date several times based on the pandemic, and finally were able to celebrate in Summer 2021. The team at Deity kept in contact with us throughout, offering support with our planning, checking in on our health, etc. We couldn't be more happy with the decision to work with Deity, and to commemorate our love there! -

Amazing venue, amazing team, amazing wedding!
Everything we could've asked for and more. Throughout the chaos that was 2020 (and even 2021) the Deity team was with us from day one. They helped answer questions and took care of everything from the 'big items' to the little details, which was extremely helpful and calming for an out-of-state couple. The beauty of the venue is unmatched and the helpfulness of the
team is top-notch. A+, two-thumbs up, would recommend! -

THE Brooklyn Gem for a Wedding
Nestled in the heart of Downtown Brooklyn is one of the most intimate and memorable venues you will find for a wedding. We locked in our date before COVID and two years later all the waiting was well worth it! To start Caio is one of the most genuine and professional people you will meet and someone we sincerely call a friend. Every single detail from the door opening, to guests arriving to our departure at the end of the night was covered without us having to worry about a thing. We were hesitant to pull in a million different vendors and when it came to the food, logistics and venue, all the big points were covered. Our florist, photographer and videographer were welcomed as part of the family and worked seamlessly with the rest of the Deity team. Both my wife and I are sticklers for food and music, and both of these areas were above and beyond what you would anticipate from a typical wedding. The most important part of the day was that we were able to to relax and focus on the experience and the friends around us. All of the 'happenings' behind the scenes were 'unseen,' with the staff taking care of all the details and any issues (none) without us even knowing. Thank goodness we had such great photos to remember the day, because it was an absolute dream and we couldn't have been happier. Thank you again and much love to the Deity family and to Caio! -

Wouldn't change a thing!
Being an LGBT couple, and being perceived as young, made my wife and I extremely hesitant when it came to picking a space to host our wedding. We were afraid we’d either be judged for being a same sex couple, or not taken seriously because most couples our age don’t typically wed. We finally sucked up any reservations we had when we stumbled across Deity after googling potential wedding venues. Needless to say, It was love at first sight. We first went to see the space in person in August 2020 and left already knowing that it would be the place we’d decide on. Besides the raw beauty of the space, and its attractive non-traditional layout, it was the warm aura of the owner Caio that ultimately swayed our decision. We had a very calm first encounter and he put absolutely no pressure on us to make a decision right away. We felt respected, heard, and comfortable, which is something that no other venue accomplished.
Fast forward into 2021, Caio was extremely communicative throughout the entire process and answered every tedious covid related question we had. Our October 2021 wedding was truly a day that we, and our guests, will never forget. We received so many compliments regarding the space, food, drinks, and hospitality. Anna, our day of coordinator, was godsend. Wedding day was the most hectic day we’ve ever experienced, but Anna ensured the timeline and flow of the day went accordingly. I’d re-book and re-do this day in Deity all over again if I could. Even if you’re hesitant after reading this review, I suggest going to see Deity in person, to allow the space to do the persuading for you. Thank you again Caio and the entire Deity staff! -

John Sent on 11/22/2021The best venue in NYC
Weddings are insanely difficult to plan. Knowing this, my wife and I hunted for a place that would make that a little bit easier. After much research we landed on Deity, a beautiful space where we could hold the ceremony and the reception all in the same place. The deal breaker was that they handled most of the ceremony/event setup in house - from professional waitstaff, to horderves & main course, to even having the DJ. We only had to bring in the florist and photographer - and since this place is a go-to for a lot of couples the two we selected were already familiar with the space and proceeded to coordinate with Caio, the owner. With the pain of seating charts, invitations, and other tasks having Deity take care of the coordination and other things in house was such a load off of our shoulders and was worth every penny on that alone.
We had originally planned to have our wedding in 2020 but the pandemic made us had to reschedule it. Having heard horror stories of venues and other vendors screwing people out of money we were originally nervous about what would happen. But to our relief, Caio was so accommodating and worked with us to schedule a new date - no extra charges or anything! His level of commitment to making sure you have the best evening possible is beyond what I thought was possible - even as we navigated through these horrible times.
I have done nothing but sing this place praises since our event. Everything was perfect: the food was some of the best you'll ever have, the DJ was incredibly friendly and could read a room like an expert, and the staff were friendly and beyond accommodating. And the bar next door is open until 5AM and is really cute - they often cater to events from Deity for the after party and are great about it. And to make it even better, it was actually really affordable for a wedding. Like to the point where other people were surprised that was even possible, especially being in Downtown Brooklyn.
Make Deity a top consideration for your wedding because my wife and I's was nothing but spectacular. And they'll make your life so much easier on one of the most stressful days of your life. And that is truly priceless. -

From the moment we walked in , we loved it! My now husband =) , and I were searching for a venue that was different yet elegant, and Deity captured it right away. We loved the building and aritechture immediately, and once we sat with the Deity team we knew we had to get married here! I, myself, am not great at party planning and they had every detail covered which made everything seamless. Deity made everything easy and gorgeous at the same time. By far my favorite thing about Deity is they take the time to listen to what you want and also ensure that you and your spouse get the time you need together on yourself wedding day. Friends and family are still raving how they have never been to a wedding like ours and how priceless it is. We highly recommended and are already hoping to have another event there! -

Our wedding at Deity was simply wonderful from beginning to end. The space is so unique and truly interesting- each floor provides a different atmosphere- your guests will really enjoy moving throughout the space on the big day. I’ve heard numerous times how great the food was, how responsive the staff was, and that everyone who attended had a fantastic time.
From planning, covid postponements, and especially day of, working with Caio was wonderful. He’s thoughtful, resourceful, responsive and fully committed to you making your event exactly what you want it to be.
Please do yourself a favor and rent the bridal suite for the day before the event- its huge, beautiful and provides so many wonderful opportunities for photos. My husband and I didn’t want to see each other before the ceremony so the men hung out on the roof and the ladies in the suite and were really able to relax and enjoy themselves before the festivities began.
We have said over and over to each other that it was the best day of our lives and I fully believe that a lot of that had to do with the fact that we chose Deity as our venue.

Laura Sent on 07/16/2021A dream come true after COVID cancellations!
Any bride who had an original wedding date in 2020 no doubt has a unique story to tell about when and how they finally got married after the pandemic forced so many of us to reconsider our plans. I had friends whose venues caused them so many headaches when it came to rescheduling, money lost, demands not met, etc., and I am eternally grateful that I did not have to deal with any of those things. I cannot imagine a venue as accommodating, supportive, and receptive as Deity, and have no doubt that my experience with wedding planning would not have been nearly as positive if I chose another venue. Our original date was April 18, 2020, and when we were forced to cancel, Deity helped us reschedule not once but twice, finally landing on our date of June 25th, 2021. Throughout all those reschedulings, Deity honored our original price point (we went with April because it was off-peak pricing, and even though we rescheduled to June, Deity did not increase our costs and let us keep the off-peak price we originally agreed to!). Additionally, Caio (head of Deity) kept us in the loop each step of the way about capacity limits, COVID restrictions, etc., and we ended up having a wedding that not only met but exceeded our original expectations!
Aesthetically, Deity is one of the most unique and stunning venues in NYC. There are so many interesting features that my guests were in awe of – the beautiful tree with delicate dangling lights smack in the middle of the cocktail lounge, the juxtaposition of stained glass and exposed brick, the large hexagon-shaped bar that helped loads of people get a drink at once, the light and airy ceremony room, the vintage “Brooklyn Love” sign and disco ball in the dance room…every part of this venue is “Instagrammable!” Then, there’s the breathtaking bridal suite – this really sold it for us, because having access to this lounge from 10 AM onward to get ready in and take pictures made the entire day so incredibly joyful and easy! The lounge is beyond gorgeous, with romantic velvet curtains, antique furniture, a fully functional kitchen with a huge island (perfect to serve lunch on while everyone gets ready) and multiple bathrooms. We also had access to the amazing roof deck all day – great views of the Brooklyn skyline, a shaded sitting area, and even a 10x10 spa pool we dipped our feet into. The roof and bridal lounge were absolutely perfect for our bridal party as we got hair and makeup done and took spectacular photos.
If you book with Deity, you also get a basic décor package included, which helped us save a lot on decorations and flowers! The décor package includes gorgeous, thin strands of lights, thick asymmetrical candles and a mirror plate that we used as the focal part of our centerpieces, a huge hexagonal arch in the ceremony room that you can put candles and flowers on and get married in front of, all the table cloths/napkins, table assignment numbers, and more. Also included when you book with Deity is the DJ! I recommend getting on the phone with your DJ beforehand to go over the music and selections you’d like so they can personalize it for you (we didn’t do this, but the musical selection still ended up being a good spread of genres and this). If you have special requests, let them know and they’ll accommodate (we wanted to distribute glowsticks for a specific song and our DJ helped make that happen at the right time).
Regarding food, Deity’s selection of hors d’oeuvres for cocktail hour were fantastic. We went for the lobster po boy, crab cakes, spanakopita, mini Cuban sandwiches, beef tenderloin toasts, and the chicken and waffles (which were TO DIE FOR). All of our selections were delicious and tasted just like they did at our tasting – no day-of surprises! For the sit-down dinner, we enjoyed the salmon with cream sauce, short ribs (melt in your mouth!), and a bunch of delicious sides all served family style (which lets your guests try everything and eat even more than a typical plated dinner). The drink service was always spot on and our guests (who REALLY like to party) were able to enjoy as many beverages as they liked thanks to the speedy drink service and waiters who helped deliver drink orders in the dance room (there’s no bar in there, but people are constantly floating around to take drink orders so no one had to worry about their next beverage).
Finally, the staff at Deity (in particular, Caio and our day-of coordinator Anna) are exceptional human beings. They are true professionals who have immense experience with weddings and have this stuff down to a SCIENCE. They know all the details about transitions, timing, how to move your guests from one from to the next – you don’t have to worry about a thing, and our night went off without a hitch! Anna even fixed my hair and helped bustle my dress, made sure our favorite drink was always in hand, and gave us waters every half an hour or so to keep us hydrated! When our florist dropped out last minute, Caio managed the communication with the new florist to make sure they could step up and do the job right, and that really alleviated so much stress for us. These are people who will have your back through and through and take on anything necessary to make sure you can focus on having fun and living in the moment.
We are so grateful to Deity for their efforts on our behalf – if you book with Deity, you’re going to have the most magical wedding that people will be buzzing about for ages. Don’t hesitate to choose them for your wedding! We could not be happier with our experience!

Best Wedding Ever!
Our wedding will be a day we will never forget. The ceremony/dining room set a romantic atmosphere, it was stunning. Caio who is the owner & his team are awesome, they all provided a great show of support throughout the booking process & day. We didn't do a tasting prior to the wedding, I expected the food to be average for catering venues but everyone raved about the food! My wife & I had a chance to meet and compliment the chef in person. The cocktail hour horderves were so delicious. My favorite moment was right when the ceremony ended everyone went down to enjoy cocktail hour, my wife and I stayed back to enjoy an intimate cocktail with each other right after our "I do". The Deity team was extraordinary, I didn't have to worry about anything. They assisted with making sure my bridal bouquet was kept safe & in perfect condition while we enjoyed our time. Our crowd was a little bit of everything, the foodies loved every item on our cocktail list which included chicken & waffles, mini grilled cheese with tomato soup, mini cubans, lamb sliders, lobster rolls & bruschetta.The dancing crowd enjoyed the music and the basement level, they had drinks coming to them all night, and easy access to the restrooms. Everyone loved the multi level venue, each floor was a surprise.
We came across a wedding video in 2018 from a same sex couple that was held in Deity, the couple looked so happy and the venue looked so beautiful in the background. We checked on google and looked at the reviews & photos for Deity and were in love with the romantic setting it has with the candles and dim lighting and that big Brooklyn Love sign in the cellar behind the disco ball. We received pricing and after shopping around Deity fit our budget and offered a great deal of help such as a day of coordinator and DJ everything was just so simple and the pricing was very reasonable. We met with a Deity rep to do a walk through of the venue and the same day we couldn't see our wedding anywhere else but Deity. We set our date for November 2020 but then in March 2020 covid happened, with everything up in the air as to employment we were not too sure if to save money or to submit our 2nd payment but Caio was so supportive and understood just like him we were all worried about what was next. We touched base January 2021 and decided to move forward and set our date for June 2021. Choosing Deity as our venue was the best choice we did for our special. The food was delicious, I would love to go back to eat lol, the decor is elegant and modern and in style. The staff are all so lovely, friendly & very attentive. Caio is running such a great establishment. We can't thank the Deity staff enough!

My Deity wedding was an absolute dream, and that is largely thanks to the amazing staff that made sure everything ran as smoothly as possible. Planning a wedding in a pandemic is no easy task but Caio really worked with my husband and I to make sure it was an amazing day while keeping everyone’s safety at utmost importance. We had frequent emails, phone calls, and meetings throughout the planning process to make sure no detail was left out and that everyone was being accommodated. On the day of, our coordinator Anna also went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were enjoying ourselves and absolutely mastered our schedule/ timeline. Our families are not easy people to keep on track but Anna did it all flawlessly!
Deity is such an amazing venue in that the space is so versatile and diverse you feel like you’re at a different venue with each floor. Thanks to the bridal suite, I didn’t have to stress about where to get ready with my bridal party and then coordinate more travel in time for photos. The rooftop was great for cityscape photos and we even walked around the neighborhood for some great shots. The ceremony space was flipped for dinner and Deity staff made sure transitions to and from floors were seamless. Our guests loved having the lounge space open all night as well as a break from the dance floor.
The food was phenomenal. Cocktail hour and dinner were knocked out of the park and our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about the food. Seriously, if we could get our hands on that BBQ chicken recipe we would. Our DJ Ben was also fantastic. One of our deciding factors in choosing Deity was that our package came with a DJ already and Ben did not miss. He kept our friends and families dancing and just a great overall vibe to the night.
When initially booking Deity, we were a little concerned about the 2 flights of stairs at the venue but Caio also made sure that our elderly guests were comfortable and received any assistance needed throughout the night which was HUGELY appreciated. On top of it being such an affordable, all-inclusive, prime NYC spot, I cannot recommend Deity enough! -

Wedding Dreams Come True
We considered a number of locations and when it came time to make a decision, we were challenged with our ability to trust the coordinator and their team would provide the support we needed to plan a wedding from afar. In our first discussion, Caio made us feel heard and comfortable. A few weeks later, we met in person at the venue and we knew we chose the right venue and team to help make our wedding dreams come true. We relied heavily on the advice and guidance of the Deity team. They went above and beyond to make recommendations to hotels, local vendors not typically used, coordinate timeline of shipments and overall décor coordination. Their team took a huge weight off with their in-house planning, catering, and music.
The day of the wedding. the bridal party arrived to the venue early and we were all in awe of the stunning bridal suite. Being able to get ready at the venue and not having to worry about transportation was perfect.
The Ceremony, the floor was stunning, the florist and Deity staff created a whimsical indoor garden with greenery draping across the ceiling and crawling up the windows throughout the room, the aisle was lined with candles that led to the rooms center piece, a beautiful hexagon covered in roses, hand built for our wedding by my now husband. The aroma of the flowers filled the room and was intoxicating, something I will remember always. On the same accord, when the room was turned over for dinner, the table settings were all that I had dreamed and more they made the room feel romantic and warm. The guests were in awe of their ability to turn over the room so quickly and gushed over the attentiveness of the staff. They loved the tray passed Hors D’oeuvres during cocktail hour and the family style dinner. During the reception, they enjoyed the drinks to order versus a bar, it kept the guest engaged in the party versus crowding around a bar.
Words can’t express how grateful I am to Caio and the Deity team. Deity did so many little things leading up to our wedding day to make it perfect. I highly recommend them for any of your events, you will not be disappointed.

Kelsey Sent on 10/25/2020Our dream wedding- during Covid!
Nothing I can say or write will do justice to how dream come true our wedding was! I knew even before I got engaged that I wanted to get married at Deity, because of the absolutely beautiful building and the fact that they provide everything you need for your big day. Shortly after getting engaged I reached out and got in touch with Caio who was happy to accommodate our small 50 person wedding. Every vendor they recommended was equally as wonderful for the booking process and I was basically done planning my wedding in a couple months!
Enter 2020- as soon as Covid hit (an event planner myself) knew that this was not something that would pass quickly and I had no intentions of postponing my October dream wedding. Caio was on board from the beginning that we would do whatever it takes to make the wedding happen! He was so attentive and quick to respond to all of my concerns and adapting plans for the big day as regulations constantly changed (at one point we were going to do a rooftop party!)
Thankfully, NYC allowed indoor dining 10 days before our wedding so we went full speed ahead with a Covid safe plan to do our indoor wedding. We ended up deciding against dancing as it is difficult to do socially distanced, and it ended up making our night even more perfect with an additional cocktail hour in the lounge space to spend time with friends and family.
Once the big day came, everything came together perfectly. Thanks to Caio for recommending the BEST vendors you could imagine, literally picking up our cake for us, and being there to answer every little question I had and to pay special attention to every detail I planned. Our family and friends can't stop telling us about how it was the most amazing wedding they had ever been to! Our day far exceeded our expectations and I give all credit to Caio and our vendors. Thank you thank you! Book your wedding at Deity, you will be in the best hands in the industry and have the best day of your life! -

Clea Sent on 01/25/2020Exceeded Our Expectations at Every Turn
I am now nearly four weeks out from my wedding and I am still riding the post wedding high. Every part of our day went spectacularly, exceeding our expectations, and a HUGE part of that was because of this venue and all the staff that make the place run smoothly, professionally, and joyfully. I cannot tell you how many texts, emails, and voicemails we received afterwards telling us this was the best wedding they've ever been to. How fun it was. How the layout made it so cool and extra special. They loved that dancing was separate, making that portion a real party. And for the guests who don't really want to be out there dancing, they still felt like they were a part of it since the tables are right there in the action. It was a dream.
Also, you will LOVE your experience at Deity as much as your guests did! A few more specifics about our day, as I know I read all these reviews in detail when deciding; we started the day in the Suite getting ready, which was such a beautiful landing space to have. It is GORGEOUS and just makes you feel luxurious and taken care of immediately. The staff were checking in all day or answering texts about tiny questions. And it was so nice to be whisked away up there at various points in the night for some connection time between you alone as a couple. I think this aspect is something that sets Deity completely apart. On the night of your event you are given TWO coordinators who are pretty much just there for you. They keep track of timing and where you two need to be at any point in the night and just allowed us to be more fully present in every moment, not worrying over "what time is it? is xyz happening?" At any moment I had a question or a thought, they were two steps ahead of me and I relaxed all the more, breathing a deep sigh of relief and gratitude. Beyond these two amazing coordinators, there's the whole rest of the staff, who are also so kind, considerate, and on top of every little thing. We had two people who were in a wheelchair or walker. This was something that caused us a lot of concern beforehand, but Caio assured us they knew exactly how to handle it and to not worry. And man were they right. With grace, poise, and open hearts, they maneuvered the wheelchair over various steps, aided with the chair lift, and went above and beyond when at the start of dancing, our wheelchair bound uncle couldn't get a cab as it was New Year's Eve, and the bartender himself walked them to the hotel! When we heard of this the next morning, we teared up. It was that level of kindness and consideration at every point, big and small, that sets this venue apart from all the rest.
The food and drinks were plentiful and absolutely delicious (the salmon and short ribs are to die for) and kept us happy dancing into the night. Not to mention the GORGEOUS interior and design on every floor. I loved it from the first time I set eyes on the place, and every guest commented how cool, unique, fun, and well-done our wedding was. This was because of the team at Deity, not us. ; ) -

Lauren Sent on 01/11/2020Wonderful venue!
Our wedding was at Deity on November 23, 2019. We LOVED the venue and highly recommend it.
Caio (the owner) was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. He was always very quick to respond to our questions. He is an expert in all-things wedding planning and hep paved the way for us to have an unforgettable experience. Making a perfect seating chart was one of our hardest tasks – Caio’s suggestions and floorplans along the way were invaluable.
Melissa and Ana led the show on the night of our wedding. Ana was my personal attendant and kept bringing me water or whatever I asked for. Both Ana and Melissa were very attentive and even anticipated all my needs in advance! Ana even bustled my dress! Melissa and Ana certainly are experts in making weddings go smoothly! At the end of the evening, they gathered all our belongings, so it was easy to grab everything together when leaving.
Our planning meeting in advance was with Melissa. We had some homework both before and after to figure out all the details. Whatever we wanted— Deity made it happen. We did our tasting the same night as the planning meeting. The food at the tasting was excellent—I’m glad I enjoyed it since I didn’t eat a lot on the wedding night! It’s definitely worth doing the tasting to compare options.
Food quality was very important for us and we were very happy with how everything turned out. For the hor d’oerves, we selected: lemongrass shrimp, salmon poke, beef tenderloin toast, spanakopita, crab cakes and bruschetta. For dinner, we selected: mozzarella salad, green beans, orzo pilaf, NY strip and seared tuna. (We paid a bit extra per guest for two premium entrees.) All the hor d’oerves were delicious! My favorites were the beef tenderloin toast and spanakopita. (In the tasting, we tried the sliders, but preferred the toast) The salmon poke was notably delicious! For the salads, we also tried the beets during our tasting– both salad options would have been great. As for entrees, the NY Strip with the mushrooms was delicious! It was my favorite, but my husband loved the seared tuna even more. My parents had been a bit worried about tuna before the wedding, since they thought some guests might want fish more thoroughly cooked,. We had been on the fence and considered picking salmon instead, but the tuna turned out great and everyone loved it! In terms of quantity, there was plenty of food. Deity coordinated vegetarian and kosher meals for us and had backup vegetarian options on hand.
The space at Deity is beautiful. The Loft (for room the ceremony and then dinner) —with the exposed brick, lights, and candles—is just stunning. (Having candles as centerpieces means costs savings, not spending as much on flowers for tables.) It was the perfect urban chic look we wanted. The Lounge (main floor for guests upon arrival and cocktail hour) has beautiful stained-glass windows, is soundproof, and is just a beautiful room. Our guest count was 150. It felt a little crowded, but not terribly. We originally expected a guest count of 120, which is more ideal for the space.
The open concept of having the party flow between floors works well. The staff brought people up and down seamlessly. There was coat check, so not much worry over leaving coats or bags at seats. Some of our older guests left after dinner, though, rather than dancing in the cellar, since by then it was late and, without a seat at a table, they felt it was okay to head out. This was fine with us and didn’t deter from the party happening downstairs!
We had a string quartet for the ceremony, which was great. At the cocktail hour we had so many people that they were a bit drowned out—if you try this, maybe arrange for microphones. Then Ben was the DJ for dancing. He did a great job playing the Hora music we picked out, and everyone loved dancing through the night...the dance floor and cellar space were intimate and perfect for us! We picked out our own dessert from a local bakery, and Deity served it during the dance party, which was also managed seamlessly.
We were thrilled with our wedding at Deity!!

So many things to say about Deity.
Deity helped with solidifying our dream wedding. My husband and I are both Brooklynites and this venue could not have depicted Brooklyn and it's evolution any better. After we read the reviews and watched some of the party videos, we felt compelled to see the venue for ourselves. At our arrival, it seemed as if the choice was already unquestionable. The venue is eloquently designed with exposed brick walls and a centered lit tree highlighting its natural beauty. The intricate lights and candles gave off a romantic, whimsical feeling. Each floor brought a new, pleasant feeling of discovery. The top floor suite was definitely worth it. My bridal party and I were able to get ready as peacefully as can be. The suite can accommodate an entire party as well as the hair and makeup team comfortably. The rooftop is a great place for couples to do their first look. It was private, intimate and offered an amazing view of Brooklyn's skyline. Caio and his team made the planning process easy and almost effortless. He promptly responded to our endless questions without hesitation. The entire team of coordinators were EXTREMELY helpful! They helped manage our wedding jitters and made the decor and blend of traditional/cultural customs come to life. Til this day, our guests continue to give us compliments about the music, food and great time they had.
DEITY is highly recommended. -

Jennifer Sent on 12/29/2019For a venue relationship that is more of a partnership, look no further
My now husband and I settled on Deity for a few reasons: 1) they are a multi-floor, all-in-one ceremony/reception venue, 2) they are far more laid back and untraditional than other venues, and 3) we clicked with the staff immediately. When we booked them, I warned them that although I was a fairly non-traditional bride, I am also a seriously nitpicky planner. At no time did anyone at Deity make me feel rushed, unprepared, or like some kind of bother during the planning process. Melissa was there to answer every single ridiculous planning question I had and worked so closely with us to make sure the details of our day were on pointe despite many last minute changes and issues. Before the wedding, owner Caio took the time to meet and speak with me regarding the finalization of all our details and really made us feel like the lines of communication were perpetually open with Deity. We expressed some concerns about small things and he listened carefully and thoughtfully executed changes on our behalf that helped us have what was a truly perfect day. On the day of, Melissa and Anna helped curb all of our anxieties and guide us and our guests through the day seamlessly. When I say these guys will put in work for you, they will truly put in WORK. They are undeniably professional, kind, and so excellent at diffusing any issues without causing panic to the bride and groom. The food was great, service by all staff was top notch, and the decor in Deity can't be beat. I highly recommend using their bridal suite for getting ready and staying the night- it was amazing to not have to trek to a second location after we were so tired! The suite truly can't be described and pictures don't do it justice- you have to see it. Deity also provides a portal with an abundance of vendor recommendations once you book, and this is how we found our incredible photographer, as well. All in all, Deity is a 10/10 venue in a 2/10 wedding world and we are so blessed to have their incredible space, staff, and energy as the backdrop to our special day. They have truly become a sort of family to us. -

I probably read every single review on here before booking ( I wanted a perfect venue) and now know first hand what the hype is all about! This is a legit five star vendor!!!!
We hired Deity in part for its unique beautiful lay out that would create an insane party and also because we felt we would be in amazing hands with Caio and his staff. Service is one of the most important things to us in a vendor. Let me tell you- Caio and his team are second to none ( shout out to Anna and Melissa—omg you two!!!). Their ability to fine tune all the details and anticipate the needs of you and your guests is hands down incredible. I was sewed into my dress when it ripped I think by Anna, never went without a drink and my guests were well taken care of as well. Every request from specific wine choices for our mothers to creating a pasta bar at cocktail hour were all successfully accomplished. Our guests commented how they never had to wait for a drink - score! Caio carried my 95 year old grandfather up and down stairs and made him feel like a million bucks. List goes on and on.. I highly recommend renting out the suite if you can- it was like a sanctuary to get ready in with my closest friends, sister and mom. It’s stunning and serene and I didn’t have to worry about going anywhere since we were utilizing the entire building!
After almost a year of planning (I went all out and did a valet service, limo shuttles to hotels, donut vendor, hypster photo booth, etc) Caio said leave it in my hands we got this!!!! And you know what.. he did. In every way shape and form.
If you want a unique and vintage vibe in Brooklyn that’s NOT the cookie cutter ballroom my husband and I couldn’t recommend this venue more. We will never forget our magical night and the magicians who helped pull it off. Thank you for one of the best nights of our lives Caio. - Catherine & Adam -

Our friends hosted their wedding at Deity this last weekend and if I had one word to sum up the experience, I would say it was magical!
The venue itself is absolutely stunning and beautifully unique! There are multiple levels that can host an array of different settings and vibes, which I loved! We started our day on the fourth level in the bridal suite, which was spacious enough for 14 of us to get ready. We then moved on to the fifth level, which is a beautiful rooftop terrace for photos. Moving on to the third floor, we attended the wedding ceremony in a room that had been beautifully decorated to suit the tastes of the bride and groom. This room was flipped over for dinner as we had cocktail hour and hors d'oeuvres on the second level bar area, which was adorned with soft lighting and an intimate seating area. Finally, we moved downstairs to the first level, which was a room with beautiful art deco ceilings, to dance the night away for the reception.
Although the venue itself was a gem, what impressed me the most was the staff and service. The food was absolutely delicious, but more than that, they seemed to think of every single detail to make it an unforgettable experience. The owners were personally involved in the process from beginning to end, which made me feel confident in knowing someone had such a personal investment in the event. I’d highly recommend Deity for a wedding or other special social or corporate event.
