    Best wedding at Rule of Thirds!

    We had a fantastic experience getting married at Rule of Thirds. We were drawn to it for the beautiful space and the delicious food — both of those things delivered — but we were even more impressed with the service.

    From the beginning, they were super amenable, answering every question we had quickly, and being very available for us to drop by to be in the space multiple times. We used on of their in-house day-of coordinators, Paige, who was really friendly and on top of everything. The day ran smoothly — we had nothing to think or worry about, and were just able to have a good time.

    Many of our guests commented on how it was the best food they ever had at a wedding, and about how beautiful and unique the room was. Our vendors also mentioned that they were easy to work with. All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

    The reception of my dreams!

    I had the reception of my dreams here. Aka the best weekend of my life! ROT spoiled my partner and I throughout the process. They were communicative, professional, and warm. They made it as easy as possible, and it was fun! I loved our tasting, they made us feel like guests of honor. They brought us snacks and drinks in the bridal suite the day of. They made sure we were comfortable and taken care of. The servers and bartenders were all amazing and contributed to a lovely atmosphere. It’s such a relaxed and fun environment, yet tasteful and well-designed. We didn’t need a lot of decor, and all our guests had the best time :)

    Rule of thirds: stunning

    We held our wedding at Rule of Thirds and could not have asked for a better experience. Our wedding coordinators, Sydney and Paige, were there every step of the way (via multiple showings, prep zooms, vendor coordination, day of texts and during-event check-ins) to make our day perfect. Our guests RAVED about the food (the Prime Rib was the VIP) and drinks, superior service and the airy venue space - it was truly perfect.

    I would also count the venue as a more affordable wedding venue by NYC standards. The Rule of Thirds team was flexible in accommodating our needs (e.g. we opted for a cocktail reception versus a sit-down dinner). The space is prime for decorations as well!

    There is a private dining room the wedding party can use to get ready, house bags, etc. which is great. Plenty of restrooms for guests too!

    Best wedding venue ever!!!

    We had our wedding here and it was truly a flawless night thanks to the team at ROT. The food was fantastic and perfectly portioned and our guests couldn't get enough. The space itself was beautiful and required minimal additional decorating, and it was the perfect size for our group of 135. The planning and coordinating process was smooth from start to finish, and we couldn't recommend it more as a place to host your special day.

    Amazing Wedding Venue

    We’re so glad we went with Rule of Thirds for our venue. In our planning stages, we were so happy to find Rule of Thirds after many unsuccessful searches. Venues in the Catskills, while gorgeous, were difficult for our guests to get to and required us to figure out guest accommodations while NYC venues were either too stuffy, too expensive or too small. Rule of Thirds checked all our boxes — cool vibe, great food, large enough for eating and dancing and an all service vendor. And as an added perk, there was so much greenery already in the venue which made decor a lot easier for us.

    In the end, we really couldn’t imagine a better vendor for our wedding. Everyone had so much fun, complimented the food and drinks and marveled at the space itself.

    We’re so thankful to Sydney, who coordinated things on behalf of the venue, as well as the team who provided world class service on our big day!

    Rule of Thirds is the best Brooklyn Wedding Venue!

    We hosted our wedding at Rule of Thirds this past May and had the absolute best experience. Sydney and the entire events team went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. They worked with us to bring in our list of preferred wines, ensured all of our vendors could seamlessly set up everything, and we heard from many guests that the food at our wedding was the best wedding food ever. We can't recommend Rule of Thirds enough!

    Best venue ever

    We hosted our 275 person wedding here in April. It was a better venue than we could have imagined. Service was incredible even with that large number of people. The food and drinks were excellent, and the tasting for it was an event in itself. They were super flexible to work with. The full buy out is such a unique experience. The sake tasting is a MUST. Perfect venue in any weather (it rained for ours and we were still able to use the courtyard and tents really well).

    Amazing experience at Rule of Thirds

    We had an absolutely PERFECT wedding at Rule of Thirds venue. We loved our coordinator, Sydney, and truly could not have done it without her. The food is amazing and wouldn't have changed a thing.

    Great experience

    Rule of Thirds was incredible. Sydney was a pleasure to work with - she was accommodating and was quick to respond to all of our questions. The venue is spacious, open, and filled with plants- we had minimal decor/florals and only candles for additional lighting, and it looked beautiful. The restaurant did everything (bar, servers, printed menus, set the tables, etc.), and the food and service were amazing. The only additional expenses were a DJ and photographer. Most of the planning happened at the last minute, which worked fine with us.

    Everything We Could Have Asked For (and more)!

    Working with Sydney and the Rule of Thirds staff was a seamless, stress-free experience. Not only is the venue stunning and dreamy, but the entire staff was impeccable and attuned to every detail from the beginning to the end of our wedding. Sydney was responsive, beyond helpful, and brought our vision to life. She helped us feel grounded and at ease throughout the entire process. COULD NOT RECOMMEND RULE OF THIRDS MORE!! It was perfect.

    Amazing experience at Rule of Thirds

    Rule of thirds was the perfect place for our wedding. We loved working with Sydney and staff. We thought that everything came out perfectly and was our dream wedding dinner party.

    Transformative space ready for all your creative vision

    When our wedding planner walked us through this space, we felt immediately inspired by all the different areas of the venue. We knew we didn't want to get married in a blank room with four walls, and set out to craft an event that felt transportive to a world that reflected our journey as a couple. The team at Rule of Thirds helped us do that. From quick coordination to offering flexible menu adjustments to accommodating vendor visits with or without us, we truly appreciate Sydney and her team's time bringing our vision to life. (Our guests are still in disbelief how insanely good even just the sides and soft serve dessert were, in addition to the main entrees.) NYC weddings are not for the price-conscious, but we felt like we got great value as we never had to worry about additional expenses at other venues like chairs, plates, or even menus since all of theirs were already beautiful. RoT was an amazing canvas for our vision, and we are beyond grateful we'll have this to remember by forever.

    Beautiful space, incredible food, great service

    We looked thoroughly at all the venues throughout Brooklyn, but finally landed on Rule of Thirds and it was the best decision ever! We had a medium-sized wedding (80 people) so we only had the event space, but it is beautifully sunlit and full of greenery that already creates an ambiance. Food & drink were very important to us, and as we've already been to the restaurant many times, we were happy that the quality was just the same as it is eating in the restaurant — SO many of our guests have later told us it was the best wedding meal they've ever had (though we weren't surprised, we love RoT)! The waitstaff is professional and on point, they helped manage the various dietary restrictions (GF, DF, vegan, etc.) we had among our guests. We appreciated the special sake toast that they were able to help coordinate; that was so important to us and it went off without a hitch. It's definitely not a traditional space (which was a selling point to us!) and with the beautiful view of the city from the skylight and North Brooklyn location (lots of hotel accommodations nearby and bars for an afterparty), it was the perfect place for us to have our wedding. Thanks again to Sydney and team

    Best Wedding Ever

    We held our wedding in September at Rule of Thirds and our event went even better than we could have imagined.

    With 200 guests, we rented the entire restaurant and event space - which has an industrial, trendy warehouse vibe mixed with an elegant minimalist atheistic. Our evening flowed seamlessly, starting with a ceremony under the atrium, cocktail hour in the restaurant and garden, dinner in the event space, and dancing back in the restaurant.

    The team at Sunday Hospitality Group worked with us from start to finish to develop the timeline for our wedding while also accommodating nearly all of our unique requests. Shout out to Sydney, our main contact and day of coordinator, who was always organized, responsive to our questions and concerns, and who collaborated well with all of our other vendors. The entire staff the day of our wedding was professional, courteous and kept the evening running seamlessly.

    Our guests raved about the food, which is a little more adventurous than your typical wedding fare. The chef helped us create a menu that highlighted his Japanese cuisine but also catered to the varied tastes of our guests. The kaarage (fried chicken), roasted fish (bass), special potato salad and sesame soft serve in particular were big hits. We also added an Oyster bar and grill station which were popular. The venue also offers a superior selection of wines, spirits and cocktails that kept all of our guests happy.

    I would highly recommend hosting your wedding or next big event at Rule of Thirds if you are looking for a beautiful and unique space amidst the bustle of North Brooklyn, staffed by an incredible team.

    Beautiful space with friendly, attentive staff

    The Rule of Thirds team made sure our wedding was perfect! The venue itself is beautiful - open, airy, modern, and very Brooklyn, and every member of the staff made our event run perfectly. They were attentive to every detail and went above and beyond to make sure everything was just as we liked it, even if it was extra work for them. The food was amazing and all of our guests had a great time. I cannot recommend Rule of Thirds highly enough!

    The best wedding venue + food + drinks ever

    My husband and I live a 5 minute walk from Rule of Thirds and it's a practice in extreme self-control to not go there for brunch or dinner all the time. But that's not why I'm writing a review today. It's because of the INCREDIBLE time we had hosting our wedding at Rule of Thirds. Take the BEST food and drinks + impeccable service from all Rule of Thirds staff and event managers + a beautiful space that gives you a lot of beautiful starting points to build off of and it truly gets you the best wedding ever. We couldn't wait to share all of what Rule of Thirds has to offer to our friends and family who came in from out of town and also the ones in town who hadn't had a chance to eat here yet. I'm so grateful to everyone at Rule of Thirds for making the entire day so special and we can't wait to keep going back there and reliving it time and time again. We did a full buyout of the space and it gave everyone a ton of beautiful areas to explore, we were able to use their outdoor private dining areas for a sake tasting during the cocktail hour, and of course people loved the event space itself -- lots of selfies and other fun videos taken in the atrium room with the mirrored skylight. Honestly too much good to write it all here - but have your wedding (or other event!) here and you will never ever regret it. OR at the least go for dinner and enjoy all the delicious food and amazing service you'll get as a normal patron of the restaurant. WE LOVE RULE OF THIRDS!

    Beautiful venue!

    Rule of Thirds is amazing! It was the perfect venue to have a non-traditional, modern NYC wedding. Because their venue space has lots of greenery and a skylight (from which you can see the Empire State building!) adding flowers and candles made the environment so unique and special. Our guests loved the food (dinner was served family style, and we got great feedback on cocktails and canapes) and drinks, and Sydney from the Rule of Thirds team was an absolute dream to work with. Highly recommend working with them!
