Deity Events

I had the time of my life on December 30, 2016, as I celebrated my 50th birthday at Deity NYC. According to my family and friends in attendance, it was the party of the year, a definite hit!! I'm writing this review on January 3 and I'm still on a slight (natural) high from the party � This would not have been possible without Deity. When I first reached out to Deity over a year ago, I was impressed by the responsiveness of Caio. I had found the location in an internet search and just sent an email inquiry. Caio responded within minutes and I was able to visit the site within days. I immediately fell in love with the space. I thoroughly enjoyed working with the Deity team, who were all consummate professionals. They have a great process in place for payments, event planning, and event execution. The time spent with Yulia, the event planner, was invaluable. She helped me to think through all aspects of the event, providing practical guidance along the way. Execution was flawless! Everyone was on point. Starting with the doorman, who did not let guests in the building before the scheduled time and they had better be on the guest list if they expected to get in at all. The food was delicious. The service by the bartenders and food servers was excellent. Yulia's facilitation was flawless. Jamal, the Deity provided DJ, was "dope." I provided a list of a few favorite songs from different genres, so that he could get a feel for our music preferences. He put them all together and the music flowed smoothly. I'm happy that I found Deity. They helped to make my milestone birthday memorable. I unequivocally recommend them to you for your special event.

Drinks were AMAZING! Loved the lighting and the option of celebrating in one floor then moving to another for dancing. Highly recommend it.

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!

We got married in October 2023 at Deity and it was the 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). 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. 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.

Believe the hype: Deity Events is AH-MAZING! We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our special day at Deity Events over Labor Day weekend this year, and we couldn't be happier with our choice to use them as our wedding venue/primary wedding planning team. My partner and I decided to pay entirely for our wedding, and we booked the venue back in 2021. From the very beginning of this process, the owners Anna and Caio assisted the entire planning process with care, warmth and the utmost professionalism. The main reason we chose Deity is because of their "all-inclusive" approach to event planning. The venue itself has a rooftop, bridal suite, dinner/ceremony hall, bar, and dance floor; and to top things off, they recently added an incredible chef to the mix. With Deity, we were able to take care of our venue, bridal/getting ready suite, bar, meals, and DJ/dance floor all within a single plan and contract! I cannot begin to express just how much that allowed us to have a seamless setup and execution the day of. Additionally, for what they didn't have in-house, Anna was fantastic about suggesting other vendors and setup details based on the wealth of experience they've had. The Deity venue itself is quite magical even without decor, with a natural and rustic feel, so you can really calibrate your event from minimalist and simple to glamorous maximalist. In addition to silk flowers (which Anna expertly suggested), we bought a few simple garlands and sashes to accent, and we really didn't need much more than that, which helped save a ton of money and tear down headache. Their bridal suite and rooftop were also awesome and everyone was talking about it, and the homey kitchen allowed for us to coordinate breakfast and lunch platters for our friends and crew with ease. And our rooftop pictures against Brooklyn's skyscrapers and against their rustic entryway (with a Romeo & Juliet window!!) are absolutely stunning! The day of was incredible, and honestly, everyone was talking about how Anna and the Deity crew were spectacular in keeping the day going in a timely manner. 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!

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! ❤️

After an extensive search for budget-friendly wedding venues in the New York area, we discovered that Deity's microwedding packages are unparalleled. The comprehensive wedding packages cover almost everything you need, sparing us the need to spend extra on decorations. The venue itself is truly remarkable, and all of our guests commented on the unique character of the building. Anna, the dedicated wedding coordinator, proved invaluable at every stage of the planning process. She seamlessly coordinated with our chosen vendors, ensuring the smooth delivery of flowers and cake before our arrival. On the wedding day, Anna and her team orchestrated the entire event, allowing my wife and me to fully enjoy the moment. Even when we forgot to print out a seating chart, Anna efficiently helped us resolve the issue on the morning of the event. The culinary experience exceeded expectations, considering the price point. The food was truly fantastic. The menu offered diverse options, making it easy to accommodate dietary preferences, including vegan and vegetarian choices. The venue even accommodated a vegan guest with a nut allergy, showcasing their flexibility. The bartender provided excellent service, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the open bar. Navigating the wedding industry as a lesbian couple presented challenges (even in New York), but Deity's LGBTQ-inclusive environment made us feel completely at ease. Our guests, regardless of their backgrounds, felt genuinely welcome. We wholeheartedly recommend Deity and extend our sincere gratitude to Anna and the entire team for their exceptional service, contributing to the flawless execution of our special day.
