  • 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 best weekend of my life thanks to Thirds!!!

    Wow, I cannot sing more praise for Rule of Thirds events team/food team/service team. Where to start? The food was the best wedding food. I had so many guests tell me after how much they ate and how much they loved the food. So many of our friends said it was the best reception they had ever been to! The space itself is so well designed and beautiful, in our Brooklyn way. It's not traditional, but still timeless. We did minimal DIY decor, and the space looked phenomenal (it's so flexible in how it can look - simple or maximal, it's well designed so it's stunning no matter what). The service staff and events staff were AMAZING and the biggest reason our night went above and beyond. Everyone had great attitudes and big smiles! In the NYC service industry, it's sooooo rare (and def not expected). ROT was also flexible with specific requests that were unconventional (lion dance, light sabers, no ceremony, cocktail style food for sit down dinner, etc). Ultimately, I felt so spoiled by ROT and enjoyed the whole planning process with them (did not have a planner until 2 months out). Have your wedding here, you won't regret it. I wish I could do it all over again!!!!!

    Rule of Thirds was an excellent venue, we had our wedding in March and was perfect for a winter wedding. We worked with Julie, who was extremely organized leading up to the day and helped our day run smoothly. The space was great for the number of people we had (a smaller wedding about 70 people) the food and drinks were the best, and overall we were very pleased with the event. You can really do whatever you would like for the day and they are very accommodating, it was a pleasure working with them.

  • Wonderful Memory!

    It was so great to host our reception at ROT! My partner and I just love how special this space is - the atmosphere is wonderful and has very nice brooklyn vibe that can't really experience elsewhere. What's the best is probably the food-- we love it and so do our guests (and everyone was very full!)-- definitely very high quality and delicious! Our wedding planner Julie was amazing and very easy to work with. Generally we are very happy with our decision to celebrate this important date at ROT. Their aesthetic and food is unbeatable... highly recommend!
