A Chef’s Touch: Your First Meal as Newlyweds at Deity

Wedding reception at wedding venue in brooklyn

One of the most overlooked moments of a wedding day happens right after the ceremony. You’ve just said your vows, walked back down the aisle, and are suddenly swept into a whirlwind of hugs, photos, and celebration. It’s magical, but it’s also easy to forget to eat. At Deity, we believe those first private moments matter, which is why our Executive Chef personally delivers a beautifully prepared platter of food to the couple in the Wedding Suite immediately following the ceremony.

Why This Tradition Matters

Many couples tell us their friends always remind them to eat on their wedding day, or share horror stories of couples who barely touched their food at other venues. It’s one of the most common regrets: spending months planning a menu, only to miss out on it completely because the day moves so fast.

Our philosophy is simple: you shouldn’t miss out on the incredible menu you carefully curated. Having the chef personally bring up your food ensures you get to savor your first bites as newlyweds—together, in private, before diving back into the party.

This is more than a meal. It’s a meaningful pause. A chance to catch your breath, share a quiet toast, and soak in the moment before the reception begins. Couples often tell us this becomes one of their favorite memories of the entire day.

👉 Wedding Planning Tip for Couples: Always plan for a private moment to eat after your ceremony. Whether you’re in a bridal suite, tucked away lounge, or a quiet corner of your venue, arranging food and drinks just for you is one of the easiest ways to make your wedding day stress-free.

The Executive Chef Experience

At Deity, food isn’t just an afterthought. It’s a highlight. Our menus are crafted with seasonal ingredients, thoughtful pairings, and dishes that feel both elevated and crowd-pleasing. When our Executive Chef James delivers your platter, it’s not only about convenience; it’s about connection. Couples get to meet the person who crafted their menu, and often share a few words about what dishes they’re most excited for.

This level of personal care is rare in the wedding industry, but it’s something we’ve built our reputation on. It’s one of the many details that makes Deity a leader among the best wedding venues in Brooklyn with a bridal suite.
