If you’re planning a December event in NYC, you already know the holidays bring out the city’s best. And its busiest. If you’ve ever planned a holiday party in this city, you know how quickly that magic can turn into mayhem.
Finding the perfect venue? A maze.
Coordinating catering, staff, bar, music, rentals? A marathon.
Avoiding hidden fees? A miracle.
That’s where Deity comes in. Brooklyn’s all-inclusive, no-stress holiday party venue where you can actually enjoy your own event.
Why Deity is NYC’s Best-Kept Holiday Party Secret
Tucked behind our ornate bronze gates and signature red doors in Downtown Brooklyn, Deity is what happens when an event venue is built by people who truly understand hospitality. Every floor of our historic, landmark building was designed to create effortless flow, good energy, and unforgettable memories.
And here’s the kicker: everything you need is included.
- Catering by Executive Chef James. Festive menus featuring locally sourced ingredients and seasonal bites that actually make people talk about “the food.”
- Full-Service Bar with Craft Cocktails – signature drinks, mocktails, and local spirits mixed by our expert bartenders.
- Professional Staff & Coordinators – from setup to breakdown, our team runs every detail so you don’t have to.
- Top-Tier Sound System & Lighting – no need to rent or coordinate A/V; it’s all built in and ready for your DJ or live band.
- Stylish Décor & Furniture – moody lighting, velvet seating, and timeless ambiance. No sterile conference hall vibes here.
Transparent Pricing, and No Hidden Fees
At Deity, we believe great parties shouldn’t come with fine print. That’s why we’re one of the few NYC venues with a minimum spend model instead of confusing rental + service + gratuity fees that add up fast.
Here’s how it works:
Your total event spend simply needs to meet the minimum for your selected date and guest count — and you decide how to allocate it. No room fees, no hidden add-ons, and no surprise charges at the end.
This model gives you full flexibility and full transparency. You’ll know exactly where every dollar goes, and you’ll get the best deal possible at an already all-inclusive venue.
And unlike most venues, we do not accept gratuity. Every single member of our team is paid a living wage, so you can feel good knowing your event supports fair, equitable pay without any added costs.
Flavors Worth Celebrating
Forget dry chicken and finger sandwiches. At Deity, all-inclusive means more than convenience. It means flavor.
Deity’s Executive Chef James‘ menus rival NYC’s best restaurants, all prepared in-house, just downstairs from your event.
For seated dinners, guests savor dishes like 24-hour Braised Short Rib, Herb-Roasted Chicken with jus de vin blanc, and Roasted Salmon with miso sake glaze. Paired with vibrant starters and sides like Young Beets with chèvre and Pommes Purée with confit garlic. A menu that’s sure to please.
For more social celebrations, Deity’s Standing Dinner Menu brings the energy: Short Rib Sliders, Lemongrass Shrimp, Spicy Tuna Bites, and a Deity Crab Cake guests never forget. Add an interactive pasta or taco station for an experience that keeps everyone mingling.
At the bar, our mixologists serve up signature cocktails like the Downtown Girl (gin, Aperol, grapefruit, honey) and Smoke & Spice (mezcal, lime, habanero), along with elegant mocktails like the Phony Negroni.
Every bite and sip reflects what Deity does best: effortless sophistication, built right in.
Party-Ready Atmosphere, Built Right In
The hardest part of a New York holiday party? Creating a vibe that feels effortless.
Deity’s built-in sound and lighting system makes that easy. DJs love it, bands sound amazing on it, and your guests will actually dance instead of hovering near the bar pretending not to.
The architecture, exposed brick, stained glass, and that iconic central tree creates a warm, glowing holiday backdrop that doesn’t need extra décor.
