The Venue: A Brooklyn Gem
Stephanie and Joe were captivated by Deity from the very beginning. “From the up-front pricing information, to the first tour with Caio, to securing our date, coming in for a menu tasting and having our planning meeting with Anna – every step of the way reinforced my confidence that choosing Deity as our wedding venue was the right choice!” Stephanie shared.
The historic building, converted into a four-story (plus rooftop!) event venue, offered a beautiful and versatile space for their celebration. The couple appreciated Deity’s all-inclusive approach, which provided dinnerware, linens, and all Deity decor, allowing them to focus on personal touches for their special day.
Love is in the Details
Stephanie and Joe paid tribute to the family members who have passed by crafting a memorial near their photo guestbook. The memorial featured framed photographs of their loved ones, surrounded by flickering candles and flowers, creating a touching and intimate space for guests to reflect and remember. They cleverly integrated instant photos taken during the celebration alongside the cherished old family photographs, beautifully bridging past and present in a heartwarming display of generational love and continuity.
Stephanie and Joe added many personal touches to their celebration, supported by a range of talented vendors:
- Decor Details: Matchbooks from Picture Perfect Papier, wood cake stand from Little Timber House, and a photo album guest book from Social Print Studio added unique elements to their decor.
- Flowers: Poppy created beautiful floral arrangements that enhanced the venue’s charm.
- Photography: Sarah Bode Clark captured the day’s magical moments.
- Cake: Mia’s Bakery provided a delicious wedding cake.
- Stationery: Paper products from Minted and Vistaprint added a personal touch to the invitations and day-of materials.
The Wedding Attire
Stephanie stunned in a Jenny Yoo dress, altered by Sew Elegant Bridal, complemented by a beaded veil from Tara Bridal.
Joe looked dapper in a suit from nearby Indochino, accessorized with cufflinks and a tie bar from Frank Happiness, and monogrammed socks from Nice Laundry.
Flawless Coordination and Execution
Anna, the venue’s coordinator, received high praise from the couple. “Anna was an incredible coordinator, so on top of everything and thoughtful,” Stephanie gushed. The day-of team’s professionalism and organization ensured a stress-free experience for the couple. “I honestly wasn’t stressed for a moment, because everyone was organized, calm and clearly loves what they do,” Stephanie recalled.
Igniting the Senses & Capturing the Spark
The all-inclusive package at Deity included a talented chef and DJ, both of whom exceeded expectations. Chef James created a delectable family-style dinner that left guests raving, while DJ BenHaMeen kept the party going with his ability to read the room and keep everyone dancing and singing “until the wee hours of the morning.”
Stephanie and Joe wanted their wedding to feel like “an amazing house party,” and Deity delivered perfectly. The venue’s layout and ambiance created the ideal setting for this intimate and joyous atmosphere.
As Stephanie summed it up, it was “Literally, the best day ever.” The couple’s choice of Deity Brooklyn as their venue, combined with their personal touches and the hard work of all involved, created an unforgettable celebration of love.
For couples seeking a unique, all-inclusive wedding experience in NYC, Stephanie and Joe’s magical day at Deity serves as a glowing recommendation.
