Deity Weddings and Events

Transformed Synagogue into an adequate celebration space.

We recently got married at Deity in November 2023, and we couldn't be happier with the entire day it was perfect! From start, when we first visited the venue in December 2022, to finish, our experience was nothing short of exceptional, and we wanted to share our thoughts and gratitude. The venue itself is simply breathtaking. The moment we stepped into Deity, you could tell it holds so much unique charm and elegance. The space comes already beautifully designed, which was helpful as we did not need tons of floral arrangements/extra decorations. We were thrilled to receive countless compliments from our guests about the ambiance, and the different floors really gave the whole night a special type of vibe. The stairs were not a problem for our guests. The food at Deity was outstanding. From the initial food tasting to the reception, every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. We received numerous compliments from our friends and family about the quality and variety of the menu. A special shout out is for the bridal suite the top floor area that we reserved for the entire day. We cannot understate how great this space was we spent literally all day there, starting at 10am, for getting ready, photos, etc. It is so perfect and everything you need! We also want to give a special shoutout to the DJ BenHaMeen who absolutely crushed the music throughout the whole evening. The energy and enthusiasm translated onto the dance floor and our guests had an incredible time dancing the night away, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Lastly, we want to express our appreciation to Anna, the onsite coordinator at Deity. Anna's professionalism, attention to detail, and excellent communication made the entire wedding planning process so much more manageable. She was always available to answer our questions and provide guidance. Thank you, Anna! Truly our wedding at Deity was an absolute dream come true. It had everything we were looking for in NYC, inclusive and with character. We highly recommend Deity to any couple looking for a wedding venue that exceeds expectations in every way.

Terrible service here. I attended a wedding here last night on 1/13/2024. Food came cold and was all self serve. I asked this guy for a fork and he rolled his eyes and told me to go ask someone else. This same guy was working the bar downstairs (young Latin guy), kept giving everyone dirty looks and looked like he did not want to be there. Hed tell us to not order off the cocktail menu because itll be faster, since hes probably too lazy to mix together multiple ingredients. But when you did order a cocktail hed roll his eyes and begrudgingly do it. All in all, the service was not good and not what you expect for a wedding. Drinks took a long time to arrive during dinner and our plates were never taken away once we all finished. Ive been to many weddings and even the worst venues, the staff try their best and you can tell, but not here. This bartender really ruined the vibe completely with his cold demeanor. The other bartender working (older white guy) was much better. Please get the latin guy out of the bar. A good bartender is important and this guy was absolutely terrible. I wish I got his name but I think management can figure out who it is based on the date.

Deity was the perfect spot for our non-traditional dark, romantic Friday the 13th October queer wedding! So much about the space and the team there really allows you do only the amount of DIY that YOU want to do. The space itself has beautiful character while still leaving plenty of room for your own personal vibe, and even if you brought literally nothing in it would photograph and feel beautiful. We did NOT do that- we had a huge design dream, and Anna and her team worked with us to make it happen and it was so beautiful! (I will say- keep it simpler than we did lol. Loading out that massive install ON the day was the only big bummer!!) In terms of food and bar- I worked in hospitality for a long time, so REALLY appreciated the ability to choose between an open bar or a consumption tab. Those open bar tabs are usually PADDED, and this transparency and choice was great. Our guests were all super impressed with the food- so much better than what you normally get at a catered wedding reception. Do the family style option! And again, they had everything set up to totally handle specialty cocktail menus, or are willing to let you come up with your own. The getting ready suite is an absolute MUST. SO MUCH SPACE, so many photo ops, and a HOT TUB?! Yes please. Anna and Caio are absolute pros and made our whole process really, really fun. I got sad when it was over mostly cause it meant I wasn't gonna see them until I could come up with another excuse to throw a party there!
