Rule of Thirds is the Best!
Deciding to get married at Rule of Thirds was easily the best decision we made during wedding planning. We got married there at the end of June and it was the perfect venue for a fun, warm, and meaningful celebration. From the staff to the food and drinks to the overall vibe, we had the best day imaginable. From the very beginning, Julie and Mandy were so great and easy to work with. The entire team is friendly, responsive, and flexible- ideal partners to work through ideas and vision. They are also especially accommodating with dietary needs, customizing the menu to fit our needs. They went above and beyond to prepare separate dishes for guests with restrictions so they wouldn't miss out on any of the delicious courses otherwise served family style. The food and drinks in general are amazing and unique. It is truly restaurant quality (and we love going back to the restaurant to eat some of the dishes that were on our wedding menu). We added on the hand roll station and sake tasting during the cocktail hour which were both big hits. Lastly, the space itself is beautiful and needs minimal additional florals or decor. The natural light (especially coming from the super cool skylight periscope), industrial touches, and warmth from the wood and plants all combine to create a chic and relaxed atmosphere. Overall we love RoT and could not recommend it enough. Once you explore the space and eat the food, you will also understand why it's so special. Thank you, thank you to the team for being so great and helping us have the best wedding day.
Rule of Thirds 10000/10!
Rule of Thirds was our top venue from the start of our wedding planning, and we’re so happy we went with them for the big day because it was executed flawlessly. We personally didn’t want our wedding to feel overly formal or stiff, but still wanted a chic, elevated vibe so Rule of Thirds was perfect for us. The space itself is already beautiful on its own, we loved the industrial aesthetic with the natural touches of the plants already there. It was nice to not feel pressure to spend out of our budget in terms of decorations, the florist and lighting rentals we brought in blended in seamlessly with the venue. For the food tasting, we weren’t able to make it since we’re currently based out of state, but my mom and her friend who live in the area stepped in for us. They called me the next day gushing about how much fun they had at dinner lol and said that they were very happy with all the food and drink they tried, making it hard to pick favorites. Communication with the events team was easy and efficient throughout the whole planning process. Our main contacts were Julie and Mandy, who were both incredibly cordial and hospitable. They were very responsive to all of our questions or notes too. They provided a great list of vetted vendor recommendations for you to choose from, and there were also no problems bringing in vendors outside of that. The staff who worked on the wedding day (bartenders, servers, etc.) were all really friendly and approachable, our friends and family all had pleasant interactions with them, and they even checked in on us throughout the night to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. One of my friends is considering Rule of Thirds as the venue for her upcoming wedding, so our wedding was essentially a trial run for her and her fiancé and they both left convinced - they loved it! The food was so well prepared and varied, there was something for everyone and all of our guests left happy and full. They were also very accommodating to our guests with food allergies / diet restrictions, and they enjoyed their meals as well (including one with a fish allergy)! Majority of our 120 guests were older relatives and family then the rest were friends our age (late 20s), and everyone collectively had a great time. Overall the venue covered everything we envisioned for our wedding and more, the food and drinks (both alcoholic and NA) were amazing, and it was the perfect environment. Thank you so much!!
Oct wedding at Rule of Thirds
The atrium space was such a dream. The skylight gave a celestial glow to the ceremony, and the reception area in the golden hour was so moody. The food was fantastic, to nobody's surprise - our guests kept on complimenting us on the food and drinks throughout the night and the next couple of days. The team's service was also impeccable. Highly recommend!
BOOK IT!!
From start to finish, the team at Rule of Thirds was an absolute pleasure to work with. They were incredibly responsive, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is truly stunning - the spacious and flexible layout allowed us to customize the space to perfectly suit our wedding vision. The food was an amazing culinary experience that all of our guests raved about, and the seamless onsite execution made the day feel effortless. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they even went above and beyond to help my friend print her speech when she realized she had forgotten it. I cannot recommend Rule of Thirds enough for any couple looking for an exceptional wedding venue with a top-notch team.
