    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.

    We hosted a micro wedding at Rule of Thirds and Julie was the most accommodating and helpful. She took care of every little detail starting from the menu (and our guests with allergies) to the setup. The food was ABSOLUTELY delicious, zero regrets, really; and the spot we were able to book was cozy and private. I only wish we had hosted a bigger wedding so we could've gotten the room with the windows! Overall a beautiful experience.

    We had our 45-person welcome dinner here to kick off the wedding weekend and it was a dream! Honestly, lowkey wish we'd gone with it as our wedding venue. From the start the entire team was on the ball, communicative, flexible, and picking up what we were putting down. Our guests had a wonderful time—the food was absolutely delicious and they easily accommodated lots of allergies, everything was well timed, our guests were very cared for, and particular shout out to Lucia for running point day of seamlessly. They provided fun signature drinks and signage and played our playlist, which was an unexpected and awesome mood setting touch as well! Really can't say enough good things.

    We hosted our wedding reception at Rule of Thirds and we could not have been happier with the outcome! We worked with Julie and Mandy. Julie was super helpful in getting the process started and Mandy was our coordinator. Both were such wonderful people to work with. Made our vision for the reception come to life! The place itself is such a beautiful space for a reception anyways! The staff were so kind and great! We had a guest who wasn’t feeling well and the staff were there to assist and help them with their needs! We are both so happy we chose Rule of Thirds for our wedding celebration and all we got were compliments on the food, the staff, the venue!
