During the past fifteen years, a steadily increasing number of physicists have been contributing to the growth of a new field for scholarly inquiry: the learning and teaching of physics. We have by now a rich source of documented information in the many published reports of this research. At this point, it seems reasonable to ask whether we have learned anything from this collective experience that would be useful in current efforts to bring about innovative reform in the introductory course. Results from research indicate that at all levels of instruction the difference between what is taught and what is learned is often greater than most instructors realize. This discrepancy suggests the following question: Is there a corresponding mismatch between how we teach and how students learn?
Instruction in introductory physics has traditionally been based on the instructors view of the subject and the instructors perception of the student. Most teachers of physics are eager to transmit both their knowledge and enthusiasm. They hope that their students will acquire not only specific information and skills but also come to appreciate the beauty and power that the physicist finds in physics. Having obtained a particular insight after hours, days, months, or years of intellectual effort, they want to share this knowledge. To save students from going through the same struggles, instructors often teach from the top down, from the general to the particular. Generalizations are often fully formulated when they are introduced. Students are not actively engaged in the process of abstraction and generalization. Very little inductive thinking is involved; the reasoning is almost entirely deductive. By presenting general principles and showing how to apply them in a few special cases, instructors hope to teach students how to do the same in new situations.
In recalling how they were inspired by their own experience with introductory physics, many instructors tend to think of students as younger versions of themselves. In actual fact, such a description fits only a very small minority. Typically, in the U. S., no more than one in every 30 university students taking introductory physics will major in the subject. The trouble with the traditional approach is that it ignores the possibility that the perception of students may be very different from that of the instructor. Perhaps most students are not ready or able to learn physics in the way that the subject is usually taught.
The generalizations that appear below are based on results from research on the learning and teaching of physics. The evidence presented in support of the generalizations is taken from the cited articles on research by the Physics Education Group at the University of Washington. However, the same arguments could be based on findings by other investigators. Similar conclusions have also been reached by experienced instructors who have probed student understanding in less formal ways in the classroom.
A. Facility in solving standard quantitative problems is not an adequate criterion for functional understanding. Questions that require qualitative reasoning and verbal explanation are essential.
The criterion most often used in physics instruction as a measure of mastery of the subject is performance on standard quantitative problems. As course grades attest, many students who complete a typical introductory course can solve such problems satisfactorily.
However, they are often dependent on memorized formulas and do not develop a functional understanding of physics, i.e., the ability to do the reasoning needed to apply appropriate concepts and physical principles in situations not previously encountered. We illustrate this first generalization with examples from dynamics and electricity.
1. Example from dynamics: impulse-momentum and work-energy theorems
In an investigation conducted several years ago, we examined whether students could apply the impulse-momentum and work-energy theorems to a simple motion that they could observe.1, The motion was generated by applying a constant force to two objects of different mass over the same distance. Students were asked to compare the final momenta and kinetic energies of the objects. No calculations were needed to predict that the heavier object would have a greater momentum and that both would have the same kinetic energy. It was only necessary to understand the relationship between impulse and momentum and the relationship between work and kinetic energy. For a response to be considered correct, both the right comparison and the proper reasoning were required.
Data were gathered in individual demonstration interviews. The 28 students who participated came from two classes: an honors section of calculus-based physics and a regular section of algebra-based physics. Responses ranged from random formula searches to conscious attempts to apply the theorems. Only a few honors students were able to give satisfactory answers initially. With step-by-step guidance, most of these students eventually succeeded. Even with help, however, virtually no one in the algebra-based course was able to apply the concepts of impulse and work to make a correct comparison. There was a similar lack of success when written versions of the tasks were presented in a regular section of calculus-based physics. Among the many errors was the failure of most students to recognize the cause-and-effect relationships inherent in the theorems. Some seemed to treat the symbol "=" as if it represented only a mathematical relationship in which the variables may take on any values, provided the equality is maintained.
2. Example from electricity: electric circuits
We have been investigating student understanding of electric circuits over a period of several years. One task that has proved particularly effective for eliciting common difficulties is based on three simple circuits consisting of identical bulbs and ideal batteries. One circuit has a single bulb; another has two bulbs in series; the third has two bulbs in parallel. Students are asked to rank the five bulbs according to relative brightness and to explain their reasoning. This comparison requires no calculations. A simple qualitative model, in which bulb brightness is related to current or potential difference, is sufficient.
We have administered this task to more than 500 university students. Almost every possible bulb order has appeared. Whether before or after instruction, only about 15% of the students in a typical calculus-based course give the correct ranking. We have obtained the same results from high school physics teachers and from university faculty who teach other sciences and mathematics. Many people who are unable to rank the bulbs properly can use Ohms law and Kirchhoffs rules to solve more complicated problems. Evidently, success on standard problems is not a reliable indicator of functional understanding.
B. A coherent conceptual framework is not typically an outcome of traditional instruction. Students need to participate in the process of constructing qualitative models that can help them understand relationships and differences among concepts.
Perhaps the most serious difficulty that we have identified is failure to integrate related concepts into a coherent framework. Rote use of formulas is common. To solve standard problems, mathematical manipulation may suffice. To be able to apply a concept in a variety of contexts, however, students must not only be able to define that concept but also relate it to others. They also need to differentiate that concept from related concepts.
The question on ranking the bulbs was first administered several years ago on a course examination in a standard calculus-based course. Lacking a conceptual model on which to base predictions, most students relied on intuition or formulas. About 40% used algebra to find the equivalent resistances of the series and parallel circuits, substituted the values into the formula for the power dissipated in a resistor, and associated the results with the brightness of individual bulbs in the series and parallel networks. Such errors revealed a failure to differentiate between two related concepts: the resistance of an element and the equivalent resistance of a network containing that element.
A general instructional strategy that we have found useful for helping students relate electrical concepts and distinguish one from another is to engage them actively in the intellectual process of constructing a qualitative model for an electric circuit. Development of the model is based on observations of the behavior of batteries and bulbs, preferably through experiments that the students themselves perform.
Experience has shown that emphasis on concept development and model-building does not detract from performance on quantitative problems. Many students need explicit instruction on problem-solving procedures to develop the requisite skills. However, once equations are introduced, students often avoid thinking of the physics involved. Postponing use of algebraic formalism until after a qualitative understanding has been developed has proved to be an effective approach. Although less time is spent on numerical problem-solving, examination results indicate that students who have learned in this way often do better than others on quantitative problems and much better on qualitative questions.
C. Certain conceptual difficulties are not overcome by traditional instruction. Persistent conceptual difficulties must be explicitly addressed by multiple challenges in different contexts.
Some student difficulties disappear during the normal course of instruction. Others seem to be highly resistant to change. If sufficiently serious, they may preclude meaningful learning, even though performance on quantitative problems may be unaffected. An example of a common difficulty that research has shown to be especially persistent is the apparently intuitive belief that current is "used up" in a circuit.
Deep-seated difficulties cannot be overcome through assertion by the instructor. Active learning is essential for a significant conceptual change to occur. An instructional strategy that we have found effective for obtaining the necessary intellectual commitment from students is to generate a conceptual conflict and to require them to resolve it. A useful first step is to elicit a suspected difficulty by contriving a situation in which students are likely to make a related error. Once the difficulty has been exposed and recognized, the instructor must insist that students confront and resolve the issue. Unlike physicists, students may be willing to tolerate inconsistency.
A single encounter is rarely sufficient to overcome a serious difficulty. Students do not make the same mistakes under all circumstances; the context may be critical. Unless challenged with a variety of situations capable of evoking a given difficulty, students may simply memorize the answer for a particular case. To be able to integrate counter-intuitive ideas into a coherent framework, they need time to apply the same concepts and reasoning in different contexts, to reflect upon these experiences and to generalize from them.
D. Growth in reasoning ability does not usually result from traditional instruction. Scientific reasoning skills must be expressly cultivated.
An important factor in the difficulties that students have with certain concepts is an inability to do the qualitative reasoning that may be necessary for applying the concept. It is often impossible to separate difficulties with concepts from difficulties with reasoning. An error may be a symptom of an underlying conceptual or reasoning difficulty, or a combination of both.
A failure to think holistically in dealing with compound systems is one kind of reasoning difficulty that may be hard to disentangle from conceptual confusion. For example, in predicting bulb brightness, students often considered only the order of a bulb in an array. Many claimed that the first bulb in a series network was the brightest. This error is consistent with the misconception that current is "used up" and also with improper use of local sequential reasoning. For interacting systems, such as elements in an electric circuit, it is impossible to predict the behavior of one without taking into account the effect of the others. However, instead of considering the circuit as a whole, many students focused on only one bulb at a time. The conservation of current was an abstraction for which they might be able to write an equation but which they could not apply to a qualitative problem.
Predicting the effect of a change in a circuit requires a more sophisticated level of holistic reasoning. In one task, students were shown a circuit diagram in which a network containing two branches in parallel was connected in series with other bulbs. The students were asked to predict what would happen to the brightness of a bulb in one branch of the parallel network when the other branch was removed. A common response was that the brightness would not change. Often the explanation given was that the bulb was part of a parallel combination. In treating the parallel branches as independent, the students were not recognizing the difference between parallel branches connected across a battery and parallel branches connected elsewhere. Instead of using qualitative reasoning to check that their predictions were consistent with what they knew about current and potential difference, the students relied on a rule that they had incorrectly memorized.
Traditional instruction does not challenge but tends to reinforce a perception of physics as a collection of facts and formulas. Students often do not recognize the critical role of reasoning in physics, nor do they understand what constitutes an explanation. They need practice in solving qualitative problems and in explaining their reasoning. However, they are unlikely to persevere at developing facility in scientific reasoning unless the course structure, including the examinations, emphasizes the importance of this ability.
E. Connections among concepts, formal representations, and the real world are often lacking after traditional instruction. Students need repeated practice in interpreting physics formalism and relating it to the real world.
Students are often unable to relate the concepts and formal representations of physics to one another and to the real world. An inability to interpret equations, diagrams and graphs underlies many conceptual and reasoning difficulties.
1. Difficulty with algebraic representations: example from dynamics
Performance on the impulse-momentum and work-energy comparison tasks illustrated the difficulty students frequently have in relating algebraic formalism to physical concepts and to the real world. The demonstration creates a simple physical situation in which the relevant theorems can be applied. Nevertheless, few students have been able to connect the mathematical statement of the theorems to the motion of the pucks.
2. Difficulty with diagrammatic representations: example from optics
In another investigation, students who had studied geometrical optics participated in interviews in which they were shown a demonstration that consisted of an object, a thin converging lens and an inverted real image on a screen. One of the tasks was to predict the effect of covering half of the lens. Most students claimed that half of the image would disappear. The ray diagrams that they drew sometimes reinforced this mistaken intuition. Two of the special rays were often shown as blocked. In interpreting their diagrams, the students indicated that these rays were necessary for forming the image, rather than merely convenient for locating its position.
3. Difficulty with graphical representations: example from kinematics
Student understanding of the graphical representation of motion has been a long-term research interest of our group., In one task from this ongoing study, students are shown a ball rolling along a track and given a diagram of the motion with a description similar to the following: The ball moves with steady speed on the level segment of the track, speeds up as it moves down an incline, and then continues at a higher constant speed on the last segment. The students are told that position is measured along the track and are asked to represent the motion in graphs of position, velocity and acceleration versus time. The task has been presented to several hundred students who have studied kinematics. Few students in the standard calculus-based course have produced correct graphs.
We have also examined student difficulties with the reverse process: visualization of a real motion from its graphical representation. The ability to relate actual motions and their graphical representations does not automatically develop with acquisition of simple graphing skills, such as plotting points, reading coordinates and finding slopes. Students need practice in translating both ways: from motion to graphs and from graphs to motion.
F. Teaching by telling is an ineffective mode of instruction for most students. Students must be intellectually active to develop a functional understanding.
All the examples of student difficulties discussed above share a common feature: the subject matter involved is not difficult. Many instructors expect university students who have studied the relevant material to be able to answer the types of questions that have been illustrated. Yet, in each instance, we found that a large percentage of students could not do the basic reasoning necessary. On certain types of tasks, the outcome did not vary much from one traditionally taught class to another, nor did it matter when in the course the problems were posed. Enrollment in the associated laboratory course also did not appear to affect the quality of student performance. Moreover, there was no correlation between the success of students and the reputation of the course instructor as a lecturer.
The difficulties that students have in physics are not usually due to failure of the instructor to present the material correctly and clearly. No matter how lucid the lecture, nor how accomplished the lecturer, meaningful learning will not take place unless students are intellectually active. Those who learn successfully from lectures, textbooks and problem-solving do so because they constantly question their own comprehension, confront their difficulties and persist in trying to resolve them. Most students taking introductory physics do not bring this degree of intellectual independence to their study of the subject.
Although the traditional lecture and laboratory format has disadvantages, it may be the only mode possible when the number of students is large. Such instruction, however, need not be a passive learning experience. There are several techniques that instructors of large classes can use to promote active participation by students in the learning process.
The generalizations about learning and teaching presented above have been derived from investigations of student understanding in the context of classical physics. We believe, however, that they have broad applicability and should be taken into account in current efforts to introduce new topics and new technology into the introductory course.
Physicists generally assume that students will find contemporary topics inspiring. It has been our experience, however, that few students are motivated by exposure to material that they do not understand. Instead, the outcome may only confirm a belief that physics is too difficult for most people. There is also great enthusiasm about the potential of the computer for enhancing student learning in physics, especially modern physics. Although there is reason for optimism, our experience suggests a need for caution. Success on a computer task does not necessarily indicate development of a skill that can be transferred to other environments. Even a highly interactive program does not insure that students will make the mental commitment necessary for significant concept development to occur.
Perhaps the most significant contribution that research in physics education can make to the improvement of instruction is to underscore the importance of focusing greater attention on the student. The successful incorporation of contemporary topics or advanced technology into the introductory course is likely to depend as much on how the material is taught as on what is taught. To insure that the curriculum that is developed will be well-matched to the students for whom it is intended, there is a need for research on the learning and teaching of both classical and modern topics, with and without the computer.8
Meaningful learning, which connotes the ability to interpret and use knowledge in situations different from those in which it was initially acquired, requires that students be intellectually active. Development of a functional understanding cannot take place unless students themselves go through the reasoning involved in the development and application of concepts. Moreover, to be able to transfer a reasoning skill learned in one context to another, students need multiple opportunities to use that same skill in different contexts. The entire process requires time. Inevitably, this constraint places a limit on both the breadth of material that can be covered and the pace at which instruction can progress. New topics cannot be added without omitting others. Choices must be made. Unless we design instruction to meet the needs and abilities of students, efforts to update the teaching of introductory physics will produce little of either intellectual or motivational value.

1st Grade SS1 Goku had a power level of 150 million on Namek. 1st Grade SS1 Trunks seems to be comparable to that Goku. A cybernetic 100% Freeza would surely be beyond 120 million. Due to this reasoning, I feel it would be hard to say who the victor would be had Freeza gone all out.

So, what are you guys telling me? Freeza and Cold just kinda let Trunks beat them? Doesn't make any sense, and also the whole point of that scene was to show how strong Trunks was, so I think no amount of powering up would have altered the outcome.

Watching Freeza split in half and then chopped into little chunks... I didn't expect it to be this graphic. That was definitely censored when I saw it on TV years ago and it was wierd seeing the same scene again, but like this.
I've always wondered how the fight would have played out if Trunks wasn't there (besides the expected dragged out battle with tons of explosions) More so with Cold. You never get to see him go all out afterall.

I'm still not fully convinced. Granted, what you're saying is true in that they weren't taking Trunks seriously enough. Still, Goku is supposed to have undergone a power-up since his first encounter with Freeza, stemming from increased exposure to SSJ form. Trunks would have already had this, and is used to fighting opponents much stronger than Freeza and Cold. So maybe they could have taken him seriously and lasted a little bit longer, but I think it would have been quick and easy for Trunks either way, especially given the nature of the scene.

Oh, it definitely would have been easy, but probably not quick. He'd probably have to break a sweat if both of them attacked him seriously at the same time.
Also, if King Cold had more transformations lying in wait, that could've posed problems.

people, ENOUGH with the 120/150 mill with freeza/goku!
yeah, Daizenshuu says so - BUT AKIRA TORYAMA stated that it's a mistake in an interview!
last measured power level is one where freeza states that his 2nd form has about a million.
and no OFFICIAL power levels were stated afterwards, and, in an interview with Akira, he SAID that it was about 15 mill for goku, and printing mistake in the Daizenshuu was with one more zero!
think about it yourself - powerups are to increase fighters power for about 2x, 3x, in the Kaioken instance, it goes to 20x, but, if you want to believe that Freeza full has 240x times his first suppressed form - then you are just dumb. it is as just as you compare the power of a bicycle, with a Sukhoi Su 47
site that got shut down - DBZGTLEGACY had the most probable power levels, but i cant find similar list anywhere.

I think there's no mistake. No estimations of power level coming from fans will ever convince me that Trunks didn't dominate and slash up Freeza into fine pork chops. That's because he just did.
I'll believe power levels when I'll see them coming from Toriyama.

I know that Trunks killed Freeza easily. No one is disputing that. But my point is that Freeza didn't use his full power, so things may have gone down differently in that scenario.

Daizenshuu states Goku's base power when starting his fight with Frieza as 3m, and they're evenly matched, right? And it isn't far-fetched at all to think that Frieza's last form has a base power of 3m, right?
But then Frieza goes up to 25%, and Goku needs to use 10x kaioken (which leaves him at 30m) to keep up. Then Frieza goes up to 50%, and Goku uses 20X kaioken (60m).... so, think of Frieza's power ups as a sort of Kaioken and it makes sense... it also explain why he can't sustain his full power for a long period of time.

Perhaps Freeza underestimated him. But what about how easily he was dispatched? One sword strike and it was over. The androids in History of Trunks could avoid and or grab the sword. What about Frieza? If he was as strong as you make it sound, he could've brought his mechanical arm up and defended himself if he was fast enough to parry the blow. He wasn't. And he was in final form.
If you mean to say he was waiting to be struck by a sword, his look of absolute fear didn't make it look like he intended it to happen.
Then King Cold comes in and assumes the sword actually defeated his son. He has no reason to be underestimating Trunks. He is dispatched with one Ki blast and begging for his life before the next one ends him.
I'm sorry, I really couldn't care less about power levels. They mean nothing at this stage. Saying Frieza could put up a fight is baseless. Nothing even hints that he was able to do it except fanmade numbers, fanmade logic and fanmade interpretation.
aka I'm done here.

Plymouth State College will hold a press conference at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, October 10 in the lobby of the Legislative Office Building in Concord, announcing a new scholarship program to recognize New Hampshire's top scholars for their academic achievement in high school.
Over the last five years, Plymouth State has increasingly raised its admission standards and improved student performance. The new scholarship program is the next step in the process, and an effort to keep New Hampshire students in New Hampshire.
"We believe increasing the number of New Hampshire students who stay in the state to earn their college degrees will have a positive impact on the New Hampshire workforce of the future," says PSC President Don Wharton.
The new scholarships are in direct response to the KEEP initiative -Knowledge Economy Education Plan for New Hampshire – developed by the University System of New Hampshire (USNH) along with a coalition of New Hampshire business leaders, lawmakers and educators. Its goal was to obtain capital funds for construction and renovation of USNH facilities. Earlier this year the KEEP initiative succeeded in receiving unprecedented support from the legislature with their approval of $100 million over a six-year period. To further fuel the knowledge economy of the state, KEEP wants to provide the skilled workers New Hampshire's high-tech industry needs.

African Americans: From Subjugation to Discrimination
Period 1/Sociology
Denise Delgado
Stephanie Pelayo
Daniel Guerrero
Inter-group relations began as a major factor with different groups or in other words race relations. Groups like the Africans experienced all levels of relations when brought to the United States. They experienced all levels such as:
Prejudicial behavior from whites
The Risks of having Ethnic Names
University of Chicago economist Researchers Marianne Betrand and Sendhil Mullainathan field Experiment Study
"Are Emily and Greg More Employable Than Lakisha and Jamal?"
white names got one callback for every 10 resumes blacks got one callback for every 15 resumes
a higher quality resume with a white sounding name made it 30 percent more likely to illicit a job call back
a higher quality resume with a black name made it only 9 percent more likely to illicit a callback
Background Information
- Discrimination began when the U.S was developing
- dated to have begin since 1619 with the beginning of slavery.
Criminal Justice System
Black men born in the United States in 2001 have a one in three chance of being incarcerated at some point in their lifetime
black men receive sentences 10 percent longer than whites and hispanics for the same crime
20 percent of blacks will get sentenced to prison compared to whites and hispanics
Criminal Justice System
Racial Discrimination is a serious problem in the Judicial system. 98 percent of judges are white. Black men are 8 times more likely to be put in prison then white men. when it comes to being given the death penalty 74 percent are given to black men
Robert E. Park
Sociologists such as Robert Park was known for his works studying the African Americans' way of living when he was a journalist. These studies had remained important when he was also a teacher and researcher at Chicago, Illinois.
He even studied how society evolved and of how civilizations were drawn to an influence of race relations among the people of not only the United States, but in every other country.
- American Civil War was fought to abolish slavery
- abolished by Congress January 31, 1865
- The end of slavery didn't stop segregation and discrimination.
- The Civil Rights Act of 1964
African American unemployment rate is more than double that of whites.
- Experts believe that there are three main challenges they face when seeking jobs.
1. They encounter bias while job-hunting
2. Their communities have weaker job networks in place.
3. Credit checks by potential employers often work against them
Unemployment rate is 13%
The annual median income of Black households in 2010 was 32,068. A decline of 3.2% percent from 2009
- 27.4% of African Americans live in poverty. (2010)
- Increased to 28.1% in 2012
- Generally Blacks are living in poverty more than any other race
- 11.5% of Americans life in government housing or section 8 housing.
- The middle class White family, about 72%, owns their homes, while only about 46% of the middle class Black family owns their homes.

For dancing, guests can head down to the entertaining floor to continue the festivities. Unique details throughout Deity Events really make this spot one to remember. The venue can accommodate up to 300 guests for a cocktail reception or 150 for a seated reception.

We hosted our wedding at Deity this May 2017 and have nothing but compliments for the staff, venue, and overall experience. We chose a Saturday afternoon wedding to make it convenient for our guests. The planning process was very smooth with Yulia and Caio guiding us along the... Read More way – from setting the schedule and selecting the menu to arranging the DJ call, Deity was really supportive throughout the planning process and gave us friendly and helpful advice. Here is what we liked the most about Deity (in no particular order). 1) Food was really great and plentiful - the everything crusted tuna, leg of lamb, mac and cheese, among other dishes, were delicious as mains, while the hor dourves were so tasty (lobster rolls, crab cakes, steak toasts, dips, grilled cheeses in particular). We all ate so much! My guests told me that they didn't expect such great food at a wedding venue and it was a great community experience to have it served family style by table 2) Venue is beautiful and unique, while being very accessible to public transit – I loved the 3 floor design which separated the ceremony space, reception area, and dance floor. The venue lighting and decorations itself meant that we didn't have to worry about flowers/additional decorations, which was very nice. The space itself is really memorable – not generic at all, as each floor has a completely different 'feel' which was really exciting to guests 3) Extremely supportive and professional staff – Everything went so smooth from arranging the ceremony entrances, keeping us on schedule for all the main events, and directing guest flow to helping one of my husband's elderly guests manage the stairs and getting me a slice of cake that I wanted to eat (we had 10 different flavors). The staff was very friendly throughout and accommodating, and they had a sophisticated ear-piece communication system that helped coordinate any requests quickly. DJ Jamal also did a fantastic job in handling some of our quirkier music requests (IE: Chinese 'oldies' music from the 1970s for my parents). This meant that on the day, everything was completely handled for us so that we could just enjoy, relax, and savor the moment rather than worrying about details 4) Small touches to make the day so special – Throughout the day, Deity staff helped arrange some private moments between my husband and me which made my wedding even more special 5) Planning was extremely easy – Especially when I compared myself to friends who had to worry separately about coordinating many vendors (DJ, caterer, florist, wedding planner, fixture provider), Deity centralized all these critical components and made it very efficient. Especially when comparing to some of my friends, I think the amount of effort involved in planning was cut down by at least ~70-80%, which is great for busy people 6) Amazing value and great one price bundle - I really liked the one price bundle (fixed price inclusive of all service/tax – very transparent) and we got so much happiness and value from what we spent I really can't think of many draw-backs. We had ~80 guests at our wedding – this space would do less well with a massive wedding I'd like to add that I don't typically write reviews but felt compelled to since Deity is really deserving of all the praise that you've likely seen in other reviews. I honestly don't know how my wedding could have turned out better and I now have so many wonderful memories
From the bottom of our hearts thank you for this touching review. The entire staff feels great pride in what we do and are individually overjoyed with such compliments you have just given us. I hope you get a chance to be our guest again... Read Less Read More
My one-liner if you don't read the rest: I wish I was a guest at our own wedding so that I could have enjoyed the lovely evening at Deity without the inevitable stresses that comes with being a bride. It was that good and this is all thanks to the amazing service and space. Our... Read More wedding surpassed our expectations and was beautifully orchestrated thanks to Caio and his wonderful staff. Deity was the only venue we checked out and we knew it was the right space for us immediately. Once we locked in the date, Caio handled all of the correspondence and planning from beginning to end. As far as weddings go, he made the whole process stress-free. He is super responsive and takes each wedding very seriously. This is no conveyor belt type of place. 2 months ahead of the wedding, we had a sit down with Caio to go through the day of schedule. Caio was patient, detailed, accommodative and touched upon every little aspect of the wedding (super important!) during the meeting. STAFF: Caio and the staff were attentive and accommodative. They tended to our needs and went out of the way to handle a few of our special requests. Anna was assigned to ensure I was attended to, she even helped with holding my dress as I walked up and down the stairs. The service was impeccable and just seamless. Without us asking, the staff even helped move some of the flowers from the reception down to the cellar to ensure the cake and cupcake display was at its finest. Thanks to Caio and his staff, the two of us did not need to worry about a thing. FOOD & DRINKS: Delicious. I wish I can go back for a meal! Regarding the drinks, as our friend said - the drinks kept coming out. Two thumbs up! Bottom line, the staff were on their A-game throughout the night; our friends still rave about how great of a time they had at Deity.
My husband and I had our wedding at Deity October 22, 2016. While we knew our day would be special we truly could not have asked for a better evening. Shortly after we got engaged we both decided we didn't want a typical stuffy, ballroom "purple lighting" extravaganza of a... Read More wedding. We wanted something small, intimate, unique, something that fit both of our personalities. I, take credit for finding Deity, a venue that literally fit every thing we were looking for. From our first walk through we knew it was perfect. The exposed brick walls, the wood floors, the romantic lighting throughout the entire space...complete perfection. Throughout the wedding planning process Caio, the owner of the venue was so awesome to work with. He was extremely responsive to emails and very patient with me the bride (aka wedding planner). I've never planned a big event before and while I pride myself on my organizational skills there was still a lot of blanks that needed to be filled in..which Caio was happy to do. Our vendors, all recommended by Deity, were top notch as well. Charlotte from Floral Heights and Nikola from Le Image Photography were a pleasure to work with. The evening of our wedding could not have gone better. The entire staff at Deity is truly amazing! Yulia, our day of coordinator, in particular was beyond words. She was super organized, thoughtful, patient, and extremely attentive to detail, both of our families, and each one of our guests. She often checked in with our parents throughout the night and my husband's parents (both of which would tell us if they were unimpressed) could not have been more pleased. One of the best moments of the night for me was after the ceremony Yulia and the staff had set up a small candlelit table full of hors d'oeuvres and two glasses of champagne for just us. Caio had mentioned this to us prior (he had said how important it was for us to take a moment to gather our thoughts and relish in the fact that we just got married!!) but this honestly was so perfect. It was exactly what my husband and I needed after such a busy, exhausting day and a big rejuvenation before several more hours of being "on". Dinner was great. The food was delicious. We went with the BBQ chicken and filet as main courses and I cannot tell you how yummy the BBQ chicken was. My husband's step father commented that the filet was so tender you could cut it with a butter knife. Definitely not would you would expect from a wedding venue. Jamal, the DJ was great as well. We gave him our request of mostly 90's and 2000's music and he delivered. He kept the crowd and energy up until the very end. At my request my cousin put together a slide show for what I thought would just be our rehearsal dinner. When I asked if it was possible to show at the wedding (just a week or two before) Caio was more than happy to accommodate. He literally said have her bring her laptop and we'll do the rest. The night of, screens came down from the ceiling and everyone was able to enjoy the show without a glitch. I would absolutely recommend Deity for your wedding. The space itself has so much character and the staff is simply icing on the cake. Obviously, the staff does this every weekend but they honestly make you feel like everything that is done is done just for you. They make you feel how you should on your wedding day...special!!!
Wouldn't know where to begin of how beautiful this venue is and how amazing the people are there. Ciao and Yulia were extremely helpful through out the whole experience . The FOOD is Delicious I was such an amazing beautiful experience. we had Dips served with Pita Bread to die... Read More for the Mini Kale Caesar Salad delicious Cuban Sandwich, boneless Chicken, Red Eye Gravy, Maple Butter amazing for the family style dinner we had the ribs and mac & cheese. loved it !!! The venue is Gorgeous in itself you really don't need to add any décor to it . Everyone exceeded out expectations it was an amazing experience in itself.
Long overdue review, but surely I wouldn't miss giving super thumbs up to Caio and his team at Deity. We got married, ceremony and reception, in November 2016. Our evening was superb!! The place was exceptionally great, music, food, staff, bar! All our guests talk about how... Read More beautiful and great it was. We wish we were guests in our own wedding! Jamal was an excellent DJ, he incorporated what we wanted and understood our eclectic music taste. I'm Latina and my husband is Irish/Italian - American. :-) The Chef prepared food to perfection, this was the most important part for me. I didn't want the bad food typically done in huge catering hall "steak" or "chicken", Deity delivered gourmet plates to perfection. The chef has his own restaurant called "Pino Wine Bar" where he masters small plates and great drink selections. I knew we needed him to cater our wedding. Especial thanks to Yulia, Deity's event day manager, she was excellent! She made sure that the newlyweds were taken care of at all times. She placed the little touches of decor that made it our own, beautifully. Everything ran smoothly, she was the woman in charge! Overall, we thank you! Looking forward to using your venue in the future (smaller events).
Thank you so much for an amazing wedding! Deity is a beautiful and versatile space, filled with people who actually care about your special event. Our day of planner Yulia was a complete joy to work with. Her attention to detail, timing and special requests were greatly... Read More appreciate. She did everything she could to make our day special. Yulia was everywhere we needed her to be and kept the day running smooth. My husband jonathan and I couldn't have asked for a better experience and are still getting calls and texts a week later about the food, the venue and the music. Their in house DJ Jamal really made our reception perfect as well. Thank you so much to Yulia, Jamal, Ciao and the entire crew at Deity. You gave us a very special wedding day for which we will never forget!! Ashley and Jonathan Mondesire
My husband and I got married at Deity Events on October 7th 2017. From beginning to end, it was an amazing experience. Staff- Caio and his staff are 5 stars. They are well informed, honest, calm, and there for you in every way. The team was constantly in communication and was... Read More always there to help and offer wonderful ideas. On the actual day of the wedding, Yulia and Jason were AMAZING. I didn't have to do anything, or think of anything, my wine glass was never empty. My guests, family and my husband and I couldn't have been more pleased. Venue- Deity is beautiful. It is 3 floors of lights, candles, exposed brick, and stain glass windows. All we had to do is add flowers, and that was it. Deity also provided a list of vendors for our every need that covered every price range. Our photographs came out beautiful with their lovely backgrounds. DJ- We had Jamal who was awesome. He understood everything we wanted, and we all burned up the dance floor. He was kind, funny, and had great communication skills. Just perfect. Food- Deity comes with their own chef and catering system. They offer many menus and cover your every need. I am still hearing about how good the food was. The Chef is hilarious and works one and one with you in his restaurant offering a sampling of similar foods. They set aside appetizers, dinner, and desert for my husband and I on our wedding day, making sure we ate and that guests every need was attended to. Deity is an all inclusive experience that is stress free and easy. Every single person, from Owner, to manager, to bartender, to server, is smiley, friendly, patient, and understanding. I wish I could do I all over again!
My husband and I had our ceremony and reception at Deity on December 17, 2016. I have to say it was a perfect night and the staff ensured everything went smoothly and seamlessly, especially our day-of-coordinator (already included in the price) Yulia who bent over backwards for... Read More every small request, she even helped me with my bustle at one point. The food was fantastic, our favorites included the kobe sliders & sushi for cocktail hour and the tuna & steak for dinner. I cannot tell you how many guests came up to us after the wedding to tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I totally attribute it to the beautiful ambiance, delicious food, and helpful staff. The only downside would be for the bride who is very particular and wants to choose specific tables, chairs, linens, as those are all included within the venue already so their is some limited flexibility. But honestly, unless you're a total type A bride, the package includes great decor, linens, tableware, etc. Overall an amazing experience, I love that the venue only focuses on weddings and special events so you know you are the focus of all their attention.
I can't recommend Deity highly enough. They should actually probably be charging more than they do. There are a few major things that attracted us to Deity when we first picked it as our venue: --The simplicity: nearly everything is included. As you may discover looking at... Read More other venues, many venues in New York include basically nothing. The caterers have to assemble (and charge you for) a mobile kitchen; chairs and tables and sound equipment have to be rented; if you want a couch for people to relax on during cocktail hour, that has to be rented too. I guess that's great if there is one particular shade of eggshell that your ceremony chairs absolutely must be, but for the rest of us it is insanely complicated and very expensive. By contrast Deity includes just about everything -- the only outside vendors we were coordinating with the day of were the cake, the favors for guests, and the photographer. DJ, food, drink, furniture, and basic decor are all included. You could add flowers or more decor if you wanted, but we did nothing but the standard Deity package, and honestly it was plenty and totally perfect -- save your money. --The price: I don't know if you can call any New York City wedding "cheap", but this place was definitely one of the best value options we looked at. All of those extra rentals and service fees from other vendors really add up. Our entire venue, food, and beverage cost with Deity (which also included DJ) was less than the budget just for caterers at many other venues. And there is less nickel-and-diming: many other venues charge a 20% service fee but you are then expected to provide a second gratuity. Deity does charge a 20% gratuity but it is actually exactly that. --The venue: We loved the venue from the first time we saw it. Having three different spaces keeps things fun and interesting through the evening and keeps people excited about wondering what's coming next. --The team: Everyone we worked with at Deity was excellent. We booked well in advance of our ceremony and Caio, the owner, was happy to answer questions every few months as plans came together. And he and the rest of the team were very responsive and helpful in the weeks before the ceremony as we got down to business. The day of the ceremony, Yulia, our coordinator, was a marvel. She was constantly on the go making sure the various staff members were keeping everything moving and that the guests were enjoying themselves. She also made sure that my husband and I had drink refills whenever needed and found time for us to have a few quiet moments to ourselves away from the rest of the guests to savor the moment. And she was constantly serving as a one-woman concierge, lost-and-found, and traffic director, and made sure all of our items to take with us were gathered by the end of the night. And the DJ, Jamal, was excellent. We had a fantastic dance party. I will admit there were a few small downsides to Deity relative to some other venues we looked at: There could be a bit of a line for the bathrooms at times. They don't include the same sort of bridal suite or all-day access to the facilities benefits that some other properties offer. And of course you are limited to only the items offered on the menu rather than any caterer of your choice. But most venues that offer all of those things cost nearly, if not more than, twice as much.
This review is 6 months overdue, but still had to be written. We got married at Deity in April of 2016. We had looked at a few other venues before seeing Deity, but immediately after our tour I called Caio to book a date. Everything about the process was simple and relaxed.... Read More Being a teacher, I have limited time to be on the phone so it helped that Caio was comfortable answering questions via email and was always available to relay information pertaining to our wedding. When we went a bit off script with the format of our night, Caio insisted on being part of our planning meeting to ensure that everything would go how we envisioned our wedding night. Truly, from start to finish, Deity was a pleasure to work with. I cannot thank Caio enough for his patience with me and for his honesty when discussing parts of a wedding I thought I had to have, but really didn't want to have. He is truly a professional and knows the business. Caio was great, but hats off to Jay who made us fall in love with Deity in the first place. We loved the feel of the space as well as the décor. I also really liked that it felt like "Brooklyn" while still having elegance which matched our style completely. Jay offered answers to the questions I had as well as the overload of questions my parents had. We took his word on doing the passed food format (as opposed to a sit down dinner) and I couldn't have been happier. We picked some heartier hors d'oeuvres off the menu, and everything Chef Jason Bunin put out was AMAZING. I still have dreams about the food six months later. Jay kept in touch with us all night about our bar tab without making us feel uncomfortable. He even noticed that people were still eating later in the night and sent out chicken fingers and fries for guests to snack on. We brought in our own cake for cutting as well as mini cupcakes and cookies for dessert, and everything was set up beautifully when we arrived downstairs. DJ Trauma listened to our music directions (which I think were "we want to dance, and we want everyone to dance with us") and people danced the entire night. Overall, I would recommend Deity to anyone for any event.
We had our wedding at Deity on August 13th, 2016 and couldn't be happier with our decision. We wanted to have a beautiful, fun, stress free, reasonably priced wedding. This is a tall order in NYC, but that's exactly what we got with Deity. Planning was a breeze and you can... Read More really do as much or as little as you want to personalize your day. The wonderful team and the beautiful space make it really easy to have a great event. We had about 85 wedding guests and felt like Deity was a good size but could have easily fit 20-25 more comfortably. Space - The space is split into three floors- The Loft, where the ceremony and dinner take place, The Lounge, where the cocktail hour happens and The Cellar which is usually used for dancing. We only used The Loft and The Lounge areas since we had a few older guests that would not be able to make it down the stairs to The Cellar. We used The Lounge for dancing and absolutely loved it. We were skeptical about the size of the space for dancing but it really is much larger than it seems once people are in it. It was a great size for our party and could have fit a bit more comfortably. We even were able to fit a photo booth! Each level is so beautiful that you don't need to do much in terms of flowers or other decor. Deity decorates the space with candles in hurricane vases throughout, which give it a really nice vibe. We did our own small centerpieces of succulents, roses and anemones in gold mason jars and thought they went perfectly with the decor. Service - Caio, James, Yulia and the entire Deity staff are a fantastic bunch of people and really made our day. They went above and beyond to make sure that all of our guests were comfortable and that we were stress free. Caio was wonderful throughout the whole planning process and ran our wedding on the day of. We couldn't speak more highly of him! He was honest and easy to work with. On the day of he was amazing helping the older folks navigate the space and made sure that I got my lobster rolls - I jokingly mentioned that this was a concern for me weeks before the wedding and he made sure some were brought up to us while we took pictures in The Loft after the ceremony. Food & Drinks - The food was so delicious and plentiful! I only wish that I was less nervous so that I could have eaten more! We chose the family style menu. During the cocktail hour there were stationary platters and passed hors d'oeuvres. Some of our guests said they were so delicious that they filled up at the cocktail hour and couldn't believe there was a sit down meal as well. I would say that all of the food was phenomenal and much better quality than your typical wedding. As for drinks, we went with the premium pay per drink option rather than unlimited. Deity also allowed us to create signature his and hers drinks. In the end, it worked out to about the same cost as it would have been if we went with the unlimited option. I don't believe that's typical, but we have some heavy drinkers among us! All in all, we really couldn't be happier with how our wedding day went and are so happy that we chose Deity. I can't imagine that there is a better choice in the city for a couple that wants to have a beautiful wedding without breaking the bank.
My husband and I got married here this August and honestly, the venue exceeded our highest expectations. We were looking for a vintage style, unique venue that was convenient for our family members location wise. This was it! The venue let us use all 3 floors for our event. Each... Read More floor was beautiful and made each part of the wedding special. My biggest concern was how my husband's grandmother would get up and down the stairs as she uses a cane and has difficulty walking but the venue assigned her an assistant who not only took care of her, but helped her maintain her dignity while she was transitioning between floors. No one even noticed she was getting extra help. I also wanted to do a tribute to my father who had passed away not too long before the wedding. The staff helped me display my tribute on a projector and it turned out wonderful. When we were searching for venues our biggest concerns were price point, decor and comfort. We wanted it to feel just right. We immediately knew Deity was it once we walked in. Caio and his wife are lovely but our DJ (DJ Trauma) and Caio's staff running the wedding were not far behind. Although everyone was working so hard, it really felt like the staff was genuinely happy for us and were enjoying our wedding too! By the time the wedding was over, all of our decorations, purses, shoes and other forgotten items were neatly packed and ready for transport back to our hotel. They even remembered to pack the small locket I used to decorate my bouquet with. Even though we had a morning wedding and our cab was 20 minutes late, set up went smoothly and every single decorative detail we planned for the wedding was honored. Everything looked great which we definitely appreciated since we did a lot of DIY projects in preparation for the big day. It was great to see it all come together. We didn't have a rehearsal prior to the wedding which can be a little nerve wrecking to a perfectionist like me. The truth is, we didn't need one. Caio and his staff have obviously done this plenty of times and have perfected the timing. In all honesty, the entire process was seamless come the day of. Our guests were so thoroughly impressed with the service, food and music. Everyone thought the venue was breathtakingly beautiful. So far, we've only heard great feedback and word through the grapevine is that we had the wedding of the year. We are eternally grateful to Deity (especially Caio) for making our wedding the most beautiful moment of our relationship. You guys really made our experience amazing. Thank you! My advice for anyone looking for an affordable NYC, Brooklyn style wedding is to consider this location. (Total sidenote: we didn't use a florist and didn't need one because the venue is already gorgeous as is. We used the money we saved on that and put that into an after party to help us continue the celebration. BEST CHOICE EVER!) I know we made the right choice for us. We hope you guys feel the same after your special day. We hope this review helps with your planning!
I'm going to keep this review short and sweet, because the only thing to say about Deity is it is 100% AMAZING. From the very minute we stepped foot into the space we knew this was THE SPOT for us. We chose to have both our ceremony and reception in Deity. The 3 levels were... Read More perfect for keeping everything in one place, while making it feel like we were on the move because the Loft, Lounge & Cellar all have their own distinct vibe. We had the ceremony in the Loft and this was simple, yet elegant and beautiful. We didn't have to add any decor to the space because the string lights, multi-sized candles, and sheer white curtains that come with the venue were perfect as is. We chose a cocktail style dinner instead of a formal sit down so we could maximize our time mingling with our guests. The Lounge was perfect for our 85 guests, not too crowded nor too sparse. The food and drinks kept coming and our guests were very well fed. And the Lounge is the most stunning area -- the best of all the venues we looked at -- so we wanted to spend a lot of time in this area. We then capped the night off in the Cellar which has the perfect size dance floor, while guests who didn't feel like dancing were able to sit at the many bistro tables around the perimeter of the room (but of course Jamal, Deity's DJ connection, had EVERYONE up on their feet!). In fact, the most amazing part of Deity is the staff. Caio is super attentive during the planning process and on the day of, and the incomparable head of staff Jay and his team, James, Yulia and all the wait staff were ON POINT! They handled everything so seamlessly we never had to ask for a thing. I really felt like my wedding was the wedding that slayed all other weddings, and Deity is absolutely the reason it was so successful and magical. Our guests and parents are still raving about how wonderful everything was. Thank you so much Deity for making our dreams come true :)
We were married at Deity just about three weeks ago! Our wedding day went so smoothly because of the day of coordinator Jay and the whole staff. We were treated to a small dinner immediately following our vows which was such a welcomed surprise. The chef asked us exactly what we... Read More wanted and the food did Not disappoint. Being a foodie myself I was nervous not having done a tasting but trusted the reviews I read, and honestly this is not catered fare, it was all delicious chef created bites! We chose to do a passed reception so all our food was tapas style. We had something for everyone, even our two vegan guests! And still had plenty of hardy and filling options for everyone else. The only small critic with our passed buffet style meal was some feedback we got from our guests. We had about 103 guests, and some felt the passed food did not make its way around the main level, and they shared that they missed out on the most desired chicken wings and a few other things that may have been gone by the time staff had time to circulate. Overall the reception as perfect! The space was full with 100 guests, but not overly packed. I feel like that was the perfect number for a passed reception style meal. The staff moved all of the little decorations that had been put up on the ceremony floor. That was a very nice touch, even taking the bouquets and creating little table decorations with them! Such focus on Jose and I and all the details, so I really was able to just enjoy the wedding day! Jay was always looking out to keep us on schedule. Overall this venue was beyond amazing and I would not change a thing. Leading up Caio was very helpful. Only a few small details were lost (I asked specifically for no mirrors on my candles down the isle but they were still put there on the day of, it didn't ruin my day, but I was a bit bummed looking back at pictures later). But overall he runs a really well organized ship and was very upfront. If you need 100% control and focus on too many small things this might be a challenge, as the venue has this whole process down and they do deliver, but they are used to doing things their way (which is amazing). I built a small chuppah, but very little additional details (outside of a few signs and card box). I would highly recommend this venue to other Brooklyn brides looking for that all included loft feel!
Just wrapping up our honeymoon and finally got to fully process our wedding a week and a half ago! The entire experience with Deity was spectacular, from start to finish. Caio was great during the whole planning process, Jay was so nice and helpful the day of. As bride and... Read More groom, we are probably the worst people to give a review because we were on a different planet that whole day, our families and friends were all floored by the space, the experience, and especially the staff. Everyone working at Deity was extremely kind, professional, and had everything under control. A huge plus is their wedding planning blog - we went with several of their recommended vendors and were very happy with all of them. 5 stars! 100% recommended. Thanks Deity!
This place is top notch! First off, the staff is amazing. Very friendly, professional, caring, responsive, and flexible. The friendliness of the staff added that special touch that we needed to ensure everything would go smoothly and be memorable. Ciao was the man in charge of... Read More setting up our contract and ensuring all our needs were met. He is such a cool guy. Then there was Jay, who basically ran our event that night who always checked in with us to ensure we were taken care of and just felt special that evening. Jamal was our DJ for the evening, and he did exactly what we wanted - no more no less. The staff was like a family and just treated us very well from the time we met to go over options to the very end when we were packing up all the stuff after the wedding. There are not enough things to say about how the staff made our event as magical as it was. The space itself was just what we needed - it was intimate, romantic, dramatic, and had so much character - throughout the evening, our guests kept mentioning how magical the mood was. It was also nice that the venue was very close to Dumbo, where we had our photoshoot by the Brooklyn Bridge before the wedding. Deity is artistically simple but elegant. The ceremony layout was truly romantic. Many of our guests were only familiar with "traditional" weddings. For that reason, they were really surprised about how eclectic our wedding was. Every room in Deity had a magical feeling to it. The food was sophisticated as well. We enjoyed the family style food option which made the mood more intimate. Some of the menu items that were really superb were the mac and cheese, lobster rolls, and ceviche. Thank you, Deity! - DV, RF
Deity played host to our wedding in May and we were extremely pleased with the outcome. We wanted a somewhat non-standard wedding and the owner, Caio personally sat down with us and helped us get it together. He was extremely helpful in crafting the night exactly as we wanted... Read More and worked very hard to keep the stress levels down. They even arranged the DJ, who was excellent and very accommodating of our particular choices of music, and the resident chef provided us with a personally tailored menu of delicious food. One of the best things about the Deity team is how honest and upfront they are about the pricing, particularly for the bar, and they had no hidden fees. The wedding itself was amazing; exactly as we envisioned. Caio personally oversaw the event and Jay made sure we remained well fed and watered throughout the night, as well as kept us on schedule. I highly recommend Deity to any future couples.
Deity was a wonderful place to hold our wedding reception! From our first meeting, my husband and I felt confident that we were in good hands with Caio, Jay, and the Deity staff. During the planning stage every communication from Deity was clear and organized. On the actual... Read More day of our wedding, Deity made sure that everything was taken care of. The venue looked beautiful, the cocktail hour and dinner food were both delicious, and Jay, the day of planner, kept checking in with us to make sure we were having a good time and had everything we needed. The DJ that Deity provided did an amazing job of setting the mood and keeping the party going. A month later, our friends and family are still telling us how much they enjoyed the food and music. We couldn't have asked for a better venue. I would definitely recommend Deity for any couple looking for a venue that will make the planning process stress free and the wedding day beautiful and fun.
Our ceremony and reception on 6/5/16 exceeded our expectations by leaps and bounds! VENUE: When we looked at the venue in October, I knew this was the perfect place for our wedding, matching our vibe as a couple. Once inside, the exposed brick, the beautiful lighted tree, the... Read More candles, and multi-level experience made for a space that required minimal embellishment. Our flower budget and personal touches were therefore very modest, and only added to the beautiful aesthetic of the venue. Each portion of the night is clearly ingrained in our memories due to the unique three-level layout. Our guests loved feeling like they were experiencing four different events in one, all with a common thread. STAFF: We did all of our planning with the owners, Caio and Kristine. Caio was extremely prompt with communication, is easy to work with, and downright delightful. Jay, the day-of-coordinator, was calm and warm, kept things moving smoothly, quietly and tastefully kept us abreast of our bar tab, and even gathered our things and called us an Uber after our guests had departed and our dancing feet could take no more. James, the bartender, is fun, friendly, and enthusiastic about his colleagues. Lastly, I'd like to give a shout-out to Yulia, one of the servers, who was so attentive, at one point she asked me to step out of dinner to let me know I had a little something on my face. They knocked it out of the park, and I truly cannot say enough about how positive our experience was with each member of the Deity staff. FOOD: Chef Jason Bunin perfectly executed the cocktail hour and dinner. Our guests still comment on how much they loved the food! Don't miss the truffled potatoes or the sliders! DANCE PARTY: DJ Trauma kept our guests grinding on the dance floor all night long, peppering our requests with his selections, enhancing the party atmosphere. We were in shock when he announced it was the last song! We had a blast, stayed in budget (!) and HIGHLY recommend Deity!
My husband and I would like to highly recommend Deity as the perfect venue for you to get married! Let me start with the venue; it is so beautiful and elegant from the moment you get to the front door, throughout every step up it's rustic, zen, lovely staircase, to the cocktail... Read More hour space with exquisite stained glass windows, a beautiful tree in the center, a sophisticated welcoming bar, to the best part; the space where you have your ceremony. Small lights glow and create a space that is the essence of ambience that you and your guests will feel at ease and in love with, from the start. Now let me tell you the best part, the person in charge, Caio is a pleasure to work with. He is so experienced, hardworking and knowledgable that you don't have to worry about everything falling into space, because it will! As long as you follow the monthly directions as your big day gets closer, you are in the best hands. In fact, his entire staff are a pleasure. Our day-of organizer, Jay, was amazing from our first look at the space, to securing our deposit, to most impressively, being a warm, kind, and attentive day-of presence. Thank you DEITY! The food; is the best!! Our guests have complimented the delicious food so much and to that we keep on saying, "We agree." It is not boring wedding dishes, it is delicious and restaurant quality (Excellent restaurant quality). The DJ was wonderful too, Ben! He got all our guests, young and old on their feet and was a pleasure to work with. Please consider taking a look at Deity! The price is so reasonable, no hidden costs or uncertainty, and the venue and staff are wonderful.

Staff exceeded all of our expectations! James was so helpful assisting our check into the suite! He constantly checked up on me and the ladies, making sure we had water and all of the necessities. Everyone was astounded by the place, all it had to offer. James from the beginning... Read More until the very end-including the next day (I forgot my wedding dress when we were packing up of all things!) was readily available whenever I needed him. He was SUPERB! The suite was in perfect condition, functionally speaking everything worked! Jay introduced himself when he arrived and checked on us to make sure we were aware of the evening events and the staff who was taking care of us. The whole evening went off without a hitch and that goes for food and beverage service. The food was delicious! Every one of our guests kept raving about the food! Your staff kept making sure their plates were full as well! Jay kept us apprised of the bar tab as we requested, which we appreciated so we weren't too surprised when the bill came-hah! He also made sure our suite was serviced and always asked if it was "okay" to enter, etc. Yulia was on top of us the entire night, constantly refilling our drinks and making sure we were having a good time! After we got married we went to the suite to sign the marriage license and there she is with a platter of delicious food and drinks! That caviar appetizer was a HIT! She also gave me a pair of flats after the night was over- my feet were beat. Jamal did a great job DJing the night. Everyone complimented his music choice and he delivered the exact experience we were looking for. All in all the night could not have gone better, we are so happy we had our wedding at Deity! Many of our guests were blown away with your venue stating they have never seen anything like it and asked if you do other events. We highly recommend Deity!
My husband and I are so thrilled we chose to get married at Deity this past May. The beautiful hardwood floors, exposed brick and colorful stained-glass windows were perfect for the rustic romantic feel we imagined our wedding would have. The size was perfect to accommodate our... Read More 90 guests for a seated ceremony and sit-down family-style dinner. Caio, Jay and the whole Deity team was extremely helpful from day one. From scheduling our wedding day down to the minute, to literally helping grandma up the stairs; these guys think of everything! They were especially helpful during set-up. We literally dropped off 8-10 boxes of directions with no directions the day-of, and everything was beautifully laid out when we arrived including flowers, candles, favors, table numbers, cake stands, cupcakes, signs, the guestbook and instant camera, straws and napkins. Jay was very good at keeping my husband and I on-schedule, while the staff and bartenders were making sure we stayed happy and hydrated throughout the evening. As a bride who worked briefly in the wedding industry, I like to think I had everything covered but it was little things like making sure guests took home centerpieces, moving the guestbook down to the dancefloor and getting in contact with each vendor for deliveries that really showed me what experienced professionals the Diety team are. Another nice thing about Diety is they cover all the music for you. Big shout out to DJ Trauma who was amazing and professional! Lastly, the food is amazing! We had a good feeling about the food based on our trial at Pino but our guests absolutely loved the family-style dinner. We got the braised short ribs, bbq chicken, truffle mash potatoes and broccolini which all got rave reviews.
Perfect. Incredible attention to detail. Flexible. Affordable, with incredibly high bang for your buck. Delicious food and creative drinks. Beautiful and intimate setting. Seasoned, polite, helpful, personable staff/team. - It is impossible to capture how pleased I am with my... Read More wedding at Deity this past weekend. From my venue visit over 18 months ago, to my planning meeting with the owner Caio a few months from my date, to my special day - my experience with Deity was impeccable. THE SPACE/DECOR: I fell in love with Deity with each visit. It is well cared for, intimate with room to mingle, beautiful and unique. It comes with beautiful candle center pieces and textured ivory linens. Because of this, the space does NOT need additional uplighting/overdone with flowers etc (money saver), and photographs beautifully. I liked that all our events were in 1 space to save our guests from traveling. The basement just underwent a beautiful renovation that includes a top notch sound system. THE TEAM: EXCEPTIONAL!!!!! I planned my wedding without a wedding planner. I knew once I stepped inside Deity I could breathe easy. The team is tenured, and runs a tight but flexible ship. We used family heirlooms, and the team took impeccable care to clean and return everything. They were incredibly polite and attentive without being overbearing. They neatly packed all our leftover belongings. Jay, our captain of events, checked in to make sure the evening went as we wanted and changed things accordingly. I felt so comfortable with everyone on my wedding day. The ENTIRE staff deserve a standing ovation. FOOD: Food was the reason WHY we booked Deity! Apps and dinner (along with linens, flatware and staff) are all included. The menu is both interesting and delicious. The jerk chicken sliders, lobster rolls, everything crusted tuna, and big daddy mac and cheese were EXCEPTIONAL. We have had countless friends and fam compliment the food- including a good friend who is a local Chef and was featured on the Food Network, as well as my Mom (if they approve - I approve!). Deity is also one of the few places who allows outside catering. I was able to bring traditional Filipino dishes and have them plated at no additional cost. Total game changer. DRINKS: Deity pours well drinks unless specified. The team was very honest and flexible on how to get the best value for our money. We created a signature cocktail named after our pet bunny rabbit and his favorite treat: watermelon. James created the perfect watermelon cocktail which all our guests LOVED. DJ: DJ Trauma got our crowd LIT. He was so easy to plan with - including the surprise dance our wedding party did!! He picked up our party vibe and our guests stayed dancing through the entire night. The week before our wedding, we were slammed and he even took a late night call to plan the day. I could not have asked for a better DJ. MISC: Insurance? Covered. Security? Covered. DJ? Covered (AND DAMN GOOD!). Staff? Covered. VALUE: A bazillion stars. I HIGHLY recommend Deity to anyone looking for an intimate wedding with delicious food, amazing team, and a headache free evening. You can dress the space up or down, according to your budget- but if your budget is tight, you don't have to do anything at all. I wish I could write more reviews to express how thankful I am for the team, but Yelp will have to do! Thank you DEITY! You truly outdid yourself!
I couldn't have picked a better place for my wedding! We fell in love with Deity on our first visit and are so happy we had our wedding here. The staff did a great job from the planning stage to the day of. I literally wanted for nothing, which helped ease my nervousness,... Read More allowing me to enjoy my wedding day. The staff was extremely attentive and considerate and I wouldn't change a thing if I could do it all over again.

These fresh cherry cookie bars are made with a cake mix cookie dough. Easy to work with, semi-homemade, and full of fresh cherry filling. You can certainly use canned pie filling, but fresh pie filling is to die for and since we had a bucket of cherries to use up that is the route I took. Switch it up and use any seasonal fruit!

We've seen the transformation hundreds of times – people who came to us full of doubt and uncertainty become secure in the knowledge of their rightful place in God's great kingdom. The change may start slowly – in a Bible Study class or praise team participation, perhaps – but once it begins, it picks up speed. The good works, shared experiences, time spent in prayer – all bring us closer to our highest calling.
Take the first step toward personal renewal – join us for services this weekend!

I think the portfolio example works great! Very nice. The only thing is that I can't get it to work in IE. It works well in Firefox but in order to continue evaluating the AJAX interface I need to be able to run a demo in IE. When I run the portfolio demo in IE I get a few updates to the portfolio and then I get a javascript alert [object Error] after 2 updates to my portfolio. I get the alert maybe 50 times in a row and the portofolio ceases to update at that point. Has anyone been able to get the portfolio demo working with IE? ~Alex -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-activemq-user-AJAX-example-t300995.html#a3559544 Sent from the ActiveMQ - User forum at Nabble.com.
