How Much Does a Wedding at Rule of Thirds Cost?

If you’ve fallen in love with the Japanese-inspired elegance of Rule of Thirds in Greenpoint, you’re probably wondering the big question: How much will it cost?

We’ve gathered the latest pricing details—straight from the venue and real couples—so you can plan your budget with confidence.

Food & Beverage Minimum

When you rent out the event space, you’ll be working with a Food & Beverage Minimum. This minimum varies by season and day of the week:

• Off-Peak Season (Jan, Feb, Jul): starting around $20K

• Peak Season (Mar–Jun, Aug–Dec): starting around $30K

Per-Person Pricing

Rule of Thirds offers two main wedding formats:

• Family-Style Dinner ~$295/per person

  • Includes open bar and multi-course meal

• Cocktail-Style ~$265/per person

  • Includes open bar, passed canapés, and stations

Venue Fee

In addition to the food & beverage minimum, Rule of Thirds also charges a site fee to rent the venue itself:

• Off-Peak Season (Jan, Feb, Jul): ~$5,000

• Peak Season (Mar–Jun, Aug–Dec): ~$6,000

This is a separate cost from your F&B minimum, so when budgeting, plan for both. For example:
$20,000 F&B minimum + $6,000 site fee = $26,000 starting point (before taxes, gratuity, and extras).

Sample Budgets from Real Weddings

• 100 guests – $40K (off-peak, cocktail-style)
