Question

Tell me more about this venue.

Answer

Deity is located in Boerum Hill - the very neighbourhood that we met in. The building, constructed in 1917, is a former synagogue, then converted to an antique store, and then a night club! It was bought and renovated by Brooklyn husband and wife team Caio and Kristine who wanted to offer a unique event space in their neighborhood. The unique Brooklyn venue has been deemed an official NYC landmark! It comes with a lot of character and symbolism for us, and we are thrilled to have found Deity for our wedding.

Question

Why propose on a black sand beach?

Answer

The black sand comes from volcanic eruptions. In Hawaii, Pele (the goddess of fire and volcanoes) is considered supreme and Abi believes that we got the blessings of Pele by proposing on the black sand beach created by her. Also, fun fact - Pololu beach was the setting of the 1997 film The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
