Historic beauty, with a WOW factor!
The building is beautiful on it's own, and we cried tears of joy when we walked inside on our wedding day. We flew to Wilmington for less than 24 hours to pick our venue, and we met Rich for our first tour late on a Sunday night. 2.5 hours later, we were wowed by how much information and peace of mind we were given. Our tours the next day were no match for everything we loved about Brooklyn Arts Center. Rich and his team keep the beautiful venue in perfect condition, and his statement that they only do "perfect weddings" is no lie! The Manse is also a lovely option for brides and their loved ones get ready on the day of the wedding. Our girls loved having a special place to get ready, before our big day! We will definitely visit Brooklyn Arts Center for future events, any time we are in town!
