We had an absolutely perfect wedding here. We had 100 guests total and so we didn't rent the Annex - it was the perfect size for us. It's a beautiful venue and the Manse across the street was perfect for the bridal party to get ready in.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to get married at the Brooklyn Arts Center. The minute we toured the venue, we fell in love with its charm and architecture! Not only is the venue stunning, but the staff is unparalleled. Every single person we worked with from BAC was welcoming, kind, and helpful. We could not have imagined a more perfect place to get married!

We got ready in the Manse Suite which has every amenity to make getting ready on your big day perfect. We also stayed in Ms. Cat's Cottage after. It is beautifully decorated, incredibly convenient, and so comfortable. Highly recommend BAC for your big day!

The Brooklyn Arts Center is seriously one of a kind wedding venue. I fell in love with the venue immediately after touring it because of the historic feel and how beautifully they preserved the entire space. There are so many unique picture spots and our photos turned out stunning thanks to all the exposed brick, gorgeous picture window upstairs, and all the natural greenery outside. My favorite moment from our wedding day was getting married underneath the big window on the main level, another main reason we picked this venue! Our family is still talking about how unique the venue was! The staff was absolutely amazing the day of our wedding, they made sure I always had a drink in my hand and truly cared about us having the best day ever. Charyl was so great to deal with, she was very informative and always answered my emails right away. The bartenders the night of the wedding were such professionals, I was nervous about only having one bar because my family can drink, but everyone told us it was the best bar at a wedding they’ve experienced and the bartenders were so quick. I also got ready with my bridesmaids in the manse and it was such an adorable spot to get ready and take pictures, and it was perfect for when me and the bridal party just needed a minute to relax during the day. We flipped the inside church for our ceremony and reception and it worked out perfect. The courtyard was used for our cocktail hour and it was so nice to relax outside and have everyone enjoy the North Carolina weather! We had around 125 guests and everyone fit perfectly downstairs on the main level for the reception, we even put some cocktail tables upstairs for people to venture upstairs to the balcony. There was PLENTY of space for everyone on the dance floor and the stage was awesome, me and my bridal party made sure to get up there for a song which was so much fun. I wouldn’t change a thing from our wedding day and highly recommend choosing the Brooklyn Arts Center for a unique wedding day!

We had our daughter’s wedding here in March 2019. It was the best day. Having “The Manse” to spend the day getting ready
with my daughter and her bridesmaids was perfect. Everyone loved the beauty of the venue. Wish my son and his fiancé would get married here but they are getting married in Durham.

Beautiful venue for a wedding! The venue was exactly what I was looking for - it has so much character with so many unique spaces to capture beautiful photos. I especially loved having The Manse all day to get ready with my friends and family. It is a gorgeous space. Charyl, Jay, and all the BAC staff were a pleasure to work with while planning our event, and all the preferred vendors we used were incredible! Would recommend to anyone!

Everyone at this venue was so personable and did an amazing job helping my vision come to life. They pointed me in the right direction multiple times and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

Brooklyn Arts Center was the perfect venue for our wedding day! BAC had us in awe from the moment we pulled up. The entire grounds are absolutely beautiful and it truly was the best, most perfect spot for our special day. Jay and the entire BAC staff were extremely friendly, professional, responsive, offering to help and give vendor suggestions from day one. They made us feel like we were their only wedding because of the amount of attention and dedication they gave us during the entire wedding planning process. Brooklyn Arts Center is not only historic and gorgeous, but it also has so much space for getting ready and relaxing leading up to the wedding, which was a wonderful bonus! We were highly impressed with everything from day one and are so grateful that the BAC staff did everything to make our day one we will never forget. We can’t wait to come back!

We had the most beautiful wedding at BAC! This venue is amazing it has a beautiful backdrop and great location. An amazing perk of this venue is the freedom to customize to have the wedding of your dreams (& in your budget!) there is a large list of recommended vendors so you are able to get exactly what your want for the price you want. We love this venue so so much as you can see from photos is can be transformed to look and fit many different styles and budgets. The team at BAC is well known in the wedding community in Wilmington and have great connections to make your planning fun and easy!

I absolutely love Brooklyn Arts Center! It was an absolute joy to work with this venue for Casey & Kelsey’s big day. The venue is a photographers dream, filled with so many special spots and beautiful natural light for photographs. The staff was incredibly kind and professional. My couple had so many nice things to say about working with the staff behind Brooklyn Arts Center. They were courteous and helpful to all vendors and guests. I highly recommend this venue!

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!
