Incredible Tour of Brooklyn Arts Center
Rich was absolutely amazing from the very first phone call of inquiry about the Brooklyn Arts Center, through the tour of the venue, and is actively helping me prepare of my wedding that's happening very soon! The venue is gorgeous, but Rich really takes the time to make sure you fully envision what YOUR wedding will be like in his venue. We have booked both the Church and the Annex and I have no doubt that my wedding is going to be everything I could have ever wanted and dreamt for.

Best Day Ever
From the beginning, Rich, the executive director for BAC, told me that my wedding day was going to be perfect. I completely underestimated how perfect it truly was going to be. From the initial tour to the day of the wedding, everyone at BAC was responsive, helpful, and easy to work with. We did our ceremony and reception in the main church and cocktail hour in the 2nd floor room of the Annex. Both venues are absolutely gorgeous and having a bridal suite on site to get ready in definitely eases anxiety. You are required to have a day of coordinator (and you definitely want one) but Rich is great about recommending ones that would match your personality. I can't say thank you enough for the part Brooklyn Arts Center and The Annex played in making my day so perfect!
