From first steps to this unforgettable walk down the aisle, a father’s love helps shape the woman she becomes. There’s something incredibly special about the moment a dad proudly presents his daughter as she begins a new chapter.

To all the fathers who have loved, guided, supported, and cheered from the sidelines—Happy Father’s Day. Thank you for the memories, the lessons, and the love that lasts a lifetime. 💕 🥂

Located in our Bell Tower Tasting Room is a curated assortment of premium ci**rs, available for purchase if you’d like to cap off the evening with a celebratory puff. Just remember—they’re for enjoying outside only. Our historic church has survived since 1888, and we’d like to keep it from smelling like your uncle’s poker night. 😆 💨

We love happy clients, and when the dust settles after their big day, there’s nothing more rewarding than hearing about their experience at the Brooklyn Arts Center.

Recently, Chamberlain shared this five-star review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “We could not be happier with the choice to have our wedding at the Brooklyn Arts Center! Jay, Charyl, and the entire staff were wonderful to work with from start to finish. The space is gorgeous and served as the perfect backdrop for our day.”

Reviews like this mean the world to us because we work hard to ensure every couple receives the attention, care, and support they deserve on one of the most important days of their lives.
