Below is the Brooklyn Arts Center list of preferred vendors. The following vendors have frequently worked at the BAC, have proven to work well with our staff and couples, and are the best at what they do in our area. We only require our preferred vendor list to be used for caterers and wedding coordinators/designers. BAC couples may bring in a vendor of their choice in the other categories.
