Agora Grand
Agora Grand for our Wedding venue was perfect for our special day. From beginning to end we knew this was exactly what we were looking for. When we first visited you could see with keeping much of the beautiful architecture it was full of history, elegance, and charm. The updates of the lighted bar, concessional, and the unbelievable balcony lounge added that special touch of class.
Having the ceremony, the reception, and the Inn all at one location is most convenient.
The chapel is simply tasteful with the stained glass windows giving beautiful natural light and the open ceremony area is like a blank canvas you can do as little or as much as you would like for decor.
The reception was just a short walk around from the chapel, staying right inside the building.
When you walk into what used to be St. Patrick's church, now the Agora Grand Event Center you are just blow away. The high ceilings, columns, balcony lounge above with an amazing stained glass window takes your breath away. The lighted bar, windows, and ceilings add that special modern touch. Not to mention you can pick the lighting color to work with your wedding colors. We chose a theme with rustic and elegance that worked perfectly.
Really, you can do simple or extravagant at the Agora and win either way.
The balcony lounge will not disappoint. Pure elegance and charm with original wood, leather sofas, crystal lamps, and exceptional view over the reception area. There's a suite with a jetted tub, mini bar area, and bedroom to get ready.
All in All if you are looking for the perfect fairy tale wedding this is the place for you. Words cannot describe all the details of the Agora.
Andrew the owner is fantastic to work with. This venue exceeded our expectations. Andrew worked with us beginning to end. When I say worked, he worked! He was very hands on and not just an owner that oversees the event. He was much involved. And very appreciated!!

A breathtakingly beautiful setting, the Agora's gothic architecture, tall stained glass windows, cathedral ceilings, and arches are simply ideal for a sophisticated, formal, and elegant event. The venue was perfect for our wedding. Aside from some minor difficulties in negotiating amidst planning and preparations, and a few setbacks during the event (insufficient AC on a hot, humid summer day), we were incredibly pleased with the overall result and grateful to Andrew for his hard work in creating such a stunning venue that is emerging on the wedding scene in Maine.

I was in a wedding at the Agora Grand and it was probably the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to. The chapel is classy and traditional and the light coming through the stained glass made a special impact. But the best part is the main reception area. It's wide open and really breathtaking. When the sun went down, the lighting was incredible... the windows are back-lit and the lighting also lit up the tall ceilings. The balcony loft has been made into a swanky lounge area with great views of the whole place which was a great place to rest my tired feet toward the end of the night.

The wedding party and I stayed at the hotel next door, which was the renovated rectory building -- super cute and cozy and the Inn Keeper treated us like guests in her home!

I planned my own wedding and am usually pretty nit-picky about wedding details, but this place just had it all and it was run like a well oiled machine. Maybe I'll have to renew my vows here one day... ;)

This is a spectacular venue...beautiful old church that has been converted to an event center. It also has a beautiful chapel attached and a kitchen. The venue itself has soaring high ceilings and resembles a cathedral in the UK or Europe. It also has a small built in bar, an old confessional which is available as a 2nd bar and a balcony which overlooks the reception area. There is a dance floor and state of the art technology with a screen to show videos or pictures. There is also a large kitchen ( caterer will need to know there are not stoves or ovens) and even up lighting in the large side windows with a selection of colors. The owner and staff are very nice and were wonderful to deal with.
