Agora Grand Event Center is a historic wedding venue in Lewiston, Maine. Its distinctive Gothic spire has towered high above the city for over a century, and the church continues to be a fairy-tale setting in which to exchange vows. The center offers couples modern facilities as well as a convenient location in the heart of Maine’s second-largest metropolitan area.

Facilities and Capacity

Agora Grand Event Center is a contemporary space that is respectful to its storied roots. A Neo-Gothic masterpiece, the church’s gothic-style windows lend a fairy-tale ambiance to any celebration. Guests will arrive to a monumental setting with a towering vaulted ceiling cast in relief by dramatic uplighting. The church’s nave is flanked by stately Corinthian columns, creating a boundless central space in which to host a magic reception. Overhead a giant stained glass rose window, reminiscent of the most hallowed cathedrals of France, floods the hall with ample natural light. The renovation team has worked to accentuate this sense of celestial space, with a minimal white color palette adding to the open and airy tone. The center can host a grand celebration for up to 350 invitees and there is a separate chapel that couples can use for their ceremony. After the party has ended, the newly married couple can retire to the Royal Tower Honeymoon Suite. Located underneath the steeple, it is luxuriously appointed and features stained-glass windows and its own whirlpool bathtub. Guests will find a welcoming place to rest their heads at the Inn at the Agora which adjoins the venue.

Furniture rental is included with the rental of the venue, and there is parking available on-site.
