Couples often ask for recommendations on Maine wedding venues, so I’ve started to put together a list of my personal favorites. Each venue listed here offers something unique or unforgettable.
Agora Grand Event Center (formerly St. Patrick’s Church) – Lewiston, Maine
Agora Grand is one of Maine’ newest full service wedding venues. Unique to this location is the ability for couples to marry in a stunning church setting without the requirement of holding a religious based ceremony. From a reception hall on site featuring 55 foot ceilings, to a tower honeymoon suite and hotel, Agora Grand offers some pretty amazing options for couples planning a mid to large sized wedding. There truly are no words to adequately describe this location, so please view their website at www.agoragrand.com. You may also contact Agora Grand’s owner, Andrew Knight, by phone at (571) 505-2916 or by Email at afknight@gmail.com
Maple Hill Farm Bed & Breakfast Inn and Conference Center – Hallowell, Maine
It isn’t just the 130 acres of woods and fields (with trails for walking, snowshoeing or cross country skiing) or the tastefully appointed guest rooms, or even the covered porch which make this location stand out. My favorite feature here is the llamas. Yes, llamas. Michelle and Jory married here in September under the two beautiful maples trees and although the llamas didn’t stick around for the ceremony, they did show up for photos afterwards.

You can contact the innkeepers of this award winning and environmentally friendly venue by calling 1-800-622-2708.
The Inn at Sunrise Point – Camden/Lincolnville, Maine
What makes this place special enough to make the “Best of Where to Elope 2016” list? Maybe the choice to marry amongst the flowers of the incredible gardens, or beneath the trees at the ocean’s edge. There is certainly no shortage of amazing backdrops for your wedding photos. The Inn at Sunrise Point accommodates only the smallest of weddings; elopements and ceremonies with no more than 6 attendants. The grounds and buildings here are incredible and the staff is wonderfully helpful. But what stands out the most is the peacefulness and the quiet. Visit the inn’s website at www.sunrisepoint.com or reach out by phone at (207) 236-7716.
