Private Event Venue in Portland, Maine

Grace hosts the private celebrations that mark a life: milestone birthdays, anniversaries, engagement parties, showers, retirements, and reunions. The venue is a restored 1800s church in Portland's Old Port, so a family party in this room has the stone, arched windows, and height of the original building instead of a plain rented hall.

The 14,000 square foot floor scales to the party. Set a smaller footprint for an intimate dinner, or open the room for a large gathering with a bar, a buffet or plated meal, and space to dance. Because the celebration and the bar sit in the same building, guests are not moving between a restaurant and a rented hall halfway through the night.

Our in-house liquor license means our own team runs the bar, which keeps the planning to a single conversation instead of a separate bar vendor. We handle the floor layout, timing, and setup so the host gets to be a guest at their own party. Tell us the occasion, the date, and roughly how many people you expect, and we will walk you through how Grace fits a celebration built around your family and friends in downtown Portland.
