Grace in Portland, Maine, is a venue that blends historic charm with modern elegance, offering a truly unique setting for weddings and special events. Housed in a beautifully restored former church, Grace combines soaring cathedral ceilings, original stained-glass windows, and a stunning mezzanine, creating an awe-inspiring atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression. It easily lends itself to a bouquet toss. The staff at Grace is nothing short of phenomenal. Their attention to detail and commitment to creating a seamless event experience make planning stress-free. They go above and beyond to accommodate every request and ensure the day unfolds perfectly. The food is another highlight. Their catering team delivers an impressive menu that pairs elevated flavors with fresh, local ingredients. Guests raved about the inventive dishes and impeccable presentation. See the Lobster Rangoon at this Maine wedding shot by JMorr Photo What sets Grace apart is its ability to feel both grand and intimate. Whether hosting a large wedding or a smaller, more private celebration, the venue can adapt beautifully. The combination of breathtaking architecture and exceptional service makes Grace a top-tier choice for any couple looking for a one-of-a-kind experience in the heart of Portland.

I really came here for the setting and unique conversion. I enjoyed the atmosphere which really is the backbone for the food - without this spine, I think the food experience would completely paralyze. The food was decent. I had a menu item that sounded good and looked okay but the texture combination of hard chunky green honey dew melon and small tiny raw fish did not really work. The two flavors did not go well with each other.

I really liked when it was a restaurant and I only have been there for my cousin Katie's wedding. She is a very nice person. The restaurant area closed early due to cocktails and appetizers served on the main floor due to the wedding. I had the appetizers and I saw some familiar people. The basement was where the ceremony was and we had dinner down there. We had choices on a special menu and I really enjoyed the duck I ate. The dance floor was awesome. Music came from an iPad that someone brought. The love songs were great and some were modern. I also enjoyed the photo booth and the props. Mallory was the lady with the photo booth rental. I danced with the guitar and the microphone from the photo booth all night for the most part. The ladies' room was very clean and I know that Mallory had to travel the Maine Turnpike to get there. Uncle David, Amanda, Mike, Wendy, Aunt Janet, Uncle Harvey, Katie's brother Danny, my father and I were there. The maid of honor was someone Katie knew and she later had a baby named Sally. I am glad that Aunt Janet helped organize this wedding for her daughter Katie. Also, the theme was the unicorn and this was an unique theme. Also, I went with my father's friend Patty. The parking was ample and glad that it is now an event venue. I loved the venue and the spaces we gathered in for the Harris-Giroux wedding in the basement. My father has some awesome pictures of the wedding on his computer. It was a very nice day to meet Colby's family and Colby was the groom. Katie and Colby are a very nice and awesome couple and they have an intelligent daughter Vada who is 8 years old. I really appreciate Katie and Colby's decision on buying a house in Westbrook and Katie doesn't live in the house she lived in from 1986 to 1995. Katie and Colby were born in 1984.

Grace is on a higher level and dining here is truly and experience to be cherished. Incredible atmosphere and food that's both beautifully plated and astonishingly delicious. I was inspired to become rich just so I could come here to eat more often.

AMAZEBALLS! There is "joy-in-the-kitchen" in this establishment. From the second you walk in the front door of what could be the most under-rated foodie sanctuary in Maine you are wowed by the towering ceilings, circular bar, OPEN KITCHEN and positive vibes! the warm welcome to the table was sincere and personable. The hostess actually remembered my friends from well over a year ago (not hard to do when they literally almost order the entire menu) and everything just got better from there. The wine list is superb and Jen our super knowledgable wine enthused server was awesome. Can we talk about THE BREAD. I'm a carb lover and eat bread every. where. THIS BREAD WAS THE BEST BREAD I'VE EVER EATEN IN MY LIFE (only thing better was Lafa fresh off the fire in Israel) the sea salt on the crust was superb. i think i ate 50 loaves. The "food food" from every starter they ordered (which was all of them on the menu save the green salad) was masterfully plated and composed, superbly served and devoured. I could list everything they ate (the kitchen team looked at the ticket, had a chuckle, and got to chef'ing) but that would take too much time and trust me when i tell you these people travel for food, travel for chefs, travel for service, know their wines and spare no expense. From the rafters you can watch the energy in the kitchen (i highly recommend sitting in the rafters and close to the kitchen) and the flow of the food and it's an amazing dance to watch. unlike the previous nights disastrous dining experience where no one barely spoke at all and there was absolutely zero vibe, at what is Portland's most over-hyped place of provisions. wink-wink. Basically if you enjoy delectable food prepared from a Chef that takes pride in what he presents and will come up to the table to share his wealth of knowledge and love of cooking than YOU NEED TO EAT HERE. NOW. Tell them Randi, Karen and Ray sent you. Oh and show them some love on the social media because they have a great hashtag #eatgracelove

Great food and ambiance. Service staff was attentive and helpful. Food is creative, but not pretentious. My best meal this year. Kitchen seemed to be a bit slow though, but not so slow that it was a problem.

Drinks at the bar with only a snack of ham and brie. Wine list good and drinks decent. Cavernous but superstylish interior. Central bar downstairs and smaller one upstairs. Could be where organ might have been. Service not attentive enough considering it wasn't jammed. They had many servers, kitchen help and bartenders.
