From the reviews

Agape was our dream wedding venue come true! It was the only venue that we looked at, and as soon as we walked in the courtyard, we knew it was the one. It truly has such a special atmosphere, and every detail of the venue is decorated in such a beautiful way.

★★★★★ — Caroline, Sep 2024

My husband and I got married here in September and it was the most magical day. We fell in love with the venue the moment we visited - the beautiful architecture and tiles, everything is so beautifully curated.

★★★★★ — Yaying, Oct 2025

We recently had our wedding at Agape 1928, and it was nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, we worked closely with the event coordinator, Malea, who was incredibly accommodating, organized, and truly brought our vision to life.

★★★★★ — Angela, Sep 2025

We are SO beyond grateful for this venue and team. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more—and a huge part of that was thanks to Malea and how amazing she was throughout the entire process. She was so easy to work with, always quick to respond, and went above and beyond to accommodate anything we needed.

Getting married at Agápe 1928

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
