Lawrence Arts Center is a nonprofit arts institution at 940 New Hampshire St in Lawrence. Its event-rentals page offers spaces for private receptions or events and lists capacities of 300 for the Main Lobby, up to 300 for the Main Theatre, 100 for the Large Gallery, 90 for the Black Box Theatre, 75 for the Lower Lobby and 50 for the Middle Gallery, plus 70 for Studio A at its separate 10th & Mass Studios location.

The page states that renters need a cash-bar catering license to serve alcohol, that restrictions and sales tax apply, that all areas are accessible to persons with disabilities, and that reservations should be made at least six months in advance. The page does not use the word wedding. Ask whether the spaces are offered for wedding ceremonies or receptions, what a rental includes, and what catering arrangements are permitted.
