About this venue

This historic space has been outfitted with every modern amenity to be the ideal space to host the perfect wedding. We provide a non-traditional venue so that our clients have a blank slate to start from and can make the space their own. Without any décor, the soaring ceilings and cement walls feel "industrial chic" but clients can transform the space with glitz and glam, rustic touches, romantic lighting, modern lines, whimsical details, and vintage furniture. If you can dream it, it can be done at Olio. Located just North of Boston, Massachusetts, in the heart of New England, the venue is conveniently located and easily accessible to Logan Airport and nearby accommodations and attractions. Olio welcomes all and actively seeks out LGBTQIA+ identifying clients. Pricing and lots more information, including FAQs and tips/tricks are on Olio's website and social media accounts.

TL;DR - there is plenty of space, the acoustics are awesome, the amenities are plenty and of great quality, and the staff is very friendly and helpful! They have some rules due to the historic nature of the building, but they weren't a problem and the owners will help you figure things out. We rented this space for our wedding. We chose it for a few reasons: -it's very spacious, but the acoustics were still incredible -it's in the middle of town -hotels are a short drive away, plenty of rides available -there is a small lift for those with mobility issues (we had a couple) -the facilities were all clean and new -it is climate-controlled They also supply plenty of chairs and tables, and offer a handful of lighting options (at additional cost) that really make the space feel comfy and welcoming. It's worth noting that Olio is based in a historic building, so there are rules in place to protect the walls, floors, and everything overhead. We didn't find the rules to be a problem, and the owner, Sarah, was very communicative and happy to work with us to satisfy both their rules and our vision. It is also worth noting that, for catering, Olio has a catalog of their own partnered/approved vendors (all full-service) that are trained to work within the rules of the venue. Caterers were available at multiple price points and a variety of cuisines to give plenty of options for people. There is an option to bring in other vendors, but at additional cost due to training. We went with Vinwood Caterers (from their catalog) for our wedding, and were absolutely blown away with the quality of their food and service. Back to the venue itself... When looking online, the pictures were all stunning, but the idea of getting married in a room with concrete walls was admittedly a little off-putting. Once we visited in person, though, we immediately fell in love with it. The nice view of Main Street through the windows and the natural lighting (and later the market lighting and up-lighting) really make the place feel more warm and welcoming than you might expect. There was virtually zero echo in there despite it being so big and open, and the patterning of the concrete is weirdly charming in person, probably thanks to the warm lighting. Pair that with good A/C in the summer and the other things listed above, and we were sold! On the big day, it all paid off and the space felt just as warm and welcoming as we'd hoped. Full-service catering was expensive, but they took care of almost literally everything - including setting up, moving, and breaking down furniture throughout the event - and still provided top notch food and drink. Well worth the cost to not stress about managing all the furniture ourselves and getting out on time. The venue's staff were there to make sure everything was working and kept us informed of things before and during the event. Overall - very glad we went with Olio despite the restrictions. Well worth the time and money for probably the best day of our lives yet!

Wow, Nate! Thank you for this incredible writeup. I knew from the moment you came onsite that it was the perfect venue for you and Tim. You had a perfect vision, utilizing the beauty of the space and the convenience of the full-service caterer. You pulled it off flawlessly. Congratulations! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to work together and for your very kind words. Sarah

We hosted our wedding at Olio in early August and simply had the best experience. From the moment we met Sarah on our tour, I felt like we were in good hands with the space and every single person who worked there and/or was associated with it. The building felt both modern and historic, and we loved the surprise of the lofted ceilings and twinkling lights once we stepped up the stairs. Olio was an great size for our 90 person event, and Sarah (and her team at Without a Hitch) helped us plan exactly the wedding we wanted, which included large rented palm trees, arcade games, a Richie's Slush cart with umbrella, even a surprise visit from Santa Claus...at Olio it all worked out. Folks say it a lot, but it was truly a blank canvas and our Olio wedding was perfectly personalized for us. The space was spotless, had great parking and directions for guests and vendors, and made for epic photos. Highly recommend this memorable venue (and the incredible professionals behind it).

Carlee, We only shed a few tears reading this review. 🥹 Thank you. I mean it from the bottom of my heart: being on this journey with you and Bobby was a pleasure and an honor. Of course, each and every event we work on is unique and special. But you can do this for decades and still not encounter an event with as many joyful, personal, and special elements as yours. Thank you for choosing Olio and for sharing your wonderful feedback! xo, Sarah, Allison, and team

Looking for a more “blank slate” industrial-style venue, we found Olio, and we could not be happier with our decision! Sarah was an absolute gem to work with. From the moment we saw the incredibly detailed website, it was the clear choice! Sarah was extremely communicative and helped us with every question and concern we had quickly. They also provided us with tons of behind-the-scenes content on the day of the wedding. The venue was gorgeous and spacious, and exceeded our expectations for our special day. All of our guests commented on how unique it was as well.

Thank you so much, Alexa. We loved working together and seeing the wedding happen and, most importantly, seeing the joy that you two shared on the wedding day. It is an incredible honor to be a part of your story! Hoping our paths cross again soon. Warmest, Sarah and team

•Malana K.•Aug 11, 2025
When we were searching for our wedding venue, we had a short list of things that we wanted to make our wedding perfect. It had to be easily accessible for people who couldn't drive, be an excellent backdrop for photos, allow us to showcase our personalities, and also be affordable. The Olio was the perfect playground for all of this. The moment we stepped foot into the venue during the tour, we knew it was the right space for us. Sarah walked us through the space and gave us the history of the building and explained all of the things that we could do with their wide open floorplan and historic wood paneled floors. But you could immediately tell that she wasn't just trying to sell the space and get another booking. She cares about each potential client and wants to make sure that your special day is perfect. This sentiment extends to the whole Olio team that we worked with throughout the process as well. We booked the venue almost a full year in advance of our actual wedding day and throughout that entire year, any email we sent was answered in-depth within 48 hours. For a venue that holds special events year-round, that turn-around time is incredible. That kind of personalized attention also extends to the wedding day itself. Their onsite staff made sure to check in with us constantly to make sure we had everything we needed and were incredibly easy to work with in regards to picking up/ dropping off decorations. If we were to get married again, we'd pick the Olio as the venue again in a heartbeat. You truly cannot go wring with this space and this team.

What! Malana and Randy, what a joy it was working with you. I too felt the spark on our first tour and it gave me such pleasure to support your planning over the course of the last year. I love how you approached every detail with thought and heart. There was no moment throughout the night that didn't feel authentically like the two of you. The room was electric and your guest felt it too. What a fabulous party and celebration of your love. Stay in touch, sending our love! Sarah and the Olio team
