Inside Scoop

There are very few privately owned venues in the area. And there are even fewer that are female, family-owned.

Maybe throughout this process we found out why... the amount of capital needed, the level of uncertainty that we'll ever see a return, challenges in financing, commercial real estate, then permits, construction, and nevermind the actual operation.

But here we are.

Venue Features

The scene:: 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 caters to all couples, particularly those who have a unique vision, background, or love story. Olio welcomes all and actively seeks out LGBTQIA+ identifying clients.

Olio is a family business, launched by Sarah Narcus after a decade planning events with her wedding coordination company, Without A Hitch, in partnership with her mom. Olio is professional designed and operated so that all of couples are taken care of.

Perfect for weddings with an onsite ceremony of 25 to 200, and with an off-site ceremony up to 300. Pricing and lots more information, including FAQs and tips/tricks are on Olio's website and social media accounts. Inquire today to schedule a tour!
Design:: A flexible, open floor plan allows our clients the maximum flexible to make the space their own.
Standout venue features:: What makes our venue different when there are a lot of beautiful venue spaces in New England?

➕HISTORY - no new building here, just a 110-year-old theater with an amazing story to tell.

➕OWNERSHIP - a wedding planner and her mama set out to build a modern venue, against some pretty big odds.

➕SPACE - big, open floor plan; soaring ceilings; oversize windows; historic concrete walls; exposed ductwork; and warm wood floors.

➕FLEXIBILITY - choose your vendors, decorate how and when you want, make it your own.
Extra perks:: The rental fee includes exclusive access to the venue for the day plus 200 chairs and 25 folding tables.
