The Avenir

My husband and I got married at the Avenir recently, and it was everything we could have wanted and more! The Saphire Event Group was great throughout the entire process leading up to the wedding, especially our event producer Kayla. She met with us in person a number of times and was also very responsive over email, assisting with any questions or concerns we had to ensure our day was set up as best as possible.

The day of the wedding was everything we envisioned come to life. Both the cocktail area and the main ballroom were beautifully set up. Also the food was fantastic! Whether it was the hors d'oeuvres or the entrees or the late night snacks, we kept hearing from guests how good everything tasted.

Lastly, the staff the day of the wedding were amazing. Kayla was on site to ensure everything went smoothly. The bridal attendants were checking on us consistently to see if we needed anything. And everyone working was respectful to all our guests. The staff truly made our day feel even more special with their attention to detail, and we greatly appreciated it.

I would definitely recommend the Avenir to any engaged couples looking for a wedding venue in the future!

They really know what they’re doing!

Our wedding at Avenir was everything we dreamed of and more. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful — modern, elegant, and effortlessly romantic. The ballroom feels like something out of a magazine, and the outdoor ceremony space is peaceful and tucked away, which made our day feel both intimate and special.

The staff at Avenir was professional, polished, and clearly experienced. From food service to timing, everything flowed perfectly. Our guests could not stop talking about how good the food was and how smooth the entire evening felt. Avenir truly knows how to host a wedding — they’ve mastered the details.

But even with such an amazing venue, the absolute best part of our experience was Kayla, our event producer.

From the moment we connected, Kayla made us feel heard. She never made us feel like just another couple or just another wedding on the calendar. She listened, truly listened, to what mattered to us and made sure it all came to life. She brought calm, confidence, and next-level organization. Every checklist, every timeline, every moving part was handled with so much care.

Kayla is kind, but also real. She’s honest and direct in a way that makes you feel supported, not overwhelmed. When I wanted our ceremony outside, she didn’t hesitate. She had my back and helped make it happen without any issue. I never had to question whether she was on our side — she always was.

And it wasn’t just the big things. I love crab rangoons … and I talked about it constantly. Kayla remembered. On the wedding day, she made sure the staff knew, and she made sure I got my crab rangoons. That small moment meant the world to me because it showed how much she truly paid attention to the little things that mattered to me.

The wedding itself was seamless. Even when things came up behind the scenes, I didn’t find out until later. Kayla handled it all with such grace and calm that I got to be fully present on one of the most important days of our lives — and that is a gift I’ll never forget.

Kayla, if you’re reading this, thank you for hearing us, for grounding us, for protecting our peace, and for giving us a day that was not only beautiful, but effortless because you were behind it all. You weren’t just our Event Producer. You were a constant, a calm, and a quiet hero who made sure everything we hoped for came to life.

If you’re getting married at Avenir, ask for Kayla. You’ll thank yourself a thousand times over!

Our Dream Wedding at Avenir

We had an amazing experience at Avenir in Walpole, MA! Kayla Cady-Williams, our wedding coordinator, was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. Her organization, calm presence, and attention to detail made the day so much easier for us to enjoy.

The venue is absolutely stunning. We were able to hold our ceremony in the beautiful garden (thankfully the rain held off!), and the ballroom was the perfect space for dinner and dancing—elegant and lively. The food was excellent, and so many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it.

Avenir also recommended DJ Blake Boyer from Unique Sounds, and we are so glad they did—he was hands down the best DJ we’ve ever seen. The dance floor was packed all night!

We’re so grateful to Kayla and the entire Avenir team for helping create such a memorable day. Highly recommend this venue to any couple planning their wedding!

Our dream wedding came true

As soon as my then-fiancee (and now, wife!) and I walked into Avenir, we were floored by how stunning the space is. Avenir is one of several properties owned by Sapphire Event Group, all of which have their own character and charm. Avenir was the first of three that we planned to tour that day, and after completing our second tour, we couldn't stop thinking back to the gorgeous chandelier ballroom, "LOVE" marquee sign and chic cocktail lounge at the Avenir. Lynn and the rest of the team worked with us to give us any discounts they could so we could book Avenir for our wedding and we were thrilled.
We worked with Kayla for the day-of wedding coordination, and it couldn't have been a more perfect match. Her laid-back nature paired with her evident knowledge of and passion for wedding planning connected well with both my wife (very type A and organized) and myself (type B and carefree). She made us feel extremely comfortable and eased any worries that we had when it came to all of the different parts of the wedding planning.
My wife and I are a same-sex couple and everyone at Sapphire Event Group normalized and validated our wedding experience (it may be obvious, but the wedding industry is extremely gendered and heteronormative, so this was very refreshing for us). They helped us navigate having two "bridal suite" spaces despite the venue (and all venues we toured) only technically having one, and honored all of the little ways that we wanted to make our day uniquely ours.
The rehearsal before the wedding and the day-of the ceremony and reception, my wife and I continually talked about how grounded Kayla made us feel just with her presence and assuredness. She consistently reminded us to eat, take time to enjoy ourselves, and to remember the day is ours. It was a bit rainy right at the time of the ceremony, so Kayla guided us in pushing the time a tiny bit just enough for the skies to clear, and it was perfect! Sunny skies for the entire ceremony and garden photos afterwards.
All of the staff (Nora who was our bridal attendant, the various servers and bartenders, etc) were incredible and so supportive and attentive, always making sure our glasses were full and checking in on us.
I can't say enough good things about Avenir, and I only wish the night didn't have to end!

Great experience with Avenir and Kayla

We just had our wedding last week at Avenir, including using their indoor ceremony room. Kayla was a great event producer to work with for planning. She is well experienced and knew how to best guide us through the process. On the day of, things went smoothly and we didn't have to worry about anything. Everything was accounted for, down to the minor details and requests that we discussed with Kayla. The space overall was a great place to have a wedding event. The carpet in the ceremony room was recently installed to be a lighter color which lightened up the overall room. The ballroom also recently replaced their carpet around the dance floor to now be black hardwood, which looks a lot more modern. We received lots of compliments from friends and family about the venue and the flawless event production. We highly recommend Avenir to anyone considering booking with them!

My event was amazing!!


I was blessed with the opportunity to honor my mother with a glamorous 65th birthday celebration and I am so happy with my decision to have it at the Avenir. The Avenir is an amazing venue! It’s absolutely beautiful and visually stunning. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. Kayla Cady-Williams, our event producer, did an awesome job capturing every detail of our event. Communication was seamless. Kayla inspired full confidence and went above and beyond to ensure that our evening was beautiful and memorable. We had a wonderful experience! I would definitely recommend this venue and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Fall Wedding

We worked with Sydney as our coordinator and could not recommend her more. She was flexible, responsive, and made sure our wedding day was exactly how we envisioned it. She followed every detail and made sure everything was how we wanted it. She truly made our day a dream come true.
The food and service on the day of was exceptional. Our guests are still talking about our wedding, the venue and the food & we're always hearing that our wedding was the best one ever.

My Dream Wedding

This Venue and my Coordaintor Sydney helped me excute my pintrest board and make it come to life. I went to school for event planning and have always been controlling of all my parties. Sydney made this planning process so easy, gave me the best ideas/options, she also works so hard to get you everything you want. For once, in my whole life I trusted someone to excute my vision on their own. I had no sresses or worries all day (even my bridal party could not believe how calm I was) and that was soley because of Sydney & the whole team at Avenir. How hands on they are withe Bride & Groom, all the meetings, tasting and diagram my other friends getting married wished their venue had this all. The three biggest hits my guest have not stopped talking about was 1. The Filet Mignon 2. The Butternut Squash Soup 3. The Late night preztel bar station.

The amazing thing about this venue is being all black & white you can truly have any theme or colorscape and the venue will match and be perfect. They have so many options for your ceremony which is HUGE in New England!

I will truly miss going to Avenir every month and wish I could do it all again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
