About

Turn your event dream into a reality.

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

Dream wedding venue!

While dating my now wife, I used to drive past Olio every time I came to Peabody and knew from the start that it would be the home of our future wedding. The time came and we immediately scheduled our tour and fell in love. We knew we needed a special venue since our flower girl is in a wheelchair and Olio shocked us by being not only fully accessible but also so willing to accommodate our needs. Sarah helped us envision the reception and ceremony of our dreams during the walk through and we got straight to work!

Olio provided a comprehensive vendor list but also allowed us the ability to bring in a few personal vendors as well making the process simple and also very customizable. Through Sarah we learned about her day of coordination service, Without a Hitch, and they truly lived up to their name! Ashley was an absolute icon and kept us on track through out the planning process and then made the day of entirely effortless for my wife and I. Our families can not speak more highly of the natural beauty of the space and also the amazing team.

We can’t recommend Olio highly enough and can’t wait to spread the word about this amazingly LGBTQ+ and disability friendly venue.

Our perfect, personalized wedding

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).

Gorgeous space and wonderful staff

Olio was an amazing and beautiful venue! I can’t speak highly enough of the kind staff and gorgeous space. The venue worked wonderfully for our small wedding, but also would have worked well for a much larger event.
We found Olio through a list of wedding vendors who were temporarily offering free and discounted services to LGBTQ+ couples. Olio’s staff was communicative and helped connect us with additional vendors in the area. We highly recommend Olio for your wedding or other special event :)
