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

Wonderful Wedding Experience!

We had the most amazing experience having our wedding at Olio! The venue was beautiful when we toured but seeing our vision come true made it absolutely breath taking! It is just such an amazing space and we see how it can be used for so many awesome events. Sarah and her team (Without a Hitch) made the months leading up to the wedding and day of a breeze! Sarah made sure we were on track throughout the planning process and helped to coordinate so many things with our other vendors. She created a wonderful and comprehensive timeline that saved us to much time. She led a rehearsal that eased all of our anxiety. The day of ran SO smooth thanks to her help. We totally recommend Sarah's company "Without a hitch" and Olio!

Best Wedding!

In 2021 my boyfriend and I attended a wedding at Olio and couldn't believe how perfect the space was. Being from the north shore, it was easy to get to which we loved. Once we got to the dinner portion of the wedding and had chicken parm (not your traditional wedding piece of chicken or steak) - we thought, this is the best wedding ever!

When we got engaged in December 2023, the first, and only tour we had was at Olio. We assumed there would be no availability for 2024, but Sarah was able to secure us with the perfect date in June (just six months away).

We knew we didn't want a traditional wedding, and loved the fact that Sarah supported our non-traditional, crazy ideas. When I took my grandmother to visit the space, she met Sarah and said "she's so nice and thoughtful, but you must have to be to work in this industry" I can confidently say after planning my wedding in 6 months that not all vendors are like Sarah and the team at Olio! They go ABOVE and BEYOND to help you create your perfect day. They are incredibly fast at responding, and always taking the time to reply with kindness which goes a long way.

Sarah & team helped us craft the most perfect PARTY atmosphere for our ~200 guests. We went with Premier as our caterer and loved being able to hire local Peabody establishments for food, shoutout to Champions Pub, Toscanas, and an INCREDIBLE grazing board by Edex Provisions (right outside of Olio!) Followed by epic late night snacks from McDonalds. Olio allowed us to create the wedding menu of our dreams :)

I would absolutely recommend working with Sarah and the team at Olio. My friends and family are still raving about the space, the food, and how much fun the night was. Olio gives you the flexibility to create the day of your dreams, and the team is there to guide you along the way. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Olio & team!!

The perfect space for us

We had such an incredible wedding at Olio. The venue is essentially a beautiful, historic blank canvas which we gravitated towards for our ability to bring in our own vendors and make the whole experience our own! The greenery, lighting, decor, and incredible food (shoutout to Kelli Petri @ Relish Catering & Events) made the whole space feel ethereal and stunning, and we had so much fun dancing the night away. Sarah and her team where incredibly communicative and helpful throughout the process, answering every question and accommodating multiple tours of the venue so our vision could come to life.
