Peabody, MA

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. Inquire today to schedule a tour!

Choosing Olio as our reception space for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made in the entire process. We are a queer couple who had been denied by other venues and made to feel uncomfortable by other venue teams/ owners. From our first email interactions, we noticed that the owner Sarah made no assumptions. They had LGBTQ folks on their social media/ websites and all paperwork was not heteronormative. We were instantly comfortable. When we walked into Olio, it was undeniable that Olio is a venue like no other. We are not a “ballroom” couple and yet ballrooms were the only spaces that could hold our 210 person wedding. Olio was instantly all that we dreamed of. It was a HUGE space that met all our needs, was affordable, and was not a ballroom. It felt like us. Sarah was extremely knowledgeable about vendors, wedding planners, and the surrounding area. She was available for advice/recommendations and directed us to all of the best photography backdrops! She and her staff felt like friends. They were excited to celebrate in our joy, hear all about us. We were not dollar signs to them. We were important. On the day of our wedding, Olio staff was ready to give us our best day ever. WE did our first look in front of the big windows of Olio. Staff was peering from the stairs, taking pictures & beaming smiles our way. We were treated well by all that were involved. All of our guests commented on how amazing the space was (and still are to this day.) We are so lucky to have stumbled upon this venue and this staff of people. It was all that we could have dreamed of and more!

We loved our experience planning/hosting a wedding cereomony and reception at the Armory. The staff were great to work with and the whole event went off without a hitch! The space was beautiful with lighting and decorations. One of the biggest advantages is that the Armory doesn't restrict which caterer you can work with. Many of the other venues we looked at had exclusive contracts with caterers that were many-fold more expensive than the one we ultimately used. Physically, the space we rented is a large performance hall with a stage on one side and a mezzanine on the other. Both are big open hardwood-floor spaces. The space is kind of dark, but looks great with adequate lighting and decorations. The Armory offers some string-lights and up-lights for free, and we also hired a lighting company to add additional lights. We also rented some plants. We had the ceremony on the main floor, then a cocktail hour on the mezzanine during which the catering staff flipped the main floor (we had 140 guests and they all fit comfortably). A live band performed on the stage and the caterer prepped in the backstage area. There is no kitchen so the caterer had to prepare all the food ahead of time offsite. One drawback is that the Armory doesn't allow hard alcohol to be served. Some other pros are that there's a parking lot and a new hotel that opened nearby. Overall, we would highly recommend the Armory, especially if you are willing to mix and match vendors and aren't expecting wrap-around service from a place that does weddings all the time.

Their food and beer are excellent and they continue to expand their menu in both to allow for multiple options. I highly recommend this establishment for any event.

We had our ceremony and reception at the Foundation Room and it was everything we dreamed it would be! The House of Blues staff was so so accommodating. Meaghan was an absolute dream to work with for the year leading up to it and she did not let us down at all. She was with us every step of the way, from the time that we toured the venue to very end of the night. She went above and beyond to take care of every detail all day long. I cannot stress enough how incredible of an experience we had working with her. She paid attention to every detail, listened to us and made every little change we asked for. She also coordinated with all of our vendors beforehand and even set up our macaron tower. She truly brought our vision to life and helped us throw the best New Year’s Eve party. The House of Blues staff was on top of table turnovers, quick clean ups, made sure we had everything we needed and were so helpful with set up and clean up. They made it a seamless, worry free night for us. The food was delicious and our specialty cocktails were even better! Meaghan worked with us to craft tasty specialty cocktails that were a hit with our guests. She also made sure everything came out right on schedule. The unique vibe of the venue made it feel like an exclusive and intimate party where our guests were free to lounge and dance or hide away in one of the many rooms. The theme set the tone for the party. It was an absolutely incredible night and we can’t thank this team enough!

Cisco Brewers Portsmouth

5.0

Portsmouth, NH
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

Cisco Brewers Portsmouth is a wedding venue located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The event space provides fresh, top-quality brews and a picturesque setting for your special day. A laid-back, contemporary atmosphere and flexible spaces ensure an event you and your guests will remember for a lifetime.

My husband and I aren't even sure how to quite put our happiness and appreciation for Cisco Brewers into words! Every aspect of our wedding was absolutely perfect. The communication was seamless, from start to finish. The included setup and breakdown of the wedding was AMAZING, but the added attention to detail and little finishing touches really made the night. Brielle was great from our first venue tour, all the way through the end of the wedding night- she always made sure we had no stress, was extremely tactful and sweet in dealing with guests, and made sure we had the night of our lives. Every other staff member we met was equally as amazing! We were lucky with the weather to hold our entire wedding and reception outdoors, but knowing the indoor Alemaker's Hall was a backup made us feel even more confident with our decision. Our guests continue to reach out to us to tell us how great of a time they had, and how beautiful everything was!

It has two floors and you can do a more dramatic entrance using the staircase. They contact at AFH, Rich, was very kind and easy to work with. They do have an exclusive caterer that you have to use and they are pricey. But the food is amazing and worth it.
