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.

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 was the only venue that we toured for our September 2023 wedding and we fell in love with it as soon as we stepped in. This venue was everything we could have asked for and more. We instantly loved the passion that Sarah (owner) had and the history of the space. Sarah is warm, genuine, and her and all of the Olio staff are genuinely excited to help you make your event special. We loved the fact that Olio is a blank canvas, which allowed us to create an event that looked exactly like we wanted. The beautiful wood floors, stunning cement walls, and the gorgeous windows created the perfect backdrop for our event. We loved that we were able to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one space, but the room never felt small or cramped for our wedding of about 120. The windows let in beautiful natural light during the ceremony and then when the sun went down, the room felt warm and intimate with the light from candles, string lights, and uplights, making it the perfect setting for dinner, speeches, and the dance party. At the end of the evening, we continued on down the street to Granite Coast and then back to Bell Inn for the night--a true Main Street affair! We loved Olio and are so glad we chose it for our wedding!

My husband and I had our wedding in late December 2023, and it was an absolute dream. From the moment we saw the estate we fell in love. Willowdale Estate is a stunning property inside and out, full of character and charm making it the most magical wedding venue. Not only does the estate speak for itself but the staff is just as incredible. Each member of the Willowdale staff was professional, accommodating, and kind. We were lucky enough to work with Julia as our event coordinator. After our first meeting we knew we were in great hands. Julia took the time to go over details, answer any questions, and offer suggestions. We were blown away by her professionalism and calm demeanor. She took care of all the details and décor seamlessly all while making sure everyone knew where they needed to be. Julia is fantastic at her job it was such an honor getting to work with her. The food and drinks were delicious! Our guests were so impressed by the quality and variety of food offered, and of course the chocolate chip cookies were a big hit. We truly couldn’t have had a better experience with Willowdale Estate and its talented team. We feel so lucky that Willowdale Estate is forever a part of our love story.

Your cocktail hour in the Nautical lounge, Crystal room and garden terrace enables you to have the outdoor experience without being too concerned for New England weather. The bridal suite is the perfect place to get prepared for the big day. Who needs the hustle and bustle of running around to meet appointments on wedding day? Let them come to you.

We had a wonderful wedding at the Nahant Country Club. Yasmene and Heather were great to work with and our wedding ran incredibly smoothly. The venue itself is beautiful and unique, our guests had a great time. The prices are incredibly reasonable and we additionally received an off season discount. Their wedding packages include so much beyond the standard wedding packages including the use of the bridal suite, appetizers/champagne in the bridal suite on the wedding day, use of their (beautiful) centerpieces, a separate happy hour for the wedding party during photographs and much more. Yasmene went above and beyond on our wedding day- she even sewed my nephew's superhero mask when it broke. Many of our guests commented on how she was the best wedding coordinator they had ever seen. Overall, we are incredibly happy with our selection of the Nahant Country Club. It is a beautiful venue run by incredibly efficient and kind women!
