Warehouse XI is a single-room industrial event space in Union Square, Somerville, that takes up to 150 guests for corporate events, weddings, performances and pop-ups. It sits less than 15 minutes from central Boston.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists corporate events as a core use. The main hall can be set up with a buffet and bench seating, a bar and tall cocktail tables, or several breakout areas with armchairs for a workshop or a training session. A full-day workshop can split the hall into zones while the lounge takes a separate activity. Daylight comes from oversized windows, ceilings are high and the walls are painted white brick, so the room is a neutral backdrop for branding and displays. The venue also hosts trade-show style events and pop-ups. The official site does not state seminar seating figures or fixed AV equipment, so ask for a floor plan drawn for your layout.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings and receptions are the second main offer. The hall is arranged around your plan rather than a fixed banquet format, and the venue says it can be styled in many directions. The team has worked in the wedding industry for over four years and can introduce vendors who match a brief. The same space also hosts bar and bat mitzvahs, fitness events and performances such as comedy shows, live bands and plays.
Rooms and capacities
The venue has three areas: a main warehouse space of 3,225 square feet, an 800 square foot lounge with exposed wooden beams and a large garage door, and a VIP or dressing room. The stated capacity is 150 guests for any type of event. Black concrete floors and air conditioning are listed, along with 400-amp electrical service and ample parking, which matter for lighting, staging and equipment.
Because the hall is an open shell, the layout, furniture and extras are arranged around each booking. During a tour, ask about tables and chairs, sound, lighting, load-in times and the end time for events.
Catering
The official pages say nothing definite about in-house catering. A vendors page exists and the team introduces approved suppliers, so plan for outside caterers and confirm kitchen access and bar rules before you commit.
History and setting
Warehouse XI stands in Union Square, described as the oldest and largest commercial area in Somerville, which first appears in history during the Revolutionary War. The building has been converted into a modern industrial space, and the venue presents itself as a small, woman-owned business that gets to know each client.
Getting there
The address is 11 Sanborn Ct, Somerville, MA 02143. Downtown Boston is about 15 minutes away. Parking is available, according to the performances page. Tours can be scheduled through the website.
