Welcome to Grazina
Grazina (formerly Little Bird Events) is a boutique event space conveniently located just 30 minutes from Boston and Providence. Situated in a turn-of-the-century historic mill, our modern venue features two rooms with white oak farm tables, modern chairs, Edison lights, high ceilings, and decorative fire doors.
Our original space called, Little Bird , contains an overhead wood pergola that creates a feeling of warmth. The Lorelei Lounge is light, bright, and airy, with white hues, and a 20’ honed marble bar. Each space can be divided to suit smaller functions or combined for one big party.
While we love helping clients celebrate any occasion, our specialties are baby and wedding showers and intimate, non-traditional weddings for couples who don’t want to wait years to get married. Consider Grazina an extension of your home—as if you were hosting a dinner and dance party right at your own house!
Enjoy all the amenities of a city venue in the suburbs—with parking!
We have the place, the food, and the savvy staff to host your next event with ease, allowing you to be the ultimate host.

Hi, I'm Angela!
The idea to open my own venue was born eight years ago when planning my then four-year-old daughter’s birthday party. I couldn’t find a simple yet stylish Norwood event space where I could do it all—get in-house catering, decorate as I please, and set up games and activities.
As a passionate events and hospitality professional with nearly two decades in the industry, I saw an opportunity to create a new kind of Norwood event space. With plenty of help and encouragement from my husband, I leased and designed the property in 2017. My vision was to create more than just a venue with four walls. Grazina now focuses on adult events and offers hosts and their guests the complete experience.
Previously, I served as the events and marketing manager at James Beard-awarded Oleana Restaurant in Cambridge and managed staff and events for the Henry Organization. There is hardly anything I haven’t planned, from outdoor garden weddings to intimate family parties to casual cooking classes.
When I’m not working or taking care of my family, you can find me reading about self-growth, design, and cooking. And of course searching for the next party, especially one with dancing!

What Our Clients Say
Angela is incredibly kind and helpful and such a delight to work with. She went out of her way to be available and make her space available for us to set up the days prior to our event, and was flexible and accommodating us.
The space, tables, chairs and small touches inside are so beautiful. We look forward to working with Angela, and Little Bird Events, again soon.

Angela is absolutely FANTASTIC! She was our wedding coordinator and went above and beyond to make everything perfect. She was very available to help in the planning process. She is very organized and has great connections that she is willing to use.
She made herself available for meetings and was very good at communication. Her space is absolutely GORGEOUS! I would use her again for events in the future and am so happy we were able to work with her for our wedding.
