Create MORE MEMORIES at your Wedding or Special Event

Why can’t people stop talking about that party at Catalyst Ranch?

Our warm, welcoming, colorful, inclusive, green décor catapults your guests into the rabbit hole.

From the moment they walk through the doors, something magical happens. A quickening of the blood. A perking up of the senses. A sudden realization that this is going to be a totally different kind of gathering. The environment envelopes you, your eyes discover a visual feast and the conversation starts bubbling. All without you having to lift a finger. It’s the easiest hosting gig you’ll ever have.

Our spaces are roomy enough for your in-person guests, and what’s more, our available technology can seamlessly incorporate any virtual components. Whether it’s a fundraiser with VIPs on site and the rest of the guests are virtual, or a wedding where all the guests cannot be included, we can make it happen.

Micro Events are right at home here, too. If what you’re dreaming up isn’t a full fledged “Special Event,” we’re able to make it work. We’ve hosted book releases, photo and film shoots, birthdays and product launches. Anything’s possible.

Let’s celebrate Catalyst Ranch style!

Unlike any other wedding venue

We knew as soon as we walked into Catalyst Ranch that it was perfect for our big day! The decor is fun and quirky – and unlike any other wedding venue. Our guests loved the space, too. The staff was easy to work with throughout the planning process.

Plenty of room for dancing!

“I was looking for an event space to celebrate my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah and Catalyst Ranch was perfect! It is bright and colorful and happy and just gives off a wonderful vibe. It is unconventional and so different from any other venue we looked at. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. They have relationships with all the vendors that you need which makes planning a party there very easy and they are all a pleasure to work with as well. It is such an interesting space with so many things to look at and a great color palate, you don’t really need to decorate at all…. worked out great for having quieter areas for talking, enough space for eating and plenty of room for dancing. We loved our party there and it worked out perfectly. It’s an original!”

Blew me away!

The place blew me away. It was gorgeous in every way and fit my theme in every way. I loved how big it was and how creative every corner was. There was an onsite staff team which was awesome. I’d def book again. Thank you so very much.
