We're festive, zany, and fun! There's nothing quite like us anywhere in the country. We're non-traditional here - except for our dedication to our clients. Our service is exceptional. That is what our clients say.

“I had my wedding reception at Catalyst Ranch a little over 2 months ago and I still can’t stop swooning over it.  Yes…this is a space for non-traditional brides-grooms and brides-brides and grooms-grooms. If you’re offbeat, then you need an offbeat space and I’m not sure if there is anything in the Midwest that would rival this little gem.  I want to adopt the Special Events Coordinator at Catalyst Ranch!  She was the best help ever. This was the first vendor we booked and she was so sweet to guide us in our wedding planning.  We booked our wedding photographer and my dress vendor based on her recommendations and I was extremely happy with them as well. I love you Catalyst Ranch! *sigh*”
— Martha, Bride
