Wedding venue for same-sex marriages and commitment ceremonies.
You’ve finally made the decision to commit to each other in front of family and friends and the dilemma becomes where to have your ceremony. It’s probably the most important day of your lives and you want the space to reflect both your personalities and be welcoming to everyone. Catalyst Ranch has been witness to many commitment ceremony vows, all unique and beautiful. Actually, the first event we ever hosted was a commitment ceremony.

We also originated the NuptEquality event, the first wedding show focused on showcasing services for same-sex commitment ceremonies. The show included an incredible assortment of vendors and two couture collections specifically designed for this event.

Catalyst Ranch is all about throwing a great party. And making it super easy for you to be the host(ess) with the most(est) and not even get your hands dirty. Since the rooms are fully furnished with an eclectic mix of vintage and ethnic pieces, there’re no rentals needed and your guests have plenty of places to recline, cozy up in a corner and have a private tête-à-tête or put their feet up between dance numbers.

With all the colors and artwork on the walls, there’s no need to form a decorating committee (you can put that behind you with prom). Instead, put your effort into cool invitations, selecting party favors, making that select guest list and picking out the tunes.

As for food for your reception, we’ve teamed up with some of the most scrumdilly-icious caterers in Chicago! They’re chock-full of tasty ideas and talent, all at your beck and call.

And, the best part is that you don’t have to it all alone. Our Gala Girl is here to guide you all the way, whether it’s introducing you to some great vendors, pointing you to the vintage photo booth or figuring out the perfect layout for the room. No matter whether you’re looking to pull something together quickly and simply at the last minute or you’ve got a year to plan every detail, we can help!

Catalyst Ranch is very conveniently located in the West Loop, in downtown Chicago. Right off the expressway and near all the major train stations, getting here is easy. There are wonderful hotels nearby and fast taxis or limos to get you here. Thrifty parking is all around, too.

Let’s Celebrate - Catalyst Ranch style!
