About

A rarity in restaurants, Catalyst's 1600 square feet of private event space offers the flexibility and service of a luxury hotel with the personable character and cuisine of a top restaurant.

Catalyst's team of managers, event planners and chefs are trained to execute to perfection. Private Event Sales Manager Maggie Couture can organize special menus with Chef Kovel, order floral décor and even replace Catalyst's dining room furniture with a modern lounge - complete with sofas, cocktail tables and sheer drapes hung from the ceiling to create separate spaces.

Finding a city wedding location is no easy task, but Catalyst removes many of the constraints of a restaurant wedding venue by bringing hotel event space and service to an intimate, personal restaurant setting. Catalyst's team of event managers developed their talents planning and executing weddings at five-star hotels, experience they now bring to weddings at Catalyst.

Saturday wedding for 200 with all events at one venue? Not a problem. Catalyst can host the ceremony inside its private rooms, on the heated patio or even on the grassy lawn of Technology Square. Guests can then move to cocktails around the fire, on the patio or around the bar. Dinner, followed by dancing and live music can take place in the restaurant itself or in 1600 square feet of private event space.

Have a smaller affair in mind? Catalyst can arrange for ceremony, cocktails, dinner and dancing in its private event space, away from the bustle of a weekend dinner crowd.

Some highlights of our wedding options include:

  • A well-vetted selection of event specialists for floral, A/V, staging, furniture rentals and event design coordinated by Catalyst Private Event Sales Manager Maggie Couture
  • Flow from ceremony to cocktails to dinner and dancing, each with its own guest experience
  • Ability to plan the entire wedding weekend of events, from rehearsal to wedding to post-nuptials brunch

The Best Wedding Day!

We got married at Catalyst this past June 2024 and I could go on forever about how amazing the experience was. We knew we wanted to get married at a restaurant near Boston, that could accommodate a ceremony and reception and although there are many restaurants around the city, what made our decision so easy was meeting Robyn and her team at Catalyst.

From the moment we toured the restaurant with Robyn and walked through our plan/vision for the day, we were sold. She covered everything, how the day would go, our options for the space, the ceremony, plans for rain, food, late-night snacks, and how she and her team would be with us every step of the way. They were not lying on that last piece!

Robyn and her team anticipated every need we could have had during the day/night, often offering us suggestions or bringing up details we had not thought of. When I say we just had to show up on the day and everything was ready to go, I mean it. Also, this review cannot be complete without a special shout-out to the chef for making the menu exactly how we wanted it; Carlos, and the bartenders and servers, who always made sure our drinks were full and we did not go hungry!

Our wedding day was perfect, and every detail was taken care of from start to finish. Our guests could not stop raving about the food, drinks, and how amazing the space was.

Amazing coordinator and staff!

My husband and I had the night of our lives at our NYE wedding! Robyn was a dream to work with as our coordinator - every little detail was made perfect! From the start of our planning, Robyn was super responsive in communication and offered a ton of suggestions for vendors/rentals/add-ons! The day of the wedding, Robyn made sure that everything ran even better than planned! Our guests are still raving about the food (BIG bonus in having your wedding at a restaurant)! There are so many options to choose from to build your menu, and you truly can't go wrong with any of them. We opted for late night bites (little chicken sandwiches and fried) which our guests also loved for their shuttle ride back to the hotel! The staff was incredibly accommodating and fun through the whole night as well! I loved that they came to dance with us and hyped up our guests on the dance floor, too! I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our Catalyst wedding!!!

Catalyst was Worth the Wait!

The team at Catalyst is amazing. My husband and I had to delay our wedding twice due to Covid and our party was worth the wait! Robyn walked us through the entire event during planning, offered wonderful suggestions, and could not have been more friendly and responsive. The food, drinks, servers...everything was top-notch.
The set up at Catalyst works really well to provide guests places to sit and chat, dance like crazy, grab some air, sit by the fireplace, etc. Robyn even swept us away on a couple occasions so we could have just five minutes to eat, have a drink, and enjoy the moment with each other. I cannot recommend Robyn and team at Catalyst enough, and I have never felt so taken car of in my life.
Do not hesitate to reach out to Catalyst!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
