Catalyst Restaurant

Catalyst Restaurant offers 1,750 square feet of private event space in Cambridge's Technology Square, combining the flexibility and service of a luxury hotel with the personable character of a top restaurant. The venue features industrial-chic design inspired by surrounding architecture, with maple wood accents and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the courtyard. The event team, led by Director of Events Robyn Yee, brings over 15 years of industry experience and backgrounds in five-star hotel event planning to every wedding. The All Space accommodates up to 150 seated guests with wall-to-wall windows providing natural light and courtyard views. For intimate gatherings, the Fireplace Room seats 16 at a custom wooden table, while the semi-private Atrium offers an elegant setting for 62 guests. The venue can host ceremonies indoors, on the heated patio, or on the grassy lawn of Technology Square, allowing guests to flow from ceremony to cocktails around the fire to dinner and dancing. With capacity for up to 275 guests across various configurations, Catalyst handles entire wedding weekends from rehearsal dinner to ceremony to post-wedding brunch. The culinary team creates custom menus using locally sourced New England ingredients. Private Event Sales Manager Maggie Couture coordinates floral décor, furniture rentals, staging, and event design, even arranging modern lounge setups with sofas and sheer drapes to transform the space.
