Catalyst Ranch is committed to being a green event space.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses a 14 point check list when considering venues, and we are proud that Catalyst Ranch meets and exceeds all applicable standards!
As members of the Chicago Green Wedding Alliance, Catalyst Ranch is committed to promoting events that are better for the environment. It’s the mission of the GWA to encourage greener weddings, commitment ceremonies, and social events by connecting conscious consumers to environmentally and socially responsible vendors.
