Max and the team at Kathedral were a fantastic choice and a fantastic venue for our event. The whole process with the team from our initial meeting through the event itself was sup...
er smooth and he was very receptive to our ideas and wishes! In addition, the Kathedral itself is a great and unique venue that will make your event memorable and not a cookie cutter type space. The Kathedral also has an attached boutique hotel, The Martinn, which housed a number of our guests for the weekend, was a great spot as it really connects to the venue itself. The lighting, table options, flexibility with vendors allowed us to customize our event and truly make it unique. The day of the event Max made everything run super smooth and was present at all times. Max was also very available leading up to the event answering all of our questions and ensuring everything was just right. I highly recommend the Kathedral for your next event. Max is the best!

My husband manages Kathedral, so I’ve spent a lot of time in the space over the years—but getting married there was something else entirely.
We had a very specific vision for our ...
wedding day, and even with my familiarity with the venue, I was blown away by how beautifully it all came together. Kathedral truly is the perfect canvas—it allowed us to bring our ideas to life in a way that felt personal, unique, and completely “us.”
One of the biggest bonuses was having the boutique hotel attached to the building. It made everything so much easier and more enjoyable—our entire wedding party was able to stay together under one roof, which kept the day stress-free and gave us extra time to soak in every moment with the people we love most.
We worked with an incredible group of vendors who truly became a dream team. They collaborated seamlessly, managed every detail, and transformed the venue into something magical. The entire day ran smoothly and effortlessly, and we were able to be fully present knowing we were in such good hands.
Being part of so many weddings as the partner of someone in the industry gave me a different perspective—but experiencing our own wedding at Kathedral made me fall in love with the space in a whole new way. It was the best day of our lives, and I’m so grateful we got to spend it there.
