ABOUT CATHEDRAL

We believe that people see the problems our world faces and have a desire to help, but often don’t know where to start. So we started Cathedral with one goal in mind — to build something that’s sole purpose of existing was to make this world of ours a more just and beautiful place.

​

We donate all profits to charity — so you can throw an event while supporting a cause you care about. Easy.

​

We believe that doing something is better than nothing. In this case, that something is having your event at Cathedral.
