Assuming you mean "en masse", it is when a large group of couples marry in the same ceremony. Cult leader Sun Myung Moon is well-known for performing such ceremonies. These ceremonies are called blessing ceremonies or "mass weddings".

In Roman Catholicism, Marriage is a Sacrament , solemnized by a ceremony in Church with a special Mass or Celebration of the Holy Eucharist. Not " en masse " , as in a group.

Roman Catholic AnswerTo marry in Mass is to have the marriage ceremony performed during the celebration of the Eucharist after the homily, it is called a Nuptial Mass.

from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980

Nuptial Mass The Mass at which a Catholic is married. With a bishop's permission, a nuptial Mass may be offered in a mixed marriage when the non-Catholic partner is baptized. The ritual provides for the marriage to be performed after the Gospel and homily, with the nuptial blessing after the Lord's Prayer, and a special blessing of bride and groom at the end of the Mass.

In the Catholic religion what does it mean to have to marry outside the context of Mass?

The why of 'have to marry outside the context of Mass' is crucial to a proper answer. Even then, its a question for a priest. If it's a 'have to' because the Church would determine that the union is illicit, the Church does so in believing one's soul could be at peril.
