Spencer and the whole Birchtree team made sure our wedding went incredibly well and our guests could not stop talking about how great the attention to detail was throughout the night. From the initial quote to tasting to the big day, the team was with us every step of the way. Spencer stepped in to really keep our day on schedule and running smooth, while each member of the catering staff were lovely, energetic, and fun. Our friends felts incredibly catered to throughout the evening from the table service to the bar tenders. Thank you for making our day so special!

We cannot say enough good things about working with Birchtree for our wedding. From the beginning, we were impressed with their ratings, ethical treatment of their employees, and commitment to sustainability. But it was the service that blew us away, and really made our wedding phenomenal. Working with Spencer was one of the highlights of our year of planning -- we can't say enough good things about him, and he truly went above and beyond at every stage. His seamless day-of coordination -- not just of the catering, but really of the entire wedding (processional, music, dessert delivery, etc.) -- kept us all calm, and he even found time to dance with us during the reception. The rest of the staff was also incredible (shout out to Keenan for entertaining our nieces all day, and to the wait staff who caught, mid-cocktail hour, a previously missed allergy and proceeded to alter their entree without missing a beat). The food was fantastic -- local, fresh, delicious, and hot!! Yes, we spent more on our catering than we intended, but it was absolutely money well-spent (and the service and coordination saved us money elsewhere). Thank you to the entire Birchtree Team!!

Working with Birchtree was an absolute delight! From the initial inquiry email all the way through to the wedding day, every interaction was professional, friendly, and helpful. Spencer was our point of contact and I honestly do not know how I would've made it through this experience without him. In addition to guiding through the catering process, he also served as a day-of coordinator and helped with setup, linens/tables, run of show, etc etc. We had last-minute cancellations and table changes due to COVID, and Spencer ensured that everything was taken care of and not stressful for us.

All of our guests raved about how delicious the food at our wedding was! They were also very accommodating of dietary restrictions and allergies, and had a great variety of options to choose from. Their menus are seasonal, and everything was very fresh! The servers and bartenders were super friendly and knowledgeable.

Beyond the service and food, we just genuinely connected with Spencer. He acted as a host to our guests, he made sure we were fed and taken care of during the day, he advocated for us when we needed a moment to ourselves. So much so that our photographer asked at the end of the night if Spencer was a friend of ours and if we wanted a photo together.

Birchtree, thank you so much for making the wedding of our dreams come true!

Mouth-watering food, incredible organization, and record-setting response times – we couldn’t have asked for more from our catering team. Spencer, Allegra, and the entire Birchtree team were the reason that our wedding was a smash hit! We had a difficult time with our wedding arrangements from the start (our first venue dropped our contract, and Birchtree helped us to find a second venue within two weeks – then the whole pandemic reschedule nightmare of 2020…). The only reason we felt comfortable that things would work out when they got difficult was the optimistic, above-and-beyond support that we received from this team. As we also had a pandemic baby before our wedding reception, we truly couldn’t have done it without Spencer, who was able to help us plan all of the little details that we didn’t have the brain power to think about in the new-baby haze. And I haven’t even gotten to the food – I got so many compliments on the thoughtful touches, the delicious apps, the cheese board, and the dinner: the family-style dining was a huge hit, and the pumpkin gnocchi and roasted chicken were the best I’ve ever had. You truly cannot go wrong with this team, and I credit them with our wedding being a completely stress-free party where everyone had a fantastic time (and as the bride and groom, they ensured that we got to eat our fill!). If I could give 50 stars, this team earned them!

We had a wonderful experience working with Birchtree. COVID delayed our wedding but Birchtree was quick to help us reschedule and maintained great communication when we resumed planning. Our guests loved the food (they even brought us a plate of apps so we didn't go without!), Allegra was the perfect Day-Of Coordinator, and she and Spencer made the planning process easy. I'd recommend them to anyone getting married in the Philly area.

I could not ask for anything more from Birchtree Catering. From the first tasting we went to I knew they would be our top choice. The food was prepared amazingly and presented beautifully, the menu was created and customized with us in mind - though I would highly recommend letting chef Rasa work her magic. Everything was locally sourced, which was important to us too. They were very flexible and I appreciated everything the team did!

We had such an extraordinary experience, start to finish, with Birchtree. The planning process was made so much easier thanks to their expertise and competence - their team absolutely understood our vision and made me feel supported in all of my decisions, while simultaneously providing expert guidance which made the event so much better than I could have imagined. Communication was prompt, clear, and thorough throughout the entire planning process. On the wedding day itself, their team (shout out to Nicole!) truly went above and beyond. We had a classic Philadelphia deluge 5 minutes before the ceremony was to begin, and Nicole did a PHENOMENAL job of assuaging my anxieties, helping us to make the right game-time decisions, and making the ceremony work just as smoothly as it would have outside. The Birchtree team then worked their butts off to reset the (soaked) tables, clean off the (soaked) chairs, and generally make the outdoor reception look gorgeous and perfect and as if it hadn't just poured buckets half an hour beforehand. The food was fantastic and very beautifully presented and their servers were so kind and enthusiastic and present. I've planned larger events before and have experienced that a moment where something goes wrong and I find myself getting called in to problem solve, but not when working Birchtree; they really handled every hiccough with professionalism and grace and allowed me to enjoy the day fully - I can't imagine what it would have been like to put on a wedding without their help and support. We felt thoroughly and genuinely cared for throughout the entire event. I would absolutely choose Birchtree again and recommend their services to anyone who wants to have a fantastic, delicious, effortless wedding.

Please don't waste time looking at other caterers, Birchtree Catering and their highly talented and professional team will deliver all your wedding needs. The people were AMAZING and the food was equally AMAZING. Did I mention they also have a wedding coordinator who is so detailed and attentive, there is little worry than your day won't go perfect. Because it will. I keep telling people that in the future I will just make up events just to have them cater.

Birchtree was the backbone of our wedding and we really could not be more thankful for their expertise, their helpfulness, or their incredible food. It was far more than just a food vendor: Nicole, our coordinator, was so incredibly helpful, a total boss, super responsive, and though of everything that this very overwhelmed bride managed to let slip by. Her advice and recommendations were invaluable to us and we just adore her—she is the perfect person for this job.
As far as the food: my husband and I are self proclaimed foodies, whose shared passion and hobby is, literally, cooking and eating and talking about food. Birchtree's chefs are outstanding, the food was spectacular, and I've lost count of how many people told us how delicious it was during and after the wedding. THAT is the sort of food you want at a big day, and that is exactly the sort of food they deliver.
We're so thankful to Birchtree for everything and cannot thank them enough.

I wanted to bring Allegra and Rasa home with me! I truly can't recommend Birchtree Catering enough after an outstanding and delicious rehearsal dinner last weekend. We selected them from out of town based on past reviews and awards; also loved the fact that they are woman-owned as well as their commitment to sustainability. After a year of planning and tweaking, our dinner was spot on. It was arranged beautifully, was plentiful and absolutely delicious. The format, set in a two-story venue, included cocktails and appetizer board on the main floor prior to dinner, then dinner buffet upstairs with bridal party and family, then dessert buffet back in original main floor space with all the additional out of town guests joining the fun after the dinner hour. It flowed perfectly and desserts were just as delicious as the rest. All rave reviews from our guests. Allegra and Rasa provided supportive and creative planning, integrated all of our ideas (which was not easy with multiple visions and dietary needs), and created a unique and amazing event for us. They were communicative and responsive from the beginning of our planning to the very end of our event. Hated for it to end. And I would (almost) love to plan another Philly wedding or other event JUST to be able to use them. Love, love, love this business!Read Less
