Brûlée Catering was able to give us the wedding of our dreams. Any great wedding starts with good wedding food, and we were pleasantly surprised with everything that Brûlée was able to provide. From the hors d’revers, to the bartenders, to dinner service, everything was elegantly presented and tasted delicious. We personally ordered the short rib and coq au vin for our wedding dinner and all of our guests were floored with both our choices. They have an incredible system in which each table has their plates passed out and collected in under an hour. I would say if dinner started at 8, by 8:45 everyone at 14 tables had completed their meals and plates were all cleared. Impressive, considering at other Philadelphia weddings we have attended, you may not eat for hours or the food is not cooked correctly. The amount of food provided was exactly that was required. There were not thousands of appetizers where no one ate their dinner but there was also enough where everyone after cocktail hour, dinner and dessert, left extremely satisfied. With Brûlée the food was perfect from beginning to end is the main choice of why we chose the location of our wedding.

As for the planning process, we worked with Alysha. Sadly, she is leaving the company but Brûlée should be kicking themselves for it! Alysha is incredibly hard working, had a lot of knowledge, great attention to detail and a lot of recommendations. Brûlée as a whole was incredibly accommodating with being flexible with their payment schedule, ensuring all our details were executed and modifying menu options. They had a beautiful tasting process where we got to meet and greet with all of the chefs developing the recipes. They provided us with ample choices with all of our linens. Lastly, they created an in-depth presentation with everything about our day, and scheduled multiple meetings with us to make sure every last detail was reviewed.

We only had a few complaints from our wedding planning process. One would be the speed in which some of our inquiries were answered. However, as we got closer to our date, those issues vastly improved. Secondly, was the wedding rehearsal. It seemed as though Brûlée’s relationship with the public library had some issues. It made scheduling the rehearsal somewhat stressful. Ultimately, we just told the library and Brulee when we were having it and they obliged, but it was not without some push back. Lastly, would be the exclusivity of the tent vendor with Brûlée. Luckily, we rolled the dice and had a clear day, but the exorbitant price of the tent’s deposit would be a hard one to swallow.

In all, we would definitely recommend The Free Library of Philadelphia to anyone. The staff, food and views alone is enough to take your breath away, and Brûlée’s involvement only enhanced for what was an unforgettable evening and wedding day.

Working with Brulee on creating the wedding of my dreams truly was a pleasure. Wedding planning is obviously stressful, however, I felt like I could rely on the Brulee team and coordinate and execute. The food was plentiful and delicious. I especially loved the homemade pretzel they made with my husband and I's initials; what a special surprise!

Special shout out to Faith who took on the position of lead coordinator only a few months prior to my wedding. She quickly caught up and truly delivered on the day. I had very high expectations for my wedding day and they completely went above and beyond my wildest imagination!

Everything that Brulee Catering did was first class. Their staff were courteous, responsive and friendly. John who ran the kitchen staff and Carol in charge of the over all operation were very professional and attentive. We are extremely happy we chose them for the wedding.
