Maddie R. Married on 04/30/2022All around excellent venue and services!
We had both our ceremony and reception at the College of Physicians at the end of April and it was absolutely perfect. My husband and I are both in healthcare and loved the idea of having the Mutter Museum open for our guests during cocktail hour, and made the experience all the more memorable. The venue itself is historic and beautiful. We were lucky with the weather and able to have our ceremony in the courtyard, which was beautiful and everything was in bloom! I worked with Liz Savitz, who kept everything running smoothly from linen orders to day of timeline. The hall upstairs looked beautiful and really does not need much for decor to look elegant. The food provided by Catering and Design (their exclusive caterer) was absolutely delicious and many of my guests said it was the bet food they have ever had at a wedding! The cake was also perfect and they styled the frosting and flowers exactly how I requested. My only regret is not taking pictures at the marble staircase! We loved having our wedding here and would absolutely recommend it to others! -

Amelia Married on 10/12/2019Incredible!
I cannot recommend Kristen and the team at Catering by Design enough. We loved our wedding at The College of Physicians. I can honestly say every aspect of our wedding went completely as planned and looked exactly as I had envisioned and I had a very specific vision! Kristen was unbelievable-- incredibly responsive and took on way more than most day of coordinators (calling vendors, creating the timeline, recommending vendors, previewing decor set up). She made recommendations and was honest when she really thought something wasn't a good idea, but at the end of the day she let me come up with the concept and executed it beautifully.
In addition to Kristen, the rest of the staff was incredible. I had a number of guests come up to me and tell me the service was outstanding-- better than most top notch restaurants. We even had our own personal concierge, Zakiya, who seemed to know what we needed even before we asked. We actually got to eat at our wedding!
Lastly, the food. It was delicious and again, we got so many compliments. We loved the food so much we ate the packed up leftovers the next night for dinner.
Overall, the evening was incredible and we could not have pulled it off without Kristen and the team at Catering by Design. We cannot thank them enough!
