After stepping inside the gorgeous Globe Dye Works, it was immediately apparent that Birchtree are wedding planning and catering experts. There were so many small almost-unnoticeable adornments placed throughout the venue that it felt so much more personal and loving in comparison to other weddings I’ve attended. Care and pride resonated throughout, with a meticulous attention to detail. Speaking of resonated, the food. THE FOOD! The most tender brisket, juicy chicken, herbed and roasted root veg; all served family-style to each table simultaneously so absolutely no one waited. - were delicious. Servers even came around and asked if we wanted seconds. It felt like we were eating at a friend’s place who also happens to be a world class chef. On a personal note, for someone who doesn’t drink: the non-alcoholic cocktails were stellar; the fact that Birchtree focused on ensuring all guests, inclusive of those with dietary or drink restriction, was comfortable and cared for, far surpasses so many other events.Both the bride and groom confirmed similar sediments regarding Birchtree’s expertise with regards to planning, execution, and all-around professionalism, highlighting their primary contact Spencer went above and beyond to make certain their day was nothing short of perfect. You would be foolish not to contact Birchtree for your next event.

Our photographer recommended Birchtree Catering, and we are SO happy we decided to use them! First of all, Spencer was such a pleasure to work with. You can immediately tell that he really knows what he is doing. He came to visit to site, and he was able to make great recommendations that we would have never considered. Second of all, the food was SO GOOD! So many of our guests told us that they really loved the food and the catering staff. The staff was so friendly and created an awesome vibe! At one point, I looked over while the photographer was trying to take a photo of our dog, and one of the servers was dancing so our dog would look at the camera! :) We had to move our event inside due to weather, and it was a seamless process, thanks to Birchtree. Also, Birchtree catered to my gluten allergy and other guest allergies with no issues! We're so happy we found Birchtree Catering and would use them again in a heartbeat!

I just love everything about Birchtree Catering.Birchtree has catered events for my business and everyone at the party swooned over how good the food was and how nice and professional the staff is.The first Birchtree catered event that I went to several years back was all sourced sustainably and was zero waste. It blew my mind that catering could be done in a thoughtful, sustainable, and delicious way and made me a devotee.Since then, I've been to several events catered by them as well as their supper club and I've always been incredibly impressed. Their team is filled with amazing people and their new chef is super talented creating some of the most delicious food I've had outside of a high end restaurant.Whether you are hosting something huge or just having an office party for 20, its not possible to do better than Birchtree.

After three years and 3 postponements because of Covid, we finally had our international family reunion brunch for 60 relatives at the Hill-Physick House. Birchtree catered the event, and was a delight to work with. The food was delicious! Each item on the menu was creatively prepared. Rather than a plated meal or a buffet, they suggested family style, with each menu item plentifully served in inviting dishes. It was lovely to pass the food around the 72' round tables, as one would do with those you love most. The staff was friendly, kind and helpful. They really helped to create the background for an incredible memory for all! Spencer, Allegra and Kelliann have all been amazing throughout these 3 years. We look forward to future events with Birchtree catering!

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!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Birchtree Catering. From start to finish, they guided us and worked with us every step of the way to make our dream wedding come to life. Ours was one of those 2020 pandemic weddings that ended up being planned THREE times before we finally had our big day May 2022. We had to find a new venue after everything was rescheduled from our original date and Nicole presented us with options until we landed on what ended up being the venue of our dreams. Spencer worked tirelessly with us to ensure that we could stay within our budget while providing us with what we ultimately wanted for our guests, including honoring original pricing for anything we had to update or change based on our new venue layout. Allegra was there on the day to make sure that things ran smoothly and it could not have gone better. EVERYTHING was beautiful. The food was INCREDIBLE. The staff was PHENOMENAL. Keenan was our personal server for the evening and catered to our every need. (We want Keenan at EVERY single party we throw from now on!) Every time I thought I would have to worry about something or if I didn’t have an answer or a plan or a solution, Birchtree was there. Spencer had answers, solutions, suggestions, inspirations. I could not have imagined a more perfect event and I am just so thankful that a caterer such as Birchtree exists who align so closely with my own personal beliefs regarding sustainability with events that are not full of waste and/or harmful to the environment all while being elegant and affordable.

Birchtree catered my housewarming party in Mt. Airy this past weekend, and the experience was absolutely fabulous. From the very start, Spencer was extremely responsive and helped me a craft a menu that not only impressed my guests, but stayed within my budget. The evening of the party, the entire Birchstree event staff was impeccably professional and made sure that I didn't have to stress about anything. The food display was beautiful and delicious, and the bartending service was perfect--the signature cocktails were particularly a hit with my friends! They also did a very thoughtful job of clean-up. Birchtree catered my husband's 30th birthday a few years ago, and I didn't think it was possible, but they have even improved over time. I could not be happier with how the event went, and would unreservedly recommend them!

No other possible choice for wedding catering in Philadelphia! 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!

It was the perfect day! Our daughter's wedding was at Awbury Arboretum and Birchtree Catering was amazing! From start to finish - everything was flawless! We can't thank Nicole and the Birchtree crew enough! Thank you - thank you - thank you!

Birchtree Catering provided a beautiful array of food to our fundraising event for Montessori Seeds of Education. Our guests commented repeatedly about the delicious and plentiful fare. I could only agree with them wholeheartedly and thank Birchtree for making our event a great success!

We used Birchtree Catering this weekend for the wedding. I can't say enough how wonderful the whole experience was. From the moment we met Rasa we knew it was the catering company we would like to use for our wedding. Rasa is the super star. Food presentation and taste was beyond perfection. Just Wow!!! Thank you Rasa, Nicole and the rest of the team...
