    This is the perfect venue for any couple that wants something unique without sacrificing any beauty. This building stuns from the moment you approach the giant front doors through the wrought iron gate and a grand marble staircase in the lobby is the first thing your guests will see. We had our ceremony in the Medicinal Herb Garden – the plants and flowers were beautiful, and the ivy-covered brick was a perfect backdrop for our ceremony and cocktail hour. The Mutter Museum was open to our guests and our reception was upstairs in Mitchell Hall, which features gorgeous oil paintings and a wood dais, where our wedding cake sat. Kristen at CBD, the college’s caterer, was an amazing help throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. This venue has a groom and bridal suite as well as other areas for pictures. We love this venue!!

    Like to visit museums when visiting any new city. Opted for the not so usual. This museum had me and my wife captivated for a full hour. Only downside was not being able to take photos.

    We just had our wedding here and the whole experience was outstanding! The staff was absolutely amazing, Jennifer and Kristen with Catering By Design were angels and we could not have done it without them. My guests loved the food and they keep talking about how cool it was to see the museum during cocktail hour. It was everything we had hoped for.

    The exhibits and information were amazing. Informative, creepy and even gross sometimes, just a very interesting assortment of items. So many cool things to see, I would definitely come back and do another walk through.

    So cool and educational I really enjoyed it!! If you're interested in anatomy and disease or if you just have morbid curiosity I highly recommend this museum!

    I'm nearly three weeks out from my wedding at the College of Physicians through Catering By Design, and I still can't believe how amazing it was. The staff that helped us prepare for the big day were amazing, as were the staff on hand the day-of. Liz was our go-to contact person at the College after Diana got us set up. Liz was amazing--I am a nervous and meticulous planner that obsesses over minute details. Liz was there to answer every question and concern I had promptly, while also giving her advice and suggestions along the way. This was especially important for my wife and I as we planned the entire wedding while living in a completely different part of the country. In the end, this meant that during the wedding itself, my wife and I were care-free as everything went perfectly as planned. Catering By Design at the College is a well oiled machine--everything was taken care of and we enjoyed the day immensely. The venue at the College was everything we had hoped for. Luckily the weather was perfect so we had our ceremony outdoors. Yet we would not have been worried if it was too hot or if it was raining, as one of the reasons why we chose the College in the first place was because their indoor ceremony space is just as beautiful as their outdoor garden. The ballroom for the reception was grand and made for the perfect setting for our party. As for the food? Amazing. The cocktail hour food was delicious (CBD delivered our food to the bridal suite while our guests enjoyed downstairs). For dinner, we went with three stations: Mashed potato bar, tuscan grille, and a Taco Bar. We were not surprised by how great the food was, as we had gone to a tasting 8 months before the actual wedding date. The cake was super yummy too. Overall, having our wedding at the College with CBD was a great experience, and we are so happy we trusted the staff at the College and at Catering by Design with producing one of the most important event of our lives. They exceeded our already high expectations!

    This has the unusual for people to see. If you are into the human body and deformities this is your kind of museum.

    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!

    The team at College of Physicians is amazing. Michael will make it easy to plan the your event. As a creative partner I find them professional and a pleasure to work with. The garden is spectacular, the event team is great and the food by Catering By Design is wonderful.

👍👍 One of the most beautiful old department store buildings in the country. The 22,000-pipe pipe organ is truly a unique marvel. 45-minute performances at noon and 5:30 Mon - Sat are absolutely ethereal. Seriously worth going out of one’s way to see.
