The College of Physicians of Philadelphia — Attraction in Philadelphia

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...

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...

The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, founded in 1787, is the oldest professional medical organization in the country. Twenty-four physicians of eighteenth-century Philadelphia gathered "to advance the science of medicine and to thereby lessen human misery." Today, over 1,500 Fellows (elected members) continue to convene at the College and work towards better serving the public.

Throughout its 200 year history, the College has provided a place for both medical professionals and the general public to learn about medicine as both a science and as an art.

This historic spirit continues in our current mission: advancing the cause of health, while upholding the ideals and heritage...
