Spencer and Erica’s September wedding at was so stylish! has been and will always be one of our fav photographers. The couple chose a family style meal filled with color and tons of flavor, including Green and Greener Gnocchi, Pumpkin Curry, Roasted Veg, and Carrot Salad. Did you notice there’s no meat on the table? Neither did the guests.
Sunset on our last wedding for the season. What a joy this wedding was and what a stunning venue! Huge congrats to this wonderful couple!

Gorgeous garden birthday party at the Hill-Physick House. What a beautiful setting and a fabulous event.
Absolutely loved this entire wedding. The bride looked like she stepped right out of a vintage dream and the whole evening was a beautiful celebration. We wish Allison + Graham all the happiness in the world!
Thanks for an unforgettable weekend ⛈🎪We’ll always remember the last minute location changes, torrential downpours, and dancing with the alumni. 💚
Absolutely gorgeous wedding this weekend celebrating and . No rain could dampen their spirits and joy. It was a pleasure being a part of such a beautiful evening. The mother of the Groom did all the florals. Shes hired immediately.

On a gorgeous fall day, Caitlin and Brady got that autumn color palette just right. 🍂🍠🥀 It’s even more stunning with the white backdrop of the Woodlands Mansion. 🤎
Yesterday was national tequila day, and if you can remember that then you didn't celebrate properly.
We recommend our Blood Orange Paloma: blood orange juice and orange syrup topped with club soda and chili sugar rim
You can imagine how broken our hearts are that we may have missed any inquiries. We have multiple ways of getting touch and it took us too long to realize our form was on the fritz. We truly apologize to anyone who hasn’t heard from us!
Throwback to our supper club on 2017, held at New Century Trust, a 130-year old women’s non-profit that works to improve the educational, economic, and social status of women and girls. It is the oldest continuously running women’s organization in the U.S. still in its original site, an active National Historic Landmark and Philadelphia historic tour destination. We were lucky enough to plan this on International Women’s Day on March 8th, and witnessed a beautiful protest for women’s rights pass right along our front steps. We highlighted only female-owned businesses for this dinner, and are so happy to share these wonderful photos with everyone, courtesy of BG Productions Photography and Videography.

Happy National Noodle Month.
A life without carbs is no life at all. Pasta, & ravioli & gnocchi oh my!!
❤️❤️❤️
Beets layered with goat cheese and herbs, our favorite way to express love this week🥰
National peanut butter day. We cheated a bit and added chocolate to the mix, but does anything go together better than peanut butter and chocolate?
Fun fact. The first recorded recipe for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches was written by Julia Davis Chandler and published in 1901 in the Boston cooking school magazine. Probably short recipe.
Today is national popcorn day! Grab a bucket, trust me you'll want a bucket, of our dill garlic popcorn. We wont judge as you eat it by the shovelfull, we'll be doing the same.

EDITOR'S Choice: We've handpicked the best of the best wedding caterers in Philadelphia, PA to help you pick the right one for your big day.
Today marks the end of Women's History month and we would be remis not to mention and celebrate the leadership and accomplishment of the Owner and CEO of Birchtree Catering, Allegra Derengowski.
Allegra is a self-taught planner and entrepreneur, her focus in business has lead her to be a leader in the Sustainable Business network, aligning all of her passions and business ethics into the core values of Birchtree. She is dedicated to being a champion for local business, sustainable and ethical practices and supporting opportunities for historically underserved parts of the city.
The pandemic has been incredibly hard on small businesses and Allegra had to make the difficult decision for Birchtree to pause operations, putting people's safety before any profit, until we could re-open with confidence. As vaccination programs and eligibility expand, we are hopeful that that vision will be met sooner rather than later. We can not wait to get back to doing what we do best, providing excellent service, incredible food and amazing memories for all our clients and guests.
Thank you Allegra for your leadership during this unprecedented time and we can't wait to move forward!
~From all of us at Birchtree
Birchtree was highlighted in Billy Penn as one of the catering companies that said no to events in 2020. I feel bad for the industry workers who have been put in tricky situations.
“We just couldn’t see a path forward yet where we’re doing events, when literally nothing changes from day to day in terms of health and safety … there are no good decisions here,” said Allegra Deregnowski, owner of North Philly’s Birchtree Catering. “At some point, someone has to take responsibility, and I’ll do it for my company and not put my employees at risk.”

Once alcohol starts flowing, COVID mitigation rules often go out the window, staffers said.
Dear Friends,
Birchtree is coming to a pivotal moment in the life cycle of dealing with health and safety during Covid-19, and I have decided that it is in the best interest of our staff, our future clients, and our business if we pause operations until we can reopen safely and with confidence. Our hope is that 2021 brings us a clearer picture for the future, but until then, we will not be executing any events for the remainder of this year.
We have all intentions of continuing with events come April as long as health and safety are at the forefront of the decision.
Small businesses are hurting now more than ever, so please continue to shop small and local!
