We recently got married at the Michener Art Museum in Doylestown with Catering by Design as our caterer. Kelly was a dream to work with! She worked hard to make sure every detail was perfect for our big day. We decided to go with a cocktail-style reception, and it was a huge hit with our guests. Tons of great food to try and the bartenders were excellent! If you're looking for a caterer in the Bucks County/Philadelphia area, I highly recommend CBD.

I got married in May 2024 at the Michener Art Museum and had a wonderful experience working with Catering By Design Event Specialist, Kelly, and the CBD staff. Kelly was amazing, to say the least. From our first visit to the Michener all the way through our wedding day, Kelly was with us every step of the way. She was knowledgeable, accommodating, patient, professional, and a pleasure to work with. It was clear that she put the client first and truly cared about our experience and making our dream wedding a reality. I was also so impressed by the CBD food and staff. We got so many compliments on the food. The presentation was artful, the flavors were seasonal and delicious, the selection was impressive, and the team was attentive and pleasant. All around, they are a great company with fantastic employees. I would highly recommended working with them!

We had a fantastic experience working with Catering By Design for a recent reception at ONE North Broad. Helene and her staff were kind, helpful, and made the planning seamless. Plus, the food was delicious and there was never a shortage of food available for guests. I highly recommend CBD! Thank you!

Wow, just wow. Catering by Design and Michael Mitloff truly made our wedding dreams come true! From the very beginning, we knew we were in good hands. When Michael first showed us the venue at the College of Physicians and explained how CBD works, we had complete confidence that our wedding day would be everything we'd envisioned - and it was. Throughout the entire planning process, Michael and his team went above and beyond to make our lives easier. From helping us to select the perfect menu to coordinating every last detail, they were there every step of the way. On the day of the wedding, we were absolutely blown away by how seamlessly everything came together. Michael and his team set up the venue and made it even more beautiful than we could have imagined. The service was impeccable - friendly and professional. And let's talk about the food - where do I even begin? It was nothing short of incredible. Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was, and I have to agree - I've never had wedding food taste this good!! At the end of the night, Michael and his team took care of the tear down, which was unexpected and made our lives so much easier. Every single thing went off without a hitch, and our wedding day was perfect in every way. I cannot stress this enough-it was truly seamless and absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Michael Mitloff and the entire Catering By Design team, for exceeding our expectations and making our wedding day absolutely unforgettable!!!

Catering by Design was the caterer for our wedding 2 weeks ago. The food was amazing and the service was top notch! Everyone I worked with was friendly and helpful and our guests had lots of positive things to say about the items that our contact Helene helped us pick. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer for a big event!

When beginning our wedding planning, we knew that catering was our #1 priority. After some research, it was clear that Catering By Design (CBD) was the #1 caterer in the Philly area, and was who we wanted to go with. We had fun reviewing the unique venues CBD services, we visited the Michener Art Museum and decided it was a great fit for us as a queer and transgender couple.Kelly Cloonan was the Event Specialist assigned to our event, and from our first email interaction to the end of our wedding last Saturday was an absolute joy to work with. Kelly was kind, detail-oriented, responsive, transparent, respectful of our LGBTQ+ life and Jewish customs, and caring of our event on a level that surpasses a typical vendor/client relationship. While we did not have a wedding planner and the design was our own, Kelly in MANY ways stepped in and gave us the attention and time that we feel a planner would've given us. Kelly would respond to our (many) emails within 24 hours and even gave us her cell phone number for quick questions and day-of needs. She helped us build a catering menu that suited our needs and met our budget. We wanted to do four signature cocktails named after our four dogs and she helped make sure that the bar staff was fully prepared, having some pre-made leading into cocktail hour. Guests told us that this and keeping the two bars open all night helped ensure there were nearly zero lines all night which is a HUGE deal at 100+ person events. Kelly ensured us that the staff were informed of our guests dietary needs. She allowed us to hang gender neutral bathroom signs to make sure we and our guests felt comfortable. She seamlessly ensured all of our rentals, decor and vendors were set-up. In the middle of our event we were running low on gin, vodka and white wine and Peter the President of CBD ran out to get us more so our guests never knew a thing.We could go on and on -- but please know that Catering By Design has an incredible team including Kelly Cloonan, which made it easy for our wedding day to not only go to plan, but to exceed our expectations and impress our guests with the food and service. Catering By Design played an integral role in the best day of our life, and undoubtedly will give your special occasion the care and attention you deserve to make it incredibly memorable.

The CBD team was amazing to work with and made our recent educational event at the Mutter Museum a huge success. Caitlin was so thoughtful, helpful, and patient with us as our event details came together. I strongly recommend them for any event, and hope to work together again soon.

BEST. WEDDING. EVER. A "great" rating is not enough to say how happy we were with everything at our wedding. We worked with CBD, specifically Kelly, for our wedding at the Michener Art Museum in Doylestown. We can't stop raving about the night. First off, Kelly is INCREDIBLE. We genuinely would have been lost without her. She is patient, organized, and always willing to help. She was more of a wedding planner than a venue coordinator. I don't know how she does it! I would use CBD for another event just to get the opportunity to work with Kelly again. My husband and I cannot say enough positive things about her - thank you for everything, Kelly! You are amazing! Second, everything CBD provided was fantastic. From the food to the staff - all of it was just wonderful. We had numerous guests tell us how impressed they were with our hors d'oeuvres and entrees. The pork belly appetizer was awesome and people were still talking about our dumpling station the next day. We loved our entrees too! I wish there was a way I could order them again because they were delicious. The waitstaff and bartenders provided by CBD were also fantastic. Everyone was polite and willing to accommodate us - they really helped to make the night run as smoothly as possible. They were all professional and lovely. We hope they had a good time with us! Finally, our venue was simply gorgeous. We loved it from the second we saw it on our tour with Kelly. It was different from all the other weddings we've been to and many of our friends and family were very impressed. Our guests couldn't stop telling us how great the venue was throughout the night. We agree! It is a hidden gem that we got lucky more people did not know about. Plus, it is affordable! My husband and I still can't get over just how reasonable everything at CBD was especially for the quality of food and service we received. With a large event like this, often something goes wrong at the last minute that send things into a tailspin. My husband and I remarked at the end of the night that not a single thing went wrong with our wedding day. I feel a huge part of that is thanks to Kelly and the rest of the CBD staff. Thank you all so much for your hard work and help so that we could have the best day ever! You guys are the best!

Catering By Design was AMAZING for our wedding! We got married at the Michener Museum in Doylestown, where they are the contracted catering and coordination. I'm so glad we decided to go with them! Not only is the venue beautiful, but Kelly C. was an incredible coordinator. She took care of every detail and anticipated every need. We ran out of alcohol mid-event and her team ran out for more so our guests never knew and the drinks never stopped.The food was so good -- everything was fresh, well-seasoned and prepared, and looked beautiful. We did stationary and passed apps for cocktail hour and had two dinner stations for our main meal. A month later and our family and friends are still raving about the food and ambiance of our wedding.Thank you, Kelly and CBD, for helping to make our dream wedding exactly how we envisioned it and executed without a hitch. If you're between caterers or unsure of who to choose for your wedding or event, I cannot recommend CBD enough! We will absolutely use them again for future events and parties in our family.
