The College of Physicians of Philadelphia is the cure for the common wedding reception.

The College is a National Historic Landmark Beaux Arts building, with a grand marble rotunda and sweeping staircase leading to a magnificent ballroom. Whether you hold only your reception or include your ceremony, our grand spaces are ready to welcome your guests with your unique style. If you choose, treat your guests to a docent-guided tour of the Museum.

Choose among 8 unique indoor and outdoor event spaces including:

Medicinal Herb and Butterfly Garden:

• On a beautiful day, guests can enjoy hors-d'oeuvres and cocktails while strolling through our stunning, expansive Medicinal Herb and Butterfly Garden while a sumptuous dinner awaits your guests in Mitchell Hall.
• This private oasis features four formal beds, or parterres, consisting of medicinal herbs and plants, many of which were used in Dr. Benjamin Rush’s time and are still used today.
• Guests may stroll the slate and pebble walkways or sit on garden benches in this tranquil setting. Weddings and receptions will be stunning, as the garden’s blooming cycles carry from spring until fall.

Ashhurst Library

•  As the festivities continue, Ashhurst Library provides guests with a comfortable lounge atmosphere for coffee and dessert.

Mitchell Hall

• Imagine 30-foot soaring ceilings and grand glass windows for natural lighting, Mitchell Hall is the largest space adjacent to Ashhurst Library. It creates a flow between the two rooms.
