When my husband and I got engaged, our number one priority was to throw a huge party where our guests could enjoy themselves and help us celebrate our marriage with good food, better drinks and a great space for dancing. Finley Catering and the Crystal Tea Room was our first decision in that planning process, and undoubtedly the right one! We had over 250 guests at our March 2024 wedding and we are still hearing all about how it was one of the best weddings our guests have ever attended! From our initial meeting with Michelle, to wrapping up final details with Miguel and having Salima by our side during the evening for quite literally whatever we needed… We truly couldn’t be happier with our venue selection. Michelle and Miguel were so kind, communicative, patient and understanding… My husband and I felt like we were their old friends. In fact, all staff were top-notch and no detail was left out. The moment we walked into cocktail hour, all of my anxieties about the night vanished and I was able to relax knowing we were in great hands. Everything happens for a reason, and choosing Finley Catering and CTR was nothing short of the perfect choice!

I could not recommend Finley Catering and the Crystal Tea Room more for your wedding venue and catering needs! We had the literally the best wedding ever and the most AMAZING night and everything went smoothly thanks to their exceptional service. The team at the Crystal Tea Room went above and beyond to make our reception so special, and our guests continue to compliment us and rave about the venue and food.

Michelle was a dream to work with and was a big factor in our decision to book the Crystal Tea Room. She was so on top of everything, detail-oriented, and a fast communicator. She made us feel very confident that our day would go smoothly, and the team delivered. The Center City location is unbeatable, with lots of hotel options and ceremony spaces nearby. Not to mention the beautiful ballroom which has such a classic feel and an old city vibe.

Special shoutouts to Miguel, Mike, and Salima, who took care of us and our families from start to finish and provided exceptional service. All of the staff was incredibly professional, and the food and atmosphere were amazing. If you're looking for a venue that will provide outstanding service and leave you and your guests raving, look no further than the Crystal Tea Room!

Hands down one of the best decisions we made during the entire wedding planning process was choosing Finley Catering and the Crystal Tea Room for our venue. Michelle and her team were amazing and our guests continue to rave about everything from the ambiance to the mountains of delicious food and variety of options. It is very hard to find a venue that is both breathtaking and can accommodate hundreds of guests but the Crystal Tea Room provided just that! Planning a wedding in a city hundreds of miles away from where you live is tough but Michelle, Miguel, and the entire Finley Catering team answered every question along the way and helped bring our vision to life with attention to every detail (dance floor, ice sculpture, signature drinks etc.). We are so thankful for Finley Catering, the Crystal Tea Room and Michelle for their help making our wedding day truly special. They really are simply the best!
