“Fleisher was the perfect space to hold our launch party last summer. The Sanctuary is beautiful, dramatic, and doesn’t need much in the way of decor, plus it’s affordable, which can be hard to find in Philadelphia. Since our launch, we’ve catered plenty of weddings and cocktail parties here. We always recommend Fleisher to our clients!”- Allegra Fasnacht, Birchtree Catering, Owner/Event Coordinator
