Rhubarb Hospitality Collection

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Oak View Group has announced the merger of Rhubarb Hospitality Collection (RHC) and Philadelphia-based Brûlée Catering, combining two industry leaders to transform the culinary and event hospitality landscape in Philadelphia. Effective immediately, the Brûlée brand will be retired as its staff and clients fully integrate into RHC’s expansive global operations.

The partnership marries Brûlée’s 25-year legacy of excellence with RHC’s internationally renowned expertise in premium hospitality. Brûlée’s deep connections to Philadelphia’s historic landmarks and cultural institutions, combined with RHC’s innovative culinary leadership showcased at venues like Historic Royal Palaces and Hudson Yards, will deliver an elevated guest experience and redefine luxury event dining in the region.

“The unification of RHC and Brûlée creates an extraordinary hospitality business that blends decades of local expertise with RHC’s international reputation for excellence,” said Ken Gaber, President of OVG Hospitality. “We’re excited to introduce a fresh, premium approach to Philadelphia’s events, further strengthening our impact in this key market.”

RHC’s arrival in Philadelphia began in 2024 through exclusive partnerships with Ensemble Arts Philly, spanning major venues like The Kimmel Center, Academy of Music, and Miller Theatre. With Brûlée’s distinguished portfolio, which includes some of the city’s most prestigious venues, RHC solidifies its position as a leader in luxury event hospitality both locally and globally.

Katie Harel, Vice President of Marketing at RHC, emphasized the broader vision behind the merger. “Exceptional food and service are at the heart of extraordinary events. By merging Brûlée’s heritage with RHC’s global vision, we are redefining luxury hospitality in Philadelphia—delivering world-class, tailor-made experiences that captivate and inspire.”
