If you are considering the UClub as a wedding site, I suggest you look no further. We paid about 1/3rd of what most weddings cost and we could not have been more pleased. My brother is a chef and he along with our guests kept raving about the food, not to mention the breathtaking site. They even let us bring in our own plants and spruce up the garden in front and in back. The entire place was absolutely transformed with every detail being met. The staff was extremely attentive, and caring, too.

Prior to meeting with Cindy (the UClub wedding coordinator) to establish a timeline and finalize arrangements for the event, my daughter and I were in a tizzy. We had just attended my cousin?s wedding and were overwhelmed with the details we still needed to accomplish. Cindy was there with the answers. We met with her for over three hours and knew that we were in extremely capable hands. She calmed our nerves and reassured us that her expert handling and experience would save the day for us. Boy, was she right!


On the day of the wedding, every detail was handled with expertise. Cindy insisted on perfection and decorated with a keen sense of style, taking the things we gave her to transform the room into what my daughter called a ?magical fairyland?. She kept an eye on the clock so we could just relax. She watched our budget and offered suggestions from her vast experience. Suffice it to say that the wedding never would have been as perfect as it was without her. I received innumerable compliments from my friends and family. The best comment came from the bride herself when she was leaving. She said, ?Thank you, Mom. This wedding was beyond my wildest dreams."

I remain one very happy and proud Mother-of-the-Bride!

My husband went to this University and it meant a lot to him to get married here. We loved it! Everyone was great! I reallyed liked the wedding planner that the UCI Club provides when you book with them....she was great! The only thing I didnt like was that we had the 11am-4pm time slot and the couple who had the 6pm-11pm time slot had their family come and start to set up at about 3:30pm...and my wedding was not yet over. My husband and his father were changing out of their tux's when a few people from the next party just walked right in to start dropping stuff off in the Groom's room! That was the only bad thing...other than that, I thought everything was great!

The University Club was amazing. I could not have asked for a better venue to host my wedding and reception. The outdoor garden area was beautiful, the space for the reception was perfect and the staff could not have been more gracious and helpful.

Further, the value for the cost was unbelievable. I have gone to other weddings recently where the couple paid 3 times as much as my husband and I did and our food and service was better. Everything was perfect!

Catering, wait staff, and wedding planners are professional and courteous. Jacqui and Cindy are knowledgeable, experienced, organized, flexible, and willing to work with your vision for your wedding day. There are lots of delicious menu options for appetizers and entrees, all at a reasonable price. Irvine weather is moderate and beautiful year-round, making the University Club a bright and airy space for outdoor and indoor receptions. We held our cocktail hour outdoors and lunch reception indoors.

My husband and I had our wedding there about a year ago. As we look back on our memories of that evening at the University Club, we are amazed at how beautiful it was. Everything was set up exactly as we wanted it, such as where the 2 bars would be, having my cake placed in a unique location and placement of our sweethart table in a central location. They were very accomidating to our wants and needs above and beyond what we expected. Cindy Lee was exceptional and we were so grateful to have her make our dream wedding come true! The staff was very friendly. The food was delicious! The wait staff service was wonderful! The location was beautiful! We could not have asked for anything better!

OK These people ARE THE BEST.

The UClub's Service is ABOVE and BEYOND wonderful. Also, the UClub is PRIVATE. When we had our wedding, every parkings space, room, and garden was exclusive for my wedding that day. My guests felt comfortable, safe, and accommodated. I could tell that every employee took great pride in caring for the set up of my day. The bartender, servers, cooks, and management, were all kind, professional, and hospitable.

The price is the BEST in TOWN. It included the faciltity, outdoor arrangments, and food and bar!

Each guest was treated like the bride that day. A+++++++++++++++++++

After looking at MANY so cal sites for a wedding, this had everything we could have asked for. It was the PERFECT place for a wedding. The location was private and the garden was beautiful. (we got married about 2 yrs ago now, and there was a litttle bit of construction going on at the time, but I think thats all gone now, and it wasn't even a problem when we were there). We could not have asked for a better location. And the food!!!! Some of the best food you could ask for at wedding!
