Our daughter just got married and held the reception at the Denver University Club. They catered the entire dinner and all the drinks and we could not have been happier; the food, service and especially the price were very good. The venue is beautiful very elegant. I cannot say enough nice things about Molly Kerns and the entire University Club staff; everyone was extremely flexible, very helpful, and my daughter was extremely happy with her wedding reception.

It has been a great experience working with The University Club of Denver. As soon as my fiancé and I walked in, we knew this was the place our reception would be. I love the history and natural ambiance of the building. Molly has been great to work with and has been a great help in keeping everything organized. It is such an amazing venue and VALUE for being in downtown Denver.

The University Club was the venue for our dream wedding reception and our experience with the staff couldn't have been better. We loved that the venue provides so many things in one place and one price - food/drink, (basic) setup/take down, event coordinator, day of event coordination, flatware/dishes, and (basic) linens. The entire planning process with Molly, their amazing event coordinator, was very easy. She was extremely organized and her email communication was clear and concise. Molly happily acommodated our special requests (i.e. dietary requests, special set up instructions, etc..) and provided excellent recommendations for the timing and flow of our reception events. We went into our reception without any worries because of the detailed planning that had occurred well ahead of time. The event flowed exactly as we had planned. We couldn't have had a better experience with the University Club! It was a beautiful venue that exceeded all of our expectations.

We could not be more pleased with our choice of venue!! This place is a great value for everything they include in their service, it's a venue that includes ceremony, reception, coordinator and catering!! They have an in-house day-of coordinator named Molly who is completely amazing. She's experienced and very calming during tricky moments. The catering is included in most packages and let me just say, the food is to die for! I cannot say enough amazing things about this venue. Every single guest said it was the most fun and best looking wedding they'd ever attended. We had drinkers and people who are adverse to drinking, smokers and people extremely adverse to smoking; the set up in this place accommodated everyone seamlessly and no one was bothered by anything. A great time was had by all. Thanks again to Molly, we will recommend this to everyone we know.

Molly was a dream to work with! The University Club provided such an elegant evening for our fantasy wedding! I'm a terrible planner and Molly walked me through everything, gave me plenty of time to make decisions, made suggestions to better my event, gave recommendations on vendors (which were also fantastic!) and accommodated every request we made without hesitation! The venue provided alternative meals for our guests that had specific dietary needs (due to allergies) without us even asking. Sean was at the event all night, coming to check on us constantly and making sure everything was going well. I would definitely recommend The University Club to anyone who wants an elegant wedding with little stress!!!!

The University Club was the perfect setting for our reception. Loved the character and ambiance of the setting. Molly was the onsite coordinator/planner and was wonderful to work with; the University Club was very flexible with our requests/timeline for wedding. Excellent food, beverage, service.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
