COVID-friendly venue

Absolutely recommend if someone is considering a COVID-friendly intimate wedding. We decided to have a small wedding of 40 people and they were able to accommodate both ceremony and reception at their patio space. Depending on the seating arrangement, they host up to 50 for reception outside. Jonathan the event coordinator had so much experience and was very professional and knowledgeable in coordinating weddings. The quality of the service and food overall was excellent.

A Hidden Gem!

I got married in November 2019 and everything went so perfectly! The University Club is a beautiful venue for both the ceremony and reception. The outside patio was perfect for a ceremony on a 90-degree day, it was so comfortable even in the heat. Working with The University Club team was seamless from the beginning, they were so accommodating and easy to communicate with. It is a perfect venue for large weddings!

I couldn't have asked for better place for the reception. The site itself gives a lovely sense of charm and character. There are separate areas for ceremony,cocktails,greeting hall and reception. The bride and groom each get their own space. The staff was very curtious and polite throughout the entire planning process til the wedding was over. They allowed any vendor I wanted and referred some very great vendors. The Event Coordinator worked with us on everything, from handling our rental needs for chairs, tables and special lighting to arranging the furniture for us the exact way we asked. The catering staff was very professional and food flowed from the kitchen very timely, not to mention how great it tasted. I will be going back for my next large event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
