Best wedding venue ever!
The planning group at University Club helped guide us every step of the way. Every meeting we had with them was very professional, and they reminded us of what we needed to do (i.e. contact recommended florist, cake, photographer, hair & makeup). We went with a few of the recommended vendors and also found our own hair/makeup and photographer. Overall there was very little stress with planning for our wedding because it felt like University Club had most of it planned for us (i.e. the food, the DJ/MC, the ceremony officiant, etc.). I reached out to the planning team via text and email and they were always very prompt to reply.
Some time in July there was an “extravaganza” where a lot of different partner vendors were there and the venue was all decked out with decor and different food samples. This event gave us an idea of what our wedding would look like and we even won a raffle for the love sign on our wedding day!
There were so many delicious food options. Our guests told us that they have never seen so many salads at a wedding and that our wedding was one of the healthiest weddings they’ve ever been to!
On our wedding day, Lydia was our day of coordinator and she was on top of everything. Whenever I needed to find her, she would show up and it was super easy to communicate with her. She walked through all the details with us during the rehearsal and set up everything for us on the wedding day prior to our arrival. Honestly there was nothing we had to stress or think about, everything was taken care of. After Lydia left, Carlos was our banquet captain. He helped us pack up all our items back into the boxes we brought them in the day before and wheeled it out to our car for us. University Club also packed some goodies for us to take home and that was a fun surprise for us when we got home!
I would 100% recommend University Club to any couple wanting a stress-free wedding. University Club is literally the whole package (and more)!
They were great and our daughter’s wedding was a grand success.
