    Amazing Vendor!

    Having our wedding reception at University Club was one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding! Our experience with Jessica was phenomenal! Jessica truly made wedding planning stress-free. Her attention to detail and willingness to take on the leading responsibility on the wedding day allowed us to fully enjoy our day. Jessica was very accommodating and truly listened our need to create the best celebration we could ask for. We found Jessica to be incredibly attentive, energetic, friendly, and extremely organized. She worked well with our other wedding vendors to ensure smooth progression of the day. Highly recommend University Club with such an amazing view, exceptional service, and top notch dining experience. Jessica, we cannot thank you enough for all your time and effort into making our special day. You are AWESOME!!

    We hosted our rehearsal dinner here. Since the larger banquet room was not being used they actually upgraded us to that room for the same price as the smaller room. It's a pretty inclusive venue and not much needed to be brought in. The food and service was excellent. The pricing was very reasonable. Very easy and straight forward to work with,

    We recently hosted our wedding reception at University Club - and the experience was 100% positive one from start to finish. Amanda (the event coordinator) walked us through every step, giving us plenty of flexibility while also offering guidance in making decisions in perfect measure. She and her staff did almost all the decorating - The food was great, the space intimate and perfect for our wedding of ~100. thank you very much for hosting us! (and to top it all off, this was one of the most affordable places we found in Durham to host a reception)

    We booked the University Club for our wedding reception of about 100 guests on April 25th. From the very beginning, they were more helpful, responsive, and wonderful than I ever would have expected. We originally booked for May 23rd, but when our ceremony venue contacted us and let us know they were closing for renovations starting in May of 2015, we had to switch to April 25th. They University Club was very flexible and more than willing to switch the date, since they were still available.

    Having a designated event coordinator to discuss details with made it so that we didn't even need to have a wedding planner or day of coordinator. Melissa and the University Club staff handled everything for the reception! We met with her several times before the wedding and communicated via e-mail to discuss our vision so she knew exactly what we wanted, and then dropped off our decorations a couple days prior to the event. She coordinated with our other vendors (DJ, florist, etc.) for drop off times and the University Club staff set everything up for us so we didn't have to worry about a thing. It was EXACTLY what we had envisioned. It's such a beautiful venue, it didn't need much in the way of decorations to make it the epitome of elegance, but turned out better than we imagined!

    We rented out the whole floor so that we would have plenty of room for all of our guests and the dance floor. We had dinner in the main dining room and dancing in the Franklin room next to the bar. Many people, us included, were a little skeptical of how the flow would work having to switch rooms, but afterwards everyone commented on how much they liked the flow of our reception and that it was something they'd never seen before, but that it worked perfectly! The food is also PHENOMENAL -- almost everyone devoured everything on their plate -- and VERY, VERY reasonably priced.

    I could not recommend them more highly. It was really the wedding of our dreams!

    While I can't speak to how easy it was to work with this venue or the value of services rendered (my in-laws planned and paid for our rehearsal dinner), I can say I was impressed! The venue was beautiful, had amazing views, and the food was delicious! I had never been to the University Club until my rehearsal dinner and my groom and I (as well as everyone else I'm pretty sure) were impressed. Service was excellent, the venue was unique, fun, and beautiful, and they allowed my in-laws to decorate how they wished. It was simply lovely, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had my rehearsal dinner here. My in laws haven't given details, but told me their experience planning the rehearsal dinner was pleasant and easy. I would absolutely recommend this venue to any bride! I also know a few other co-workers who have had their wedding receptions here (in the last year), and they both enthusiastically recommended the venue to me when I asked them about it.

    The University Club was a fantastic place for our wedding reception. We had trouble finding a good reception site in Durham that could hold 250 guests and still have dancing AND fit into our budget. The University Club was large enough to hold all of our guests, and its design made even our large crowd feel like an intimate setting. It was also such a beautiful place that we needed very little decorating, the few decorations that we did need to be set up, we dropped off at the club a few days before, and they took care of the setup (and clean up after the reception). The University Club took care of all the details in such a professional way that we had very little to worry about.

    The University Club also took care of all of our catering. The food was delicious - so many of our guests commented on the Shrimp and Grits and Chicken Roulade dishes.

    Overall, we highly recommend the University Club! They were great to work with.
