The University Club Atop Symphony Towers

in their head, they'll have an amazing day. We can say with absolute certainty that The University Club lived up to and blew away every expectation we had for our reception venue. The views are truly unmatched and give a unique panoramic, skyline view of San Diego that no other venue can offer. However, it's not just the view that makes this venue, the service is also in a tier of its own. The event coordinator, Claire Somers, is a true professional and went out of her way to meet all of our needs. She provided timely feedback to all of our questions and helped create the perfect layout for our guests' seating and our décor for our cocktail hour and reception. The food is top notch and the staff is incredibly friendly and did an amazing job of attending to our guests and making sure everyone's glasses were full! We truly had the best day and it wouldn't have been possible had it not been for the The University Club!

deal for our open bar. We would highly recommend the University Club if you’re looking for a metropolitan and glamorous feel to your wedding (we did an Art Deco theme). Day or night, this venue is beautiful.

nd family. We wanted everyone to have a reason to "dress to the nines" on a Saturday night. When I say non-traditional, I mean we did not want a sit down dinner, we did not want assigned seating and we wanted to the ceremony to be very quick and to the point. The University Club was able to accommodate all of our wishes. We worked with Ed and he was absolutely the BEST! He knows what he's doing and he was so easy to talk with. Our wedding was on a Saturday. We ended up hosting a cocktail hour at the bar from 4-5pm because the bar isn't open to members until 5pm. Therefore, we had the bar to ourselves for that our. Then we had the ceremony and reception in the main ballroom. The view from the whole venue is ridiculously amazing & most of our guests had never been to the Club. Our guest list was approximately 135 and we had the room set up for sitting and standing during the ceremony. The room was full, yet there was plenty of room for people to move around and be comfortable. Instead of having a sit-down dinner, we had hors d'oeuvres trays passed around, as well as two different stations and a variety of hor d'oevres near the stations. There was plenty of food and it was all amazing! We left the stations open for a bit, as well as the hor d'oevres, because we wanted our guests to be able to eat/snack through out the night. Another perk to the Club is that all of the food is freshly prepared & made on sight, which is one less to thing to worry about possibly going wrong. The bar set up was perfect! There was no long, annoying line to get a drink, which was huge because all of our guests were pretty heavy drinkers. We didn't want our guests spending their night trying to get a drink. The whole night went as planned, surprisingly : ) I know it went as planned, because Ed and the Club as a whole are total pros. I can't say enough good things about this venue. If you're looking for an indoor, classy venue with an amazing view of all of San Diego, this is your place! Trust me, especially for your out-of-town guests, they'll be impressed with the University Club!

sts for a sit-down meal, but I wouldn't recommend more than 150 otherwise it may start to feel very packed. Ed is in charge of organizing events and was a true pleasure to work with. From my many questions during the planning process, our meetings, accommodating our special requests, providing input, he was always patient, friendly, and helpful. AJ and his staff took over after Ed made sure everything was set up the day of. They made sure our head table was always taken care of and were super attentive! Our entire bridal table was treated like VIP. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue! Our guests raved about the breathtaking views and delicious meal.
