University Club San Diego

aditional, elegant, classy, and timeless party for our friends and 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!

t 140 guests. The info packet says they can accommodate 175 guests 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.
