Our wedding took place on March 4th. A major selling point for us is the spectacular views. Given that I have several restaurant owners in my family, the quality of the meals was also a concern. We expressed this when we visited and were assured immediately that the chef would work with us to meet our expectations. I can honestly say that they more than exceeded our expectations. Our guests told us this was the best “wedding food” they’d ever had. Claire, Janissa, and the rest of the staff were nothing short of amazing. They were attentive, had great ideas to help us execute our vision, and were just an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the process. I cannot say enough about how amazing they were in making wedding plan easy! The University Club is simply the best!

Every wedding couple creates an almost unattainable vision of their wedding reception. After all of the planning and decision making, I think most couples would say that as long as their venue looks 85% as good as this crazy image they've built 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!

Cheryl was wonderful to work with and did her best to find discounts where she could to make the venue work for us. It was still out of our budget, unfortunately, so we did not book there, but we really appreciated her efforts and flexibility!

The venue was absolutely gorgeous, the staff was stellar, and Kristi was big help planning our wedding. It was nice because the view was so stunning that we didn’t need a lot of decorations. The food was also great and the drink packages were ideal 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.

We were really blown away by the service at the club. Allison and her team are EXPERTS and they were happy to answer every one of our emails and phone calls (and there were a lot). Have your wedding here for the commitment to service, the unmatched view of the city and exceptional food (your guests will be happy).

The University Club was the perfect place for our wedding and it ended up being everything we thought and hoped it would be! My now husband and I wanted our wedding to be a non-traditional, 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!

I don't have a membership here, but I did have my wedding reception at the University Club back in January (they allow a certain number of non-member events per year). We had about 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.
