Couples Married at the University Club
“We couldn’t have picked a better place to have our wedding.”
The University Club was the most perfect venue for our wedding celebration and every one of our guests commented on how beautiful the rooms were. Everything from set up to dinner service ran so smoothly and professionally and we are so grateful. The groom and I truly sat back and were able to enjoy our wedding day and that is in large part thanks to Sami and her management. She was incredibly patient the several months of planning and happily answered all of our questions big and small. All of our guests were impressed by the space and food. Thank you for everything!
“Highly recommend.”
I have a lifetime history with the University Club of St Paul, so it was an easy choice when considering locations for my recent wedding reception. I really felt very well cared for throughout the planning process. Sami and her team made everything feel easy every step of the way. On the day, they worked hard to keep me, my husband and all of our guests satisfied and happy.
“We will have good memories about the University Club forever.”
My son and daughter-in-law were married here in October 2024. Sami was our coordinator and she was a delight to work with.
The space was stunning and we got much feedback about how beautiful it was. I would recommend this space for a wedding.
"Would definitely recommend!”
We just had our wedding reception here on Saturday! It was so great. The space was amazing and had plenty of little places for people to go. The food was DELICIOUS. I have had people coming to me for days saying how impressed they were with the flavor of the food. Everything was super beautiful. The pictures we got in front of the building were exactly the backdrop I wanted. Additionally, the people we worked with were super helpful, particularly Sami.

The service was top notch, the venue was perfect for the event we wanted, and we received so many compliments from our guests.
