We have in house bartenders and our catering works to bring in as much option to your bars. Ask your venue coordinator about what personal alcohol options we have.

Yes, the club itself has a small lot with meter parking, there is ample meter street parking per the city guideline and there is a larger lot across the street that is paid by hour. Couples get 4 free parking passes for the club's lot. Couples do have the option to purchase additional spaces in that lot if needed at $15 per spot.

Yes, our facilities are wheelchair accessible. We also have ramps at the main and side entrances, hearing-impaired fire alarm lights, and trained staff.

There is a 20% taxable Administrative Fee is included on all charges, calculated on the total actual charges (included but not limited to: catering, room rental, av, additional rentals, etc.) Current Sales Tax is 7%

We have a partnership with Heinz Memorial Chapel! If you reserve both the chapel for your ceremony and club for your reception, we will waive the ceremony charge from your reception total. Essentially a free Heinz Chapel Ceremony! Additionally, if your guest count is below 70 guests, we are happy to work with you to create a customized proposal for a smaller wedding package! Typically, we can offer these on Fridays during peak season, or on any day during non-peak season! (Non peak season is typically November-March)

While we do include a venue coordinator, we aren’t exactly the same as an outside hired day of coordinator. The biggest difference is that we work for the venue, and a day-of coordinator would work for you. Hiring an outside day-of coordinator is recommend if you have a very detailed, or DIY-heavy, set up, if you have a lot of vendors to organize outside of the regular DJ/Band, Photo/Video, or if you have a lot of moving pieces to your timeline.

Yes, to have ceremony on site at the University Club is a $1,000 room rental.

We appreciate your understanding that nothing may be left behind at the end of your event. It is your responsibility to breakdown and remove all items you’ve brought in, including items provided by a vendor you hired.

We offer a one-hour ceremony rehearsal (if applicable) and personal item drop off time the day before your wedding. The time and location will be determined seven days prior.
