"We hosted our rehearsal dinner at the University Club and had an excellent experience! Alex was amazing to work with, was prompt in responding to all our inquiries, and provided everything we asked for. The venue was beautiful, food outstanding and servers were very professional, accommodating and courteous. I would highly recommend using the University Club!" - John G.
"As members, we love coming for lunch/dinner and special events. We also had the best experience having our wedding reception here. Alex did a fantastic job and was so attentive to every detail. All of our guests loved it. We couldn't have asked for a better day, venue, or event manager." - Chelsea R.
"A dream wedding! I cannot say enough good things about the University Club of Cincinnati, Alex, and her team. From planning to the actual wedding day, everything was flawless. Alex was so wonderful to work with, and I can't thank her enough. She is very helpful and very quick to respond to any emails or calls. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the food and drinks are impeccable. So many people came to my husband and I, and my parents to say that it was hands down the best wedding they had ever been to (and they weren't just being polite). So many people told me to be prepared for at least one thing to go wrong on your wedding day, and I was fully expecting it, but in all honesty, absolutely nothing went wrong. It was flawless. I wish we could do this every year! If you are looking for a place to hold an elegant, upscale wedding with great food, drinks and service, look no further." - Rachel W.
"We have hosted a large scale fundraiser here now twice and both times it has been incredibly easy. Their staff is professional and takes good care of guests, Alex makes coordinating an event so seamless and easy. All that on top of their great food and the beautiful space. Highly recommend!" - Christian G.
"The University Club is my event venue of choice in downtown Cincinnati! I've hosted numerous client events at the University Club and will continue to do so. The staff (shoutout to the events director Alex!) is always professional and attentive. I'd recommend hosting your event at the University Club if you're looking for a reasonably priced, classy location downtown!" - Justin H.
"The UC Real Estate Center utilizes the University Club multiple times throughout the year for small intimate business lunches and larger board of directors meetings. The quality of food, the venue, and the service have been phenomenal each and every time. The Director of Catering & Events, Alex O'Bryan, has continuously made the planning process go seamlessly." - Megan M.
"It has been my honor and pleasure to have worked with Alex over the past 3-4 years. Thanks to Alex and the University Club, my colleagues and I (at the University of Cincinnati) have hosted many successful events. The interior is beautiful, each room with its own charm. The food is delicious, and you can always count on Alex to recommend the seasonal favorites! Many thanks to the UClub team who works with our logistical needs and budgets to pull off an event flawlessly. I highly recommend hosting there!" - Hannah K.
"The staff at University Club always goes above and beyond for their memebers. Recently booked a birthday dinner for my father in their President’s Room and I was pleasantly surprised to show up the a fully decorated room (which I tried to take credit for ☺️)! On top of that we had impeccable service the whole night! Thank you UClub staff!" - Chelsey B.
"We celebrated our daughters' first birthday at the University Club. Alex, Logan and the other members of the University Club team were awesome! The food, service and venue were perfect and our girls and our families had the best time! What sets the University Club apart from other venues is the service. It is just outstanding! Thank you Alex and Logan for making our girls first birthday the BEST!" - Emily P.
"Alex has helped the Alliance Française of Cincinnati plan a number of lovely events – from formal dinners to festive receptions. Each celebration has been flawless. The food is consistently delicious and the service attentive. It is always a worry-free event. I highly recommend booking both your personal and organization’s events here!" - Jennifer S.
"Joined a couple of years ago and have loved every aspect of it. The staff is incredibly professional and helpful. Food is great! And perhaps most beneficial for me is the diverse room selection for various events, as I have hosted a wide range from 100+ person banquet to 1-on-1 private consultations for work." - Evan C.
"We hosted our wedding at the University Club and could have not been more impressed. The effort from Alex and her team in order to make it the best day in the world was amazing! Thank you to the entire staff!" Moira L.
"Alex, I cannot begin to express our appreciation for all of your ( and your team) hard work to make Chelsea and Ryan’s wedding and reception an amazing evening! We have gotten so many complements from family and friends on how wonderful the staff, drinks, appetizers, dinner, and atmosphere that made for a memorable night for all of us! Thank you so much for EVERYTHING!! We are all still on a high from the weekend! We look forward to the next event!" - Nikki U.
"My husband and I are members at the University Club and used one of their event rooms for our bridal shower, rehearsal dinner and another space for our welcome drinks the night before our wedding. Alex was amazing to work with, super responsive, friendly, and helpful! The space was perfect, the staff was professional, and a good time was had by all! If you haven't been to the University Club, it is definitely worth a visit, the rooms are beautiful! Since our wedding, we have also had a surprise birthday party for my father. We will continue to use the space on a go forward basis and love having events there! Can't recommend enough!" - Kelly H from theknot.com
"Dear Alex and Alan, We all were so impressed with you both, your Club and staff. Our every meeting and phone conversation with you before the event was profession, helpful, and gracious. Your suggestions about menu, arrangements, set-up and coordination with our florist, photographer, musicians and DJ were so helpful and always welcome. The event itself was spectacular. The Club looked wonderful; the meal was excellent in every respect; and the staff was supportive, professional and did everything with a smile. We couldn’t have imagined a better event and our guests agreed wholeheartedly in every respect. Thank you for making Saturday such a memorable evening for Lis and Jared and our whole family." - Earl I.
"Dear Alan and Alex - You both, along with your staff, out did yourselves in doing an amazing job Saturday night with Sue’s surprise party. The service and food were impeccable. Alan, the personal attention you gave us in the lobby upon our arrival was a wonderful acting job and perfect in getting Sue up to the second floor for the surprise. I think you’ll agree that by the look on Sue’s face when the elevator door opened left no doubt that she indeed was surprised. I am sorry I did not get a chance to thank you both personally for all of your hard work and extra effort that went into this party. Obviously, a special thanks goes to Alex who had to not only deal with preparing for the party, but also with our many special requests in order to preserve the surprise. Thank you so much Alex! You did everything we asked, and so much more. It was a special night and we all sincerely appreciate both of your efforts on our behalf. I cannot tell you the number of comments from our friends about how special this night turned out to be, thanks largely to you. You two make quite a dynamic duo and our Club is extremely fortunate to have such awesome professionals running the show. My daughter, Lindsey, and I, can hardly wait to plan Sue’s 70th Birthday surprise party in 10 years!" - Greg L.
"WOW, what a great evening, and "THANK YOU" to you, and your marvelous staff at the University Club. I was blown away with how beautiful you made the room look. From the details of the lighted trees, gold linens, tulips and roses, menus with gold print, and the personalized cheese trays and vase, just to name a few of the touches that made our Golden Wedding Anniversary Dinner so special, and truly memorable. I appreciate everything so very much. Chris, Alex, Nick, Courtney and Linda, were wonderful to work with, and gracious taking care of all the needs or requests from our guests. And of course, what would the evening have been without the delicious and beautifully presented food created and prepared by Chef Frederic. What a good sport he was to work with Don on his jalapeño pepper jelly bar. I am so proud to be a member of the University Club. And as my granddaughter said when she first saw the room..." It is magical." THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU." - Linda S.
"Alex - Terry and I wanted to thank you so much for making Mark and Jill's rehearsal dinner such a beautiful memory for all who attended. As I have said before, you always make sure we have a relaxed, enjoyable evening with our guests. Meanwhile you work with ease at your various tasks of orchestrating all that goes on - from setting up the rooms, picking out the flower arrangements (so beautiful!), working with your chefs and servers to make the food and drinks a delicious treat, and last but not least, running the slideshow! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts - you are the best!!! Have a great rest of the weekend!" - Patsy V.
"Alan, I know I told you verbally & now we want you to see in writing how thrilled we were with the entire presentation this past Sat. night for our son's wedding. Starting with you, then Alex, everything had a Ritz Carlton flare to it. As I mentioned, I couldn't believe Alex had that back up battery for the Microphone. We want your excellent service to be reflected in the gratuity as well. We would like the entire bill to be $$. By my account that would be $$ additional in gratuity added to the $$ and hope much of the staff receives as well. In addition to the leadership from you and Alex, we also wanted to note the special help from Adrian and "Charlotte"......I hope I have her name right. You & your team are a class act and a key to the rebound of downtown." – Dave M.
