Event Testimonials

Celebration of Life | July 2024

“Dear Joni.  Many thanks for the way you and your staff handled mum’s celebration of her life, luncheon. It reallly was perfect from the room to the flowers to the food. Mum was an elegant, beautiful woman who loved celebrating and often came to the club for lunch or dinner. I was there many time with her. The luncheon really spoke to her essence. I know she was with us in spirit. We will always remember the day, her birthday! She would have been 101! Lee”

Virginia & Behrooz's 5 Star Wedding Wire Review | June 2024

Perfect Venue! We looked long and hard for a venue that wasn’t too big (50 guests) and also worth the price! UGC turned out perfect: food was exceptional, service was solid, and the event manager Joni was priceless! We felt we could ask any question and get responses quickly. Everything was laid out in detail beforehand and carried through on the wedding day. We were able to visit the venue multiple times to get information for our vendors. We were given great attention and care and felt we could really create the day we wanted. The ceremony space is also very lovely! We honestly have no complaints. I would do it again if I could!”

“We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the excellent service and experience we had at the University Golf Club on June 19th. The event ran smoothly, thanks to the professionalism and helpfulness of the staff. The quality of the food exceeded our expectations, and the value for the price was exceptional. We have consistently enjoyed our previous events at this location, and once again, Joni (the Event Coordinator) proved to be incredibly supportive and accommodating. We highly recommend the University Golf Club for any future events. Event survey: 5 out of 5 on planning with Joni, documents, food quality & value, banquet manager/staff, service and overall experience with food menu 4 out of 5.”

Megan, Bride, November 2024

“5 Star Wedding Wire Review: Highly Recommend UGC! I cannot recommend the University Golf Club enough! We had an amazing experience hosting our November wedding reception here, and everything went off seamlessly. With about 130 guests and no planner or day-of coordinator, we were impressed by how smooth and stress-free the entire process was, thanks to the team at UGC. When searching for a venue in Vancouver, UGC stood out as unbeatable in both value and quality. The free parking for guests was also a huge bonus.

We chose the deluxe buffet, and our guests absolutely loved the food. UGC was incredibly accommodating with dietary restrictions, ensuring everyone had not only options but great options.

Joni, the event coordinator, was fantastic to work with. A true professional with a wealth of experience, she guided us confidently through the planning process. We only met with her once, but that meeting was enough to finalize most of the decisions for the event. Joni and her team were organized, flexible, and highly responsive to our last-minute questions and changes. Joni allowed us to set up early, and the staff made clean-up effortless. Every staff member at UGC was wonderful and played a big role in the event’s success.

The venue includes all of the basics so hardly any additional vendors are needed. That said, UGC was more than accommodating when we brought in our photobooth and audio guestbook from Lit Photobooth (https://www.litphotobooth.ca), which added a fun and personal touch to the evening.

If you’re looking for a venue that offers exceptional value, quality, and a truly stress-free experience, UGC is the perfect choice!, Megan & Michel”

Samantha & Brandon's Wedding | March 2024

“5 Star Wedding Wire Review: Amazing Experience. My wife and I held an in town afternoon wedding celebration at the University Golf Club for our son and his bride as a follow up to their Cancun destination wedding. We had about 75 guests. We can’t say enough about the entire experience! We would highly recommend this venue for a wedding celebration. Firstly, Joni, the events coordinator is outstanding! We knew we were in good hands after meeting with her. She knows her stuff! Everything was planned flawlessly with no stones left unturned. The food was exceptional. We chose a dinner buffet option for our lunch. It included appetizers and a cheese platter. We had many compliments from our guests regarding the food. The staff were outstanding! I had young man named Aidon assigned as the point person. He made sure everything ran smoothly and checked with me throughout the afternoon. The staff kept the drinks flowing, served the appetizers and food, and basically kept our guests very happy. The room and tables were setup beautifully. They accommodated a podium and mic for speeches, TV for running wedding pictures, sign in table for guests and an area for a caricaturist to draw pictures of our guests. We also had an open bar that was conveniently located right in the room.

My wife and I are very pleased that we held our celebration here. Everything was perfect! Thank you Joni, Aidon and the rest of the staff for making our son’s wedding celebration a wonderful and memorable experience. Trevor and Sandy”
