About
The University Club is dedicated to creating unique ceremonies and receptions. Planning a wedding can quickly become an overwhelming and intense full-time job. Let us ease the burden; from your first consultation to your tasting all the way to your wedding day, the University Club is committed to making your dream wedding a reality.
Facilities and Capacity Details
With the gorgeous aerial views of Durham, the University Club is a beautiful place for a wedding ceremony. It has multiple event rooms and a swanky, newly-renovated bar. That means it is conducive to smaller Durham wedding events such as bridal showers and rehearsal dinners. But it is also a great space for a large wedding. Up to 200 guests can take over the entire club and move throughout the space during the event.
Our venue offers a unique and elegant touch to any ceremony and reception. As Durham’s tallest building, our stunning views do not disappoint.
Let our upscale environment and experienced staff make your wedding day an unforgettable experience.

a year agoWhat an A-MAZING place to celebrate with friends and family! The meal service was very nice (no long wait serving around 50 people). The food was excellent, Braised Short Ribs, Salmon with tasty Pesto based sauce, red velvet cake, salad, and rolls. The room setting was nice and spaced perfectly for seating and walking around the room. Also, it was an excellent space for dancing once the tables were moved to the perimeter. The views over the city of Durham from the tower are exquisite and show the growth in the city. I lived in the city for 13 years and several years only 5 minutes away and never had the experience. If I lived here now, I would definitely have a membership. I highly recommend this location for dinner, meetings, and events!

a month agoI truly enjoyed hosting my dinner at the University Club, and my guests were equally impressed. From start to finish, the evening felt seamless and elegant, with thoughtful touches that made it stress-free. I’m excited to take part in the future events and experiences that membership offers. Special thanks to Kelly and Jessica for their outstanding hospitality. 🌹

5 years agoWe have photographed two weddings here, a bit different from each other, but very excellently executed both times. Jessica & her team manage setup, the overall look of an event, and the flow of guest activity without a hitch. Having separate spaces for each section of a wedding reception—cocktails at the bar, the dining room for dinner, a dance floor—creates an upscale event feel and flow. The food has always been excellent, staff helpful and courteous. Plus, nowhere else in Durham can beat those views! Highly recommend!
