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!

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!

Magical night of our life
Absolutely stunning wedding venue! The ambiance was enchanting, the staff incredibly attentive, and every detail was flawlessly executed. The outdoor ceremony site was so beautifully maintained, and dreamy. The food was delicious, we got so many compliments!
Big thank you to Joni, she is an exceptional wedding coordinator. A true professional who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Highly recommend!
Our special day was nothing short of magical thanks to this exceptional venue, Joni, and all the staff!

Dreamy wedding venue!
We had an incredible experience getting married at UGC. We were looking for somewhere surrounded by big majestic trees, and ideally some water - UGC's gazebo area with the quaint little creek babbling around it was idyllic! Joni let us take pictures on the first tee at sunset and they came out stunning - captured the natural, green, whimsical vibe perfectly.
Despite the golf course not being closed to the public, the whole wedding ceremony and reception still felt very private.
Working with Joni during the planning phase was smooth and easy, and on the day-of, Diksha and Justin worked seamlessly with our coordinator to make the day (and night) go smoothly without a single obstacle. The food was DELECTABLE - we weren't able to do a tasting ahead of time so we were a little bit worried that we didn't know what the quality would be like -but have no fear, the banquet chef is phenomenal (very different from the food in the pub at the clubhouse). Our guests still talk about how good it was (and a year later, the groom still talks about the scalloped potatoes!).
If you want a peaceful, natural setting for a ceremony and a fun, delicious, and majestic reception, UGC will certainly deliver! 10/10 would recommend.

Beyond expectations
We had a 5 stars experience while planning and hosting our wedding at UGC. We value the flexibility and willigness to attend our specific needs. The attention to details was remarkable and their garden is just stunning. High Quality food and a beautiful environment for a reasonable price. We had a first booking experience with another vendor for our wedding and during that planning process we felt tense because of the many demands of the venue. At UGC we had a totally different experience. We felt the support of the staff to create our special day just as we wanted, and working side by side with us to overcome the challenges of covid and weather. Thanks for providing an excellent events/banquet service with a high sense of empathy and sensitivity.

Beautiful venue & Amazing Service
We are very pleased to have our reception at UGC! We had a church wedding but we rented the gazebo to have our cocktail hour where guests can enjoy some acoustic music and rented some fun lawn games ! Joni, the wedding coordinator, is very accommodating and professional! She answered all our inquiries and made sure that everything is set up on the actual wedding day! The venue is soo beautiful and guests are raving how great the food is! Thank you so much Joni !

Unbelievably Amazing
Joni & the whole team are absolutely amazing! We had the best experience getting to our day and on our wedding day everything went so smoothly! The food is 10/10 - I have guest still talking about the food! My husband and I are so thankful we found Joni and chose this venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
