For the bride: envision beginning your wedding day with a mimosas and appetizers with your bridal party in their private Bride’s dressing room.
For the groom: meet up with the groomsmen in their Billiard & Game Room, take in a game of pool and enjoy a special beer and cigar while preparing tuxedoes for your big day.
The University Club is located next to beautiful Alice Keck Park Gardens, and within walking distance of the majestic Santa Barbara County Courthouse and numerous ceremony locations, hotels and restaurants. In addition to your reception, you may even choose to have all your wedding events at the Club: rehearsal dinner, ceremony and next-day brunch.
The University Club invites you to join our tradition of over 90 years of elegant private events for both members and a select number of non-members. The University Club is the premiere downtown Santa Barbara location, and they extend to you all the hospitality and personal service you expect from a private Club. As a full service venue, they take care of all food, beverage, set-up and staffing … leaving you to enjoy the event.
The University Club has the look and feel of a large, elegant residence. Whether your group size is 30 people or 300, you and your guests will receive exceptional personalized attention.
You may choose from their extensive menu of fine dining selections, or the Executive Chef can design a unique menu for your event. The Club’s wine specialist can pair the perfect wine to compliment your culinary experience, and their Event’s Manager will oversee all planning details to ensure a memorable event.

As soon as I met with Sarah I knew we were going to have an amazing time working together. Not only is she a super fun person, her wedding style was right up my alley! Vintage 1920′s, minus the flapper. Sarah said she didn’t want her guests to think they had to show up wearing derby hats, which I loved. In essence, capture the era, minus the fashion. Sarah’s colors were cream, dark eggplant and shades of grey with hints of silver…
The invitation itself was silver foiled, which looked so amazing on the charcoal paper we used. The map was hand drawn by Sarah’s aunt! Stunning with such amazing details!
The image on Sarah’s reply card, was an actual vintage photo taken at one of Santa Barbara’s beautiful beaches.
Custom stamps completed the look of this glamorous invitation suite. In addition to the invitation, I also designed table numbers, menus, thank you notes, and bridesmaid invitations for Sarah.
