  An Art Deco inspired beauty built in the grips of the Great Depression. It's a testament to the optimistic American future. Today it has comfortable seating areas, a cafeteria, and meeting rooms (I was attending a meeting here). My student days are long gone, having already learned everything, but I still loved the place. The facilities we're great, including good free WiFi, the staff was courteous and responsive.

  My new husband and I were thrilled with the U of M Campus Club as our venue and caterer. Their level of service and professionalism was phenomenal -- they basically do everything for you which makes set-up and tear-down extremely easy! This was the only venue we toured and knew we wanted to book it right away because of their amazing floor-to-ceiling windows displaying a gorgeous skyline of Minneapolis! And the food -- incredible! We loved that everything was organic and local. Best of all, they were one of the most affordable venues! We highly recommend this venue!

  We had our wedding at the Campus Club last weekend, and I must say it was a success with many thanks to the staff there! We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at this location, which made it easier for out of town guests so they would not have to move once they arrived. Jenn, our coordinator, was so helpful with the details and made sure we were taken care of from the moment we booked this venue. Everything was flawlessly and all of our guests loved the gorgeous view from the terrace and the bar room for conversation throughout the wedding as well. In addition, the food was absolutely amazing. It tasted great at our tasting but honestly it blew us away at the reception. I highly recommend this gorgeous venue along with the great staff that will make sure you're set for the big day! Thank you to the Campus Club!

  We had our wedding at the Campus Club in early May and we were so happy with it, we wanted to do it all over again. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception at the Campus Club. We worked primarily with Jenn but I think I probably spoke, emailed, or met every person there at some point because they were all so helpful. Jenn was amazing. I probably emailed her nothing short of 100 questions and she answered them quickly and was also so nice and happy to help. She did a great job of sending me updated confirmations when we made changes and she had a lot of insight/suggestions/etc. She truly is a pro at what she does and our wedding day went perfectly because of her planning and help. Sadly she was on vacation the day of our wedding, but everyone that was there that day was so professional, helpful and friendly. We just could not have asked for a better experience in planning on wedding. I've seen it other reviews and it's true- weeks later people have complimented us on the food. How many people even remember what they had as a wedding meal, let alone remember and compliment the couple a month later?? The venue and the food and drink, etc are such big decisions with so many little details. And Jenn made sure we covered each one. The other great thing about this venue is the space itself. We got so many compliments on the amount of space, the amazing view, the variety of places for guests to mingle. Don’t want to dance? Grab a drink at the bar. Too many shots? Get a breath of fresh air on the terrace overlooking downtown. It’s a beautiful venue with an amazing team of people there to make your day everything you wanted and more. I have to stress the ‘and more’- we went back two days after to collect our gifts and things and my handkerchief from my grandma was missing. I thought I left it on the head table but it was not with any of our stuff. What did Jenn and Jane and company do? Put on rubber gloves and actually looked through linen bags and the garbage bin looking for it. I’m embarrassed to tell the story, because the hanky ended up getting tucked into one of our toasting glasses, but they deserve the credit for being the definition of going above and beyond. Thank you to this wonderful staff for a day we will never forget!

  The short: Amazing, amazing staff, great food, and great views. The long: We had our wedding here in August 2016. Chef Beth was amazing with our food needs and we had SO MANY compliments on the food, the amazing staff, and the view. One thing that is super great about this place is the membership that comes with a booking for a large event, so you can try different foods every day/week/month if you like. For example, we had passed cheese curds, no joke! And they were amazing!! My now husband and I really got to know the staff, so any anxiety about anyone working at our wedding was gone because I already knew 75% of the people there. I seriously cannot rave enough about the staff. Just amazing, real, kind, generous, thoughtful, smart, speedy (took 20 minutes or so to serve like 250 people in two rooms), AMAZING. Jen and Jane always promptly (within an hour >90% of the time, within a day the rest of the time) reply to emails about any questions, bookings, food requests, etc. They act as amazing liaisons with not only the staff and the kitchen, but also all the vendors we hired. They both know the questions I'm forgetting to ask, and they always acted as if this wedding was going to be super fun for everyone, including the staff! :-) Bonus: there are so many photo ops here - we did pictures against the Ivy wall, obviously the view from the ballroom and the terrace are amazing as well! I cannot recommend the Campus Club enough!
