University Club Of Milwaukee - City And Country Club 

5.0

Milwaukee, WI
  • Up to 225 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

The University Club of Milwaukee and Tripoli Country Club merged in 2016. Today, there simply is no other club in the region that offers the same heritage, legacy of excellence, and breadth of experiences as The University Club of Milwaukee. Founded in 1898 by a group of 19 college alumni, The University Club's founding mission was to offer members a distinctive opportunity to network, share ideas, grow relationships, and engage in the issues of the day. This was a time of great hope and promise, and of progress and innovation. In 1921, entrepreneurial members of the Tripoli Temple in Milwaukee purchased land at what is now Good Hope Road and 43rd Street in Milwaukee and began a country club for the benefit of its members. Tripoli Country Club and its championship-caliber golf course attracted fine golfers, also serving as an oasis for members and their families. Now united by a common commitment to excellence, engagement, and a desire to positively impact the lives of our members.

The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable and they made everything so easy for planning! From checklists, to tipping guides, to responding (kindly) to my endless emails- we couldn’t have asked for more. I have to give a special shoutout to Hannah, who’s coordinating services we added onto our day. She truly understood and executed my wedding vision better than I could’ve ever imagined. We felt like we were part of the family here and not just another couple. If you’re looking for a place that is more than a venue- this is it.

We looked at many wedding venues in multiple states as my fiancé and I grew up in different states and have family/friends scattered pretty widely. Not only is the Gardens the most unique and grants you access to the entire property for the day all for your wedding, they go above & beyond in every aspect. The Gardens takes care of food/drink and have a great network of recommended vendors for any aspects of the wedding they don’t provide (photos, officiant, etc.). This was by far the best value we found in any venue. You can tell the care and attention to detail from the start of your tour of the grounds and meeting Johan, Amanda and Chef Kent. The grounds are amazing and have a ton to offer both indoors and outdoors, chapel, other indoor spaces to get ready, sprawling gardens and outdoor ceremony area plus a large tent. Look no further than the Gardens!
