University Club

University Club is a historic event venue in downtown Moline, Illinois, offering spaces for weddings, receptions, corporate gatherings and private celebrations. Set in a building dating from 1912, it combines original architectural details, exposed brick and timber floors with adaptable layouts for ceremonies, dinners, dancing, meetings and social events.

The venue has two principal event spaces across different levels. The Upper Level suits wedding ceremonies and receptions, private gatherings and other occasions that call for a characterful setting. The Piano Bar provides a more open room for larger celebrations, cocktail hours and receptions. A smaller room is also available for intimate ceremonies. Together, the spaces can accommodate different event formats, from family occasions and birthday parties to fundraisers, board meetings, workshops, networking events and association dinners.

Organisers can arrange event coordination, bar service, tables, chairs and other venue essentials. Wedding packages include catering provided through DeBord Catering, with buffet menus that can be tailored to guests' preferences and dietary needs. The venue also allows outside caterers under its stated requirements, giving organisers flexibility over food arrangements. Couples may book the space for ceremony and reception, and can arrange access the day before for decorating, rehearsal or preparation.

Located close to downtown hotels, restaurants and parking, University Club offers a convenient base for local and visiting guests. Organisers can request a tour and discuss the layout, services and event details with the venue team.
