Wedding Menu
Welcome to the University Center
These menus are designed to introduce you to the food and beverage services offered by the
University Center. Please remember that this is only an example of what we can provide for your
special day. The Executive Chef and Catering Director will be happy to accommodate your menu
requests and assist you in planning your reception.
The staff at the University Center will work with you to determine the most appropriate room
for your reception. The Grand Banquet Hall can accommodate larger receptions; the Board of
Trustees Room, which over looks the outdoor terrace and lake, can accommodate smaller, more
intimate receptions.
