FAQs 5

Do I need a WAC membership to host an event at the club?
You will need a WAC member sponsor; however, it is typically not difficult to find someone in your network that has a membership with us. The WAC has over 10,000 members!
Is outside catering allowed?
There’s no need! The WAC has a full-service, in-house catering food and beverage menu. We will make an exception for weddings that require preparation and service of traditional, religious, or culturally significant food we cannot make in-house.
. Does the WAC have hotel accommodation packages for event groups?
Yes! Our 109 Inn at the WAC guest rooms and suites feature modern décor with luxurious bedding, slimline HDTVs, radios with Bluetooth connectivity, spa-inspired bathrooms with Molton Brown amenities, and in-room Starbucks. You’ll also enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi in your room and around the Club.
What is a Food and Beverage Minimum vs. a Room Rental fee?
