Weddings at the Chapel

Reserve the Chapel

Special Circumstances

Situations Requiring Two Consecutive Time Blocks

To ensure that couples can accomplish all that is planned within their allotted time it is required that two consecutive time blocks be reserved if any of the follow situations apply to your wedding day plans:

• You expect more than 300 guests
• You plan to have a ceremony longer than 45 minutes
• You plan to greet guests in a receiving line
• You plan to have large decorations such as an arch, canopy or chuppah.

Game Day Reservations

Weddings are held at Memorial Chapel on home football game days. The Chapel has years of experience working with couples to make sure their game day wedding is still a private affair. The Chapel provides a parking lot attendant to ensure that the Chapel’s parking lot will only be used by wedding guests. We will also provide you with special game day directions that will help your guests avoid traffic. Our experience has shown that planning ahead and communicating in advance with guests about the conditions they may encounter provides for a smooth and seamless event.

If your selected date is chosen as a game day, the Chapel Staff will notify you as soon as the Athletics Department releases the schedule. The football schedule is usually released in late January – early February before the season starts. Unfortunately, the actual game times are not announced until two or three weeks before games.
