Reservation

Wedding Reservations within 12 Months

If you reserve a wedding date fewer than 12 months in advance, payment of the entire rental fee and a $75 non-refundable administrative fee in full is required to secure a reservation. However, we are willing to work with clients to create a payment plan that best suits their needs.

Reservations Agreement

A signed Reservation Agreement is required to finalize a reservation at the Chapel. The signed Agreement confirms that our clients understand and agree to abide by University of Maryland and Memorial Chapel policy. A signed Agreement is due to the Reservations Office within two weeks of receipt by mail or email.

Reserve the Chapel

Before making your reservation at the Chapel, it is recommended that you confirm your date selection with your reception site as well as important participants and vendors. Once you have your date selected and confirm that the date and ceremony time you desire is available at the Chapel, you can call or come to the office in person to complete your reservation. Due to the high demand for wedding reservations at the Chapel, holds are limited to 14 days.
