Chapel Wedding Rental Fees
divider
Memorial Chapel is available for rent to the general public. To qualify for the University of Maryland discount, either the bride or groom must provide proof of current full-time enrollment or a degree from the University of Maryland, College Park.

The University of Maryland discount also applies to:
  • current University of Maryland, College Park faculty and staff, and their sons and daughters. (A current faculty/staff ID card is required.)

Change Fee: As a courtesy a reservation may be changed once at no cost. All further changes require a $50 fee per change.

Security Deposit: A valid credit card number is required with each contract as security for possible damages. Nothing will be charged to the card unless chapel repairs or extra clean up is needed following use of the chapel.

NOTE: Chapel rental fees may be increased at any time. Once your reservation is permanent, the "rental fee" will not change.
