Reserving The Main Or West Chapel

Before Reserving The Chapel
You first should learn of all of the available dates of your preferred officiant and reception location(s)

To inquire about availability of either Chapel, fill out the online Availability Request Form, or contact the Reservations Office directly at (301) 314-9866 for assistance.

IMPORTANT:
Please note that the availability request is not a reservation. After we receive your request, we will contact you with reservation availability.

If you request a wedding date fewer than 12 months in advance and we confirm that it is available, payment of the rental fee in full is required for a permanent reservation.

If you request a wedding date more than 12 months in advance and we verify that it is available, a 50% non-refundable deposit will secure a conditional reservation.

An original 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 the initial reservation date. (The initial reservation date is the day when payment is taken to reserve a couple’s desired wedding date.) If a signed Agreement is not returned within two weeks, the reservation will be cancelled and the reservation deposit will be refunded but not the $50 administrative fee.

Call us at (301) 314-9866 to arrange credit card payment or appointment

A reservation is not final until the reservation deposit, non-refundable $50 administrative fee and signed Reservations Agreement are received by the Chapel Reservations Office.

Payments are accepted by phone with VISA, MasterCard or Discover. Payments by check or money order must be paid in person by appointment.


One more important disclaimer concerning conditional (more than 12 months in advance) reservations ...

Campus departments have the right to reserve the Chapel as long as they contact the Reservations Office at least 12 months in advance. This means that you could be bumped from any date reserved more than one year in advance. This also means that if you select a date that is more than 12 months in advance, that date might need to change, as campus departments have priority in booking.

If this happens, we will notify you immediately to try to accommodate your reservation on another date. Your full deposit will be refunded if a suitable date cannot be found.

If you are not bumped by the first day of the month that is 12 months before your wedding, payment of the balance of your rental fee will make your reservation permanent.

Failure to pay the balance due will result in a canceled contract.

If you need to change or cancel your reservation, be sure to read our policy on changes and cancellations.
