Beautiful Chapel in the Heart of Houston

As soon as my husband and I walked into University Chapel, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. The Chapel reminded us of churches we grew up in and immediately provided me a sense of calm and peace. We especially loved the floor to ceiling arches and windows which let in so much natural light and greenery and helped us to have that element of nature even though we were indoors. We received many compliments from guests who enjoyed watching the sunset during our ceremony. We also liked how centrally located the Chapel was for our guests who were traveling from all over Houston and beyond and that the rental fee was very reasonable. The Chapel representative, Keiry, was very professional in all of her communication with us and helped us to quickly problem solve any questions or concerns we had. We were also able to visit the Chapel in person as many times as we needed ahead of time to plan for decorations, photos, etc. and I was able to easily do bridal portraits for no extra fee. My only recommendation is that if you’re considering having your ceremony here, double check any big university events ahead of time if possible, as we accidentally scheduled our wedding the same day as Homecoming, which created some extra traffic and delays, but the Chapel staff was very accommodating. Thank you to Keiry and her student workers for helping create a very special day for us!

Great Experience!

The representative who assisted us was a student of U of H. She was very professional, friendly and helpful. She gave us a tour of the chapel and the facilities, answered all of our questions. We even received a complimentary gift for booking with them!

The A.D. Bruce is a beautiful building located in the Center of the University of Houston Main Campus. A very bright venue. Lots of natural light. The staff was wonderful and accommodating and their rates are VERY affordable. I was married there because I am an alumni of the University, however I think it would be a great place for anyone to be married.
