The Memorial Chapel staff was amazing to work with and I would highly recommend having your ceremony there. The Chapel is beautiful and I loved every part of my ceremony. I have no complaints. If you plan on getting married in peak season, book early to make sure you get the day/time you want. Perfect venue for Terps and other happy couples :)

My husband and I recently held our wedding at the UMD Chapel and were extremely pleased and delighted with the entire process of working with the team. We cannot say enough good things about Mel Coles! She kept us calm, answered any questions we had quickly and professionally, and did anything she could to accommodate any request we had. I would recommend the chapel over and over again! My experience here was one of the highlights of my planning. We can't thank you enough!

My husband and I (both graduates of UMD College Park) recently held our wedding ceremony at the UMD Memorial Chapel and were extremely pleased with the ease of reserving the facility, the information provided, and the support we received from the staff. Mel Coles made sure that everything was taken care of, provided recommendations on how to best decorate and plan the ceremony, and assisted with everything on the day of our ceremony. We were pleasantly surprised with all of the help we received leading up to our big day as well as the day of our wedding. She was amazing to work with! The Chapel provided her services and the services of an assistant (Olivia) and everything went very smoothly! Especially considering we didn’t reserve the Chapel until 2 months before our wedding. Even so, I didn’t feel rushed or stressed at all because Mel was on top of everything. We would definitely, without hesitation, recommend this beautiful venue and their dedicated staff for weddings.

The Memorial Chapel at UMD has all the look, feel and grandeur that you want for a church wedding not intrusive for your beliefs. It is a grand setting, and they make no belief requirements. You have a choice between the main chapel and the small chapel (not SO small), so you can graciously accommodate any size gathering. The organ is beautiful and can really let go with some power and wonderful sounds. Plenty of room for family and friends to gather (and out of the rain, if that is necessary) and for the bride and groom to have room to change without bumping into each other. A perfect set-up for your wedding. When I am asked to officiate a wedding at the Memorial Chapel, I know there will not only be no problem, but that the wedding will also be just beautiful.
