Planning a wedding during a global pandemic was very stressful. However, Mel Coles, Event Sales, and Office Assistant, UMD Memorial Chapel, helped make our wedding day memorable for my husband and me.
From our first phone conversation, she was honest regarding the university's COVID-19 guidelines and kept me posted as she and Denise Lorraine McHugh worked behind the scenes to get our date approved. Mel recommended vendors and was very hands-on throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond to make sure my day was perfect. From rolling out my aisle runner, making sure I had the right music, to ensuring my 20 guests felt welcomed and safe, Mel was terrific. Her attention to detail was also a bonus.
If you are looking for a beautiful venue with impeccable customer service, I highly recommend the UMD Memorial Chapel to host your wedding.

Great Experience
My husband and I utilized the main chapel and we could not have been any happier. The venue itself is beautiful and can accommodate very large groups. Unfortunately, due to COVID, we were limited to only 40 guest. However, the venue went out of their way to ensure that guests felt welcomed, while still following proper COVID procedures. All of the coordinators that we worked with prior to the wedding and during the day of were fantastic. They made sure that everything went as smoothly as possible, and as a type A kind of bride, I was extremely impressed. All in all, I would definitely recommend this venue to other couples!
