    Dream Wedding Venue

    My husband and I are so pleased with the quality of dedicated customer service provided to us from the first meeting to the unforgettable day of our wedding. Truly, the responsiveness, professionalism and overall care of the staff whomever we dealt with, was bar none. I especially appreciated the call from Kait, the Senior Event Manager, days prior to our ceremony to finalize details to ensure the timeline was correct and we had not forgotten anything, allowing our ceremony to be seamless and as beautiful as it was. We are grateful.

    University of Maryland Memorial Chapel's reply:

    Hi Sharon!
    We are delighted to hear about your experience with the Memorial Chapel. Thank you for letting us be apart of your special day!

    Beautiful venue

    The chapel was beautiful. We even opted not to decorate and let the building shine. It had plenty of seating. The staff are super friendly and helpful.

    Mini-mony at University of Maryland’s Garden Chapel

    We decided to have a mini-mony at the Garden Chapel. It was a great experience we had with our parents and my two aunts, which we had the honor of one of them marrying us. We had to cancel a day before due to unforeseen circumstances, but the chapel staff were so accommodating and quickly helped reschedule the ceremony the following week. They made it simple and stress-free! They were also so sweet and had such a positive aura. I gave them a list of the ceremonial order and included when to play the songs I selected and they followed it to a T! Great experience overall :)

    Heavenly Location to Celebrate our Wedding

    The University of Maryland Memorial Chapel team offered a stress-free, courteous and personalized reservation process. The staff is extremely well organized, knowledgeable and helpful, and they will go out of their way to provide detailed information on every aspect of the wedding, from the point of the venue reservation to the point of the execution of the ceremony. They patiently and thoroughly answered all our questions throughout the entire process and provided outstanding assistance and support. We couldn't have chosen a more perfect location to hold our wedding, and the UMD Memorial Chapel staff played a big role in this.

    Great Wedding Day!

    My experience at the Memorial Chapel was excellent. The staff, made my wedding extremely memorable. They are patient, kind and accommodating. They were there to answer any questions, any time of the day and night! I knew I was in great hands from day one! The Chapel manager and the three ladies there to assist me are super professional and knowledgeable. You can tell that they love their jobs because they make it super easy for the bride and groom to have the best day of their life. And how could I forget to mention the beauty of the Chapel - both sides, the Main and the Garden. Either space doesn't need much decorating, it's beauty speaks for itself. I highly recommend having your wedding at the Memorial Chapel.

    Amazing Venue and Experience!

    The Chapel at UMD was the most fabulous ceremony space for our wedding. The space itself is absolutely beautiful, however, what made our experience was the team we had at the chapel. We worked with Denise, Salem and Kailey. They were super responsive and Denise specifically, helped us sort out a huge issue we had a few weeks before the wedding, and completely saved the day! Everyone at the chapel was absolutely incredible, and helped us every step of the way and on the wedding day. They were so kind, helpful and calming. The experience was absolutely incredible and I would recommend this venue to anyone!

    COVID-19 - Socially Distance Wedding

    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.

    Simply the best!

    As Terps, we were so lucky to be married in Memorial Chapel! The space is stunning and the space and gardens do not need much in terms of decor. We worked with Mel, and she is hands down the best thing that happened to us! She was professional, prompt, caring, communicative, and knowledgeable. Mel checked in with us every step of the way, made recommendations, and truly worked to make our day one to remember. You won't be disappointed!

    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!

    Covid 19 Socially Distance Wedding. Great Great Service!

    Mel and Denise were so great at making sure we had the best wedding experience even during Covid. We had our wedding Aug. 2020 and it was still very beautiful and came out better then I could have planned. Originally we weren't sure if it would be better to cancel and wait it out but I am so glad we didn't! We kept our date, still had a great wedding at the best venue and was able to start our forever! ❤️
