Choosing Music for Your Wedding
Morris Chapel maintains a list of area musicians and vocalists.
Any arrangements you make for musicians is separate from the fee you pay for use of Morris Chapel.
Alternatively, we can provide music at an additional cost, either live or recorded.
Our Sound Technician can assist you with recorded music, and is available to assist musicians and vocalists, for a fee of $125.00.
No outside audio equipment is permitted. For more information, contact the Chapel staff.
Payment Required
To secure your reservation, you must pay a non-refundable payment of $300.
Your payment is due within ten days of scheduling the wedding.
The remainder of the fee is due within 90 days of securing your reservation. A four payment plan is available upon request.
If your wedding date is less than 120 days from the time it is scheduled, your payment in full is due within ten days of booking.
Cancellation Policy
If you cancel your wedding, all payments are non-refundable.
Required Insurance
Because weddings are non-University events, insurance is required for all couples.
Morris Chapel recommends using Wed Safe Wedding Insurance for your convenience.
The Wed Safe Liability and Property Damage policy is specially designed to protect the wedding couple from liability related to certain types of accidents that may occur during the wedding and result in bodily injury or property damage.
An alternative to Wed Safe would be to contact your homeowners insurance and obtain an event policy for the day of your wedding.
No wedding can take place without proof of insurance.
- Ministers and Officiants
You are encouraged to bring in your own wedding officiate.
In some cases when you are unfamiliar with an officiate, this list is provided by Morris Chapel to help you secure an officiate to preside over your wedding ceremony.
As many clergy do not "charge" to perform a wedding, Morris Chapel Staff recommends an honorarium to your officiate of a minimum of $200, for their time and services.
