Reservation Requests | Duke University Chapel

Duke Chapel provides a pastoral presence on campus and beyond by hosting significant university ceremonies and community gatherings. It is a cherished site for weddings, baptisms, and memorial services.

Given its role as a university chapel, Duke Chapel limits the hosting of some events to members of the Duke community. Below are links to more information about how to hold a wedding, funeral, baptism, or tower climb at the Chapel. For all other events, please fill out our Event Reservation Request Form.

Weddings

Available to students, staff, faculty, alumni and their children or grandchildren. We’re delighted that you’re considering holding your ceremony at the Chapel.

Baptisms

Available to students, staff, faculty, alumni and their children or grandchildren, as well as members of the Congregation at Duke. Baptism is the sacrament by which a person becomes part of the body of Christ.

Funerals & Memorials

The Chapel shares the sorrows and joys of the life of the Duke community by tending to the full spectrum of human need, including the depths of lament.

Tower Climbs

Available to students, staff, and faculty with a full-time university employee as a sponsor. Tower climbs are a wonderful way to bring students and staff together to experience a wildly different view of campus and the landscape of Durham.
