CANCELLATIONS
NO REFUNDS will be given except when the time slot that was originally reserved is booked by another party.
UNM Alumni Relations reserves the right to cancel events at any time and in emergencies.
If you need to reschedule your ceremony, we will be happy to help you find another time slot.
Please consider very carefully amount of time you will need for your event/ceremony from beginning to end when you make your reservation.
Include setup time, photography, arrival of guests, etc., before the ceremony, the ceremony itself, and egress of guests from the chapel, receiving line, photography, take-down, etc., after the ceremony.
By evaluating all the elements involved, you can more accurately estimate the amount of time necessary to meet all your needs.
YOU MAY NOT ENTER
THE CHAPEL EARLIER THAN YOUR RESERVED TIME!
YOU MUST LEAVE AT THE END OF YOUR RESERVED TIME!
If the planned duration of your ceremony is longer than the standard two hour block of time, as noted in the Rental Fees section, the $50.00 per hour fee for additional time is added to the total cost.
Because ceremonies are often scheduled one right after the other, all delays significantly impact subsequent ceremonies.
The chapel is cleaned between ceremonies, so please do not go over your scheduled time limit.
A staff person is present to open the chapel for you at the start of your reservation time slot and close the chapel at the end of your reservation time slot.
The staff attendant also ensures that the usage policies are adhered too.
