Duke Chapel Weddings

Duke Chapel weddings are truly unforgettable. A highlight of Durham NC, this gothic style Duke University Chapel is a sight to behold. It is renowned for its breathtaking medieval style architecture. Its high ceilings, stained glass windows and towers provide picturesque backdrops for your big day.

Duke University Chapel Weddings- NC destination

No wonder, Duke Chapel is an extremely popular location for weddings in the South. That includes locals who grew up admiring the steeple, as well as Duke University alum who return to Durham from near and far to wed in this special place.

Brides flock to the chapel for monthly sign-ups…literally! Since the sign-ups are on a first come, first served basis, many couples have taken to camping out the night before to ensure they are able to book a preferred date! Although many brides who book Duke Chapel host their wedding reception at nearby Duke-affiliated sites such as Duke Gardens, the Nasher Museum of Art, or the Washington Duke Inn, the Chapel is such a wonderful venue that couples are willing to host their ceremony there despite the distance (be it near or far) from their reception space.

More information on “tenting” (the when, what, why and how) can be found on the Duke Chapel Weddings Page.
