Graham Chapel Information and Policies

Event Management

1. Clients must submit their room setup requirements in writing to Event Services at least two weeks prior to event date via e-mail, fax or by using the online Room Setup Form. Please see the Event Service Reservation Policies for more information.
2. Event Services will generate Event Information Sheets for each event and will act as liaison between client and all service providers.

Capacity Crowds

1. Please notify Event Services if you expect a capacity crowd at your event. Due to Fire Code, attendees may not stand on the stairs, side aisles or back of the Chapel during an event. Event Services will work with you to maximize the pew seating and can assist you with staffing and signage for such events.
2. For events likely to exceed the seating capacity, Event Services can work with you to provide an overflow location with a video simulcast of the event.

Housekeeping Services

1. Housekeeping is the exclusive provider of setup, teardown and cleaning services. Clients are responsible for all setup, cleaning and teardown charges from Housekeeping. Clients must present Housekeeping with a purchase order number for billing purposes no later than one week prior to the event. Housekeeping will invoice clients directly for services rendered. For payment information, contact Housekeeping.
2. Only Housekeeping may move furniture within the Chapel, and furniture may not be removed from the Chapel.
3. The pews may not be moved or stacked. Unauthorized movement of pews could result in a group being banned from future use of the Chapel and additional damage charges.
