Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Sesquicentennial Chapel, Oxford

A wedding at Sesquicentennial Chapel feels like getting married at the center of Miami University's Oxford campus, because that is where the chapel stands. Its red brick, white steeple and tall arched windows are classic Georgian Colonial, so your wedding photos start outside before anyone has taken a seat. The front of the chapel, with its columns and bell tower, is a natural place for a picture of the whole wedding party, and the brick paths around it carry the look of the campus into every frame.

Inside, the chapel seats up to 218 guests, a size that keeps your wedding ceremony close and personal. The arched windows bring daylight in along the pews for your photographer, and a modest room like this helps your wedding videographer catch the vows clearly. A piano is available for your music, and the chapel is air-conditioned, which matters on a June afternoon in Oxford.

You can plan the rest of the wedding day without leaving campus. Miami's Conference and Event Services team books the chapel, and an event planner can carry the details from the ceremony to a reception in the Armstrong Pavilion, the Shriver Center or The Marcum, with full-service catering and hotel rooms for guests at The Marcum. The Conrad Formal Gardens, one of the most photographed places on campus, are close by for portraits.

• Booking opens up to 13 months ahead for the chapel alone if you both attended Miami, and 12 months for other couples.
• Walk from the chapel to your portrait spots with your photographer before the day.
• Ask Conference and Event Services about photo and video guidelines in the chapel.

A little about Sesquicentennial Chapel

Sesquicentennial Chapel was dedicated in 1959, built with gifts from alumni and friends as part of Miami University's 150th-year celebration. It is a nondenominational chapel, and its brick was chosen to match the Georgian buildings around it.
