About Packer Memorial Church

A wedding at Packer Memorial Church means getting married in Lehigh University's chapel, on the campus in Bethlehem. You don't need a Lehigh connection: the Chaplain's Office opens the church to any couple planning a religious ceremony. For wedding photos and video, the light is the story here. In the afternoon, sun pours through the southern windows and moves toward the back of the church, glowing through the stained glass.

Your wedding ceremony gets a two-hour reservation (two and a half for a full Catholic Mass), and photography has to fit inside it, so pictures in the church come first, before any outside. The staff suggest your photographer and videographer attend the rehearsal to see the lighting; the main lights can seem dim in the evening, and adjustable spotlights are available. There is a podium microphone and a lapel microphone for the officiant, so ask for one near where you'll stand if you want your vows clear on your film. The center aisle is 64 inches wide, a generous path for the processional.

Some practical notes. There are no dressing rooms for the bride, so arrive ready for your wedding day (there is a room for the groomsmen behind the chancel). The church isn't air conditioned, though standing fans are set out. The campus is pedestrian only, so guests use meters on Packer Avenue or nearby garages, and cars can only drop off by the church. Photos elsewhere on campus need permission in advance, and your reception will be at another venue.

  • Check the online calendar and send a date request; dates open about a year and a half ahead.
  • Catholic couples contact the Newman Center at least six months before.
  • Read the whole wedding page with your photographer, since it becomes part of your agreement.
