COVID-19 Information
We are pleased to announce that scheduling for weddings in Snidow Chapel has resumed, beginning with Fall 2021 dates.
Keep in mind that all external events, including weddings, must follow the University’s health policies at the time of the event. This could include, but is not limited to, mandates on vaccination requirements, mask wearing, socially-distanced seating, and restrictions on location capacity. Learn more about the University’s current plan for the upcoming semester. Currently, all visitors to campus must wear a mask at all times when inside any campus facility.
While the Spiritual Life Center staff understands your desire to plan, we cannot predict what restrictions may look like given the pandemic in our community. Please be prepared to follow policy changes as they are released, and be prepared to enforce restrictions with your guests.
Snidow Chapel
Snidow Chapel at the University of Lynchburg is available for weddings on a limited basis.
The sanctuary can hold more than 400 peopleand was renovated in 1996 (new pews), 2009 (new windows), 2011 (bathroom additions), and, again, in 2016 (organ and chancel).
At the front of the chapel hangs “Saving Grace,” a two-sided art quilt made for University of Lynchburg by artist Jill Jensen.
Please keep in mind that University of Lynchburg is a private, non-profit organization whose primary mission is to operate as an educational institution. Be aware that construction projects on campus can be going on at any time of the year, especially during the summer months.
Cloverlea Farmhouse and Memorial Gardens
Another University-affiliated wedding resource, the Cloverlea Farmhouse and Memorial Gardens, is situated on the southern side of the beautiful property of Claytor Nature Center in Bedford, Virginia. The picturesque historical farmhouse and grounds offer a stunning panoramic view of the Peaks of Otter and Blue Ridge Mountains, with a reflecting pool and various plants and flowers. It is available to rent for special events and is a popular wedding venue. For more information, email cloverlea@lynchburg.edu.
