Located on 425 wooded acres along Lake Michigan, the chapel at Björklunden is a picturesque setting for a wedding, baptism, or family service. The staff at Björklunden wishes to help you make this special service a memorable experience, not just for you, but also for your family and friends.
Please note that you are responsible for obtaining the marriage license and for hiring the person to perform the ceremony. Also, the chapel is a seasonal building, so although it is available year-round, the temperature inside the building is the same as the temperature outside. The chapel accommodates 36 people sitting in pews. The lighting of candles or use of electric equipment (i.e. space heaters) is not allowed in the chapel. Battery operated candles and boom boxes are premitted.
Lawrence University’s fee for the use of the Björklunden chapel is $425. This fee is for use of the chapel only; there are no facilities for dressing, handling groups if it rains, or public restrooms. There is a two-hour time limit that must be strictly adhered to, as we often have multiple services on the same day.
