Wedding Reception at the facilities on ICU campus

ICU is not a dedicated wedding service facility. The facilities on campus are primarily for research and education. Naturally, there are various rules/restrictions and also some limitation for the use for the events relating to the wedding.  For most of those who wish to get married on campus, however, those facilities embrace full of memories while they spent young days on campus. Therefore we will try to make your wishes come true by studying your needs carefully, and take various measures to negotiate with the concerned department at the college.

(NOTES) Please note that reservations for on- or off- campus reception venues should made separately from those of ICU Chapel.  Should there be any other event planning to schedule on the same date, ICU Service cannot support making reservations.  Kindly understand, and if you are interested in having on-campus wedding reception etc, please ask ICU Service upon your first ICU Service meeting or when you book your first Pastor Meeting.
