One service Loyola University Chicago (Loyola) offers is wedding ceremonies and receptions. Loyola has been a featured venue for thirty years with the historic Madonna della Strada Chapel and Mundelein Auditorium as sites for the wedding ceremonies.

Point of reference -
The bride and/or groom must be Catholic and affiliated to Loyola in order to get married in the Chapel. The ceremony can only be on a Saturday and the cost is $2,000.
With that said, receptions held at Loyola do not require affiliation. In fact, 10% off the wedding venue rental is provided to alum (not including catering) and 10% off is provided for Friday and Sunday receptions. Loyola accommodates up to 260 guests with reserve of $85 per person. Loyola goes above and beyond, though, for the bride and groom by offering a full custom reception package - every last detail for the wedding celebration is taken care of...and at a very generous rate. A reception at the Crown Center is $2,500. A reception at Mundelein is $5,800. The couple is in full communication with dedicated Conference and Catering contacts.
