Additional Fees to Keep in Mind
Officiant Fee: It is customary to pay a fee to the officiant. This is determined between you and that individual.
Organist Fee: Dr. Mark Steinbach, University organist, requires a fee* to discuss the music with a couple, play for the wedding rehearsal, and play the actual service. If you use another organist or other musicians, you are responsible for working out those fees.
Instrument Use Fee: TBA*
Audio/Technical Fee: Because Manning Chapel is part of the Brown University , Brown Facilities and Maintenance have to be requested to provide audio links. OCRL will make these arrangements and a staff member will discuss the fees with you at the time of finalizing your application.
Custodial Fee: A Facilities and Maintenance employee must be available during your service to handle any problems relating to the physical building and to run the handicap-accessible chairlift.
Facilities Deposit: Is included in the rental fee.
*The organist fee and instrument use fee are also being negotiated, please call 401.863.2344 for more information.
