      We had our wedding at IWU and had a wonderful experience, especially since Evelyn Chapel is such a beautiful place. IWU provided facility coordinators to help iron out details during the wedding process and oversee on the wedding day, and Anna was fantastic to work with. IWU also provides a musician for the ceremony, and working with Lisa was also amazing. We had our reception at the Young Main Lounge and everything was seamless. The caterer is through Sodexo and our guests have not stopped complimenting the meal. Having our wedding at IWU made our day unique and run so smoothly, and we highly recommend it to any couple!
