Sage Chapel and Anabel Taylor Hall are nonsectarian spaces that are religious and spiritual in nature. Priority is given to events that are religious or spiritual in nature, as well as musical events in the chapels, and events that support student wellness, equity, empowerment, and belonging. 

Conference and Event Services manages all weddings, remembrance services, private events, and requests from outside groups and parties.

Scheduling Procedure
Submit reservation requests through the Scheduling@Cornell website, where you can also find information describing rooms and capacity. You may also contact the OSMM scheduler at 607.255.6002 or swissman@cornell.edu with any questions. 

For full consideration, please submit your reservation request at least 10 business days before the scheduled event. CURW groups may reserve spaces up to one year in advance. Other groups may reserve spaces after July 15 for Fall Semester and after November 15 for Spring Semester. 

Groups are responsible for their own setup and for returning the space to its original setup and condition after their event. This includes closing windows. For events with food, groups are required to carry out their trash to the dumpster behind Anabel Taylor or the dumpster in the Day Hall parking lot for Sage Chapel. We do not provide room setup and offer minimal tech support. Please contact CIT for more advanced audio/visual support and Facilities for setup assistance. 

Please note you are not allowed to use candles in any of these facilities unless you have a fire permit from the fire department. Contact Environmental Health and Safety at askehs@cornell.edu or 607.255.8200.
