Every event, no matter how simple or intricate, requires advance planning and organization. These Guides are intended to serve as a resource to the entire university, providing expertise and guidance in the planning and implementation of events hosted by individual colleges, departments, registered student organizations, alumni and the community.
Facility space usage, rates and policies vary depending on your affiliation to Marquette University. Further, the reservation process may differ based on the facility that is being requested. As such, each Guide will assist you in the event planning process.
The Alumni Memorial Union Event Services Office along with the Office of the Registrar are available to provide their expertise and guidance in the planning and implementation of your event. Our mission is to successfully coordinate your program from initial concept to completion of the event in collaboration with our campus partners. We are each committed to providing high quality customer service through each step of the event planning process.
