Application process

Those wishing to use our facilities are strongly encouraged to make reservations in a timely manner to best ensure availability on your preferred date(s). Rental is initiated by application and must be approved.

We encourage you to schedule a tour of our buildings and grounds if that is convenient. To do so, please send an email to rentals@uuharvard.org and we will respond promptly.

We can assist you in finding the perfect space in our facilities for your sacred event, rite of passage, class, meeting, or party. We will also provide information on what the various pricing options are based upon the event you have in mind.
