The Memorial Chapel attracts over 80,000 visitors each year, and hosts upwards of 1,200 events annually, including commencement ceremonies, concerts, convocations, lectures, and weddings.
 Weddings at the Chapel are particularly popular among Maryland alumni and members of the university community, as 84% of the weddings that have taken place at the Chapel had at least one connection to the university.
Visitors of the Chapel include former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Senator John McCain, Senator Joseph Tydings, and former Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich.
A Veterans Day ceremony is held at the Chapel annually.

The Chapel is often used as place of remembrance and reflection by the university community, particularly in the aftermath of great tragedies; it has been an important meeting place and symbol during the Vietnam War, and in the wake of September 11, Challenger, Columbia, 2004 Tsunami, and Virginia Tech disasters.
