My wife to be and I were discussing how we think it’d be nice to get married in the Monastery next to her house. She’s known the priests and brothers there for years and it’d be a good place to get married. However, she told me you couldn’t get married in a chapel, but it had to be a church.

I was wondering then, if there is any kind of dispensation you can get for this so you’d be allowed to marry in a chapel?

Can. 1118 ß1 A marriage between Catholics, or between a catholic party and a baptized non-Catholic, is to be celebrated in the parish church. By permission of the local Ordinary or of the parish priest, it may be celebrated in another church or oratory.

Your parish priest can give permission for you to marry at the chapel.
 
yes you need permission from the monastery as well, and will have to plan according to their schedule. also, tthe marriage preparation, and the record of your marriage will be kept in your parish, since the monastery is not a parish church and does not have sacramental records.
