Halloween is the perfect time to embrace the mysterious, the magical, andโ€ฆ matrimony? Yes! October 31st is becoming one of the most unique and sought-after dates for couples looking to tie the knot with a touch of spooky flair. Whether youโ€™re eloping in vampire capes or saying โ€œI booโ€ under a harvest moon, a Halloween wedding is as romantic as it is unforgettable.

And the best part? You can legally get married in California on Halloween โ€” in just one day. Here’s exactly how to do it with same-day marriage license issuance, officiant services, and legal documentation all handled for you.


๐Ÿ‘ป Why Get Married on Halloween?

A Halloween wedding lets you:

  • Tap into romantic gothic vibes
  • Wear themed attire (costumes, masquerade masks, black wedding dresses)
  • Celebrate during a festive season
  • Combine your favorite holiday with your love story

Itโ€™s perfect for couples who love non-traditional, magical, or moody aesthetics โ€” and want to skip the months of wedding planning stress.


๐Ÿ’ Step 1: Get Your Same-Day Marriage License

Most people donโ€™t know this, but in California, you donโ€™t have to wait in line at the courthouse. You can legally obtain a same-day marriage license through Get Married Today, a mobile-authorized provider certified by the County Clerk.

We come to you โ€” your home, your venue, even a pumpkin patch โ€” and issue your marriage license on the spot.

  • Your own decorated backyard with fog machines and candles

Wherever you plan it, our mobile wedding officiants will meet you there, license in hand.


๐Ÿง™โ€โ™€๏ธ Step 3: Book a Costumed Officiant (Optional but Fun!)
