Halloween is the perfect time to embrace the mysterious, the magical, and… 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 you’re eloping in vampire capes or saying “I boo” 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 — 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.
👻 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
It’s perfect for couples who love non-traditional, magical, or moody aesthetics — and want to skip the months of wedding planning stress.
💍 Step 1: Get Your Same-Day Marriage License
Most people don’t know this, but in California, you don’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 — your home, your venue, even a pumpkin patch — and issue your marriage license on the spot.
