Disneyland Opens the Haunted Mansion for Weddings, Inviting Couples to Say “I Do” Among the Happy Haunts.
Disney fans with a flair for the spooky now have a brand‑new way to tie the knot. Beginning this July, Disneyland is officially opening the gates of its iconic Haunted Mansion attraction for wedding ceremonies — a first in the park’s history and a bold expansion of Disney’s already‑popular fairytale wedding offerings.
The new venue, called The Haunted Mansion Courtyard, allows couples to exchange vows on the attraction’s front steps, surrounded by the eerie elegance and gothic charm that have made the Mansion a fan favorite for decades. Think wrought‑iron railings, flickering lanterns, and that unmistakable Victorian façade — all before the 999 happy haunts wake up for the day.

A Ceremony Before the Park Wakes Up
To preserve the attraction’s mystique (and avoid the bustle of daytime crowds), ceremonies will take place early in the morning before Disneyland Park opens. The setting is intimate by design: the courtyard can host up to 25 guests, including the couple, making it ideal for small, atmospheric celebrations.
Disney’s wedding team is known for crafting highly customized experiences, and the Haunted Mansion venue is expected to follow suit — though with a distinctly macabre twist. While Disney hasn’t yet detailed all the thematic options, fans can likely expect nods to the attraction’s beloved characters, from the Hitchhiking Ghosts to Madame Leota.

A Growing Focus on Disney Weddings
This move reflects a broader trend: Disney is leaning more heavily into its wedding business, which has surged in popularity thanks to social media and the rise of destination micro‑weddings. Couples increasingly want ceremonies that feel personal, immersive, and Instagram‑ready — and few backdrops are as instantly recognizable as the Haunted Mansion.
For longtime fans, the venue offers something even more meaningful: the chance to become part of the attraction’s lore, if only for a morning. After all, as the Mansion famously reminds guests, there’s always room for one more.
