Disneyland Resort in California is offering a hauntingly romantic new wedding venue for the first time. Couples can now say "I do" on the front steps of the iconic Haunted Mansion, creating a unique and spirited setting for their special day.
A Spooky Celebration
Early morning ceremonies in the attraction's courtyard, held before the park opens to the public, are available for booking from July 2026 onwards. This eerie venue is part of a wedding package designed for up to 25 people, including the couple, ensuring an intimate and memorable experience.
Package Details and Offerings
The Haunted Mansion wedding package includes a dedicated officiant to perform the ceremony, light décor to enhance the spooky ambiance, professional photography to capture the moment, and transportation to and from a Disneyland Resort hotel. This marks a significant expansion of Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons division, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary with this new offering.
The Haunted Mansion, known for its slow-moving "doom buggy" tours through a haunted estate, has long been a fan favorite at Disneyland. By making it available for weddings, Disney aims to cater to couples seeking a destination with unique storytelling that reflects their passions and interests.

This announcement coincides with Disneyland Paris preparing to unveil a vast, multi-billion-euro extension to Walt Disney Studios Park, set to open on March 29. The marquee new attraction is a land called World of Frozen, featuring a life-size recreation of the kingdom of Arendelle.
Framing the town square is the North Mountain, standing 118 feet in height and blanketed in snow. Additionally, a kiosk called Fjord View Shop will sell exclusive merchandise, including clothes with motifs inspired by the movie, such as princess dresses, bags, caps, woolly hats, and the interactive troll doll Rúna, which costs 70 euros ($80) and is unavailable online or at other Disney parks.
