Orange County Clerk Hosts “HalloWedding” Ceremonies for Couples Saying “I Do” This Halloween
ORLANDO, Fla. (FNN) – Love is in the spooky air this Halloween as the Orange County Clerk of Courts invites couples to celebrate their big day with a festive twist during its “HalloWedding” themed ceremonies on Friday, October 31, 2025, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Ceremony rooms at the Orange County Courthouse in downtown Orlando and the Winter Park branch will be decorated for the fall season, providing a whimsical and memorable setting for couples ready to say “I do” to their boo.
“This event is all about bringing our community together in a creative and festive way,” said Orange County Clerk Tiffany Moore Russell. “Couples can celebrate their love while adding their own personal touch to a day that will be remembered for years to come.”
Costumes Welcome—but Follow the Rules
Couples and guests are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes to add flair to their ceremonies, but all costumes must comply with courthouse security regulations.
Masks or face paint may only be applied right before the ceremony and must be removed immediately afterward.
Masks are not permitted while walking through courthouse buildings.
Costume accessories resembling weapons—including plastic swords, guns, or handcuffs—are strictly prohibited.
Outfits must be publicly appropriate and not sexually explicit or revealing.
These rules ensure that couples can safely enjoy the festivities while maintaining courthouse security standards.
Appointments, Fees, and Marriage License Details
Couples can schedule appointments in advance or walk in on the day of the event; however, appointment slots are limited, and early registration is encouraged. Both the marriage license and the ceremony require separate fees.
Florida residents should be aware of a possible three-day waiting period before the ceremony, depending on specific requirements. Couples are urged to visit the marriage section of the Clerk’s website for detailed information on eligibility, documentation, and fees.
Marriage licenses remain valid for 60 days, so couples must confirm that their license is active on their ceremony date.
For those preferring a traditional wedding, the Clerk’s Office will also conduct ceremonies at all locations, including Apopka and Ocoee branches, on Halloween or any regular business day.
