As they put it, “We basically wanted to throw the greatest Halloween party that our guests will talk about for years to come.”

Taylor and Erik wanted a wedding that doubled as an adventure. They found it in Moab, Utah, surrounded by red rocks, sandstone arches, and the perfect amount of eerie timing. Taylor told us, “We originally chose our wedding date purely for the spooky thrill of getting married on Friday the 13th, but once we realised the eclipse was the next morning, it felt like the universe’s way of telling us: Yep, you picked the perfect time and place to kick off your life together as husband and wife.”

Spooky weddings don’t just belong at Halloween. Karina and Jeff proved it with a gothic summerween slasher celebration in the middle of Arnos Vale Cemetery this June. The choice of venue raised eyebrows. Some people called it "kooky", but for Karina it was personal. She used to go there to read during a hard time in her life and later discovered her great-grandparents were buried there. “Even though I never met them it made me feel more connected to the place and its beauty,” she told us. They also had a hearse limo for the day instead of a normal car, "I really felt like Morticia Addams!" she said.

The vibe of Shelby and Sam's wedding was Art Deco meets a great dinner party. It featured their four dogs, signature coffees named after their cats, and a cut out of their dog, Ruby, telling fortunes from a DIY booth. “I really just wanted it to feel like ‘us’ as an event,” Shelby said. “Like those nights where you have such a great time you close the restaurant down.” They left out anything that didn’t feel necessary such as a bridal party, bouquet toss, and a dress code.
