Getting married at Disney is a dream for many Disney adults, and the chance to celebrate near a favorite attraction makes it even more exciting. When Disney announced the Haunted Mansion as a new wedding venue, excitement quickly spread, as it is such an iconic Disneyland attraction with its own large fan base.
Of course, a Disney Fairy Tale Wedding comes with a premium price tag, and the Haunted Mansion offering is no exception. Now that full pricing and ceremony details have been released, here is what you need to know about this coolest new Disney wedding option. Mickey Visit brings you the latest Disney news and planning resources, including a new rope drop change at Disneyland and a new app update for both theme parks.

Getting Married at Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion Courtyard
The option to get married in front of the Disneyland Haunted Mansion is part of the Disney Fairy Tale Wedding experience. Interested couples will work with a Disney Wedding Sales Manager to book their wedding, and the Wedding Sales Manager will assist with booking the best time, date, and location.
The Haunted Mansion Courtyard wedding venue can accommodate a maximum of 25 guests and is exclusively available for morning ceremonies, as they must occur prior to theme park opening. Pricing for this experience starts at $40,000 and includes an officiant, light décor, photography, and transportation to and from a Disneyland Resort Hotel. Disney Entertainment, floral, décor & photography are required for this location, which will likely drive that minimum cost of $40,000 up pretty quickly. This means you cannot bring in your own vendors, you have to go through all of Disney’s official services.
Keep in mind that prices fluctuate depending on the date, so even though the starting price is $40,000, this can increase if your wedding date is during a high-demand time of the year. The price also does not include any applicable tax, service charges, gratuity, or additional fees.
You can see an example of how the ceremony would be staged in the photo above. Disney also shared a sample timeline of what a morning wedding would look like at the Haunted Mansion courtyard:
- 5:00am: Guests meet at one of the hotels at The Disneyland Resort
- 5:00am: Guests are driven to Disneyland Park
- 5:15am: Guests arrive to Disneyland Park
- 5:20am: Ceremony on steps of The Haunted Mansion
- 5:45am: Photos in front of The Haunted Mansion
- 6:30am: Guests depart

From start to finish, it’s likely the experience can only last about an hour, including time to take photos, which is pretty average for ceremonies through Disney Fairy Tale Weddings.
Curious how this price stacks up against other Disney Fairy Tale Wedding options? The most expensive wedding venue choice at Disneyland is the castle. At Disneyland, a wedding ceremony at Sleeping Beauty Castle starts at $100,000. So in comparison, a starting price of $40,000 for the Haunted Mansion Courtyard looks pretty reasonable! Although I may be biased to the entire experience since I am in the middle of planning my own Disney Fairy Tale Wedding on the Disney Wish.
Other Disney Haunted Mansion Wedding Options
You can also book the Magnolia Park Terrace in Disneyland, which is adjacent to the Haunted Mansion and offers the ceremony in front of this terrace with the Haunted Mansion in the background. The price for this location starts at $35,000 and can accommodate 32 guests. This venue also includes a celebratory ride on the Disneyland Railroad post-ceremony to Main Street, U.S.A. for you & your wedding guests.

You can also get married at the Haunted Mansion Parlor onboard the Disney Destiny. This Disney Fairy Tale Wedding venue can accommodate up to 25 wedding guests, including the couple. This is considered a Disney Cruise Line premium onboard celebration, which usually starts at $5,000, with some of the Haunted Mansion packages reportedly starting around $6,000. This does not include the cost of your cruise, but this is still the most affordable Haunted Mansion wedding experience compared to the others.
