Filled with mischief and magic, love spells and spirits… Halloween is a perfect night for a festive offbeat wedding.
This seasonal Halloween wedding script includes a love spell, simple ring exchange, and traditional handfasting.
Inspired by the Pagan holiday of Samhain (on which modern Halloween celebrations are based), it includes a wedding altar, casting circle, a chanting spell in place of vows, and natural elements to celebrate the turning of the seasons.
Add additional witchy or Wiccan elements to your ceremony by adorning the altar with herbs, flowers, candles, and crystals. Gothic decor, devilish desserts, and a twilight start time will make for an especially memorable ceremony.
Add an invocation of spirits or offerings to gods, or amp up the campy vamp vibes and monster madness with a splash of fake blood, ghoulish music, a trip to the cemetery, or vintage movie quotes!

We know that writing a wedding ceremony from scratch can be a daunting process, especially if you’re officiating on short notice. To make things easier, we keep our Sample Script Library well stocked with wedding ceremony templates and sample scripts for you to choose from. These scripts are a great starting point, with sections to add to, leave out, or reorganize, as you personalize a ceremony.
Visit our seasonal script tab or pagan script tab to see similar ceremony inspiration.
Explore the origins of ancient Paganism and learn how to incorporate the magic of handfasting into your own wedding or commitment ceremony.
This deep dive into one of the most exciting trends in weddings is inspired by love stories that reach far back into the misty origins of human history, when Druids and Priestesses dispensed esoteric wisdom, cast powerful spells, and magic and nature were one-and-the-same.
Written and illustrated by AMM’s own Jessica Levey, this book is full of whimsical illustrations, and carefully researched and crafted stories and imagery that are your ticket to your own adventure.
