The event is part of the court’s ‘Forever Fridays’ initiative. It allows couples to get married at no cost as long as they have a Fulton County marriage license. Since 2023, the court has officiated over 4,500 weddings.
Chief Judge Kenya Johnson noted the popularity of themed weddings.
“We first received a single request from a couple to marry in costume and by the third request, we realized that non-traditional, costume weddings were ‘a thing’ and that we as a court should have some fun with it!”

Couples wishing to marry in costume can reserve the court’s Halloween-themed ‘Vegas-style’ chapel from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Those not in costume can participate in a mass public ceremony at 3 p.m. without a reservation.
Each couple is allowed to invite up to six guests to witness their ceremony. The ceremony is free for all couples with a Fulton County marriage license, which costs $56.
Fulton County Probate Court has previously hosted other themed wedding events, including those for St. Valentine’s Day, senior vow renewals, and Atlanta Pride.
