Nine couples married Halloween at a historic Delaware, Ohio jail turned wedding venue.

Nine couples married on Halloween at a historic 1878 former county jail in Delaware, Ohio, now operated by the Delaware County Historical Society. The venue, which served as a jail until 1988, was decorated for Halloween with pumpkins, spider webs, and themed photo ops, including mugshot-style portraits. Court officials, in costumes, hosted the ceremonies as part of a regular wedding series held every other Friday, with a limit of 10 weddings—nine couples attended. Couples chose the spooky setting for its unique atmosphere and personal ties to Halloween, with some planning post-ceremony trick-or-treating. The event highlights the building’s transformation from a place of confinement to a celebration venue.
