When you think of Halloween, you probably imagine costumes, candy, and maybe the occasional skeleton doing the cha-cha. But Alex and Matt real wedding at Historic Venue 1902 takes the cake. They took Halloween to a whole new level by getting married on October 31st, at the gorgeous downtown Sanford venue. Spoiler alert: It was just as amazing as it sounds.
Historic Venue 1902 is not just a pretty face; it’s an old-school schoolhouse with enough charm to make you want to enroll in a history class. With its elegant chandeliers, hardwood floors, and a brick exterior that screams “instagram photo op,” this venue was the perfect spot for Alex and Matt’s big day. They knew it was the one when they walked in and practically heard a choir of ghosts—er, angels—singing, “This IS it.”
For Alex and Matt, Halloween isn’t just a holiday—it was the start of everything. Their first official date was at Halloween Horror Nights, so tying the knot on October 31st was basically destiny. They leaned into the spooky season with a gothic, romantic vibe and costumes optional for their guests. Oh, and Alex’s brother? He showed up in a full Barney costume, proving that even dinosaurs can crash a wedding in style.
They skipped the first look, opting instead for the ultimate dramatic reveal during the ceremony. Alex’s favorite moment? “Walking down the aisle and seeing my husband for the first time that day.” Cue the waterworks (and maybe a tissue or two).
The reception was a perfect mix of romance and fun. Between the moody décor, the costumes, and the incredible vibes put on by Our DJ Rocks, it was a celebration to die for—but, like, in a fun way. Guests danced the night away under market lights and chandeliers, and we’re pretty sure even the ghosts of students past were tapping their toes.
Why They Chose Us (And Why We’re Blushing)
Alex and Matt found us through Our DJ Rocks and said, “We saw your photos and absolutely loved how the shots came out. When we talked to Kellie for the first time, it was like talking with someone you had known for a bit and felt comfortable with.”
Their favorite part of working with us? “How comfortable everything felt. Nothing really felt rushed, and the entire experience was really fun!” We’re not crying; you’re crying.
Pro Tips from Alex and Matt
Planning a wedding? Take a page from Alex and Matt’s book:
- Book early: “The more time you give yourself to pay things off, the less stress you will have.” Procrastination is not your friend.
- Delegate tasks: “Designate people for specific jobs so you’re not running around like a headless pumpkin.”
- Embrace the chaos: “After everything is over, you won’t remember if the napkins matched the centerpieces, but you will remember the love and laughter.”
Their wedding wasn’t just a day—it was a whole experience. From their heartfelt vows to her brother’s Barney cameo, every minute was full of their love and personality.
Thank you for letting us be part of your incredible day. Your wedding reminded us that love is a little spooky, a lot romantic, and always worth celebrating.
