Spooky, Sweet & Seriously Cool: Get Married This Halloween at the Hobart Convict Penitentiary
If you’ve ever dreamed of saying “I do” in a place full of history, mystery, and just the right touch of spooky romance — this is your moment.
We’ve teamed up with the amazing Mary Figg, one of Hobart’s most loved celebrants, to offer a once-in-a-lifetime wedding experience this Halloween. And where better to tie the knot than inside the hauntingly beautiful Hobart Convict Penitentiary?
This is not your average wedding — it's an elopement or micro-wedding like no other. Think candlelit charm, gothic vibes, and rich Tasmanian history all wrapped into one magical (and slightly eerie) afternoon.
