About this venue

Blackcraft Salem is a one-of-a-kind venue nestled in a historic 1910 bank building in the heart of Salem. The original bank vaults remain beautifully intact and serve as a stunning focal point beneath “Nydia”—the largest witch statue in Salem. If you're dreaming of a wedding that’s equal parts gothic, magical, and unforgettable, Blackcraft Salem is the perfect place to say, “I do.”

  • BlackCraft/BORAH! wedding Vow Renwal

    I attended a wedding vow renewal at/in Black Craft Salem's haunt. We all walked down the "aisle" which was the actual haunt. We followed the "bride and groom" throughout the haunt to the very end where the actual ceremony took place. There were beautiful glowing candles everywhere and the lighting was perfect. The BCS crew was very nice and made us all feel welcomed. I have NEVER been to a ceremony as thrilling, fun and terrifyingly beautiful as this one. I could not get over the atmosphere it was McCabe and, exciting and eerie at the same time.... I felt like I was on a movie set. . EVERYONE who loves Halloween, horror and haunts in general needs to have every type of ceremony in this venue - NOT just weddings and vow renewals. BORAH! was the officiant and was the funniest thing ever, she roasted the couple and made us laugh so hard we neven shed a few tears. Thank you BCS for hosting such a remarkable space for this ceremony. I will be booking my wedding at Black Craft if I ever decide to tie the knot.
