Our Wedding

Our love story began about 5 years ago at Arx Mortis Haunted Attraction. The both of us had been friends for a few years already but we had steadily grown closer together over time.  One day while working on a project at the haunt together, I (Courtney) couldn’t take it anymore and confessed my love to Mark after weeks of shy but flirtatious banter. To my surprise, it was met with a simple, “me too” with a wry smile and the rest is history!  In the summer of 2019, I moved in with Mark officially and the fun adventures ramped up from there! From Chicago, Owensboro, Atlanta, Nashville, and more we both love going on trips and visiting various haunts together! We also have our little furchild, Banshee whom we love dearly and one of our favorite pastimes is lazy days all together as a family.  After many many times of people referring to us as husband and wife we both jokingly would ask one another, “oh yea.. so when are we getting hitched?” Then on February 11th 2023, after an evening of haunting for Arx’s “My Bloody Valentine” event, Mark decided to pop the question! Gathered around, we had so many of our friends (even some of the out of towners) who were all there to celebrate with us!  Now here we are, getting ready for the wedding itself and we can’t wait! Thank you for taking time to read this and we hope to see you on March 2nd 2024

For those of you who are not really into spooky stuff I wanted to give you guys an extra disclaimer so you would be well informed :)  The ceremony and reception will both be at Arx Mortis Haunted Attraction. However, I have had several people ask if they will encounter “scary” stuff going to the wedding. As far as that goes, both the ceremony and reception space will be in an area that isn’t around the maze itself. Therefore, there’s no animatronics or full scary scenes to worry about. The maze itself is further away from these spaces. I wanted to give full disclosure about what will be there though. There will be some spooky decor elements and the style itself is dark, gothic, victorian, with lots of black and reds. There might even be a gargoyle or two in the mix! The easiest description I’ve given lately is imagine yourself stumbling into the West Wing of the Beast’s castle in the Disney movie, “Beauty and the Beast.” So it definitely has a tinge of spooky but it’s not overtly horror. We also plan to have some various effects in the ceremony like spooky audio, fog, cobwebs, dark lighting, etc. There is also a portion in the ceremony where haunt sliders will fly some sparks down the aisle ;)  If any of the fore-mentioned things make you uncomfortable, you may need to consider not coming to the event. In addition, while we love your children, due to the nature of the event we are asking that this is a child free space. We would love to have everyone attend but we also understand spooky stuff isn’t necessarily everyone’s jam!

Q + A

Address of Venue 

Arx Mortis 4051 US-72 Killen, AL 35645

Where to go

The ceremony will be taking place on the right side of the property. Look for the Spark- eventure Park (purple building) entrance to the right of the ticket booth. There will be a welcome sign with florals, and balloons around to help visually guide too. Then you just follow the path along until you reach the ceremony area next to the 4D theater. Reception wise, that will also be happening on site. That will take place on the leftmost side of the property over at the putt putt course. After the ceremony comes to a close, follow the stone pathway through Spark Eventure Park (you’ll pass by a castle structure) and follow until you reach the reception tent in the open grassy field by the putt putt course and go kart track.
