WEB EXTRA: Chapel In The Woods At The Guesthouse At Graceland

What a lovely ceremony! HBG Design is honored to take part in redesigning one of the most iconic wedding destinations around. So glad we got to be there for the grand opening of the new Chapel in the Woods at The Guest House at Graceland™.  The first ceremony in the new chapel took place during Elvis Week 2018, the 2,000th wedding ceremony to be held at Graceland, along with a renewal of vows by 10 couples who met at Graceland© or during Elvis Week. The vow renewal was captured in the WEB EXTRA below.

The Kirk Bobo Creating Impact Grant designs a new entry experience at Treadwell Middle School in Memphis’ The Heights neighborhood!

HBG Design is excited to share our new legacy program in honor of retired founding partner, Kirk Bobo. This employee engagement and volunteer initiative is dedicated to creating impact in our Memphis community. HBG Design employees have been bringing their talent and strength to creating a positive impact in the heart of the community.

This year, HBG Design and the Kirk Bobo Creating Impact Grant were thrilled to partner with Heights CDC to give local Treadwell Middle School a fresh new entry experience – just in time for the new school year! 

The abstracted eagle feather mural inside the main entrance boldly represents Treadwell’s school colors and mascot. The greenspace adjacent to the front entrance now has custom-made benches and planters where students can gather before and after school – the perfect location for face-to-face interaction. Students will be filled with school spirit each time they enter!

The Kirk Bobo Creating Impact Grant committee and HBG Design volunteers have spent over 300 hours developing the new improvements at Treadwell. We look forward to a continued relationship with the Heights community and Treadwell Middle School.

And thanks to Local Memphis for highlighting this awesome project in this WEB EXTRA!
