Two Longtime Friends, One Goal…
The founders of Hitched, Shelby and Terri, have been friends for a long time. They met while they were working and living in Venezuela many years ago (30+) and have been friends ever since. They always wanted to do a business together but, for years, life got in the way and it just never happened. All of that changed in 2023 when Shelby had the great idea of a traveling chapel that would essentially turn every location into a potential wedding venue. When you mix that with a beautiful location like Western North Carolina, both Shelby and Terri felt that they were onto something big. Thus, Hitched Traveling Chapel was born!
A New Life for an Old Horse Trailer…
Coming up with the idea of Hitched Traveling Chapel was one thing, finding or creating the actual traveling chapel was another thing entirely. They knew what they wanted but it proved to be surprisingly difficult to find the right type of trailer. Eventually they stumbled upon a very old horse trailer (1950’ish) that had been recently restored by someone in Georgia. It was perfect! They acquired this trailer and with the help of family quickly began transforming it into the “traveling chapel” they had envisioned. After several months of work, it was finally finished and Hitched Traveling Chapel was ready for work:
The chapel is fully portable and can be placed just about anywhere. It comes with a steeple top that removes for travel and six portable pews that can be placed out in front of the chapel. It is perfect for that unique photoshoot or an actual wedding at a location where there isn’t an existing chapel (think Blue Ridge Parkway). It can literally transform any location into a wedding venue!
