About this venue

The Waverly is downtown Charleston, SC’s newest private event space and wedding venue, blending classic Southern charm with modern elegance. Opened in May 2025, The Waverly was intentionally designed to be elegant yet adaptable, a space that can be transformed to suit a variety of styles, tastes, and visions. The venue is anchored by the 3,000-square-foot Reception Hall, which opens onto The Porch to create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The space also features a charming outdoor Veranda and Garden, ideal for ceremonies or an intimate setting for cocktail hours. Two thoughtfully appointed bridal party suites, a full catering kitchen, and ample on-site parking ensure no detail was overlooked in creating a venue that is as functional as it is beautiful.

    We truly could not have had a better experience at The Waverly. From our very first walk-through through the planning process, event execution, and final wrap-up, Lindsey and her incredible team made every single detail feel effortless. The venue itself was absolutely stunning—beautiful, warm, welcoming, and the perfect setting for our guests. But what made the experience so exceptional was the level of care, professionalism, flexibility, and hospitality Lindsey and her team brought to every step of the process. We felt completely taken care of from beginning to end. We cannot say enough wonderful things about The Waverly and would enthusiastically recommend it to anyone looking for a truly special Charleston event space. We are already hoping to make The Waverly an annual destination for one of our signature events. Thank you, Lindsey and team, for making the entire experience such a pleasure. We absolutely loved working with you! Charleston Magazine Club
