Answer

Free on-site parking is available for guests at Wavering Place. Upon arriving at 427 Adams Hayne Road, please follow the signage and attendant directions into the designated lot. The parking area is a well-maintained gravel/driveway surface nestled amid the historic grounds, so you may wish to wear footwear appropriate for a lightly uneven surface. From the lot, a gentle walk will bring you to the Main House and ceremony/tented reception area—please allow an extra minute or two for walking from your car. If you require accessible parking or special assistance, please let us know in advance and a member of the venue team will direct you to the nearest convenient spot.
