Craig Conover and Austen Kroll are trading cocktails for champagne toasts with their newest venture in Charleston’s vibrant wedding scene. Best known for their antics on Bravo’s Southern Charm, the reality TV duo (and longtime business partners) just revealed they’ve teamed up to open a brand-new wedding and event venue in the heart of downtown Charleston: The Waverly.
Their big reveal came on Instagram, where they shared:
“Big things keep happening… 💍✨ We’re proud to be part of bringing @thewaverlychs to life, Charleston’s newest downtown wedding & event venue.”
Introducing The Waverly: Where Southern Charm Meets Modern Elegance
Tucked away on Stuart Street, The Waverly officially opened its doors in May 2025. Operated by Uptown Hospitality Group, the space was designed with one clear mission: create a stunning yet functional venue that reflects the effortless elegance Charleston is known for.
Couples looking to say “I do” in the Holy City will find plenty to love, including:
- A 3,000-square-foot reception hall filled with natural light
- An attached covered porch that flows seamlessly into the outdoors
- A manicured garden perfect for ceremonies, cocktail hours, or golden hour photos
- Two on-site getting ready suites
- A full catering kitchen for seamless vendor coordination
It’s a setting that feels polished but not pretentious—ideal for a wide range of weddings, from low-country-chic to downtown glam.
Designed with Real Couples in Mind
We’ve known Charleston is a top destination for weddings, but finding a beautiful venue that’s both central and budget-conscious isn’t always easy. That’s where The Waverly sets itself apart. Created to be a more attainable option in the downtown market, this venue offers the convenience of hosting your entire celebration in one place—ceremony, reception, and even the afterparty—without sacrificing style or (Southern) charm! For couples seeking simplicity without compromise, it’s a win-win.
The Verdict? We’re Smitten
