    Couldn’t recommend this vendor enough!!

    We had the most amazing experience at Wavering Place. The venue is absolutely stunning. The owners are very accommodating and knowledgeable about the history of the space. They allowed us to come a week before our wedding and bury a bottle of bourbon which I really appreciated. The venue has spaces for getting ready that are beautiful and functional. I’m obsessed with the trees on the property and the lighting during sunset. My wedding pictures turned out beautiful because of the lighting coming through the trees. The venue has so many different spaces that allowed for different spaces for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The amount of space allowed our guests to spread out but still be present. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful place and better vendors to work with. You have such a breath taking entrance when you walk down the stairs to your ceremony under the trees. Every mentioned that moment throughout the wedding. I hope to rent out the space for an anniversary in the future and stay the night.

    Your wedding was a dream!!! Thank you for all of the kind words, It was such a pleasure hosting y'all!!

    Excellent and beautiful

    We held a wedding for 200 people at the end of April 2022. The venue was beautiful with an area for the ceremony, cocktail hour, buffet dinner, and large tent with the dance floor and band.. the grounds were beautiful and well manicured. Can’t be happier with our experience and choice.

    Thank you for all of the nice comments and sharing these gorgeous photos!! It was a spectacular day!!

    Words cannot explain how amazing!

    There aren't enough words to describe how professional and hospitable Wavering Place is. They made all of our dreams come true not only for our wedding day, but everything leading up to and after has been nothing short of amazing. Lisa is so easy and amazing to work with and so, so sweet. She woke up and made us a honeymoon breakfast the next morning after staying in the cutest kitchen house on the plantation grounds. I can't say enough good things about WP!

    Perfect Venue and Superb Service!

    Wavering Place and owners Lisa and Weston Adams offered the most amazing venue and experience for our wedding! The grounds, kitchen house, groom's suite, and pavilion are immaculately kept. Whether it was COVID, weather, or life's unexpected obstacles, Lisa approached each situation with professionalism, positivity, and encouragement! Her years of event experience at Wavering Place coupled with her cultivated relationships with local caterers, rentals, florists, sound technicians, band agents, and wedding planners made our experience easier to navigate and much less stressful - which allowed us to truly enjoy the entire weekend of festivities! There isn't one aspect of our magical day and evening that we would change! Kudos to this team of great people for providing the perfect venue for your most important day! We would highly recommend Wavering Place as the perfect place for your outdoor wedding or venue!!

    June 5, 2020

    Our experience with Lisa and Wavering Place could not have been better! My now husband and I were very worried with June approaching that we would have to postpone our wedding due to COVID 19. We were originally scheduled to get married indoors at another venue but with the pandemic we chose to move everything outdoors, just a month before our wedding date. Lisa was more than accommodating with the changes and quick turn around for our approaching date. We could not have imagined a better wedding day. This is a stunning venue with so much to offer! Highly recommend.

    Southern Beauty

    When we saw this location, we immediately fell in love! Everyone at Wavering Place was incredibly amazing to work with, and the setting is just hard to beat! Due to a family emergency, they worked with us to move up our wedding date, and were so accommodating! We had the fall wedding of our dreams - the gardens are immaculate, the charm is undeniable. It's just the perfect location for a wedding, and gave us that bohemian rustic charm we were looking for. We will forever be thankful for Lisa and her team!

    Absolutely Beautiful Venue!

    This venue has always been my dream wedding venue and it lived up to every expectation! I loved feeling like we had our own hidden gem that close to Columbia! From getting ready in the bridal cottage to dancing the night away in the green house, it was perfect! We highly recommend Wavering Place Plantation!

    Beautiful Location

    When we saw WP for the first time, I knew it was where we would get married. The beautiful grounds, breath-taking plantation home, and incredibly preserved Kitchen House made it the the perfect match for us. We held our ceremony in front of the main house and reception in/ around the Green Tree House. This made for a great setup as our guests moved easily from ceremony to reception.

    Overall, I would give it 10 out of 10 and would re-live that day in the same exact location if I could!

    Beautiful and Unique Reception

    We could not have expected any better than what we received with Wavering Place as our wedding reception view. From start to finish, Lisa was the most kind and helpful venue host that we could have asked for. By having our wedding on a Sunday, she was able to work with us on a price that met our limited budget.

    Her communication was prompt, and we always felt like she had our best interests at heart. Through our conversations we learned that we are actually distantly related, and she provided us with an antique map of Richland County after our stay in her B&B bridal cottage.

    She was thrilled when we decided to create a scavenger hunt of the plants on the property, and she provided us with many of the names of the plants at Wavering. And when it seemed rain was inevitable the week of the wedding, she organized for the tent from the previous day’s wedding to be rented to us at a significantly reduced rate.

    Fortunately for us, the rain held off for most of the reception, and we were able to experience the full beauty of Wavering with our closest friends and family. We could not recommend Lisa and Wavering Place highly enough. 5 Stars!

    Most beautiful venue & amazing people

    Best venue! Not only is it the most beautiful place, they are so accommodating and personable. Lisa and her team worked with me to make sure my day was perfect (even through a tropical storm). Could not have envisioned a better venue, a fairy tale venue, and your pictures will be amazing on the Wavering grounds!

    Wedding Venue

    I can’t even put into words how much I love Wavering Place. It was the perfect location for my wedding. It is absolutely beautiful all 4 seasons. I had my engagement pictures in the fall and bridal/wedding in the spring. And my pictures are amazing. Everyone is wonderful to work with. Shana is the sweetest woman and will go above and beyond to make you have the best experience ever. I would get married here over and over again. Please check out this venue, I promise you will not be disappointed.

    A Wedding Dream

    Wavering Place is THE MOST romantic, quaint, beautiful venue. When you are there, I swear time moves slower. Not only are the gardens and the home breathtaking, the venue is full of nature and so quiet at the same time (which I really appreciated for my ceremony!) The Adams family are an incredible group, some of the best people I've ever met. Shana specifically was an amazing help through my whole planning process, and someone I still keep in touch with now. Not only is Wavering Place amazing, but they have a great relationship with South Carolina's top vendors and that says a lot about a venue. They truly love their couples and will take great care of you, your special day is also so special to them!

    We LOVE Wavering Place

    Tucked away just outside Columbia is the most beautiful Plantation home with an abundance of giant oaks, magnolias and native plants. The gardens are breathtaking, and the Adams family is so wonderful! I remember seeing Wavering Place online and knowing this was our venue. As soon as we pulled down the driveway for the first tour, I got butterflies. You feel as though you're in a different world, and there was no doubt in my mind that this is where my future husband and I would be married. I mostly corresponded with Shana, and I cannot say enough great things about her. She was so responsive, caring and patient with us throughout the wedding process. I immediately felt at home when I met her. You will not go wrong with Wavering Place. Each wedding I have seen there has been unique to the couple and is stunning every single time. Don't hesitate on this one. It is the hidden gem that is taking Columbia by storm, and you will fall in love with it just as I have.

    I cannot say enough good things about this venue! Shana and the Adams family have been amazing to my husband and I from start to finish. Wavering Place was love at first sight for us! We love the Garden & Gun feel that this venue gives! If you love understated elegance and the outdoors, this is the venue for you! There are endless options to making this space yours to reflect you on your wedding day! You will also have a wonderful story to tell all of your guests to keep them entertained with the beauty and aesthetics as well as history that comes along with Wavering Place!

    We toured many venues but did not get the same feeling that we did at Wavering Place. Shana is so accommodating and goes above and beyond to make sure that Wavering brides have the best day of their lives! Her hard work and passion for Wavering Place really shows. A huge thanks to Shana for making our wedding experience an unforgettable one! You will not regret choosing Wavering Place as your venue!

    I'm not sure I even know where to begin with describing how fabulous our relationship with everyone at Wavering has been. From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we KNEW it was where we wanted to be married. Shana welcomed us like old friends, and we immediately fell in love with the "secret garden" feel of the grounds. Wavering Place is a hidden gem and exceeded every expectation I had for my dream wedding venue. Our guests have not stopped raving about the beauty of the house and grounds. With a venue as a stunning as Wavering, it is difficult to imagine a wedding there being anything but fabulous. Wavering Place will forever hold a very, very special place in our hearts and we couldn't be more thankful to the Adams family for preserving such a marvelous piece of history.

    This was the perfect venue for our special day! We were completely enchanted with Wavering Place from our very first visit and we quickly knew it was where we wanted to be married. Shana and her family are absolutely wonderful to work with - Shana was very accommodating of our requests and one of the most generous and welcoming people I have ever met.
    We had a spring ceremony in the garden and the setting went above and beyond our expectations. Our guests have been raving about Wavering Place and the beauty of the house and grounds. Wavering Place will always hold a special place in our hearts and we truly couldn't be happier with the entire experience.

    From the moment I inquired about Wavering Place, I received the most prompt and pleasant messages from the ever-amazing, Shana Adams. The property was my dream venue and the gorgeous pictures of the home do it great justice so I'll review the person with whom you'll be working.

    Shana has been dedicated to preserving Wavering Place from the moment she stepped foot on the grounds. Her love for the home and knowledge about the history and flora (she's a master gardener!) puts you in great hands. However, it's Shana's joy and generosity that truly helped my wedding become a dream. She is the most easy-going, on-top-of-it and gracious woman you will ever meet and I am so happy to revisit Wavering Place, not only because it was the setting for my wedding, but to see such an incredible friend. Thank you for everything, Shana, the Adams family and Wavering Place! You are forever in my heart!

    If you want a gorgeous wedding, look no further.

    We are so happy we picked Wavering Place as our venue. It is huge and can fit so many people, which was great for our 175 guests. It was also great to have flexibility with where we could have the ceremony and reception. The few downsides I would say are the price (but it's worth it) and some things that happened right before the wedding by the venue booking another event right after ours. But otherwise, it was perfect for what we wanted and was absolutely beautiful!
