Don’t Tour Another Wedding Venue Until You Hear This

Welcome back to The Pre Nup, the podcast that helps you plan your dream wedding without losing your mind! This week, Adriana sits down with Francesca DiSalvo-Follmer, longtime planner and partner at The Waverly, the brand-new venue redefining what a Charleston wedding can look like. With 16 years in the industry, Francesca understands exactly what couples need—from flexible bar packages to trustworthy caterers to suites that don’t just look pretty on Instagram but actually work for wedding-day chaos. She shares the intentional choices behind The Waverly’s design and why modern, trend-forward brides are flocking to it. We’re also diving into Charleston wedding weekends—beach yoga, boat days, Uptown Social welcome parties, by-the-way after-parties, and Bodega hangover brunches. Consider this your ultimate Charleston itinerary.
