#18: Inside the Industry: Running a Charleston Wedding Venue with Sasha Gregory

We brought in venue owner Sasha Gregory of 108 West Main and Complete Weddings and Events Charleston to help us untangle some of the wildest wedding-day challenges we’ve seen. Together, we walk through the moments that venues catch before anyone notices, the situations that make a wedding fall apart, and the small details that matter more than couples realize. Sasha’s perspective brings a whole new layer to the vendor conversation. A view that is real, refreshing, and hilarious in some moments.108 W Main Socials:InstagramTik TokFacebookComplete Weddings & Events:InstagramFacebook00:00:09 – Intro & welcome 00:05:40 – Vendor challenges shared 00:08:12 – Favorite bride moments 00:11:09 – Planning mistakes laughed 00:13:55 – DIY wedding tips 00:17:21 – Guest experience notes 00:20:30 – Venue walkthrough stories 00:23:46 – Photography insights shared 00:26:11 – Videography tips given 00:29:08 – Social media planning 00:31:02 – Content capture challenges 00:32:18 – Timeline creation advice 00:33:21 – Feeding media team 00:34:04 – Catering challenges arise 00:35:16 – Planner coordinates meals 00:36:46 – Unprofessional caterer story 00:38:56 – Communicate vendor responsibilities 00:44:13 – Photographer timeline issues 00:45:57 – DJs bring equipment00:49:55 – Florist pickup schedules 00:51:35 – Wedding safety caution 00:54:22 – Groom overconsumption incident 00:58:11 – Favorite wedding songs Got a story, rant, or planning question?
