Antique Wedding

What looks impressive in venue photographs can feel entirely different when you visit and experience the setting in person. Especially when choosing a place on the NSW South Coast, that difference becomes important if you want somewhere personal rather than cold or corporate. The character you feel at Jaspers Berry is drawn from its history, from a Magic Faraway Tree dating back to around 1850 to the Old School House built in 1897. Equally personal is the story behind Jaspers Berry, as owner Rosi had a childhood in Rabaul, Papua New Guinea, which cultivated an approach influenced by colonial plantation homes, fine bone china and generous hospitality. Together with Sue, her trusted colleague, Rosi guides you personally from your first enquiry through to your unforgettable wedding day, so the same people are with you from beginning to end. As a luxury wedding venue, we offer exclusive hire of the entire venue and grounds, giving you and your guests privacy. Part of what makes the journey from Sydney so worthwhile is Berry itself, a village that adds to the experience with its colonial streetscapes, acclaimed restaurants and easy access to Seven Mile Beach. With us, you can expect warmth, generosity and wonder, whether you are searching for ‘antique wedding’ or something similar.

We actively welcome multicultural weddings on auspicious dates and we work respectfully with each couple to help ensure their customs are woven through the celebration rather than layered onto a fixed format. This can include the sacred fire of a Mandap, the Poruwa ceremony, Chinese tea ceremonies, Persian banquets and Afro-Caribbean celebrations. Couples can also supply their own drinks with no corkage fee, giving them the freedom to choose wines, beers and spirits that suit their guests. In terms of food, the Shared Platters are served ‘en famille’ to set conversation, generosity and the spirit of feasting at the centre of the meal. With our Meadow to Table Philosophy, our in-house chefs work with quality ingredients that are locally sourced as well as vegetables and salad leaves grown in the market garden at our sister property, Jaspers Meadows. In addition, two separate preparation spaces give both sides of the wedding party room to get ready. First, the Bridal Salon offers Hollywood Regency rooms with good lighting, full-length mirrors and a porcelain bath. The Gentlemen’s Club Lounge, meanwhile, gives the groom’s party their own space with personal steward service. You can also explore our wedding packages for celebrations of different sizes and formats.

For travelling guests, the Jaspers Berry Guest House can accommodate up to 18 guests across 8 rooms. Rather than driving straight after the festivities, your closest relatives and members of the wedding party have the option of staying on-site. Each room comes with air-conditioning, a bar fridge with refreshments and tea- and coffee-making facilities, while the doors open onto a central landscaped courtyard with a plunge pool. Additional accommodation is available at Jaspers Meadows, about 1 km away in O’Keeffe’s Lane, where a maximum of 10 guests can stay among a meadow garden setting with a sandstone outdoor fireplace and plunge pool. Generous parking is also available, with cars able to stay overnight at the owner’s risk. Plus, when searching for ‘ceremony venues‘, ‘small wedding location‘ and beyond, it helps to understand the costs involved. We outline what each wedding package covers right from our first conversation, though you may also want to plan for external costs like photography and videography, hair and makeup artists, floral arrangements, entertainment and the wedding cake.
