Destination Wedding Ideas

Finding a luxury wedding venue often means trying to work out if a place will really feel as genuine in person as it does in photographs, especially if you are choosing a place for its character. Here at Jaspers Berry, you will find a story woven into every detail. Since around 1850 the Magic Faraway Tree has grown on this property, while the Old School House has welcomed people through our doors since 1897, giving your celebration a heritage that no other wedding venue could replicate. Our approach to food and personal service has been moulded by years of welcoming couples as the first venue of its kind on the NSW South Coast, grounded in experience rather than whatever happens to be in fashion. And for an unforgettable wedding day, the entire venue and grounds are available for exclusive hire, so no other event shares the property while you are here. Beyond that, the village of Berry rewards guests who travel from Sydney or Wollongong with more to experience, with its colonial streetscapes worth wandering, celebrated restaurants to enjoy and Seven Mile Beach just minutes away. As you look into ‘destination wedding ideas’ or ‘destination wedding‘, know that our destination already has its own story before your celebration even begins.

Every celebration is different, which is why we designed our wedding packages to suit a range of guest numbers and occasions, from the Traditional Wedding Package for larger gatherings to the Intimate Wedding Package, the Minimony Wedding Package and the Elopement Wedding Package for smaller celebrations. At the heart of the wedding menu is the Colonial Garden Party, a feasting experience that has welcomed couples for almost 20 years, flowing naturally through the day rather than following a formal course structure. Guests are greeted with freshly made sandwiches and lemonades before enjoying a long canapé, a Vintage Gatsby Chocolate Bar, mains with return service, generous Shared Platters served ‘en famille’, and a late supper of ham, fruit cake, donuts, popcorn and port. Through our Meadow to Table Philosophy, vegetables and salad leaves are grown on our sister property and brought straight to our in-house chefs, ensuring quality local ingredients and exceptional service. Meanwhile, for wedding entourage prep, the Bridal Salon offers a beautifully appointed space with Hollywood Regency styling and professional preparation amenities. On the other hand, the Gentlemen’s Club Lounge provides its own character-filled retreat with steward service and an inviting collection of vintage treasures before the celebrations begin.

The venue hosts weddings throughout all 4 seasons and our spaces are designed to respond when the weather turns. With its fully air-conditioned interior and surrounding verandahs, The Orangery gives you a thoughtful and visually seamless alternative if rain affects your outdoor ceremony or planned garden activity. Brought together, the result is a setting that still feels like part of your celebration, not an isolated backup room. For travelling guests, the Jaspers Berry Guest House provides on-site accommodation for up to 18 guests across 8 rooms, allowing close family members or members of the wedding party to stay on the property after the celebration. Jaspers Meadows can also accommodate up to 10 guests around 1 km away in O’Keeffe’s Lane, with a sandstone outdoor fireplace, a plunge pool and a meadow garden setting. Plus, you can book your event for midweek, providing you with greater flexibility for celebrations.
