Reception Events

What photos you see of a venue online can be impressive, but it is only after you visit it that you get a sense of how it really is. Having worries about unforeseen charges or being handed from one person to another is common as your wedding date approaches as well. At Jaspers Berry, our luxury wedding venue has a character shaped by its history, from the Old School House built in 1897 to the Magic Faraway Tree dating to around 1850. Growing up in Rabaul, Papua New Guinea, owner Rosi absorbed the traditions of colonial plantation homes, fine bone china and generous hospitality and that warmth also runs through every detail of the venue. Rosi and her trusted colleague, Sue, guide you personally from your first enquiry through to your unforgettable wedding day, with no handoffs or change of contact as your plans progress. As an exclusive hire extending to our venue and grounds, the entire property belongs to you and your guests alone. On top of our venue, travelling guests will find even more to explore in the village of Berry itself, from colonial streetscapes and acclaimed restaurants to the wide stretch of Seven Mile Beach. So, whether you are exploring ‘reception events’ or ‘reception wedding reception‘, you can find a setting shaped by history, personal guidance and privacy.

Our Meadow to Table Philosophy includes vegetables and salad leaves grown in the market garden at Jaspers Meadows, our sister property, before they are prepared by our in-house chefs using quality locally sourced ingredients. That produce becomes part of the Colonial Garden Party Menu, a signature of Jaspers Berry for nearly 20 years, where Shared Platters place generosity and feasting at the centre of the celebration. Arrival sandwiches and lemonades give way to long canapé service, the Vintage Gatsby Chocolate Bar, mains with return service, and eventually a late supper of ham, fruit cake, donuts, popcorn and port. Before the celebration begins, the Bridal Salon gives one side of the wedding party a dedicated space to prepare. The Gentlemen’s Club Lounge, meanwhile, offers the groom’s party its own room and personal steward service. You can also choose from 4 wedding packages shaped around different celebrations, from the Traditional Wedding Package for 65 to 200 guests to the Elopement Wedding Package for up to 8 guests. For those interested in ‘reception events’, ‘venue for wedding‘ or ‘venue reception‘, you can also enjoy a Colonial High Tea experience with us if you book the Bridal Salon.

There is no need to think about late-night logistics when your family members and friends can stay nearby after the celebration. For on-site accommodation, our Guest House has 8 rooms that sleep up to 18 guests, featuring air-conditioning, bar fridges, tea- and coffee-making facilities and doors opening onto a landscaped central courtyard with its own plunge pool. For overflow accommodation, Jaspers Meadows is approximately 1 km away in O’Keeffe’s Lane and sleeps up to 10 more guests. A sandstone outdoor fireplace, plunge pool and meadow garden are all part of this lovely setting. Before your party leaves the following morning, a country breakfast at Jaspers Berry gathers your family and friends around the table one more time. Once you are ready to explore how the spaces, accommodation and finer details could shape your celebration, a private viewing gives you the opportunity to see everything firsthand and share your priorities with us.
