Shared Platters Wedding

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. The details at Jaspers Berry tell a story the moment you arrive. The Old School House dates back to 1897, while the Magic Faraway Tree has stood on the property since around 1850, adding history that cannot simply be recreated for another wedding. As the first venue of its kind on the NSW South Coast, we have shaped intimate celebrations through years of welcoming couples, with an approach to food and personal service that comes from experience rather than passing trends. 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. To add to that, the journey from Sydney or Wollongong brings your guests to Berry, a village with colonial streetscapes, renowned restaurants and Seven Mile Beach ready to be explored. As you look into ‘shared platters wedding’ or ‘byo wedding venues‘, know that our destination already has its own story before your celebration even begins.

At the centre of every celebration for almost 20 years, the Colonial Garden Party draws on our Meadow to Table Philosophy to deliver a consistently high standard of catering. The feast moves from fresh lemonades and arrival sandwiches through long canapés, Shared Platters enjoyed ‘en famille’, generous mains with return service and a Vintage Gatsby Chocolate Bar before finishing with a late supper of fruit cake, popcorn, ham, port and donuts. Beyond the menu, our wedding packages offer curated options for every style of celebration, from the Traditional Wedding Package and Intimate Wedding Package to the Minimony Wedding Package and Elopement Wedding Package, so you can be sure that we offer the flexibility you need as you plan your big day. For wedding day prep, the Bridal Salon provides an elegant retreat with Hollywood Regency interiors and dedicated spaces for your hair and makeup artists. Meanwhile, the Gentlemen’s Club Lounge creates its own atmosphere with personal steward service, a 1950s Whisky Cabinet and other amenities for a relaxed start to the day. You are also welcome to bring your own wines, beers and spirits without any corkage fee, giving you full control over your drink selection and budget. You remain in control at every step, no matter if you have been looking up ‘shared platters wedding’, ‘byo food wedding venues‘ or ‘byo wedding venues Sydney‘.

For guests travelling from far locations, having somewhere comfortable to stay close to the celebration can make the whole experience feel easier. For on-site accommodation, the Jaspers Berry Guest House sleeps up to 18 guests across 8 rooms, with air-conditioning, bar fridges with refreshments, and tea- and coffee-making facilities included. Each lets you step straight into a central landscaped courtyard with a plunge pool, while close family and friends can share the table once more with a country breakfast the morning after the wedding. For additional accommodation, Jaspers Meadow is approximately 1 km away in O’Keeffe’s Lane and sleeps up to 10 guests, so feel free to contact us when you have the headcount. At the owner’s risk, cars can remain overnight in the spacious parking area and a pre-booked taxi or minibus from the town reaches Jaspers Berry in around 5 minutes. For a wet-weather option, The Orangery and the verandahs around it give you a carefully planned alternative, fully air-conditioned for comfort no matter the time of year.
