Wedding Host

Couples searching for a venue on the NSW South Coast can only see so much from pictures and an inviting venue on the internet might not be as welcoming or cosy in person. And then there is the question of who will be guiding you and if it will be the same people throughout or a rotation of coordinators you have never met before. At Jaspers Berry, the unique charm you experience at our luxury wedding venue has been shaped over generations, beginning with the Magic Faraway Tree dating to around 1850 and the Old School House built in 1897. This sense of history is matched by a personal approach inspired by owner Rosi’s childhood in Rabaul, Papua New Guinea, where memories of colonial plantation homes, fine bone china and generous hospitality helped shape the venue she created. Rosi and her trusted colleague, Sue, will guide you personally from your first enquiry through to your unforgettable wedding day. Plus, you can exclusively hire the entire venue and grounds, so you and your guests never share the space with another event. The village of Berry also adds to the experience with its colonial streetscapes, acclaimed restaurants and access to Seven Mile Beach. Whether you are researching ‘wedding host’ or ‘places to have wedding‘, you can expect personal guidance shaped around your priorities.

The Colonial Garden Party has been at the heart of our celebrations for almost 20 years, with our Meadow to Table Philosophy contributing to 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 can bring your own wines, beers and spirits without a corkage fee as well, keeping both your drinks selection and spending under your control. You remain in control at every step, no matter if you have been looking up ‘wedding host’, ‘party venues for wedding reception‘ or ‘place for wedding reception near me‘.

For close family members or members of the wedding party who would like to stay a little longer, our on-site Jaspers Berry Guest House offers 8 rooms for up to 18 guests. Every room comes with air-conditioning, a bar fridge with refreshments, and tea- and coffee-making facilities, while the accommodation opens onto a central landscaped courtyard complete with a plunge pool. Come morning, house guests can spend more time together as they gather for a country breakfast. Jaspers Meadows also provides additional rooms approximately 1 km away in O’Keeffe’s Lane. The property sleeps up to 10 guests and features a sandstone outdoor fireplace, plunge pool and meadow garden. When planning around changing weather conditions, you can rely on our venue to operate across all 4 seasons. Within our precinct, The Orangery offers a fully air-conditioned interior and surrounding verandahs as an alternative when an outdoor ceremony or garden activity cannot proceed as planned. For added flexibility when you are exploring ‘wedding hire‘, ‘package weddings‘ and beyond, midweek celebrations are also available and can sometimes offer shorter lead times than peak weekend dates.
