Best Wedding Reception

Planning a wedding away from home brings questions that go beyond choosing a beautiful luxury wedding venue. How will you accommodate family members travelling from Sydney, Wollongong or further afield and is there enough room for everyone to stay the night after the celebration? And for couples looking for a celebration that draws on more than one cultural background, other details naturally come into focus. At the heart of it, they want to know that the venue will respect how their wedding is supposed to feel, the meaning behind an auspicious date, the pace of the entire celebration and the food that carries so much of the celebration. A property shaped by wonder, warmth and generosity, Jaspers Berry brings a personal approach to each of these concerns. Dating back to around 1850, the Magic Faraway Tree is yet another detail that roots this place in a story no other property can replicate. Exclusive hire also means the entire property and grounds belong to you and your guests for the day. And when people arrive in Berry, they have colonial streetscapes, acclaimed restaurants and Seven Mile Beach to explore, making the journey from Sydney worthwhile. As you plan your unforgettable wedding day, owner Rosie and her trusted colleague Sue will be with you from day one, helping ensure no personal details are lost as your plans unfold. So, when you are looking into ‘best wedding reception’, you will find generous hospitality at our location.

At Jaspers Berry, the Colonial Garden Party goes beyond a traditional menu, with a style of dining that develops throughout the celebration. For nearly 20 years, our signature dining experience has unfolded from arrival sandwiches and lemonades through a long canapé service, a Vintage Gatsby Chocolate Bar and mains with return service, then a late supper of ham, fruit cake, donuts, popcorn and port. At the heart of each meal, the Shared Platters arrive ‘en famille’, turning your table into a place of feasting, with conversation and generosity at the centre of the meal. The Meadow to Table Philosophy shapes every meal our in-house chefs prepare, where they serve quality ingredients that are locally sourced alongside vegetables and salad leaves from the market garden at Jaspers Meadows, which is our sister property. While the celebration is still taking shape, 2 dedicated preparation spaces let guests settle in and set up. The Bridal Salon features Hollywood Regency rooms with good lighting, full-length mirrors, a porcelain bath and a private boudoir dressing room. Meanwhile, the Gentlemen’s Club Lounge provides the groom’s party with their own space and personal steward service. With these amenities in mind, you can explore our wedding packages for celebrations of different sizes and formats, whether you are searching for ‘fun wedding venue ideas‘ or ‘breathtaking wedding venues‘.

When you have people travelling from afar, Jaspers Berry Guest House sleeps up to 18 guests across 8 air-conditioned rooms on-site, each opening onto a landscaped courtyard with a plunge pool. And situated approximately 1 km away in O’Keeffe’s Lane, Jaspers Meadows welcomes up to 10 guests for overflow accommodation. In our main location, ample on-site parking is available and cars can remain overnight at the owner’s risk, while taxis and minibuses into Berry should be pre-booked. There is no need to worry about the weather either, as The Orangery is ready to welcome you in any season with its air-conditioned interior. Dogs are welcome with prior arrangement and must remain on a lead at all times, so your four-legged family member can be part of the celebration, too. Your wedding package will be explained from the beginning when you contact us for clear pricing and planning, while you can consider external costs such as photography and videography, hair and makeup artists, entertainment, floral arrangements and your wedding cake separately. As you learn more about ‘wedding setting‘ or ‘ceremony garden‘, know that midweek dates are also available for couples seeking greater flexibility.
