Cocktail Style Reception

Many couples discover that planning an unforgettable wedding day is about far more than finding a beautiful setting. How a venue handles rainy days, where your travelling guests will comfortably sleep and whether your cultural traditions will be truly understood can often matter just as much as the ceremony itself. At Jaspers Berry, owner Rosi and her trusted colleague Sue listen and work with you from your first enquiry through to the wedding itself, giving you the reassurance of familiar faces who understand your priorities without passing you between different contacts. Built in 1897, the Old School House marked the beginning of our story, and we still greet couples with the same warmth and thoughtful hospitality. Since around 1850, the Magic Faraway Tree has stood over our grounds, a cherished landmark that adds to the character beyond the heritage buildings. Plus, when you and your guests arrive, you have the entire luxury wedding venue to yourselves through exclusive hire, allowing complete privacy. The village of Berry itself is also part of what makes the trip worthwhile, with its colonial streetscapes, acclaimed restaurants and access to Seven Mile Beach. Whether you’re interested in ‘cocktail style reception’ or ‘cocktail weddings‘, our place has its own character that brings wonder to every moment of the event.

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. For the wedding menu, the Colonial Garden Party is a feasting experience that has welcomed couples for nearly 20 years, unfolding throughout the day rather than arriving as a series of formal courses. Your guests begin with freshly made sandwiches and lemonades, then move through a long canapé, a Vintage Gatsby Chocolate Bar, mains with return service, generous Shared Platters served en famille, and a late supper of donuts, popcorn, ham, fruit cake 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. If you’re looking into ‘cocktail style reception’, ‘cocktail style weddings‘ or ‘wedding venues robertson NSW‘, you’ll find our packages are versatile enough to suit your preferences.

When the celebration comes to a close, your closest family and friends can stay on-site in the Jaspers Berry Guest House, where 8 rooms accommodate up to 18 guests around a landscaped courtyard with a plunge pool, before gathering again for a country breakfast the following morning. Additional guests can stay at Jaspers Meadows when more space is needed; it’s around 1 km away in O’Keeffe’s Lane in a peaceful meadow setting, where accommodation is available for up to 10 people. Clear package inclusions make planning easier from the beginning, helping you factor in additional external costs such as a wedding cake, entertainment, photography and videography, and hair and makeup artists. The Orangery, together with its surrounding verandas, also offers a comfortable all-weather setting where your celebration can carry on comfortably if the conditions change without feeling like a compromise. Choosing a midweek celebration gives couples more flexibility when their preferred date or traditions don’t fall on a weekend. Whether you’re interested in ‘wedding destination wedding‘ or ‘garden for wedding ceremony near me‘, you can schedule a viewing to explore the grounds, preparation rooms, accommodation and wet weather spaces.
