Destination Wedding Destinations

Planning a wedding away from home brings questions that go beyond choosing a beautiful luxury wedding venue. Will there be somewhere for family members arriving from Sydney, Wollongong or beyond to rest and is there enough space to sleep everyone once the celebration ends? Couples from multicultural backgrounds often carry additional questions that deserve attention, too. Beyond the practical details, they may want reassurance that the venue appreciates their vision for the day, including its overall rhythm, the food and the significance of an auspicious date. Jaspers Berry meets these considerations with a property that offers a deeply personal touch, grounded in a culture of wonder, warmth and generosity. 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. Throughout your celebration, the grounds and property also belong entirely to you and everyone you have invited, thanks to our exclusive hire. And once guests reach Berry, they can explore acclaimed restaurants, Seven Mile Beach and colonial streetscapes, adding plenty to the trip down from Sydney. 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 ‘destination wedding destinations’, you will find generous hospitality at our location.

For wedding prep, the Bridal Salon gives you a quiet place to begin the day, with sumptuous Hollywood Regency rooms, full-length mirrors, a porcelain bath and a dedicated makeup and hair station for your own artists. Within the same property, the Gentlemen’s Club Lounge offers the groom’s party somewhere of their own, complete with personal steward service and curiosities such as a 1950s Whisky Cabinet, Oxford Canoe, Vintage Boys Planes, and Chesterfields & Tartans. Access to these rooms can be part of the wedding packages, helping ensure that neither side feels crowded or rushed. Then the celebration moves to the table, where the Colonial Garden Party menu has been a signature of Jaspers Berry for nearly 20 years. The eating starts with arrival sandwiches and lemonades, moves through a long canapé service and the Vintage Gatsby Chocolate Bar, and then into mains with return service and a late supper of fruit cake, donuts, ham, popcorn and port. Served through Shared Platters, the menu is designed for feasting, generosity and conversation. Our Meadow to Table Philosophy also brings vegetables and salad leaves from the market garden at Jaspers Meadows, our sister property. Whether you are interested in ‘buffet style wedding venues‘ or ‘boutique wedding venues‘, our amenities and offerings are ideal for weddings of various sizes and formats.

Should the weather change for the worse during your celebration, there is room to adapt. If the weather turns with rain or heat, The Orangery’s encircling verandahs and fully air-conditioned interior ensure you have a practical alternative and the outdoor ceremony or garden activity can continue. Our Guest House also helps keep close family members and friends on-site with 8 rooms sleeping up to 18 guests. Within the accommodations you will find air-conditioning, a bar fridge with refreshments, and tea- and coffee-making facilities in every room, each one opening onto a central landscaped courtyard with a plunge pool. Come morning, a country breakfast brings house guests back around the table, stretching your time together even when the main celebration has ended. For those needing additional room, Jaspers Meadows is approximately 1 km away in O’Keeffe’s Lane, offering space for up to 10 guests who can enjoy a sandstone outdoor fireplace, plunge pool and meadow garden setting. Guests will also find generous parking at Jaspers Berry, with the option to leave cars overnight at the owner’s risk.
