Reception Marriage

It is a worry for a lot of couples that the person who first understood their vision may not be there as the wedding draws near. Being passed between coordinators can mean repeating your priorities and preferences when you should feel confident that they are already understood. At Jaspers Berry, owner Rosi and her trusted colleague, Sue, guide you personally from your first enquiry through to your unforgettable wedding day, with no handoffs or change of contact mid-planning. The people who get to know you from the start are right beside you on the day itself, so you get a sense of continuity as your plans come together. Our personal approach reflects a story that began with the Old School House’s construction back in 1897, shaped by warmth, generosity and wonder rather than a packaged experience. As a luxury wedding venue, we also offer exclusive hire of the entire property, which means you and your guests can enjoy our beautiful grounds without sharing with another wedding or event. Beyond the grounds, the village of Berry offers colonial streetscapes, acclaimed restaurants and access to Seven Mile Beach, making the trip from Sydney or other locations well worth it. So, if you have been exploring ‘reception marriage’, trust us to provide personal attention from beginning to end.

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. From there, the celebration finds its way to the table and the Colonial Garden Party menu, a signature of Jaspers Berry for close to 20 years. Starting with arrival sandwiches and lemonades, the menu unfolds into a long canapé service, the Vintage Gatsby Chocolate Bar and mains with return service, followed by a late supper of donuts, popcorn, ham, port and fruit cake. Through generous Shared Platters, the entire menu invites your guests to a meal shaped by generosity, feasting and conversations. Through our Meadow to Table Philosophy, the market garden at Jaspers Meadows, our sister property, also supplies fresh vegetables and salad leaves for your table. Whether you are interested in ‘top 10 destination wedding locations‘ or ‘top 10 wedding venues‘, our amenities and offerings are ideal for weddings of various sizes and formats.

We help you understand the venue and accommodation component of your budget before you commit by outlining what each wedding package includes from our very first conversation. We also encourage you to plan for possible external costs, from the church and photography to videography, hair and makeup artists, bespoke estate floral arrangements and the wedding cake. The Jaspers Berry Guest House provides on-site accommodation for up to 18 guests across 8 rooms as well, giving close family members or members of the wedding party the option to spend the night after the celebration. Inside each room, you will find air-conditioning, a bar fridge with refreshments and tea- and coffee-making facilities, with access to a central landscaped courtyard with a plunge pool. When extra space is needed, Jaspers Meadows accommodates up to 10 guests approximately 1 km away in O’Keeffe’s Lane, complete with a sandstone outdoor fireplace, plunge pool and meadow garden setting. If you are exploring ‘creative wedding venues‘ or ‘gay friendly wedding venues‘ for your wedding plans, you may know that midweek dates can offer greater flexibility and, in some cases, shorter lead times than peak weekends.
