The Merribee

One of the anxieties in wedding planning for many couples is wondering whether the person who understood their plans will still be involved closer to the day. When coordinators change midway through the planning, you can find yourself restating your preferences and priorities to someone who should already know them. 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. You get a sense of continuity as your plans take shape because the people who get to know you from the beginning are there on the day itself. Behind this personal care is a story that stretches back to when the Old School House was built in 1897 and it has always been shaped by warmth, generosity and wonder, not something packaged. 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 ‘The Merribee’, trust us to provide personal attention from beginning to end.

You can bring your own wines, beers and spirits without a corkage fee, removing one of the less transparent cost lines from the wedding budget while giving you more choice over what beverages are ideal for your guests. This flexibility can work across our different wedding packages, including the Traditional Wedding Package for 65 to 200 guests, the Intimate Wedding Package for 30 to 60 guests, the Minimony Wedding Package for 20 to 25 guests and the Elopement Wedding Package for up to 8 guests. Additionally, Shared Platters served ‘en famille’ define the Colonial Garden Party, bringing conversation, generosity and feasting together around the meal. Guided by our Meadow to Table Philosophy, our in-house chefs use vegetables and salad leaves grown in the market garden at Jaspers Meadows alongside quality locally sourced ingredients. Both sides of the wedding party also have their own preparation spaces on-site, with the Bridal Salon offering Hollywood Regency rooms with good lighting, full-length mirrors and a porcelain bath. Meanwhile, the Gentlemen’s Club Lounge gives the groom’s party their own space with personal steward service. Whether you have been looking up ‘chandelier wedding venue‘ or ‘Greyleigh Kiama‘, you have the flexibility to shape different parts of your celebration around what suits you.

From our very first conversation, we walk you through what each wedding package includes so you can feel confident about the venue and accommodation component well before you make any commitment. However, you may still want to account for external costs such as photography and videography, hair and makeup, entertainment, bespoke floral arrangements and your wedding cake (which can also be baked by us). The Orangery gives you a considered indoor alternative for your ceremony, with air-conditioning across the precinct ensuring comfort even when the weather is not ideal. Your guests can stay close too, with the Jaspers Berry Guest House accommodating up to 18 people across 8 rooms, while Jaspers Meadows offers overflow accommodation for up to 10 more close friends or family members. Dogs are welcome with prior arrangement, so contact us when you want to include your furry friend. Ample parking is available on-site and cars can be left overnight at the owner’s risk, while pre-booked taxis and minibuses can make the approximately 5-minute journey to Berry simple. And no matter if you are searching for ‘flowers and weddings‘ or ‘weddings‘, our location is available for midweek dates, which is ideal if you want added flexibility.
