The Wedding Party

On the NSW South Coast, planning a wedding can involve questions about whether the venue will feel just as warm as it looks online when you visit and whether costs will be clear from the start. Accommodation and the logistics of bringing your guests together become just as important, too, if a couple is making the journey from Sydney, Wollongong or further afield. And for multicultural celebrations, there is the question of whether a place will understand the rhythm, food and traditions that make your wedding yours. Jaspers Berry is here to address these concerns, as our luxury wedding venue is built around the 1897 Old School House and shaped by warmth, generosity and wonder rather than a packaged formula. The journey from your initial enquiry to our final farewell stays in the hands of owner Rosi and her trusted colleague Sue, so the people who understand your plans from the start remain part of your wedding. For an unforgettable wedding day, the entire property is yours for exclusive hire, with no other event sharing the grounds. Berry itself adds to the occasion, its colonial streetscapes, acclaimed restaurants and proximity to Seven Mile Beach giving guests another thing to look forward to if they are travelling from Sydney or further away. So, when looking up ‘the wedding party’, we are a great destination to choose.

For almost 2 decades now, the Colonial Garden Party menu has become a defining part of Jaspers Berry and it remains one of the key reasons couples choose to celebrate here. The dining experience does not follow a rigid course structure but rather builds and develops alongside the celebration itself. It begins with arrival sandwiches and lemonades followed by a long canapé service, a Vintage Gatsby Chocolate Bar and mains with return service. Generosity and easy conversation define the table when Shared Platters are presented ‘en famille’ for your guests to enjoy the feast together. With our Meadow to Table Philosophy, our in-house chefs bring together quality, locally sourced ingredients with vegetables and salad leaves grown in the market garden at Jaspers Meadows. Beyond the dining experience, the Bridal Salon features Hollywood Regency rooms with good lighting, full-length mirrors and a porcelain bath, along with a private boudoir dressing room and a dedicated makeup or hair station. Meanwhile, the Gentlemen’s Club Lounge gives the groom’s party their own space with personal steward service and curiosities such as a 1950s Whisky Cabinet, Oxford Canoe, Vintage Boys Planes, Chesterfields & Tartans. We also offer flexible wedding packages to help you explore what is available for your celebration. This means that whether you are looking into ‘kid friendly wedding venues‘ or ‘wedding venues that allow dogs‘, you will have plenty of options to consider.

For travelling guests, the Jaspers Berry Guest House can accommodate up to 18 guests across 8 rooms. Close relatives and members of your wedding party can choose to stay on-site rather than leaving right away once the celebration winds down. You will find air-conditioning, a bar fridge with refreshments and tea- and coffee-making facilities in every room, as well as doors that open out to a central landscaped courtyard and plunge pool. For additional space, Jaspers Meadows provides accommodation approximately 1 km away in O’Keeffe’s Lane, sleeping up to 10 guests in a meadow garden setting with a sandstone outdoor fireplace and plunge pool. There is also plenty of parking, meaning you can leave your car overnight at the owner’s risk. Plus, when searching for ‘worrowing Jervis Bay‘, ‘small wedding location‘ and beyond, it helps to understand the costs involved. That is why we explain what is included in each wedding package from our first conversation, although you may also still need to consider external costs such as photography and videography, hair and makeup artists, floral arrangements, entertainment and the wedding cake. If you have questions about ‘wedding venues for small weddings‘, ‘themed wedding‘ or anything else, contact us through our enquiry form or call 1800 817 402 and arrange a viewing now.
