Wedding Setting

Planning a wedding away from home brings questions that go beyond choosing a beautiful luxury wedding venue. Where will family members travelling from Sydney, Wollongong or other places stay and will there be enough room to sleep everyone after the celebration? For couples from multicultural backgrounds, there are other considerations to keep in mind as well. At the heart of it, they want to know that the venue will respect how their wedding is supposed to feel, the meaning behind an auspicious date, the pace of the entire celebration and the food that carries so much of the celebration. A property shaped by wonder, warmth and generosity, Jaspers Berry brings a personal approach to each of these concerns. The Magic Faraway Tree has stood here since around 1850, giving this place a sense of character that cannot easily be re-created in another setting. For your stay, exclusive hire also gives you and your guests private use of the entire property and grounds. 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 ‘wedding setting’, you will find generous hospitality at our location.

Actively accommodating multicultural weddings on auspicious dates, we respectfully work with each couple to incorporate their traditions into the celebration instead of treating them as add-ons to a fixed format. These can include the sacred fire of a Mandap, the Poruwa ceremony, Persian banquets, Chinese tea ceremonies and Afro-Caribbean celebrations. There is also no corkage fee on drinks, so couples can freely choose and bring their own wines, beers and spirits according to their guests’ tastes. When it comes to food, the Shared Platters are served ‘en famille’ to place conversation, generosity and feasting together at the centre of the meal. With our Meadow to Table Philosophy, our in-house chefs work with quality ingredients that are locally sourced as well as vegetables and salad leaves grown in the market garden at our sister property, Jaspers Meadows. In addition, two separate preparation spaces give both sides of the wedding party room to get ready. First, the Bridal Salon offers Hollywood Regency rooms with good lighting, full-length mirrors and a porcelain bath. The Gentlemen’s Club Lounge, meanwhile, gives the groom’s party their own space with personal steward service. You can also explore our wedding packages for celebrations of different sizes and formats.

Wet weather can occasionally impact an outdoor ceremony or a planned garden activity. With this, Jaspers Berry operates across all 4 seasons, given that The Orangery’s fully air-conditioned interior and surrounding verandahs offer a practical and visually considered alternative if conditions change. Such spaces mean you do not need to depend on a purely functional backup room that feels out of place compared to the rest of the celebration. For guests staying on-site, the Jaspers Berry Guest House has 8 rooms for up to 18 guests, allowing close family members or members of the wedding party to stay the night after the celebration. Beyond that, additional space is available at Jaspers Meadows, approximately 1 km away in O’Keeffe’s Lane, with room for up to 10 guests, a sandstone outdoor fireplace, plunge pool and meadow garden setting. If you have been looking up ‘botanic gardens wedding‘ or ‘country themed wedding venues‘ hoping to find the right setting for your wedding, midweek dates are also available and can provide greater flexibility and shorter lead times when planning your celebration.
