Berry is also home to churches of several denominations for those opting for a traditional church ceremony.

Additional services for your reception including cocktail and gelato packages are also available and will add a touch of glamour and fun to your event.

Our Lighting Packages include everything you could possibly need to create a magical ambience for your reception using candlelight, fairy lights and/or additional outdoor lighting.
Our highly experienced team will consult with you prior to the wedding day, and source fresh seasonal blooms, to complement your wedding theme or chosen colour scheme. Bouquets and arrangements will be freshly prepared on the day of your wedding, and our team will be onsite throughout the day to repurpose and restyle flowers from the ceremony location to the reception where practical, to reduce your costs.
Give your function some extra zing and sense of occasion by choosing from our cocktail packages including frozen, classic or premium cocktails. Drinks may be served in a casual setting on our lawn from our Caravan Bar during the afternoon, or from our more formal Silo Bar in the evening.
