Razberry’s is a local business that I pass every time I make a trip down the road to Flemington. I finally found their website online and I wanted to do a short story on them. This modern wedding venue is located in the country on Route 12 in Baptistown, New Jersey, which is about half way between Flemington and Frenchtown.

Razberry’s has recently been remodeled and features a banquet hall that can accommodate up to 250 guests for a formal sit down banquet, an atrium and an outdoor patio with a fountain. Other notable features include: “a wooden dance floor, rich carpeting, mirrored accents are highlighted by three grand chandeliers, lighted column walls and French doors”.

You can visit Razberry’s online Here.

Note: There are several confusing things about Razberry’s, and the most important one is that their name is spelled with a z. It is Razberry’s not Raspberry’s or Raspberrys. Another things that is confusing about them is their actual address. Online it is listed as either 785 Route 12 in Flemington, or 834 Route 12 in Frenchtown. On their own website, neither of these addresses are used and they give you a post office box. (Post Office Box 167 in Baptistown).

If you are want directions to Razberrys-Raspberrys, these directions are from Google, and take you from Liberty Village in Flemington on Church Street to the conference center on Route 12:

1. Head south on Church St toward Stangl Rd 492 ft
