Our Perfect Day

We had our wedding at The Compasses in August 2024 and it truly was a wonderful day. Jono and his team were incredibly helpful and welcoming, they really do care about you having the day of your dreams.

Charlaine was a pleasure to deal with, putting our minds at ease on any questions/queries we had. A massive thank you to Della and her team, who made sure the day ran smoothly. We used many of their recommended suppliers and they were truly wonderful.

The venue is so lovely, a rustic setting in beautiful surroundings with the most amazing sunsets. We would not hesitate to recommend The Compasses to anyone.

The most magical day ✨

The Compasses were amazing from our first meet, through all the planning, to the day.
Charlaine was incredible in making our day everything we wanted and then the team on the day made everything run so smoothly and flawlessly.
Nothing was too difficult and everyone understood our vision.
There aren't many limitations, they are so flexible, so it felt like it was all ours, a totally bespoke wedding.

Best day ever

From the moment we step foot at The Compasses we knew we had found the one.
Jono, Charlaine, Della and Jordaine go above and beyond to make your special day the best day ever.
They took the time to get to know James and I and made all our slightly unusual ideas come to life
The day was more perfect than I can ever imagine and can not thank the team enough for making it all possibly.
They took the stress out of planning and constantly put me at ease nothing was too much trouble. They make you feel like family!!

We can’t thank them enough and wish we could do it all over again! 🧡

The perfect wedding venue!

We chose The Compasses at Pattiswick as our wedding venue and couldn’t be more happy with our choice. The whole team, especially Jordane and Charlaine, were brilliant every step of the way. The support and advice they gave us was excellent. They were quick to respond to any and all questions we had and provided the most fantastic recommendations for loyal suppliers. Every part of the process ran smoothly, from the initial visits, to the well wishes after the big day. Jordane was there on the big day and was phenomenal, guiding us and our guests through the day and making sure everything was perfect. Couldn’t recommend The Compasses enough, thank you for everything!

Wonderful Venue

We got Married at the Compasses on Tuesday 29th Oct. Charlaine was amazing helping organise the day, every step of the way no matter how many questions I had it was never too much for her, all the way through to checking in with me after the wedding, she is a five star in every way they should be proud to have her as part of their team :)
The wedding day ran smoothly and the staff were very good at also moving things last minute if I needed any adjustments to times ect. The bridal room was just incredible to get ready in and have access to all day as a bit of a cool down zone for...

The wedding day ran smoothly and the staff were very good at also moving things last minute if I needed any adjustments to times ect. The bridal room was just incredible to get ready in and have access to all day as a bit of a cool down zone for anyone like me who can get overwhelmed.

We had a few issues with a few of our guest on the day unfortunately but the venue worked with us well to insure this had been dealt with as well as possible.

Sometimes I felt a few members of staff could have been a little bit more cheerful however I do also take some accountability that we had one or two difficult guests which may have dampened their mood. Overall they did make sure we had a wonderful day so I’m very grateful :)

Overall would highly recommend this venue!

The whole package

You really do get the whole package when you book a wedding with The Compasses!
We came to one of the open days, and as soon as we walked into the venue, we knew it fit the vibe we wanted for our special day. Everyone we spoke to and worked with, are all so friendly and helpful. Jono, Jane, Charlaine and the team helped us build and plan our day and it made the process feel so much easier. On the day, Della and Jordane were amazing and we don't think we would have been as relaxed and able to enjoy our day without you!
We were lucky with amazing weather for our September wedding and all of our guests had a lovely time! Absolutely recommending The Compasses at Pattiswick

Alexander Wedding ❤️

We got married at the Compasses on the 18th October 2023. Our day was magical, without fault and without doubt the best day of our lives and we can’t thank the staff enough who made it all possible. All of our guests loved the venue, food and little quirks that make this venue so special. We will treasure this day in our memory and hearts forever.

Thank you everyone at The Compasses at Pattiswick!

The most amazing day!

We had the most perfect wedding at the Compasses last week! The venue was beautiful and worked perfectly for our intimate wedding. The staff are really lovely and helpful, and the day went really smoothly. The location and surrounding area is beautiful and we captured some lovely sunset photos on the nearby field areas. Would highly recommend!

Wish we could do it all over again!

We had our day on 2nd August and it was honestly the most amazing day.
We felt really looked after from the start of the process all the way to the very end. I never felt like anything was too much of a problem and was impressed with how helpful everyone was.
Everything was laid out clearly, from prices to a timeline of the day so there wasn't any hidden surprises during our time.
The food, supplied by a local catering company, was absolutely delicious and was enjoyed by everyone.
My son ended up cutting his hand, which proceeded into him finally giving up and falling asleep. My mum was with him but wanted to watch our first dance,...

My son ended up cutting his hand, which proceeded into him finally giving up and falling asleep. My mum was with him but wanted to watch our first dance, and after asking for help, a member of staff sat in the bridal room with him so my mum could experience the evening with us.
it really is a relaxed place, you have the opportunity to have the day you want without any judgement or obstacles, and the photo opportunities were amazing. Our photographer was so excited and ended up staying late just so she could take more sunset pictures.
I wish we could do it all over again.

thank you so much xx

The perfect Venue

We recently got married here; all the staff were amazing, very friendly and welcoming and ran our day fantastically, a lot of our guests couldn’t believe how calm and chill we were on our day and thats all thanks to the amazing people at the compasses I cannot thank them enough and would recommend the compasses to anyone. Its private, stunning area, quite and if you want personal its the ideal venue.
