Nestled in the heart of rural North Essex, The Compasses at Pattiswick is an idyllic countryside wedding venue. Twenty minutes from Colchester and Stanstead Airport, this bespoke venue is ideally suited to both couples living locally and those travelling from London and further afield.

With an impressive array of regional and national awards, the team at The Compasses specialise in tailoring your wedding day to suit your requirements. No request is too much effort and feedback from couples highlight the special bonds built with the team at this boutique, family run venue.

Facilities and Capacity

With spectacular views across the Essex countryside, The Compasses offers a well-balanced blend of traditional rustic and contemporary charm. With every wedding offered exclusive use, the layout allows for weddings of up to 120 and yet equally suits more intimate gatherings of 30 guests.

With your wedding day starting in the contemporary yet comfortable Bridal Preparation Suite, the building lends itself to a sense of feeling at home, aided by the welcoming nature of the small but experienced and professional team.

Services Offered

This is where The Compasses truly excels. From the moment you first visit, there is an overriding feeling that you are the only couple getting married there. There is no risk of forced packages or formulaic wedding schedules here. Throughout the planning process you have unrestricted access to your wedding coordinator and, on an Open Day visit, a real sense that the entire team are genuinely looking forward to sharing your wedding day with you.
