The most amazing venue
Our wedding at the Compasses was exactly how we wanted it, entirely due to the stunning surroundings and the fabulous people that work there. From our initial meeting with Jono we knew we wanted to get married there. He was friendly, helpful and didn't try and sell us things we didn't need - there were no hidden charges anywhere. We didn't view any other venues. Once we'd booked, Charlaine was amazing coordinating all of our plans, answering my endless questions quickly and promptly and allowing us to personalise our wedding as we wanted including having our much loved dog with us for the ceremony and photos.
We met our on-the-day coordinator, Sammi, at our final meeting and she was also amazing. She worked tirelessly to get everything set up for us, exactly as we'd planned and then spent the whole day making sure everyone was okay and everything turned out as we wanted. They even managed to give our 3 year old niece the confidence to walk down the aisle by herself - I don't know what they said to her but she was perfect. Everything was perfect and we can't thank the Compasses team enough. -

Natalie Sent on 28/09/2026A beautiful wedding day
We recently had our wedding at the compasses .
The venue was so beautiful and all our guests commented on how lovely it was and how it had such a warm feeling about it . The scenery was stunning and felt very exclusive to us , which just made us feel that bit more special on our big day .
The staff were second to none and we really felt they cared genuinely about all the details and how they could make our wedding bespoke to us, no problem was too big that they couldn’t find a way to sort it which we definitely didn’t feel at most venues we looked at .
I can’t recommend this venue enough, having sections where our children could play and other sections where older generations could escape the crowd for a while , while also being open and spacious for all our gusts was just perfect.
Not only was the venue its self Amazing but staff who work so hard to make everyone’s wedding day special are just the cherry on top of the cake . I couldn’t have imagined being married anywhere else . -

Sarah Sent on 20/09/2026Amazing venue with great recommendations made for the perfect day
This is a fantastic venue to book if you’re looking for an all inclusive, friendly and stress free wedding day. The bridal suite was a perfect set up for hair and make-up and meant we saved costs on cars bringing us to the venue as well as there being no stress in arriving on time for the ceremony. From start to finish the communication was excellent. We were able to customise our day including choosing drink packages that suited our guests as well as being able to have the music we wanted for the evening entertainment. We also had a fantastic recommendation from them on who to book for catering (Coggeshall Catering and The Meadow Table). The food was a highlight of the day. Charlaine and Jono were flexible and reasonable while also giving us great advice on what works and what doesn’t at the venue. The final meeting was a great part of the experience and we hashed out all the elements of the day and felt super supported. On the day we were looked after by Della who acts as a kind of wedding planner which meant we could just enjoy the day. She did a fantastic job. It was great value for money and all of our guests told us what a wonderful venue it was. We also got some amazing photos!! Thank you for making our day so special and stress free! Sarah and Dan x -

Kevin Sent on 09/06/2026The Compasses - Best Wedding Venue Ever!
We chanced upon The Compasses from another family wedding and straight away we knew it was somewhere special. The venue has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease, and throughout the entire planning process, Jono, Charlaine, Della and the whole team made us feel like we were the only people in the world, really supportive! And their recommendations for DJ (Amp & Decks), Catering (Coggeshall Catering and The Meadow Table) and Signage and finishing touches (Harrison Events) were spot on!
The wedding day itself was even better than our expectations. The setting was beautiful and every detail was handled with care and professionalism. What stood out most was how attentive and accommodating the staff were, not just to us, but to our family and guests as well, nothing was too much! They worked hard behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy every moment (and reminded us of what was next along the way!)
All our guests said what a wonderful venue it was and how seamlessly the day flowed, everyone's still talking about it!
Choosing The Compasses as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made. We are incredibly grateful to everyone involved for helping create such a perfect day. If you're looking for a venue that offers beautiful surroundings, exceptional service, and a truly personal touch, (not to mention very good value for money!) we couldn't recommend The Compasses more highly.

Erin Sent on 08/06/2026Best wedding venue!
The Compasses at Pattiswick is not only a lovely venue, but from day 1 you feel really supported and cared for by the staff there. It feels like a really personalised service compared to other venues we viewed. From the planning and lead up, to the running of the day, everything ran very smoothly. Everyone is so friendly and nothing is too much trouble.
We held our wedding here in May 2026 and couldn’t have asked for anything more. A special thank you to Charlaine and Della- they are both amazing and help make Compasses what it is. Thank you all so much for a perfect day!

Incredible wedding experience
We have so many positive things to say about The Compasses we don’t know where to start! We couldn’t recommend them enough, from the minute we viewed this incredible venue Charlaine was super helpful with everything throughout the planning process. Keeping in touch, sending over a range of suppliers and many other helpful suggestions, nothing ever seemed too much which made the wedding planning process very relaxed. Not to mention it’s extremely affordable and there are no hidden costs.
They let us take control of having our special day exactly how we wanted it all while making sure it was planned well, keeping it calm and exciting.
Della and the team were amazing on the day with ensuring everything went smoothly, making sure everything was set up to how we envisioned and ensuring we had everything we needed at all times.
We really couldn’t imagine our day going any better, not to mention the absolute stunning venue and surroundings. We cannot thank all the team at The Compasses enough for all their care and hard work to make our day so special and memorable! -
