Description

We are blessed with a wonderful location! A beautiful old building with contemporary design, perfect for intimate gatherings, a spectacular setting with uninterrupted views and a convenient location, only a mile from one of the most accessible roads in East Anglia. But these are qualities shared with many fantastic venues across the country. However we believe your wedding day is much more than a lovely view or an attractive building. It’s about people! From the moment you celebrate your engagement, your wedding journey is about sharing the most special day of your lives with the people around you. Making new bonds, creating new friendships and rekindling family ties. And that is why our first question will always be, 'what vision do you have for your wedding day?' We are not lovers of packages and we are not lovers of formulaic weddings or processing plants! Our role in this journey is to help you create the day you dreamt of and fit it to the budget you are comfortable with. Sharing your wedding day at The Compasses is a great honour for us. And we will never forget that.

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!! Since the wedding we’ve had so many people tell us how great the day was and what an incredible venue The Compasses is. We can’t thank them enough and wish we could do it all over again! 🧡

Our perfect day!

Our whole experience with The Compasses was amazing. From the moment we first viewed the venue we knew it was where we wanted to get married, it had such a lovely feel to it. Planning & organising our wedding was an enjoyable and stress free experience. Charlaine was absolutely fantastic with her help and support during the planning process, we were so grateful. Our wedding day was perfect! Jordane Della and all the team went above and beyond to make our day so special for us.

Our dream wedding!

We had the most amazing wedding day and everything was how we dreamt it would be. The staff were amazing and communicated every part of the day, every ask was done without any issues. Our guests commented how amazing the venue was and the day! We loved every moment & can’t thank the staff at the compasses enough for our magical day xx

Simply Outstanding

From the moment we met Jono at the Compasses, our minds were set. We didn’t bother looking at any other venues. We knew they would deliver and boy did they! It was the best wedding I had ever been to (always good when it’s your own!) and I think many of our guests would say the same. The communication from the team throughout and on the day was first class. A very personal approach. The food was superb (and plentiful) and the venue itself really worked on the day. Thanks Jono, Charlaine, Della and team.

Simply Perfect

We got married at The Compasses in September and it was simply perfect! I surprised myself how calm I was on the big day as all the stress had been taken away! The planning and set up was spot on and the compasses accommodated our choice of musician which just topped it all off! I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending The Compasses and if we ever renewed our vows it would 100% be here!

An amazing day made special

Had the most amazing day at the Compasses Pattiswick, and it shows in our beautiful photos. The overall experience and care from the team at the Compasses made our day very special. From the planning, to our food choices, drinks and the venue itself was superb. Nothing was too much trouble and this showed on the day as the team stayed with us to make sure everyone was welcomed, the day went ahead with no issues and our guests have said what an amazing day and venue. Couldnt be happier with the service and attention to detail to make our day special. Thankyou Charlaine for all your hard work.

Our perfect family wedding!

Jono helped us imagine our dream wedding from the very first second we stepped foot inside for a viewing. He took the time to ask us what WE wanted, not just offer us generic packages that ‘should’ work for us. Nothing we suggested or asked for was too much trouble! Charlaine took over the planning of our day and helped us move it all from a dream to reality, keeping us updated the whole time and answering any questions we had very quickly so that no extra stress was added onto us at all! Della was then in charge of making sure everything ran perfectly on our special day, including setting everything up perfectly and exactly as we had imagined it all. We were able to just float along in our little wedding bubble all day without having to worry about a thing, knowing that Della had it all under control. Every single person at The Compasses has been so so helpful and it is such a welcoming, family friendly environment there, with our two young children being made to feel comfortable and special there from before they even walked in. We had lots of children at our wedding too, ranging from tiny babies to pre-teens, and all were made to feel as welcome as anyone else. The family friendly atmosphere there was commented on by many of our guests and everyone at The Compasses at Pattiswick had a hand in making our day as magical as possible, it really was amazing.

Perfect in every way

The Compasses were the first venue that we visited. We spoke to a few others after but non came close to the feeling of warmth and care about our wedding that we got from The Compasses team. They supported us every step of the way to make sure that our day went exactly as we wanted. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Everything we wanted for our wedding

We had the most incredible day at the Compasses. The venue suited us to a T, perfect size for our 100 guests, stunning scenery, easy to get to, plenty of accomodation nearby and stunning, really fitting our style. Hearing from friends and family about their own wedding experiences, we were blown away by the efficiency, transparency of the venue, helpfulness, competency of all the staff and how friendly and attentive they were. Everything was seamless I couldn't recommend Compasses enough.
