Compton Acres

Unbelievably perfect

"We aren't sure where to start in expressing our thanks and gratitude to you all for making our wedding day so unbelievably perfect. The whole day ran without a hitch, and that was all because of your careful planning, organisation, and attention to details..."

– Sophie, Google Review

The BEST wedding venue in Dorset hands down!

"We could not have wished for a better day, the organisation, layout, timings, attention and care from everyone was impeccable. Nothing was too much, communication was second to none and it actually turned out more glorious than we thought even though our expectations were already incredibly high. We are over the moon! Don’t give it a second thought"

– Yasmin & Cameron

This venue was a dream come true

"The gardens were perfect for cocktails and photos. The Italian Villa team were absolutely phenomenal. From the first viewing to picking up our belongings the day after the wedding, every experience was positive and memorable. Family and friends have commented how clearly friendly, helpful and organised the staff were. They made sure everyone was included and catered for, even challenging dietary requirements and accessibility concerns. Truly a special place!"
