Full 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.

A beautiful day
We couldn't fault The Compasses at any point in our wedding planning journey with them. Every member of staff that we interacted with was professional and helpful. The venue is stunning and won us over with the beautiful finish and eye for detail they have put in to turning it into a wedding venue. We would choose them again in a flash.

Lovely Memories for Years to Come!
We got married at The Compasses on the 15th October. We had the most magical day, it was everything we imagined and more. If you are looking for a venue with a difference and one that genuinely cares about your ideas and vision, then look no further. On first viewing the venue, we knew we wanted to get married here. It is cosy, unique, unspoilt and felt like home. The views and surroundings are beautiful. Sadly like many other couples, we had to postpone our big day from last year due to the pandemic. All the staff at the Compasses were so understanding, accommodating and did their very best to help us reschedule in what was not just a stressful time for us, but for them as a venue too -Thank you! In the run up to our new date, we met with Paul. He is so friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and has a real passion for his job. Nothing was too much trouble and immediately we felt like part of the family. On drop-off day we skipped out of the venue feeling so excited for our wedding. The day itself could not have gone any better. We were blessed with beautiful weather at a beautiful venue and were lucky enough to have all our loved ones there with us. We only wish we could do all it again! Thank you to Val for looking after us on the morning in the Bridal room, to Charlaine for only being an email away to answer all my questions, organising behind the scenes and to put my mind at ease! To Paul, for all your constant hard work, advice and making us feel so welcome. As a team and venue, you all deserve every success and we can’t thank you enough. We have such lovely memories for years to come. Laura & Ed xx"

Wish We Could Do It All Over Again!
Thank you so much to you all and everyone at the Compasses for making our wedding day so special. You all work so hard and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue. We had an amazing day and can’t believe it was over a week ago already. Just wish we could do it all over again!
