You are all so good at what you do!
We aren't sure where to start in expressing our thanks & gratitude to you all for making our wedding day unbelievably perfect. The whole day ran without a hitch, that was all because of your careful planning, organisation, attention to detail. We had amazing feedback on the food, the grounds, gardens & staff at the venue. A massive thanks to Lauren for showing us around the venue 18 months ago &answering our thousand questions via email ever since. Also, a hug to Bianca who was a pure angel!

Magical day!
My husband & I had the most magical day in June for our wedding here at the Italian villa, we travelled 3 hours for this venue & it was well worth it. Everything from start to finish was PERFECT - from Lauren helping planning to Bianca running the day. All our family & friends complemented on the whole day including how amazing the food was. Nothing to too much trouble and all the staff were all so lovely and helpful. Thank you to everyone for making our day so special 💕

Thank you for making our wedding the best day
We recently married at the Italian Villa and it really was the most perfect day. The weather was glorious which obviously helped, but the venue itself is stunning and could fool you in to thinking you actually are in Italy. Our guests couldnt believe how beautiful it was. Hannah and Lauren were great and always on hand to answer our questions in the lead up to the wedding and on the day Bianca and Kiki were amazing!

We felt as though the team were on hand to help us
My husband and I had the most amazing wedding day. Lauren, Bianca and the whole team made our experience very enjoyable and stress free. Everything was perfect from the little details to the big. Lauren communicated quickly and answered any silly question I had to put my mind at ease & Bianca set up all of our tables on the wedding day and was a perfectionist in making our dream become a reality. Our food was also exceptional and all of our guests said how fantastic it was.

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Italian Villa at Compton Acres?

A direct quote from our Events Manger "That's a hard one, we've done so many cracking weddings!" One that really stands out was an Indian Wedding where the Groom arrived on horseback! Apparently it was meant to be an Elephant... Can you even imagine! #aladdinvibes

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Make sure you are giving yourselves enough time to take everything in, your day will fly by and can be a little overwhelming! Don't rush your timings and try and get just 5 minutes alone for the two of you a few times during the day.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

One of our 2019 couples went all out and actually had a scent specially created just for there wedding day and had it pumped around the venue all day and evening. They then gave each guest a mini perfume as a favour so every time they used it afterward memories of there wedding day would come flooding back to them.
