The Italian Villa

We recently had our wedding at the Italian Villa and it was perfect! Of course the venue itself was as we imagined, absolutely beautiful. We found every member of staff that we came into contact with in the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself helpful, friendly and professional. Hannah originally sold the venue to us and we liked her instantly, then we liaised with Lauren a lot in the build up who was also brilliant and super helpful. On our wedding day we were lucky to be allocated Sinead as our coordinator for the day and she was absolutely fantastic at ensuring everything was perfect for us and our guests. As soon as we met Sinead (a couple of days before the wedding) we were thrilled she would be taking care of us on the day. Our coordinator for the evening was Kiki who was also exceptional, so friendly and willing to go above and beyond to ensure us and our guests were looked after. The food was absolutely delicious and we had lots of compliments from our guests to say that it was the best wedding food they had ever had! So compliments to the chef. We heard from our suppliers that the team were also great assisting them with anything they needed. Overall we couldn’t have wished for a better day or team of staff taking care of us and our guests so a huge thank you from the Bride and Groom!

Decent gardens, some nice flowers to look at and the landscaping was lovely, but just wasn’t for me.

What a venue, my local too! The team are always attentive and look after the guests well. The sunset falls across the pond so don't forget to make time to run out to catch the last of the sun for those epic wedding photos

As a wedding photographer I find The Italian Villa's gardens give me a lot of scope to capture wonderful images of my clients. There's always something new to see there as the seasons progress. I have to say the food is always pretty good too!

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. We had amazing feedback on the food, the grounds and gardens, and the staff at the venue.A massive thanks to Lauren for first showing us around the venue 18 months ago and answering our thousand questions via email ever since. Also, a huge thanks to Bianca who was a pure angel on the day, and it felt like another friend was there with us. She did everything and more. Also, a thank you to all those behind the scenes who we may not have met or spoken to in depth, such as the kitchen staff, the bar staff and everyone else.We will be back to visit you again in the future, as Compton Acres will always now be a special place in our hearts. You are all so good at what you do, and it doesn't go unnoticed.

What a wonderful setting for a wedding. Beautiful gardens, attentive staff and exquisite food. Particularly impressed with the catering team, who quietly and efficiently provided full table service to a room full of guests, without fuss or delay. I hope to be able to go back and spend more time in the gardens. We were there for 9 hours, and I don't doubt there's more I'm missing.

The grounds are lovely, but after seeing someone peering into my brothers wedding and taking a photo, I'm a bit shocked that privacy screens aren't placed where the public walk past.The men's loos also lacked a decent extractor fan, which I feel would have added to the comfort of their use, especially with only two stalls.

We had the most amazing wedding day at the Italian Villa. The venue and grounds are stunning. We loved that there is a different area for each part of the day and that there were so many different customisation options so our day felt really special and unique for us.From start to finish the whole team went above and beyond for us, Lauren was there to answer my many, many emails in the planning stage, nothing was too much trouble and she was always there when I needed her.The food was outstanding, better than any restaurant we've been to. We loved being able to tailor the menu to our preferences, bringing in personal touches to each dish made it so special, our guests loved the food too.The on-the-day team were equally fantastic, making sure everything went as smoothly as possible. Everything was dealt with so neither us nor our guests had a clue if something was wrong. We cannot thank you enough for how you helped us and managed the situation when one of our guests fell ill. Aside from immediate family, no one knew anything happened or even that an ambulance came. I truly feel that our wedding reception wouldn't have gone ahead if it weren't for your amazing team dealing with that situation how they did, we cannot thank you enough.

We had our reception and evening celebration at The Italian Villa. The location was fantastic and the guests all commented on how lovely the venue was. The service was amazing during the reception and the food was fantastic. The staff really looked after us and made sure we got to try every canapé. The only downside was they didn't slice the cake until we asked, which was really late at 9pm. Also the evening BBQ was inside and not outside. We recommend this venue as they replied to all my emails efficiently and organised the running of the day beautifully.
