The Perfect Venue for weddings, corporate and social functions
The Italian Villa at Compton Acres
offers clients an elegant and stylish setting for celebrations such as weddings, bar mitzvahs, dinner dances etc.
Weddings
The Italian Villa at Compton Acres without a doubt is one of the most elegant and stunning locations in which couples could wish to celebrate their special day. Civil ceremonies, civil partnerships and wedding receptions are all enjoyed at this stunning wedding venue. See photos of some recent weddings in our villa gallery.
Comprised of three function suites arranged over three floors the Villa has a lift, which provides for full disabled access. All suites have independent heating and air conditioning, built in sound systems, radio microphones and broadband. The Verona and Siena suites also have built in audio visuals screens. Each suite can be hired individually, or alternatively the complete Italian Villa can be hired exclusively for the whole day, part day or evening. A few select days of the year are set aside for the exclusive hire of the Italian Villa and the entire grounds and gardens of Compton Acres.
Well appointed with lifts to all three floors, air conditioning, built in sound systems and speakers, a stage, audio visual screens, plus electric, telephone, and broadband internet connection points. The Villa’s superb facilities will enable clients to theme, or create a memorable event to celebrate their special occasion.
Bournemouth and Poole have many beautiful wedding venues, but the Italian Villa, with Compton Acres as its wedding gardens, has to be regarded as one of the best and possibly one of the more unusual wedding venues in Dorset.
