The Italian Villa
Enjoy a flavour of the Mediterranean at this local hotspot. Set over three floors, it has all the charm and elegance of a grand Tuscan villa, large enough for lavish affairs, yet equally inviting for more intimate weddings. Set in 10 acres of manicured gardens, within the renowned Compton Acres, it’s an idyllic setting for romantic ‘I dos’.
The Italian Garden adds to the opulent feel, with its ornate fountain and spectacular sculptures. With full access to all the magnificent themed gardens and the picturesque courtyard, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to Insta-worthy big-day backdrops. And if you’re hoping for some seaside shots post-vows, the award-winning beaches at Sandbanks are only a two-minute drive away.
Licensed for ceremonies, you can tie the knot in the first-floor Verona Suite, joined by up to 140 loved ones. For larger gatherings, you can exchange vows and celebrate afterwards with a sit-down wedding breakfast for 180 family and friends in the grand surroundings of the Medici Suite. Afterwards make your way down to the lower ground-floor Siena Suite, complete with a stage for a live band or DJ and impressive lighting too, where you and up to 200 guests can party the night away in style.
