We are so excited to have you join us at this venue that means so much to us. 

Emma has been coming to Dorset on holiday with her family since she was a little girl. As did her parents and grandparents before her. Now, it's somewhere special for us too. 

Back in 2015, when we got engaged in Italy. Tom got down on one knee, in the courtyard of Villa Carlotta on the shore of Lake Como. This venue is as close as we could get to bringing that little slice of La Dolce Vita to our nearest and dearest. 

The Italian Villa is set within the tranquil gardens of Compton Acres. This award wining tourist destination is Dorset's answer to Kew Gardens. Down for a few days and the weather is good? We can highly recommend a walk around their gardens. 

Located just steps away from the beaches of the Sandbanks Peninsula, this venue is perfect for anyone looking for a few relaxing days away. With any luck it will be dry and sunny, but even when it's blustery and fresh, the beaches and surroundings are still every bit as beautiful.

Parking:

If you would like to drive and park on the day of the event, you are more than welcome to. We have confirmed with the venue that cars are allowed to be left overnight (if you wanted to cut loose and have a few drinks in the evening)
