An Essex Wedding - May/June 2024 (Issue 116)

We loved that the ceremony and reception were in the same place and how friendly all the staff were. Joe and his best man also had a vintage look with tie bars and pocket watches. We instantly knew this is where we’d love our wedding to be. The Compasses at Pattiswick has a rustic charm open plan design surrounded by panoramic unspoilt views of the North Essex countryside. I actually have some info on my dress from the original owner! It was handmade for her by a Parisian couturiere and the lace was handmade in France. This lady got married in Beirut in 1969 and is still happily married today. I love everything vintage – it’s totally my style. 30
