Our Converted Country Inn

When arranging a wedding in Harlow, it is important to consider all aspects of the day. From the trip there to travelling home, there is a great deal to have pre-arranged in order to enjoy. One of those is your reception venue. While your actual ceremony lasts roughly 30 minutes to an hour, the reception is used for a much greater deal of time and is where you really get to connect with all your loved ones.

We Are Here To Help

When choosing amongst wedding reception venues in Harlow, it is vital to grasp the right setting for you as a couple. We pride ourselves on being laid back with what our customers can personalise and customise around our venue for the day but despite your own added touches, you want that base feel of comfort when you are having your reception. 

What To Consider

There are many different features you could consider, and each and every one matters. You could even discuss the colour of the area and if there will be great opportunities for photos there. Take a little look at our gallery to get a visual appeal of Compass Weddings inside and out. 

For some nearly-weds, having their ceremony and reception in the same place feels more seamless and personal. If that’s the case for you, you’ll want a space that reflects who you are as a couple and suits the different moods of the day. This could be from the moment you say ‘I do’ to dancing the night away with friends and family. Here is 5 pointers to keep in mind when choosing your venue:

  • Guest Capacity: Make sure the venue comfortably fits your guest list, with space for dining, dancing, and mingling.

     

  • Style & Atmosphere: Choose a venue that suits your wedding theme and feels like “you,” whether it’s elegant, modern, or relaxed.

     

  • Catering Options: Check if the venue offers in-house catering, preferred suppliers, or flexibility to bring your own.

     

  • Location & Accessibility: Think about how easy it is for guests to get to, especially if your ceremony is at a different location.

     

  • What’s Included: Ask what’s part of the package (furniture, decor, lighting, staff, etc.) so you can budget and plan more easily.

Picture-perfect moments for every couple

One of the best things about a wedding in Harlow is how effortlessly beautiful your day can look. The leafy gardens and cobbled streets are just one side, and with us, you can also see unique buildings and the countryside just outside the city, it’s a dream for photographers.
