As soon as we stepped onto it, we fell in love with the property. We were particularly charmed by the cabins and planned to stay in them with our closest friends on our wedding weekend. We later learned that after we had signed the contract, the owner had moved into one of the cabins that we had reserved and began living there. She neglected to inform us of this for seven months. The owner initially offered to help us book an Airbnb to resolve the issue but only offered to allow us to use all five cabins after we informed her that we would be changing to a different venue.

I had my wedding here in October 2023 and I could not have asked for a more perfect day. At first, I thought this venue was to big but even for my 50 person wedding it was absolutely perfect! I had my bridal party and family stay in the cottages which had ample space and everything you need. I really loved that we were in a gated off property to ourselves. The day of, the weather could not have been more perfect. It was such stress free and relaxing time getting ready while everyone else was hard at work getting everything prepared. The wedding itself was perfect. We had the ceremony inside the main house which was so intimate and romantic. I asked for mix and matched chairs to just add a bit of character to the ceremony and it looked so great. Then the reception was outside, which bc the weather was so nice it was just so fun to be outdoors under the oak trees with the twinkling lights. We ate and drank and danced the night away and when the reception was over we continued the fun at the bar they have! The next day we did a brunch with my bridal party and family. This really is such a special place. Erin and her sister are super responsive, flexible and really able to do so much! I am so so grateful to them and the rest of their team for making our special day everything we dreamed of and more!

Tonight I visited this venue for my god-child's sweet 16 party. She picked the venue because of its ambience and it's architecture. Even though the place is pretty I do not recommend it because of the owners/management lack of professionalism. The management team decided to closed the entrance gate to stop letting kids into the venue and decided to tell the birthday girl that she was at capacity and could no longer have kids enter. Now I've worked at similar venue and understand liability however the conversation should have been had with the parents of the birthday girl and not the kids there. Management decided to complain to anyone who would listen instead of talking to the appropriate party to find a solution. We came up multiple solutions to have adults leave, have the birthday girls father who has security experience watch the entrance and monitor the area. The security guard on duty never left the entrance and didn't monitor areas by the way. Next the owner/manager decides to tell the DJ what kind of music he couldn't play. If there was a certain type of music not allowed it should have been in the agreement which it was never said or written. There was a snoball stand at the party and I noticed the owner/manager who complained stading in line with her child/grandchild while partygoers were in line. She could have at least waited for all of the guests to be served 1st. Lastly, I noticed that they started serving the kitchen cake that was purchased instead of the actual cake which was ok but the audacity of staff to mention "oh the cake is good" before serving all of the guests is outrageous. I don't recommend this place and would never book it for any event.

The owner charged my friends a ridiculous fee and made up a number in her head on how many people were at an event that was predominantly outside. Worst case she decided to go back and forth on a previous review forgetting that multiple people spoke with her ans noticed how UNPROFESSIONAL she was. I don't recommend this place and would never book it for any event.

The whole ambiance of the venue was awesome! Such a great outdoor setting along with the options to be indoors & a mire private area for the bar.

This is a very nice place primarily used as a wedding venue but it can definitely lend itself to much more I went there this evening to see my friend play with his band Nice little grass lawn area Cute cottage houses And larger two story house for the event or sit down dinner or meeting hall Streamed outdoor lighting Cottages can host people over night I'm thinking you can probably have small to medium size Retreats Seminars Business meetings Birthdays Anniversaries Presentations This can definitely be used more than just for weddings There are so many possibilities Check it out and see if it works for you

10/10 recommend Compass Point Events for your desired celebration! Erin and her team were absolutely amazing. I recently held my baby shower there and everyone enjoyed every moment of it! The grounds are GORGEOUS! The large oak trees really give it the Southern charm I was looking for. We used their catering services for their brunch menu and the food was AMAZING! We were served creole shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, pastries, Cajun scrambled eggs and much more! Everyone loved the food! They also provided us with a fully staffed bar service where bottomless mimosas and other drinks were served. The floral arrangements for the tables were beautiful! They arranged REAL flowers for each table and provided me with a space to take photos with presents. Erin was so accommodating with items in which I had forgot to bring, or didn’t think I needed! Lastly, the price is super affordable. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, and I most certainly would book this venue for another occasion!

Everything about Compass Point Events is absolute perfection. From the beautiful venue, to the expertise of Erin, Amy and team, to the actual day of the event… flawless. The women at Compass Point are rockstars and they definitely know how to plan and throw a party. They make the process easy and stress free. My wedding was so beautiful thanks to everyone at Compass Point. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue and people to share this experience with.
