Choosing the Thompson House was probably the best decision that we made for our wedding. Most of vendors came recommended by On, and I feel like we sort of got a packaged deal! On, Jessie Patton of Wildflower Event Services, Randy Burton of Dynamite Entertainment, and Maureen Adams from Bleu House Cafe worked together like a well-oiled machine, and they made our wedding pretty much perfect.

We have had nothing but rave comments from family and friends about the venue and flowers, and I can't possibly say enough positive things about On. Her florals are gorgeous, she's so kind and accommodating, and she knows weddings inside and out.

I'm gushing at this point, but as a bride, knowing my wedding (and so many of the details!) were in such competent hands was a giant blessing.

This wedding could have not turned out more perfectly.This was a beautiful place to have a wedding. From the time we arrived we knew we were in good hands with Jesse Patton. I just want to thank her & her staff for making this the most wonderful day of my daughters life.It could not have been a better experience for us & our guests. Thank you Jesse

On, the Thompson House and Garden was perfect for our daughter's wedding. The facility was beautiful and your attention to the details was outstanding. I expect to see some of the photos in The Knot. The flowers at both the UGA Chapel and THG were prettier than we could have imagined. I have looked at many photos of weddings at the chapel, and your flowers were by far the best that I have seen.

Thank you for your advise and professionalism.

By the way, I just saw you, Jessie, Jackie and your helper guy in the Photo Booth pictures--it was very cute.

Thanks for everything.

Rudy (Father of the bride)

Wonderful venue! On was very helpful and open to all of our ideas. We had such a wonderful time and everything was perfect! Such a great experience and low stress!

Dear On and Jessie,
We have talked about how beautiful the wedding was and how wonderful the reception was for weeks. Everything that day was so perfect. Chet and Hillary say that they would not change a thing, if they had to do it over. From the flowers the bridesmaid carried, to Hillary's bouquet, the fabulous reception decorations - we loved them all. Our guests were so happy, they enjoyed the atmosphere, The Bleu House food was delicious (thanks for the recommendation) and, oh, the table centerpieces were perfection. Jessie and her helper made the evening flow so smoothly - you guys thought of everything. Not an unhappy face in the bunch, including mine! I went in smiling and left smiling - it was wonderful My daughter means the world to me and making that day as special as it was would not have been possible with out your beautiful facility, decorations and staff. Thank you so so, so much. I would recommend The Thompson House to anyone wanting the very best and beautiful reception venue. The atmosphere of the evening, embraced the Christmas spirit and the love and happiness of the occasion. Thank you.
Carolyn Tidd, Happy Mother of the Bride!

Oh On, Caroline and Joe's wedding exceeded all our expectations. Everything from the first note of the harpist to the last sparkler at the end of the evening was exquisite. The garden setting was a floral heaven, and the ballroom provided the opulent elegant atmosphere that Caroline had dreamed of. On, you brought Caroline's quirky masquerade them together with your creative vision. The tables and floral arrangements were fabulous. Jessie's perfect minute by minute direction of the schedule allowed us all to relax and have a wonderful time. Everything came together absolutely perfectly. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE commented on how fabulous the event was. Many said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended.

Thank you On and Jessie both for such an amazing fairytale wedding.

My wedding at the Thompson House & Gardens was PERFECT in every way thanks to On Guest & Jessie Patton! I wouldn't change anything about it. THG is the most beautiful home and gardens and the perfect place for any bride and groom to get married. I wish I could do it all over again!

There aren’t many occasions, especially the most significant and important ones, where one can say, “Everything was perfect!” That was our experience recently at the Thompson House and Gardens in Bogart, Georgia for our daughter’s wedding in late August.
Our experience started with the rehearsal dinner on Friday night and was followed the next day by a magnificent outdoor wedding ceremony and reception. The facility at the Thompson House and Gardens was “wedding perfect”. Our daughter, Jessica Rogers, even had a private dressing room with a parlor to share with her bridesmaids, all part of a great homey atmosphere that included the little touches which only added to the warmth and intimacy.
The banquet hall was ample in space and the acoustics were excellent, prompting some dance fever by the wedding party and guests. The grounds were particularly well groomed and all the flowers provided by On Guest made for an amazing and beautiful backdrop. We especially enjoyed the outdoor setting following the wedding, with an open bar and hors d’oeuvres, before we transitioned indoors for the reception dinner.
I knew that Jessica had made the perfect choice when it became obvious the ownership had some influence on cloud movement and rain, as it poured in Athens and we didn’t receive a single drop.
The only regret was that there has to be an end to the perfect experience. It couldn’t last forever, but the memories will. I highly recommend that anyone looking for the perfect venue utilize the facilities provided by the Thompson House and Gardens. It will put the odds in your favor for your own perfect occasion. A special “thank you” to Jessica’s day coordinator, Jessie Patton, who worked so hard to make sure that every detail was taken care of. It was truly a beautiful, well orchestrated event.
With our sincerest appreciation,
Steve and Beth Granger

The Thompson House and Gardens is a beautiful venue near Athens, GA. My fiance (now husband) and I were looking for a venue that was beautiful inside and outside, could accommodate 250 guests and allowed outside catering. We found the THG and knew it was the perfect place for our wedding reception. We are so glad we made the decision to go with the THG. The owner, On Guest, is a wonderful person and she really worked with us to make our reception happen and make it a beautiful, personalized event that we have so many good memories of. On is also a florist and does all the flowers and decorations at the THG. All the flowers were so beautiful and we loved that she had many ideas and suggestions for us, but was also willing to listen to what we wanted and help us accomplish our vision for the decorations and flowers.

Jackie is one of the wedding coordinators at the THG and she did an amazing job coordinating our wedding day and reception. She was always calm even when things were hectic and made our special day run smoothly. She even got in the back of my parents' truck and loaded all our wedding gifts so my parents could continue to enjoy the reception. On and Jackie worked together to make our day turn out the way we wanted it to and we didn't have to worry about anything. They are both wonderful ladies who really care about the couples they work with. We felt that they went out of their way to make our day special and help us have the reception we were envisioning.

I would highly recommend the THG to anyone looking for a beautiful place to get married and/or have a reception where you will be in kind and capable hands and have confidence that everything will be taken care of so you can just enjoy your special day.

The Thompson House and Gardens is the perfect place to get married. It is absolutely gorgeous, inside and out. On did an outstanding job decorating and making my dream wedding come true. She knew my wedding was a butterfly theme, and she bought butterflies to decorate the area where we say our vows. She also did the flowers for the wedding. I gave her sample pictures, and I put all of my trust in her b/c I've seen her flowers from pictures, and I knew she would do a wonderful job. She did not disappoint me. I fell in love with my bouquet, and all of the flowers were so elegant and beautiful. Every Saturday night that I drive by THG on my way to and from Athens, I always smile when the house is lit up for someone else's wedding. I would love to be able to get married all over again at THG.

Thanks to you and your staff for making Morgan & Cody's wedding the best day it could possibly be. Once we arrived, even with the flowers that Morgan's mother-in-law contributed, you and your staff made us feel so at ease that everything would go smoothly. I've already had two people inquire about your facility. Thanks again for a magical day!

I would like to recommend The Thompson House and Gardens to anyone who wants their wedding to be special and unique.My daughters wedding was amazing and i was very pleased at how the staff helped me with every thing and made it less stressful for mom and the bride.They really do put a personalized touch to everything and make your day beautiful and amazing!The grounds are beautiful and On makes the most amazing flowers i have ever seen!!You need to come out and check this place out because words cant describe the magic you feel there.
Thank You
