The Most Romantic Weekend of my LIfe

I am going to try and put into words what the Manor means to us but I assure you the feeling we, and our loved ones, were left with is ethereal. From the moment I met the LTM Family, I felt welcomed, warm and cared for. They listen so intently to their couples and bring your ideas to life in a way that is dream-like. Andrew, Jackie, Ted, Janice and their staff have a genuine excitement for your day. It feels uniquely personal. Their design is unmatched, thoughtful and romantic. We felt swept away into blissful elegance. My loved ones, all 150 of them, are still talking about their space and how seamless the weekend felt. They are so incredibly thoughtful, it creates a space where we could be fully present because they had thought of every last detail. The LTM Family is invested in their couples and the couples loved ones. The staff is omnipresent and invisible all at the same time, never missing a beat. The efforts of their team to know each couple and their loved ones is unparalleled. You can see the results of those efforts in the smallest of details throughout the entire weekend. Would not find a more thoughtful team anywhere. As good of a group of listeners they are, they communicate equally as well. Chef Mike’s food is INCREDIBLE! We can’t talk about our wedding without highlighting the incredible chef who made our celebration feel even more unforgettable. The food was nothing short of spectacular—beautifully presented, full of flavor, and crafted with such obvious passion. Our guests are still raving about every course! What stood out most wasn’t just the amazing dishes, but the care behind them. The chef took the time to understand our tastes, personalize the menu, and create something that felt uniquely us. My family had a lot of restrictions when it came to food and Chef mike did not hesitate to assure us that he would accommodate with pleasure. Thank you for turning our wedding meal into an experience we will remember for the rest of our lives. It was perfect. I could go on and on about LTM and all of their personal touches, they feel like family to me. We shared laughs, tears and stories all weekend. They may not know it yet, but we will be sure to be visiting them again soon. We miss them. They also provided any and all the additional helpful information you could possibly ask for in their wedding packet from vendors and musicians, to local shopping and dining. We used many of their vendors and they all exceeded or expectation. Just magical. -Angela & Andrew

Wedding of our dreams!

We recently hosted our wedding weekend at Lord Thompson Manor, and words truly can’t capture how magical and seamless the entire experience was. From the very beginning of the planning process to the final farewell, every detail was handled with such care, precision, and warmth. Planning with Janice, Jackie, Andrew, and Chef Mike was an absolute pleasure. Communication was always clear and prompt, and they made what could have been a stressful process feel incredibly smooth and enjoyable. Every question was answered, and every request thoughtfully considered coming together perfectly. A special thank you to Janice and Ted, the gracious hosts of both the Manor and the Cottage House. Their presence throughout the weekend made all the difference. They were not only attentive to every guest but seemed to anticipate needs before anyone even had to ask. The level of hospitality they provided is unmatched — warm, personal, and genuinely caring. The entire weekend was seamless. From welcome drinks to the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony, reception, and farewell breakfast, every moment flowed beautifully. Our guests could not stop talking about how fun, relaxing, and well-orchestrated everything was — and we felt it too! It was a weekend filled with love, laughter, joy, and a true sense of celebration. The Cottage House Spa offered such a comforting and peaceful environment for hair and makeup on the wedding day. The space was beautifully designed to feel both luxurious and relaxing, helping to ease any nerves and make the morning feel truly special. Brittany’s coordination and support throughout the weekend was invaluable—she kept everything on track with grace and calm, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. We also cannot say enough about the food and drinks— absolutely phenomenal. Chef Mike curated meals that were both elegant and comforting, perfectly suited to each event. The cocktails and beverage selections were equally excellent, and our guests raved about every bite and sip throughout the weekend. We are beyond grateful to the entire team at Lord Thompson Manor for making our wedding weekend the best experience of our lives. If you’re considering hosting your wedding here — don’t hesitate. It will be everything you dreamed of and more! With heartfelt thanks, Ben & Olivia

Hannah & Drew’s review

Our wedding at Lord Thompson Manor was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we knew this venue was truly special. The manor is stunning — elegant, timeless, and full of charm — and it created the perfect backdrop for every part of our celebration. What truly sets Lord Thompson Manor apart, though, is the incredible team behind it. Every staff member was attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in making our wedding weekend flawless. They handled every detail seamlessly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the experience with our family and friends. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the beautiful grounds, the atmosphere, and how smoothly everything flowed. We felt so cared for from start to finish, and the memories we made here will stay with us forever. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that feels intimate, elegant, and unforgettable, Lord Thompson Manor is absolutely a 5-star choice.

Unique Wedding Experiance

Lord Thompson Manor provides a unique wedding experience like no other venue. It's hard to put into words how incredible our wedding weekend was. Within the two years of planning our wedding the wedding coordinators truly make your wedding a priority. Each member of the team truly made my vision come to life. FOOD was so important to us. Chef Mike will work with you to personalize food for your wedding weekend. Guests with food restrictions were taken care of which meant the world to us. My family cannot stop talking about the wedding weekend. Between the ceremony space, the rehearsal dinner, the cocktail hour to our plated meal. Everything at this venue is perfect. The staff is working around the clock to make sure your wedding is the weekend of your dreams. You WILL NOT regret booking your wedding at Lord Thompson Manor. It is everything and more! -Colleen and Daniel

The best choice I made for my wedding

LTM was the best possible place I could have selected to get married. They were accommodating, patient, kind, and so organized and careful with my big day. Pretty much anything I came up with or wanted to try, they made it happen. I would have lose my mind if it wasn’t for the amazing staff and coordinators at LTM. I don’t feel that they are just a wedding venue; they feel more like lifelong friends. I can’t recommend them enough.

Amazing Wedding Venue

We got married at Lord Thompson Manor in May 2025, and I truly cannot say enough good things about this place and the people who run it. The venue itself is breathtaking. Every single detail is thought of, from the décor to the flow of the weekend. It’s like stepping into a dream that’s been perfectly choreographed yet still feels completely personal to you. The staff is nothing short of a dream team. They are a well-oiled machine that somehow still feels like family. I don’t think I lifted a finger all weekend. They handled everything so seamlessly that I was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The flowers and decor were stunning. Jackie’s eye for design is incredible. She brought my Pinterest board to life for both the wedding and our Spanish tapas-themed rehearsal dinner (a nod to our engagement in Spain). She went above and beyond. The food? Absolutely unforgettable. Chef Mike was phenomenal to work with and created inspired, flavorful dishes that our guests are still raving about. From the rehearsal dinner to the wedding feast (and I mean FEAST) to the late night snacks, every bite was perfection. Andrew was super responsive throughout the planning process. He guided us every step of the way and never got tired of our 1,000 questions.
And then there’s Ted — our family stayed at the Manor, and they still talk about how much they miss him. His attention to detail made me feel truly taken care of. He ushered us to our seats and made sure we didn’t miss dinner (a small miracle on wedding day). He even set aside a plate of appetizers for us. He didn’t miss a beat. And Janice… I don’t even know where to start. Saying goodbye to her at the end of the weekend actually hurt my heart. She was by my side the entire time, anticipating my every need. Even when that meant getting on the ground to scrub my dress before the ceremony after it got dirty during our first look. She is truly one of a kind and I can tell she cares deeply about her brides and their experience. She made my wedding so special and stress-free. When the weekend arrived, Janice told me not to worry about a single thing except having a good time and being present in the moment – they would handle the rest. And she was right. It was the most magical, low-stress, joy-filled weekend we could have imagined, and it’s all thanks to the incredible team at Lord Thompson Manor. If you’re considering this venue, book it. You will be in great hands.

Unforgettable Experience

We cannot recommend Lord Thompson Manor more if we tried. There’s few venues that you will find that allow you to have the space for the entire weekend but rehearsal, ceremony, reception, after party and day after brunch all on the same property is phenomenal. The area surrounding Lord Thompson is perfect for guests to stay/visit and the accommodations for the wedding party on site was top notch. Our guests could jnot stop raving about the manor itself, the food and the staff. We had such a magical weekend and truly cannot thank everyone enough!

This is your sign to have your wedding at LTM

We had our wedding on June 7th, 2025, at Lord Thompson Manor. I cannot express enough how you should have your wedding here. Andrew, Jackie, Janice and Ted are top tier. Janice made us feel so special and throughout the day advocated for me. When the rain stopped and i wanted pictures outside, Ted went and got a leaf blower to blow away the rain so that my dress didn’t get wet. They made the best day of our lives extra special. Our guests are still saying to us they can’t stop thinking about our wedding, that it was magical and the best wedding they’ve ever have ever gone to and I owe that all to Lord Thompson Manor. I will be eternally grateful for the way they made us and our wedding feel extra special. You are making a mistake if you do not book with Lord Thompson Manor.

Janice is the best!

Janice was running everything at the cottage house and she is absolutely AMAZING! She went above and beyond for our beautiful bride Olivia. From making a beautiful last minute bouquet, to directing traffic for the shuttle bus, to showering everyone with kind words and advice. You can tell she truly cares about the experience and she does an amazing job. Janice is a true gem! Thank you for making Liv and Ben’s wedding beautiful along with a wonderful experience for the bridesmaids!

So amazing!

Where do I begin?! This venue is so incredibly special as are the people who work there. I booked my wedding in December 2023 and just had it in April 2025 so I got to know the staff well. They truly go above and beyond for their couples. Surprisingly enough it snowed the morning of my wedding but I had my heart set on having the ceremony outside so they made it happen. Janice and Ted were so kind and warm to my fiancé and I and we truly will never forget that. With this venue the sky is the limit if you’re a creative person this is definitely the venue for you. Magical doesn’t even begin to cover it

I love Lord Thompson Manor so much..I got married there myself! I am a wedding photographer and seriously folks, Jackie & her staff are playing on a whole different level when it comes to wedding day details. I've seen everything, photographed everywhere. They are second to NONE. You will never want to leave the place.

At The Lord Thompson Manor, the staff, the service, the setting itself all work in harmony to create the kind of wedding couples dream of. I had the honor to officiate for a couple married there last year and will officiate again for another couple soon. As delighted as I am, I can just imagine how thrilled couples are to know they can trust the details of their special day to the owners of such a competent and caring venue.
