    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

    Felt like a dream

    Our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be (and more) thanks to the team at the Lord Thompson Manor!

    What drew us to the Lord Thompson Manor (aside from the stunning grounds) was the concept of the “wedding weekend,” everything held all in one setting. Andrew and Jackie have truly perfected every aspect of the weekend, from the moment we arrived on Friday to when we left on Sunday afternoon. Now, on to the specifics…

    Food:
    Chef Mike is the best! He worked with us to create the exact menu selection we wanted, and was open to customizing to suit our preferences.

    We had a lot of allergies at our wedding and Chef Mike perfectly handled every one of them. From making sure our celiac/gluten-free guests had cupcakes that matched our wedding cake flavor to making delicious vegan breakfasts/lunches/dinners/desserts for our maid of honor and one of our groomsmen, the people with allergies did NOT get the short end of the stick! I had guests coming up to me thanking me for having a dessert for them because they’re used to not getting any at weddings! As someone who constantly watches my sister have to eat nothing but dressing-less garden salad or bland veggie burgers at restaurants, it was so awesome to see all the options she got to eat as a vegan all weekend. That vegan chocolate bread Chef Mike made for her for breakfast on the wedding morning… wow!

    A lot of our guests told us that we had the best wedding food they’d ever had. From the two large appetizer tables to the incredible passed apps (my favorite part!) to the well-portioned plated meals, there was nothing left to be desired by the time dancing started! And the after-party food options hit the spot! Those chocolate chip cookies were unbelievable.

    Decor:
    Truth be told, I was all over the place with what I wanted aesthetically. After our food tasting, Jackie worked with my family, pulling candlesticks, votives, vases, napkin holders, and such until it was exactly what we wanted. And for flowers, I gave hardly any direction but Jackie practically read my mind because it was even better than I pictured. I still think about how perfect our altar looked – thank you for taking hours to make it look so stunning, Ted!

    Something really special about the Manor: if you choose to use them for design (which I HIGHLY recommend you do), they go all out with candles, pillows, throw blankets, picture frames, and more – not just flowers. The whole Manor felt perfectly curated for our day.

    Organization/Day-Of Experience:
    I’m loosely quoting Jackie here – running a wedding day is like putting on a play, with everything timed out perfectly and everything coming together just right. In this case, Janice and Ted were the best “stage managers” we could have hoped for, doing everything possible to ensure we stayed within our exact time frames and making sure we were never stressed.

    The KISS Spa was such an idyllic place for the bridesmaids, mothers, and I to get ready. The men loved hanging downstairs in the billiards room – one of the groomsmen even brought his X-Box and connected it to the downstairs TV while they killed time, LOL.

    The first look… I don’t want to reveal much because I want future brides and grooms to be surprised, but this was such a special moment.

    The ceremony was perfectly crafted, and the LTM team was there with champagne in hand so we could go right into toasts. This was something different from any other wedding we’ve been to – toasts happen right after the ceremony. I personally loved this, and I think my sister, dad, and brother-in-law were relieved to get public speaking out of the way so they could relax the rest of the evening!

    There’s so much to say, but I’d like to note some of the small details that made such a difference. Because of some post-ceremony photos and chatting with so many guests during the cocktail hour, we didn’t grab many passed apps during cocktail hour. So my husband and I were so delighted when we sat down for dinner and Ted handed us a plate of two of each passed app! Such a great idea!

    Every single staff member was amazing and so attentive. The bartenders were so friendly and the servers had food service down to a science!

    Obviously the wedding day was the highlight, but the rehearsal dinner and day-after brunch were so much fun and perfect ways to start/end the weekend. It was so cool to see the conservatory transformed for our intimate rehearsal dinner/welcome party, then again for the wedding day, and again for our 100+ guest brunch!

    My husband and I seriously wish we could live this entire weekend all over again – it was such a dream. I’m hoping in the future I can revisit the Lord Thompson Manor again as a guest to get a whole different experience at this beautiful place!

    Thank you so much to Jackie, Andrew, Chef Mike, Janice, Ted, and everyone else who makes the Lord Thompson Manor such a picturesque place!

    -Lexi (and Matt) Cibotti

    A stunning, unique and incredibly special venue and team

    BOOK THEM! Lord Thompson Manor is a diamond in the rough. The venue and team was nothing short of incredible and supportive throughout the entire planning process and beyond. I had a vision of unique and memorable wedding and Lord Thompson delivered just that. I have family and friends that said its the best wedding they’ve ever been to and talked about it for months to come. It’s hard to (specifically RAVING about the food and the vibes). It’s hard to put into words the magic and ambiance Lord Thompson encapsulates; you have to exeperience it yourself. If your on the fence, BOOK IT

    6 weeks later and people are still raving about LTM

    Looking back on my wedding day, I am in awe of everything Lord Thompson Manor took care of for us. In fact, I'm sure there are dozens of things I didn’t even notice, thanks to their magic behind the scenes. From the planning process—where you're in constant communication with the Manor’s team, filling out their detailed planning paperwork—to the end of the night when Ted hands you a (cold!) water bottle on your way to bed, and the breakfast the next morning when Janice has packed up your things, wrapped your flowers, and asks how you'd like your coffee—every detail is covered. Over coffee, you might casually hear that a vendor was late to arrive the day before, but the best part is that you never knew about it because LTM handled everything seamlessly.

    I could go on and on about the venue, the convenience of having rooms on-site (and just down the road), the amazing vendors they work with, THE FOOD, and the sheer ease of having your entire wedding weekend in one place. But that wouldn't fully capture what makes LTM so special.

    What sets Lord Thompson Manor apart is that all they care about is YOU—and your guests. They make your comfort, preferences, likes/dislikes, and even your undecided opinions their priority throughout the weekend. For someone like me, who is usually stressed and anxious (and desperate not to be a Bridezilla) I was able to stay calm and fully enjoy my wedding day because I knew everything was in capable hands.

    Every time we spoke to Jackie and Andrew, we knew without a doubt that we had chosen the right venue. We rarely had questions to ask them—because they had already thought of everything.

    And while it felt like the entire staff’s attention was focused on us, our guests can’t stop raving about the personal attention they received. I promise, even your most “difficult” aunt (you know the one who’ll ask a million questions about the dining room setup) will rave about the venue. Ted and/or Janice will grab her a chair, fluff her pillow, and engage her in conversation about the history of the Manor (true story!).

    Lord Thompson Manor didn’t just host our wedding—they created a truly unforgettable experience for us and our loved ones. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to begin our married life together.

    August 2024 Wedding

    Jackie, Andrew, Ted, Janice, Chef Mike, and the entire LTM crew,
    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the most perfect wedding weekend that we will cherish forever. The weekend was everything we dreamed of and more, and it would not have been possible without you all! There are truly not enough words to properly express our gratitude! We did not want the typical ballroom wedding venue. LTM allowed us to have the most unique/elegant/timeless wedding with an emphasis on good food and drinks. It was a dream come true. We are beyond appreciative! Even with 190 guests, everything ran like a well-oiled machine! Thank you for handling a little bit of chaos with poise 😊 You truly brought my vision to life, and it was perfect. We received so many compliments on the venue, the food, and the staff. Our guests were blown away. We will truly cherish those memories forever and will always hold a special place for LTM in our hearts. We love you!!

    Best wedding decision we made besides marrying each other!

    From the minute we visited Lord Thompson Manor, we knew we wanted to get married there. We wanted our wedding to not feel rushed and enjoy every minute celebrating with friends and family. LTM makes your wedding feel like the most important event they've ever hosted. Being able to have all of the weekend events in one place made everything so fluid and allowed us more time to soak in all of the joy we were surrounded by. We got married this fall and the venue at that time of the year is absolutely stunning! We could go on and on about how amazing the staff was...so we will! Andrew and Jackie go above and beyond to bring your vision to life. Ted, Janice, and Brittany think of every detail and don't let you do anything except enjoy your wedding weekend. Chef Mike is so kind and talented; people will not stop raving about the food (both quality and quantity). Every single staff member was so polite and helpful, and we received countless comments from guests saying so. Our wedding day was truly the best day and thanks to LTM, we felt so at ease and were able to savor every little moment!

    Our Dream Wedding in Midsummer

    My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams this past July at Lord Thompson Manor. From the moment we stepped foot on our tour of the venue in December of 2022 we could tell that the manor was in a different class than the other venues we toured. While we fell in love with the gorgeous Italianate gilded age manor property, we were especially charmed by the personal touch and attention to detail that Andrew, Jackie, Ted, Janice, and the entire team at LTM operate with. Throughout the year and a half planning our wedding and the wedding day itself they made us feel like we were the only couple they were working with. No request was too silly or big for the team at LTM - if they could make it happen, they would. Also, a special recognition to Chef Mike as well, who worked with us to create the ideal menu for our guests (steak and shrimp for our main course!!!). We were pleasantly surprised about his ability to create delicious alternatives for our dairy and gluten free guests. Being dairy free myself, I absolutely loved the dairy free strawberry shortcake he made for me for our rehearsal dinner. The wedding weekend unfolded without a hitch. Foremost, Jackie designed our flower arrangements for the wedding, and she absolutely nailed what we were looking for. She is a true creative and it was an inspiration to get to work with her to bring our vision to life. Ted and Janice were there every step of the way to ensure my husband, and I had everything we needed and that the wedding kept to the schedule. We truly felt so special the whole weekend and that the team genuinely cared that we had the best weekend. Many of our guests remarked that the food, staff, and elegance of LTM was one of the best weddings that they had been to. The accommodations were comfortable, and we loved being able to stay at the property on our wedding night. We only wish we could do it all again.

    The Lord Thompson Manor team made our wedding day feel like straight out of fairytale book. We are still in awe of how amazing they were and how beautiful everything was. We have received endless amounts of compliments about the wedding and how amazing of a job they did. We truly owe everything to Lord Thompson Manor team for making our wedding of our dreams come true. We cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond. They are truly amazing at what they do and you will not be disappointed if you book the Lord Thompson Manor for your special day!

    10/10 Wedding Experience

    I got married at Lord Thompson Manor this past summer and had a 10/10 experience. Jackie, Janice, Ted, Chef Mike and Andrew are an incredible, detail oriented, kind, and organized team. From day one, they were dedicated to making sure our wedding was perfect, and the end result was incredible. From stunning decor and a beautiful meal at our rehearsal dinner to the perfect ceremony flowers and dinner and after party set up, they truly thought through every detail. LTM is a unique wedding weekend experience for everyone - you won’t regret having your wedding here!

    Bridesmaid review!

    as a bridesmaid I had the best weekend at the Lord Thompson Manor. it was so special and convenient to stay right on property. the food was incredible and we ate and drank to our heart's content all weekend long. the staff was amazing and i was so impressed by their ability to seamlessly transition the manor throughout the weekend from rehearsal to reception to brunch. over at the cottage house, i was so pleased with my make-up and hair from KISS salon and felt so relaxed (and again, well fed) on saturday morning as all the ladies got ready.

    10/10 Venue!!

    My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lord Thompson Manor. We are so thrilled to have picked this venue to host our wedding for the entire weekend; in all honesty it was the easiest decision we made during this entire process. They were so thorough and helpful right from our very first meeting, and far surpassed any other venue we considered.

    During the year and a half of planning leading up to our wedding, they thoroughly and thoughtfully explained every detail, cost, and idea with warmth and professionalism, taking our thoughts and budget into account every step of the way. This is the perfect venue for someone who is looking for a site that is both efficiently run and puts the effort into every single detail of your wedding as if it were their own.

    LTM has a directory of various, incredibly professional vendors already vetted and lined up for you. The team at Lord Thompson Manor also helped us find cost effective solutions during our planning process to stay within our budget; something most if not all venues will consciously ignore. Our entire wedding weekend was so organized and came together beautifully due to the efforts of their incredible staff. Jackie, Janice, Brittany, Ted, and Andrew, among the plenty of other wonderful staff members, anticipated our every need throughout the weekend and handled any question or change that may have arisen.

    Every single detail was thought of, from the amazing floral design and décor, to the unparalleled, delicious food (which our guests said was without a doubt "the best wedding food” they've ever had). The feedback we received from our guests throughout the weekend was overwhelmingly positive and everyone had an incredible time. The LTM team helped create lifelong memories for us and we will be forever grateful to this venue. As I may have alluded to above, choosing LTM was the best decision we made during this process. We cannot recommend this site and this team enough!

    A Perfect Weekend from Start to Finish

    I am honestly not sure I can put into words how wonderful my wedding weekend was at Lord Thompson Manor. While they executed my husband and my vision perfectly for both the rehearsal dinner and wedding, I think where they truly take the cake is their team. Andrew and Jackie are on top of things from the moment you schedule a tour. They answered every question, gave me ideas for various aspects of the weekend, and just reassured my husband and me every step of the way. Janice and Ted were present the entire weekend. I am fully convinced they can fix any problem. Truly. Bride is sick for the rehearsal dinner (which I was)? They had a remedy to help me feel better and continuously checked in on me. Bride’s dress gets ripped? Janice bustled my dress with pins in the coat room! Ted was there until 2:30am Sunday and handled every situation that arose that I wasn’t even aware of until after the wedding was over. Lex was around snapping pictures of the night so we got to look through wedding pictures on our way to the airport! She was so helpful checking in on people and assisting where needed. Chef Mike worked with us extensively to create a menu that catered to my various allergies while still tasting delicious. He kept me safe, and I can’t thank him enough for that.
    In summary, pick Lord Thompson Manor to be your venue. I do not think my husband and I would’ve enjoyed our wedding weekend as much as we did if it wasn’t for the incredible team at Lord Thompson Manor.

    Absolutely Amazing Wedding Weekend

    The Lord Thompson Manor is by far the most beautiful venue around. Being from a very large family and having been to many weddings, no venue compares! The staff is absolutely amazing and know what they are doing! They make the weekend so seamless and fun - with no worries in the world! I received so many compliments on my wedding from the beauty of the venue, the staff, the food - it truly was all amazing!

    We had our dream wedding

    If you are on the fence about having your wedding at Lord Thompson Manor do yourself a favor, book it. I cannot rave about them enough. Our wedding was in October and our guests are still raving about it. Ted and Janice are absolutely incredible. They literally know what you are going to need before you do. My sister brought my mom’s ashes to our wedding and Janice took the most care walking them to put them on the front chair for her and then bringing them up to my room as soon as the ceremony ended. Jackie created the perfect aesthetic. I sent her a few Pinterest photos and somehow, they became reality. Chef Mike helped us to create the perfect menu and even included our favorite donuts from our favorite donut shop in Providence. Andrew made sure everything was organized down to the tiniest detail. You literally don’t have to do anything other than book them and have the best weekend ever.

    An Actual Fairytale

    We had our wedding in November 2023 and simply cannot give enough praise to Lord Thompson Manor! We went full Black Tie complete with a whisky tasting and cigar bar and our guests could not stop raving about the incredible moody manor atmosphere. Many complimented us that it was 'the best wedding they'd ever been to' which was so fulfilling after all the work we put into the planning process

    Weekend Wedding Dream

    From beginning to end, Andrew, Jackie, Janice and Ted made our wedding a DREAM.

    My husband Kai and I always envisioned a "weekend wedding" after experiencing our friends' wedding abroad. After thinking we would never be able to have that same vibe, we stumbled upon LTM, and we are SO lucky we did.

    Lord Thompson is not only a gorgeous venue - surrounded by greenery and elegance - but the people that work there make the venue exquisite.

    As NYC foodies, Chef Mike made us feel like we were at an incredible Michelin starred restaurant the entire weekend (with the added and very important touch of also being made to feel at home by him and his team).

    Janice and Ted single handedly made the wedding weekend entirely stress-free - allowing us to relax and knowing very well they had it all together. The two seamlessly worked together the entire weekend allowing Kai and I to do what no bride and groom are ever allowed to do... enjoy their ENTIRE wedding and EAT! From planning, hosting, and behind-the-scenes shenanigans that we later learned from friends, this team single handedly made our wedding not only be perfect, but go beyond our wildest imaginations.

    Andrew and Jackie have assembled a world-class team to make your wedding unforgettable, and there are not enough words to describe how special this venue is to us.

    In our opinion, LTM is the only place that combines beauty, exceptional cuisine, top-notch professionalism, and a genuine passion for what they do.

    We were SO sad when our wedding came to an end because of the new friends and family that weekend gave us. We love you all and will visit very soon!

    Love,
    Jackie and Kai

    The most magical venue

    Truly cannot say enough incredible things about this venue!!! Andrew, Jackie, Janice and Ted are a dream team. The small details they all pay attention to led to a smooth and seemingly effortless wedding weekend for us.
    When we visited other wedding venues, we had a laundry list of questions to ensure everything went the way we envisioned. When we first visited LTM, that mental list quickly disappeared as Andrew answered questions before we were even able to ask them. They took so much stress out of the planning process. Every time I had a question the team was more than willing to be available for a call to ensure we were all on the same page. Because of the attention to detail ahead of time, we truly were able to let go and enjoy every single moment once our wedding finally happened. From check in on Friday to the conclusion of breakfast on Sunday, we had smiles on our faces and happy tears in our eyes. Everything completely exceeded our expectations. It ended up raining the day of and the ease at which they set up everything to be inside so quickly is something we'll never forget.
    Andrew holds so much patience and professionalism while figuring out financial details through the very end.
    Jackie covers the florals and decor and she truly brought our vision to life and more. Even the decor at the rehearsal dinner was the perfect touch on top of everything else.
    Janice hosts at the Cottage House and goes above and beyond for the bride. She was such a calming presence in the midst of so much adrenaline, nervousness, and chaos.
    Ted brings so much magic to the weekend with his infectious energy as the host at the Manor.
    The food was absolutely incredible and Chef Mike is there to help every step of the way to ensure you're getting the best possible options for your guests. He is so organized and helpful and amazing at his art of food. We had multiple guests comment that it was the best wedding food they had ever had.
    We felt like the most special people in the world during our wedding weekend at LTM and felt like nothing else mattered to them. It was truly the best experience of our lives!!

    The Wedding of my Dreams

    Where do I begin? The whole LTM team made sure my entire wedding wknd was not only stress free, but also a perfect depiction of a vision I had in my head of what my wedding would be like. To say I am thankful for this is an understatement. We spend years dreaming of our wedding, imagining what it will look like, asking for things we aren't sure are achievable. I had about 1,000 of these details in my head, and LTM did NOT miss a single mark. It was unbelievable and I am quite literally in shock one month later. From the stunning decor, to the magnificent food- the wknd was one no one will never forget. From the moment we pulled up to the manor for our 1st tour appt with Andrew, I knew we had found the venue of our dreams. Furthermore after walking in the front door, you immediately pick up an energy that I had never felt anywhere else. It was warm, cozy, familiar, and it felt like home. I wanted everyone I knew to see this spectacular hidden gem of the earth we had found. Andrew was so thorough & concise and just knows everything there is to know about how to host the perfect wedding. Then the ever so talented Jackie, the photos of her work online had my jaw on the ground, I was so excited to finally meet her. Her extensive and impressive collection of dinnerware, decor, linens, and more can give anyone a beautiful event. The cottage, which is a space you can only dream you will be lucky enough to get ready in on your wedding day- is managed by Janice, I remember talking to her on my tour about everything to expect the wknd, how the morning of getting ready would go, and heard her devotion to making her brides happy. She brought me to tears that day already knowing we would become super close and feeling relieved to know I would have her by my side from day 1. Ted, is also fantastic- his smile lights up the room. He has the voice of an angel and a heart of gold. I could never imagine the wedding planning process to be so fun seeing what some of my friends had gone through. I would talk with the team all the time, we really built a lovely friendship throughout the process. Jackie and Janice were always VERY on top of my details and plans. Whatever advice or crazy requests I had they were there to help me figure out. Before I knew it, it was 1 year into the planning process and time for our tasting! They went above and beyond we had the best day seeing our table decor for the first time which was PERFECTION! It was an exact replica of all of the inspo photos I had shared before, so unique. The tasing was the first time we met Chef Mike, but we had been talking for weeks prior about a bunch of crazy requests I had for my wedding weekend- which you wont be surprised to read were ALL executed beyond perfection once again on the weekend. This consisted of a live hand piped cannoli and Napoleon bar, a live hot pasta chafing station, an Italian inspired interactive charcuterie table, a potato latke station, a NY bagel bar, and more!!! Mike and his team absolutely killed it and ALL of my guests said it was BY FAR the best event food they had ever had. Moving into decor and florals, I loved how the manor had different vibes depending which part of the property you were in, and I wanted to capture that mysterious excitement for my guests with how I decorated each space. My inspo for the rehearsal was Positano Romance, and Jackie literally transposed the Amalfi Coast into the outdoor area of the manor. MULTIPLE guests came up to us to tell us the felt like they were in Italy, it was spectacular, quite literally amazing. The side garden felt like a fairytale to me, my Inspo for this space was Alice in Wonderland, low and behold once again the mark was hit! In the dining rooms I wanted romance and elegance, guess what? CHECK! Candles everywhere, soft florals, you could feel the love no matter which dining room you walked into. The party turned up after dinner and we danced past 12am! Brunch sunday was the perfect send off and it was hard to leave, but it was see you later, not goodbye for me and this group! We will be back!!!

    Magical wedding venue

    We knew our 6/17/23 wedding would be an incredibly special day, but we were not prepared for how truly romantic and magical Lord Thompson made this for us and our guests. When we think back to this day or watch our wedding video we become overly emotional and grateful to have held such an important part of our lives at Lord Thompson Manor. It’s a venue like no other. Let us start with the absolute impeccable service you receive from LTM. You are in such great care with Jackie, Andrew, Janice, Ted and Chef Mike. There are no details missed when it comes to making your dream weekend come to life, with ease and as little stress as possible for you. They are wedding experts!! From the day we chose LTM to the minute we walked out the door the Sunday after our wedding, we were catered to in every way imaginable. Andrew made it abundantly clear to us from day one, “if you want it we will make it happen for you” and he and his team delivered above and beyond. From financial decisions, to specialty cocktails, everything was more perfect than we could have asked. Jackie is a true visionary and it’s her #1 priority to ensure you have exactly what you dream for. Her genius took our ideas and photo inspiration and made it into a reality - from decorations to florals, she handled it all and curated the most magical atmosphere NOT ONCE but TWICE for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding night. Janice became another mom for us this weekend and was there for us at every moment. She helped unload all of our things on drop off day, steamed ALL the bridesmaid dresses, organized dinner to be brought to the cottage house for our cousin who just had a baby, read a beautiful poem to all girls on the wedding day, even gave the bride a cold towel when not feeling well at dinner and SO MUCH MORE! She’s an angel of a human and we felt so lucky to have her. Our wedding would not have been as special if it weren’t for Ted, host of our wedding weekend. He carries such vibrant energy and brought so much love, thoughtfulness and care. Not only did he tend to our every ask without hesitation, he literally SERENADED us and our guests with his incredible singing as he poured champagne during dinner – magical doesn’t even come close to describing Ted throughout the weekend. The running joke was that he had to have had multiple twins because it was impossible for him to be doing so many things at once! Chef Mike spent hours on the phone with us working through every detail of foods we liked and disliked, brainstorming ideas but most importantly delivering on dish after dish that’s quality and taste were only surpassed by whatever dish followed behind it. Time and time again people tell us they haven’t had food so delicious EVER let alone as a part of a wedding. If the manor were a restaurant we are sure they would have 125 returning customers after the culinary experience we had the weekend of our wedding. Not only did we feel this way but our friends and family could not stop talking about every person on the LTM team. They made us feel so special we hugged them out the door on Sunday as if they were our own family. We would give anything to experience our wedding at LTM all over again and we’d love for other couples to have the same experience. From the bottom of our hearts, this was the most special weekend of our lives and it was all thanks to our lovely Lord Thompson Manor family. We wrote a longer review but character limits stopped us, if you want it ask LTM!

    Thank You Lord Thompson Manor!

    Back in 2021, we came to view Lord Thompson Manor as our first wedding venue. Afterwards, we only went to one other venue, and decided that there were no more that we wanted to go see. Lord Thompson Manor was the one for us. We loved the uniqueness of Lord Thompson Manor, because we are not ballroom people! We are thrilled with our decision and wish we could relive the weekend over and over. Everything was absolutely perfect. Everyone within the Lord Thompson Manor staff was so accommodating and beyond caring and kind. The staff truly made us feel like we were family. It was so hard to leave on that Sunday! The attention to detail was immaculate and hasn't gone unnoticed. Many friends and family members have taken the time to reach out to us and our parents letting us know how Lord Thompson Manor was the most beautiful venue and how it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Jackie will take your vision, and make it a reality. Ted and Janice will make you feel like family and will make sure that everyone is okay and has everything they need. Andrew will answer any and all questions you have, and takes the time to explain everything you need to know. What a spectacular venue! Thank you again so much to everyone at Lord Thompson Manor! We are forever grateful for the amount of work and care you put into every single wedding that you have there. Thank you so much!

    A dream wedding!

    Our wedding at Lord Thompson Manor was an absolute dream and I can only hope that other couples run to book with this fantastic team. As busy professionals, my husband and I were daunted by the prospect of planning our big wedding celebration around our busy schedules, but the team at Lord Thompson made those fears melt away. From our first meeting with Andrew, it was clear that this venue was unique (an English style manor in a quiet corner of Connecticut that oozed elegance and class), accessible (a good middle ground for travel for friends and family coming from different states and countries), and had built in planning and coordination, florals, food and alcohol, and accommodations to make the weekend run seamlessly. The team at the Manor will proudly tell you that all they do is weddings, and it shows! Compared to some of the other venues we looked at, we loved that the Manor and Cottage House was all ours for the whole weekend and that we, and our guests, would have undivided, personalized attention. No rushing between venues or working around other weddings. Just time to celebrate with friends and family. We left the meeting knowing that our wedding would be a great party and we were excited to book with them. From my first meeting with Jackie (the co-owner and planner/coordinator/florist/jack of all trades) I was impressed by her attention to detail and professionalism, and as the weeks and months went by I was blown away by how she turned my haphazard vision into a clear and beautiful reality as if she had read my mind! She also incorporated our backgrounds into the wedding weekend to give it that extra personal touch. I took lots of comfort in being able to call Jackie or Janice and going over the wedding weekend schedule, plans, and forms at least 10 times. They indulged my questions and stresses with such care and warmth. Leading up to the big day, the venue hosts a 'tasting' where you (and 4 friends/family) can see your table settings/decor, taste your food, and see the venue as it would be on your wedding weekend. You get a chance to see the colors and themes other couples have chosen, too, if you're looking for additional inspiration! The tasting experience made it so easy to touch base with Jackie and Janice about the flowers and arrangements, with Chef Mike about the food (which was mouth watering), Andrew about financials, and other preferred vendors, including the transportation team, Bonardi's formalwear, and the team at the Kiss Spa. Lord Thompson has created a great community to support the couples who chose to celebrate there and leverage that to ensure a smooth and amazing experience. They also coordinated with our outside vendors very nicely! Our wedding weekend itself could not have gone any smoother. Our wedding attendants, Janice and Ted, were by our sides the whole weekend and made sure our families and wedding parties settled into their accommodations and had everything they needed (and I mean everything!). The wedding rehearsal was meticulously planned and the rehearsal dinner and welcome gathering at the venue went off without a hitch. The wedding day itself was a beautiful, sun-soaked day at this gorgeous venue, filled with love and laughter, and according to our guests, some of the best food they've ever had (seriously, the food all weekend was AMAZING)! I cannot thank the team enough for making the Manor feel like home for the weekend and for taking such good care of us. We are forever grateful!

    If I could give LTM 10 stars, I would

    It's difficult for me to categorize LTM as a “venue” because it truly is an overall experience. They have perfected the wedding weekend idea. It was so fun/convenient to have our closest family and friends hang out at a single location for the whole weekend (from Rehearsal Dinner to Sunday Breakfast). Huge plus - the Cottage House has an onsite spa where all of the bridesmaids get ready; no need to worry about transporting people early in the morning for hair/makeup.

    Aesthetically, the Manor is STUNNING, elegant, yet has such a cozy and warm feel from the dark wood-paneled walls and the fireplaces. The ceremony and outdoor spaces are beautifully landscaped and covered in cabanas, lounge furniture, fire pits, and yard games. The Cottage House is so well-decorated in a neutral palette; perfect for getting ready photos.

    But aside from the location itself, the true magic is the team that runs the operation. I was an out-of-state bride and the LTM team made the planning process so simple and easy and the wedding day went by seamlessly. Everyone that works there (the owners, the coordinators, the waitstaff, the bartenders, etc.) is accommodating, attentive and they take the utmost care of their couples and families from the initial meeting to check-out on Sunday. They treated us like family and made the Manor feel like our home for the weekend, which is truly unique from a standard wedding venue. The staff goes above and beyond on EVERY DETAIL and they are proactive to help…e.g., Janice printed a last minute menu customization for one of our guests; My MOH’s dress strap broke as we were heading to the ceremony, and within a matter of seconds, Janice sewed it back on; Jackie went above and beyond and helped one of the bridesmaids get to the airport (because her ride had fallen through) the day we were all checking out…the list goes on. Know that if you book LTM, nothing will go wrong…seriously. They are wedding experts, they have seen it all and they know their venue inside and out. I truly believe that there isn’t a problem that could not be fixed on the fly.

    Andrew makes the planning process easy and clear to understand. If you like whiskey, add the whiskey tasting bar! Andrew hosts it and it was the most professional whiskey tasting set-up I have ever seen. A huge hit with our guests!

    Jackie has such a creative eye. She put together the most stunning florals and decor and provided so much guidance during planning process. I knew I could trust her to bring my vision to life.

    Janice and Ted are masters at the weekend coordination and are just the most kind, caring people that you would want to have by your side on your wedding day. As a bride, I felt so secure knowing that Janice and Ted would tell us where we needed to be and when; everything was on schedule.

    Chef Mike’s food is hands-down incredible and he serves plenty of amazing options that our guests loved. All of the weekend meals were so memorable. Chef Mike was extremely easy to work with on any customizations we requested and takes food allergies/dietary restrictions very seriously. Regarding the bar/drink options - amazing. If you love espresso martinis, you will love LTM’s bartenders :)

    
If you are considering LTM, take a tour; you will not be disappointed. Pictures do not do it justice and you have to meet the team to really understand what makes this place so special. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer.

    Couldn't have picked a better place!

    LTM is not just a wedding venue. It was a wedding experience like no other! Andrew & Jackie have formulated the perfect procedure to execute weddings as nothing we've ever seen before. We are so happy we chose them as our venue, and would highly recommend LTM to anyone. Our wedding landed smack in the middle of the pandemic. When Andrew and I spoke, he assured me that at LTM, they were problem solvers. They were able to execute a beautiful, fun, and safe wedding for us and everyone who attended. I honestly could not thank them enough for making us so happy. We didn't feel like a guest at an establishment, but more like visiting family for a big reunion with the staff included. Everyone including Chef Mike, Ted, Janice, and Lauren produced an amazing performance. Weddings hopefully happen once, don't miss your opportunity to have your big day at Lord Thompson Manor!

    Amazing wedding !

    Review coming from groom...hands down this venue is excellent and I would pick again without question or hesitation.... -Attention to detail .. 5 stars. quality of food & Beverages... 5 stars... ability to delegate (don't feel like picking the exact color napkins?) they will handle and you know it will come out perfect ... 5 stars. style/ uniqueness- 5 stars... we had 200+ people with a 10 piece band and on a nice day everyone fit without any issue. this venue is the perfect blend of unique/ classy but also capable of handling and throwing a large party. Food was 5 stars. overall, this venue cares and understands they are handling one of the most important days of your life, and they do it with pride and attention to detail. i cannot stress the importance of this enough. we had the reception/ welcome party there, after party, and all day " hang out" the day of the wedding. several friends and family want to inquire about having their weddings here. net net, jackie and andrew now how to host a wedding and they do it right.

    Best Wedding Ever

    This Review is coming from the groom...Without question this is an awesome place, The Manor stands out above the rest and it is not even close. The attention to detail is incredible. Just like other reviews, I still have people saying it is the best wedding they have ever been to (still happening over a year later). The Staff is a great team and just as great to work with. They take weddings to an entirely different level and they do it with pride and attention to detail. We wanted a Great Party and we got a great Party, people were coming up to me during the Wedding telling me how amazing everything was and what a great time they were having. That was pretty cool, and I clearly understand and appreciate what it takes to make that happen. So if that is what you’re looking for check out the Manor.

    Amazing experience

    As I come down from the high of my daughter’s most perfect wedding this past weekend, I had to share our experience with Lord Thompson Manor. I hesitate to even refer to LTM as a “venue” because the mansion, The Cottage and the Watson Inn truly become your home for the weekend.
    As if 2020 hadn’t dealt us enough already, the 2 days before the wedding brought a few more major curveballs. As last minute changes seemed devastating at the time, with each new obstacle Jackie and Janice became the surrogate moms to my daughter – a shoulder to cry on, bringing her dinner and making sure she ate, homemade cookies…again, this is before the wedding weekend even began!
    Janice and Jackie – I know you will forever hold a very special place in my daughter’s heart.
    Ted - some sort of wedding/host/jack of all trades superpower…I saw him shoveling snow, stoking the fires, meticulously serving the wedding dinner to my family and I’m sure a million other things I didn’t see as he tended to the groom and groomsmen at the Manor all weekend.
    Chef Mike – the food was amazing. From the barbecue themed rehearsal dinner and its desserts to the wedding dinner, the passed hor d’oeuvres, the Sunday brunch. “Throwing together” some lunch for family just arriving on Friday and getting ready with the girls at The Cottage, where every time I turned around someone was offering me coffee, tea, fruit, veggies.
    Jackie -my girlfriend is a florist and in all the weddings and events she’s done over the years, she couldn’t believe how gorgeous the flowers and how creative their arrangements were.
    The attention to detail and the level of customer service at LTM went above and beyond anything I’ve ever experienced. With owners and a staff that become as invested in your wedding as you are, this is not your typical 5 hour reception with a “wedding coordinator”. This is a weekend event, an experience your guests will talk about for a long time and a group of people that turned every vision of the bride and groom into a reality.

    Speechless

    Ok so, reviews are a formal assessment of something using the most descriptive words you can think of to express your experience with a place, product, or person. Therefore, I truly don’t know how to write this review of Lord Thompson Manor because the venue, the staff, and ambiance left me and my entire family SPEECHLESS.

    The only word I can think of to describe our entire wedding planning process as well as the wedding weekend is PERFECT. Let me tell you LTM could have a space in the dictionary under “wedding geniuses.” Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions my husband and I made. The second we set foot in this venue for our tour we instantly felt at home. We knew right away that LTM was our venue. Not only because it is beautiful but we felt the most amazing vibe from Andrew and the rest of the staff. They know what type of place they run and they couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.

    The one complaint I have is that we couldn’t stay longer because I would have, haha. We did not want to leave. You won't want to either.

    DO NOT hesitate to go on a tour of this venue. It was just pure class from start to finish. The PERFECT wedding venue.

    Thank you Lord Thompson Manor!!!

    Simply wonderful

    The wonderful people at this beautiful venue far exceeded our expectations in their sincere devotion to making the wedding an extraordinary event for the principles and all for each of the guests. So many of our guests have made a point of telling us how amazed they were by the thoughtfulness and artfulness of the people working at Lord Thompson. Throughout the process everyone there took remarkable time and care over every detail --and they took PLEASURE in making everything beautiful and meaningful. The entire weekend was a joy --start to finish, full of sweet care, elegance and genuine commitment. We all felt a personal and truly lovely investment in the event from everyone at Lord Thompson. I can hardly thank them enough.

    I'm not sure any review can do this venue and staff justice, not only is the actual venue stunning, the staff accommodates every need, detail, guest, vendor and vision for an entire weekend. Having the capacity to stay at the manor and cottage house, host the rehearsal and Sunday brunch at the same location and provide gorgeous florals throughout as well as catering courtesy of the amazing Chef Mike as well as hair and makeup by Pricilla makes this venue outshine any other.
    We cannot thank Jackie, Andrew, Ted, Kate, Danielle, Chef Mike and Pricilla enough for an absolutely incredible experience. They allowed us to really enjoy every minute of the weekend. This was more than we could have ever dreamed of and cannot say enough about the entire staff who put our wedding together flawlessly.
    A special thank you to Ted who is beyond impressive, knowledgeable and goes above and beyond, even creating our floral arch himself, while showing such hospitality to every single guest. Highly, highly recommend.

    Our wedding in April was absolutely perfect! The attention to detail is incredible. The team at Lord Thompson Manor truly cater your wedding to be exactly how you want it to be. Jackie is the most perfect wedding coordinator and has amazing style and taste when it comes to decorating the manor. Andrew is incredibly organized when it comes to addressing your needs for the bar and handling your overall budget so you have a clear understanding of what will go on. Ted, Kate and Skylar are absolutely amazing at making sure that you have zero worries on your day at the manor and cottage house and will make you feel like royalty with any request you make. (Ted also has a fantastic voice that you will love.) Chef Mike is absolutely amazing and will work his menu around you and your wishes. (Everyone still raves about the hors d’oeuvres.) Priscilla at the cottage house will make you look absolutely stunning and is an incredible stylist that you need on your special day. The whole staff really just made the experience more than 5 stars worth of a review and their service truly made our wedding a beautiful memory. I would highly recommend anyone to have their own amazing wedding at Lord Thompson Manor.

    A magical experience that just can not be described! Excellent Atmosphere, Amazing Staff, Gourmet Food, just a one stop venue with a floral designer who will make the manor glow with excellence. The most knowledgeable planners out there. I can not rave enough about how special everyone made us feel and how you end up leaving as family. The grounds are gorgeous- wonderful for pictures. To this day, guests are raving about how fantastic our wedding day was. My best friend said it best, "well I might as well decline every wedding I am invited to from now on because nothing could top this!" Pure perfection!

    Not entirely sure if any words can do this wedding venue any justice. It’s the most special, elegant place that will always have a piece of our hearts. We are so fortunate to have been able to celebrate that most important day of our lives at LTM with our family and friends.
    LTM was the only place that fulfilled all our wants and needs. From our initial visit and consultation through check-out the staff exceeded every single expectation we had. The memories created here will last with us forever and we will always be so proud to say we had our wedding celebration here in quiet Thompson, CT. From vendors and guests everyone told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and it’s no wonder why. Andrew, Jackie, Ted and the rest of the staff is the best in this industry for a reason. They are always a step ahead.
    The food is phenomenal, the property is magnificent, and whole weekend is magical. We could go on and on, but just know there is NOTHING quite like LTM!

    We celebrated our daughter's wedding at the Lord Thompson Manor this past weekend and the entire experience was magical. Our daughter had wanted to do a 'destination' wedding but we had too many family and friends and elderly people that could not travel a long distance. LTM was the perfect place. We live in CT and our daughter lives in DE. LTM was close enough for people to make it a day trip but in a perfect location to make a weekend getaway if they desired. The staff took care of every detail and made planning this event a pleasure. Unfortunately, just before the ceremony was about to begin, the weather took a turn for the worse with rain marching across the state. The staff quickly and efficiently moved everything inside and kept our daughter calm and happy. The rain did let up enough to enjoy the patio and fireplaces after the ceremony. Every detail was wonderful. The staff was professional and pleasant. Food was equal to any 5-star restaurant around. Every single detail was attended to effortlessly. I would highly recommend this venue for a stress free, exquisite event.

    It has been about 2.5 months since our wedding at LTM, and word cannot describe how incredible our wedding weekend was. Jackie, Andrew, and the rest of their staff really go above and beyond to make it an amazing production. Everything you can think of is taken care of and carefully planned. A special shout out to Kate and Ted, who helpful put everything together and handle anything that came up. If you are looking for a once in a lifetime experience with your family and friends, my bride and I highly highly highly recommend Lord Thompson Manor.

    Our 10/11/15 Wedding Day was PERFECT! The price was very reasonable given that we had a Sunday wedding. We booked the venue almost a year prior and by the time it came to having to plan details with the LTM i was kind of spent, and this is where the LTM team excels.
    Jackie and Andrew (owners) were incredible. Jackie handled the flowers/decor; when it came time to make decisions I had run out of steam and gave Jackie free reign...she nailed it. I'm still getting compliments about how beautiful everything looked. Andrew was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process answering questions re-sending invoices he was just fantastic to work with.

    The Manor is special because of the team that supports you. Ted (all around coordinator), Danielle and Kate (personal wedding day coordinators), Priscilla (hair and Makeup), Mike (chef). We lucked out and had all of the aforementioned team at our wedding. This is what makes LTM truly special, they have been in business for about 20 years (give or take) and they have weddings down to a science. Our day was flawless and it went off without a hitch. All we have been hearing from guests both day of and since is that it is the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to, even one of my bridesmaids (whose wedding was far more expensive) said "I hate to say this but your wedding was nicer than mine". We also have not stopped hearing about the food, which was truly out of this world. Chef Mike is truly gifted.

    My only regret is that we can't get married every year because although we only spent one day with the LTM team they have made an impression on us that will last forever.

    Andrew and Jackie, the owners of the amazing Lord Thompson Manor, truly outdid themselves with our wedding this past weekend. We are forever grateful to them for creating and aiding in the planning of such an amazing, outstanding and beautiful rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and brunch--truly the wedding weekend of our dreams! Jackie handled the flowers, decor and gave expert coordination during the day and Andrew handled the finances and any and all questions we had. The Manor employs truly the best people of all time--Ted was amazing at anticipating our needs on Saturday and Kate at the Cottage House was so fantastic my bridesmaids and I all decided that we "need our own Kates" in our lives. AMAZING. We are so happy and thrilled with everything at Lord Thompson Manor and will not hesitate to recommend to everyone we know! Thank you thank you thank you all!!!! Love, Caroline & James

    It's been almost 3 weeks since our wedding and we still haven't fully processed just how amazing Lord Thompson and their staff was. Every time we think about the weekend, we remember new details of how great they were.

    Jackie did our flowers and decor and she just knocked it out of the park- my flowers were exactly what I wanted, she goes to such an extreme with the details its amazing (an example of this- they spent time "blowing out" some of the flowers to make them look more open and larger since I really liked a variety of bloom sizes, I had never even heard of this!) She put so much thought into every detail and it truly made the day infinitely more special (she bought a canvas LOVE print to display at the wedding that reminded her of my invitation and then let me keep it after the wedding!).

    Andrew handles the finances and also ran our scotch and cigar bar which was a HUGE hit. He was wonderful to work with and made sure we felt comfortable with every expense.

    Chef Mike is so talented, the food he created for our menu was unbelievable. Unlike other venues, LTM encouraged you to customize the dining experience with food you love and Mike will make it better than you ever imagined.

    Kate, the host at the Cottage House (their sister property where my bridesmaids and I stayed and got ready) was so wonderful and helped coordinate every detail to make our stay easy and enjoyable.

    Ted, the host at the Manor was unreal- he constantly checked in with us throughout the night and made sure everything we wanted was taken care of. He even sang to me as we were headed to the ceremony to help relieve any pre-ceremony jitters.

    The only bad part of the weekend was leaving, we were so sad it was over and didn't want to say bye to the wonderful staff. We truly hope friends of ours use Lord Thompson Manor for their weddings in the future so we can continue to come back to this magical place again and again.

    They were absolutely amazing! Our wish was their command. They went so far above and beyond what we could have imagined - everything was absolutely perfect. As soon as you start to think that you want something, it's being handed to you. At 2am we were still sitting outside around the fire and we see Ted come out, thinking he's going to say that we need to pack it in, but instead, he brings us a huge bowl of popcorn. Not only that, but we forgot our cake top in the fridge when we left and Ted brought it to us over an hour away!

    I can't say enough about how wonderful Lord Thompson Manor is! I would give a 10 in each category if I could. It's the most spectacular wedding venue I've ever experienced, and all of our guests agreed. Jackie and Andrew work with you to make your day totally unique and they execute on the vision flawlessly. Each wedding is a pleasure for them to coordinate and the approach is a completely tailored experience, the opposite of cookie-cutter. I loved that the entire venue was mine all weekend - made the experience so relaxing; felt like a vacation getaway. Yes, you pay more for a venue of this caliber than for others, but I felt that what we received was well worth the cost, and feel that the cost was reasonable given the experience that they created for us. We feel like Andrew and Jackie are like family 4 years later, and recommend this venue to everyone we know who's getting married. It's unlike any other!

    The Lord Thompson Manor provided us with a dream wedding that people continue to still talk about. My husband and I have been married for almost 4 years now and we still hear about how amazing our wedding was. The staff is incredible and they bend over backwards to ensure everything is perfect. The venues allows for a unique experience where if you choose, you can have an entire wedding weekend there. Furthermore, you have the week prior to your wedding date to visit the manor if you need to for consultation or even just to bring up wedding material i.e. dress, props, etc. The food is culinary dream and nothing is too much to ask for. The team there works with you on an individual basis to ensure the your wedding is everything you could possibly want. The atmosphere is amazing and it is so unique that they have the cottage as well which hosted my bridesmaid luncheon, spa retreat day and hair/make-up place. I can't say enough wonderful things about this place and will have memories from this wedding weekend that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much Jackie, Andrew and the entire staff at the Lord Thompson Manor for creating the wedding of our dreams.

    We had a beautiful, incredibly personal wedding at the Lord Thompson Manor. From the beginning, Jackie and Andrew made our wedding planning experience a breeze. Jackie was extremely responsive and worked diligently to meet all of our wishes, including coming up with a menu and decor for the unique, somewhat unorthodox, rehearsal dinner theme that we requested. Jackie is a creative and an superbly talented designer. Her floral arrangements for our rehearsal dinner were just as beautiful as the arrangements from our florist (who produced phenomenal, magazine-worthy arrangements). The best part about doing our wedding weekend at the LTM is that we were welcomed with such warmth, that it felt as if we were holding the wedding weekend at our own private estate. Who can beat that? I cannot recommend the LTM highly enough.

    At the Lord Thompson Manor, Jackie, Andrew and their incredible staff created the most memorable, magical day we could have ever hoped for. Their attention to detail and natural skill at pulling of a wedding is incredible. They did everything imaginable to make sure the day was perfect. Through the whole thing, they were calm, patient, and responsive-- a true joy to work with. And you couldn't pick a more beautiful, elegant place for a wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend the Lord Thompson Manor to anyone.

    All of the vendors we had for our wedding were 5/5s, wonderful, everything we could have asked.

    Still, Lord Thompson Manor was head and shoulders above all of them and really made our wedding weekend a dream come true.

    Jackie and Andrew were extremely helpful along the way in our wedding planning (and for those of you thinking of LTM, you don't need a wedding planner, these two tell you everything you need to know, and they, along with the staff, take care of everything on wedding weekend and wedding day).

    They were extremely flexible, and while we took some of their suggestions, we also had plenty of our own ideas which Jackie, Andrew, Ted, Chef Mike, and the entire LTM staff worked tirelessly to make sure all of our desires were realized.

    Jackie put together all of the flowers for our wedding, which were even more beautiful than we hoped, and when we arrived the Thursday before the wedding, Ted served as our host for the weekend and was unbelievable. He made sure every one of our guests, those staying at LTM and the Cottages, or not, had everything they needed, and whenever we needed something he was right there for us, getting water, helping with sports equipment for us to use, even singing songs.

    From our perspective, we wanted the wedding weekend to just be a weekend of fun, happy times with the people closest to us, and thanks to Lord Thompson Manor's accomodations, grounds, and incredible service, we got everything we could have ever hoped for our wedding.

    We and our friends and family are still floating on air from our recent weekend wedding extravaganza at the Lord Thompson Manor. As a same sex couple, we were not sure how such a highly regarded wedding venue as LTM would welcome us. From the moment we first stepped through the door, we immediately felt part of the Manor family, a feeling which only grew through the planning process, the wedding itself, and even afterwards.

    On multiple occasions during our wedding weekend, Andrew (one of the owners) asked us if they were able to meet our expectations. Our answer in each instance was the same, "You far exceeded anything we could have imagined." Our friends and family cannot stop talking about how amazing everything was from the rehearsal dinner, to the breakfast on Saturday, the wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, the after-party and Sunday brunch. Repeatedly, we heard comments such as, "The food was incredible," "What a beautiful place," "You guys thought of everything!!!" and "That was the most amazing wedding EVER!!!" not to mention “I need more of that BBQ brisket!” from the rehearsal dinner

    None of this could have been possible without the creativity and vision of Jackie, Chef Mike and Ted, as well as the patience of Andrew in keeping everything in order. They attended to every detail from providing wonderful Pashminas for our female guests, saving hors d'oeuvres for us to sample, to Ted bringing us sushi during the post-ceremony photos.... the list goes on and on!!!

    Of all the compliments our guests had, the most frequently offered both during and after the wedding weekend were regarding the incredible flowers. Jackie and Ted literally blew the roof off with the flowers. Why anyone would use an outside florist is beyond comprehension! We will always recall vividly the multiple creative and beautiful arrangements which adorned the Manor.

    We had heard what a challenging and unpleasant process planning a wedding could be. However, working with Jackie as our wedding planner and with Andrew as our finance man, we felt secure and confident from start to finish.

    Most people imagine that their wedding will be the most beautiful, incredible experience of their lives. We are fortunate to say that because of everyone associated with the Manor, our wedding truly was. We only wish we could do it all over again – but we would not change a thing.

    Anyone who is looking to get married in Connecticut should RUN to the Lord Thompson Manor. In addition to being an absolutely breath-taking location, the food, service, flowers (you should use Jackie and Ted as your florists - they do truly amazing work and are VERY cost effective), and wedding planning, they make planing a wedding so easy and enjoyable.

    You will not regret anything!

    There is no superior venue to the Manor. Your every need is addressed, before you even think of it, throughout your wedding weekend. My guests continue to rave about the event. The physical location, the food, and the staff are amazing and no other wedding venue can compare with the attention to detail. Your event is not one of several in a week so it's something they're planning for as much as you are.

    We could not have asked for a more perfect weekend. Jackie, Andrew, Ted, and Kelly are amazing. We knew that things would go well, but could never have dreamed that they would make things run as smoothly as they did. From reminding us to visit each table during dinner, to finding lost earrings, to getting water or anything else we needed at any hour. . . The Lord Thompson Manor is a dream come true.

    Simply put, the Lord Thompson Manor knocked it out of the park! My husband and I were married at the Lord Thompson Manor in August 2016, and since then, not a day goes by that we don't talk about how amazing our wedding weekend was. It was truly the most unforgettable weekend of our lives. We cannot give enough credit and praise to the entire LTM staff for executing everything so flawlessly. In all honestly, there was not a single detail that was overlooked. This does not just refer to the wedding day - the attention to detail spanned from our early arrival on Thursday night to the rehearsal dinner on Friday evening all the way through to the send-off brunch on Sunday morning. Absolute perfection!

    That being said, we have to give a very special thanks to Kate, Chef Mike, Jackie, Andrew, and ESPECIALLY, Danielle & Ted! All members of the staff worked tirelessly with my husband and I to create the perfect menus, drinks, décor, and set the mood that truly makes weddings feel "magical." Our guests are still raving about how our wedding was the best they've ever been to - from the food to the final send off!

    All in all, the thing that puts the Lord Thompson Manor in a league of its own in regard to wedding venues is the fact that they truly listen and care about what you want as a couple. Honestly, by the end of our amazing weekend, we felt like members of the LTM staff were like family - that is how special they made us feel. It is still surreal that they were able to perfectly create such a beautiful atmosphere of love & affection. Nobody wanted the weekend to end!

    Thank you again for everything. Words really do not do it justice. We wish we could do it all over again!

    We had an incredible wedding experience at the Lord Thompson Manor. As a couple with very busy professional lives, living 300 miles away, the staff at the Lord Thompson Manor made planning a wedding incredibly stress free and easy. Every person we worked with at LTM is exceptional at their job, professional and demonstrates wonderful attention to detail. They paid close attention to the things which were important to us in order to make the experience feel custom made and not replicated. Jackie is wonderful at concept designs and the floral displays / arrangements. Danielle was our wedding planner and was a phenomenal liaison for us. She had every detail down, knew the time line to the minute and was not afraid to be our spokesperson with some of our vendors - ie: the band. Kate was instrumental on making sure things ran on time at the Cottage House on the day of. And Ted, the host at LTM, goes above and beyond his duties - even offering to drive some of our guests home who rented an Air BNB in Webster, MA and did not arrange transportation back after our rehearsal dinner. Overall, for two people who could not be less enthused with planning a wedding, Lord Thompson Manor made the process easy, enjoyable, and intimate. This translated into a wedding and reception that neither us nor our families will forget. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a wedding weekend experience in new england.

    Magical!!!

    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!

    Lord Thompson Manor was the first wedding venue that my husband and I had visited 2 years ago when we began our search for the perfect place to get married. The both of us and our families immediately fell in love with LTM however we did continue to visit about 3 other venues. To us, nothing compared to LTM. So much character and it fit the both of us so well. We decided to chose LTM for our big day.
    I am so glad we did. When I say perfection and attention to detail I really mean it. I had shared my ideas with Jackie and she went above and beyond what I wanted. It was a real life fairytale. The most magical and beautiful day of my life. The staff is great and Ted is the best! One of my cousins had a broken foot and the way they accomidated her, she said she felt like the bride! If you are looking for a place with lots of character and a totally classic feel with amazing service. Look no further. My wedding was more than I imagined it to be. It was perfect.

    You won't find a nicer venue in Connecticut! Lord Thompson Manor had us totally covered - from great food to stunning decor, Lord Thompson Manor is a 1 stop shop for the perfect wedding. Andrew and Jackie were really great to work with and Jackie truly made my wedding dreams come true with the decor and details. And Chef Jeff worked with my husband and I on creating a custom menu that knocked everyone off their feet! Ted and Kate also helped make the day run smoothly and I was so thankful to have Ted from the moment we arrived to the second we left. People have not stopped talking about how flawless our wedding was.

    Our only wish now is that we could have been guests at our wedding, but we really hope to come back to Lord Thompson Manor soon!

    The Lord Thompson Manor is an absolute dream venue! It is stunningly beautiful and romantic and our guests were all completely wowed! Jackie and Andrew are great to work with, very responsive, and have great attention to detail. Jackie did our flowers and they were completely stunning. Everyone kept talking about the food, it was completely delicious, and we had a lot of "this is the best food I have ever had at a wedding" comments. All of the staff are so helpful and accommodating. We had our whole wedding party stay on the premises and it was so much fun to have everyone together. The staff make everything very easy and peaceful on the wedding day and I did not feel stressed or worried because I knew that everything would be executed perfectly. Ted was also a huge help throughout the wedding weekend, as was the staff at the Cottage House. We could not have picked a better location to get married, it was a totally ideal wedding weekend. I could not recommend this venue more highly!

    We loved our wedding at the Lord Thompson Manor. Jackie and the team thought of and covered just about every single detail - making our wedding weekend stress free and fabulous. Chef Mike and the culinary team at the Manor are amazing and were great to work with. Our guests are still talking about how great the food and venue were. I have to give my husband credit for finding the venue in the first place - we were looking for a venue that'd offer a full wedding weekend, and the Manor was a perfect fit.

    The service staff (save for the bartenders) are exceptional at LTM, My wedding was beautiful, and the staff did such a nice job with the weekend regarding the food and service, my only complaint was the bartenders' service. The head of the service was rude to my husband, constantly coming up to him during the rehearsal dinner to tell him how much more everything was going to cost because we were so late coming from the reception (when my husband was not the person in charge of the bar costs). I also firmly believe they inflated their numbers regarding the open bar. Several guests also indicated the bartending staff were less than friendly. Save for the complaint about the bar, the site is exceptional. The lack of stars is attributable directly to the bartending.
