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, hi... Read moreghly recommend.

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!

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...

I would highly recommend anyone to have their own amazing wedding at Lord Thompson Manor.

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 atte... Read morended 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 year... Read mores (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 ... Read moreMike 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.

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... Read more." 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 A...

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.

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!
