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 lo... Read morenger 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!!!

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... Read more 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.

Beautiful venue, friendly staff, and they out together our dream wedding!

The Lord Thompson Manor is absolutely beautiful. They are so organized and very helpful. Our wedding was perfect!

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!

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.

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 t...

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... Read more 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.

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.

The most incredible wedding experience that I ( the groom ) or our guests have ever had!
