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!!!

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.

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

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.

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!

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!!

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

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!!!

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!

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 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.

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.

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 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!
