Shelley B. Sent on 12/18/2021Perfect Wedding Venue
We had our October wedding here and it was perfect! We did the floral and decor package which made everything way easier. The staff was great and flexible. The combination of indoor and outdoor space was a hit and our guests keep telling us how much they loved the venue. -

Our wedding was completely magical thanks to Sammy at THG. She put our thoughts and dreams into action. Our day was so "us" and absolutely incredible. I cannot recommend enough!Thompson House & Gardens's reply:

I was married in October during a week day. They were able to accommodate my wishes in what my vision of the evening was suppose to look like. I was able to do a standard rehearsal as well. The staff was very friendly and professional. A very positive experience overall. -

Brittany Sent on 09/06/2018We visited a handful of venues, but none of them could compare to Thompson House & Gardens (THG). We wanted a venue that was a reflection of us and this venue was just that. Very intimate setting and it just seemed as if we were “home”. The house is great and they have so many ways to make it personable! Tiffany was the manager when we first booked and she was great throughout the entire engagement process! She moved shortly before the wedding and the new manager, Melanie, stepped right in. Also, Dana, who is the manager at their sister venue, 9 Oaks Farms, was excellent!! She was so responsive and so kind!! Always in great spirits when we called to ask questions. On, the owner, did an outstanding job on the flowers. They were beautiful!!!! Overall, this venue and their staff are great! Couldn’t have imagined our wedding day at any other venue. Thank you THG for helping us have a perfect wedding day at such a beautiful venue! Highly recommend!! Also a plus that this venue includes florals, decor, and much more. Also, unlike so many other venues, THG allows you to bring in your own vendors for food, DJ, bartender AND you can provide your own alcohol!! Can’t beat it!!! -
Marci Sent on 09/05/2018Thomas House & Gardens was the perfect venue for our wedding! The staff worked with us the entire time! The venue is very spacious and accommodated all 230 guests that showed for our big day! Most all decor is included in the price you pay along with the flowers (which were absolutely beautiful) For us it was a no brainier; it was a one stop shop and made it less stressful on me, the bride! I would not have changed a thing and highly recommend the staff and venue!

User2494708 Sent on 01/05/2016My husband and I got married at the Thompson House and Gardens (THG) in Nov 2015. THG was exactly what we were looking for -- instead of having our wedding guests restricted to one room which is the case at many other venues, we wanted our guests to be able to walk around the whole venue, sit and chat in one of the smaller rooms of the house, and go outside. There are string lights out back that are very pretty, and we also had the string quartet play during the cocktail hour while our guests talked, enjoyed drinks and hors d'oeuvres, and played giant jenga and croquet.
We did not have a wedding planner, but we did ask Sheila to be our day-of wedding coordinator. Sheila does this for an extra price, and it is totally worth it. My husband made the remark after the wedding that we were really lucky to have Sheila there to help with the planning and coordinating of the wedding. Sheila decorated the house the way we asked her to, she reminded us of all of the little details that we may have otherwise forgotten (such as getting our marriage license!), she ordered and arranged all of the beautiful flowers, she contacted the vendors (DJ, photographer, etc) to make sure there were no problems, she directed the bridesmaids and family down the aisle during the actual wedding, she made sure the banquet hall was set up appropriately as we had discussed, and she put my items in the get-away car at the end of the night. She also kept everything on schedule and let me know when it was time for the toasts, cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc. During the wedding, many of my guests commented that every detail was perfect, and we really have to give Sheila credit for that.
The only downside that comes to mind is that the venue is somewhat close to the street, and I was worried that we would hear cars going by. However, it is not a busy street, especially on the weekend, and our wedding guests were mostly in the backyard or in the house anyway, so it wasn't a problem. -
User1958820 Sent on 12/08/2014Thompson House and Gardens was wonderful! The staff was more than willing to work with us to make our big day be picture perfect--and with the way this venue looks, it is! Sheila was my coordinator and her number one priority was making sure the wedding went as planned and did it with a great attitude! I would definitely recommend this venue and Sheila as a coordinator. -
User1645477 Sent on 06/03/2014This venue is absolutely stunning. We fell in love with the size and uniqueness of the back and front yard. It gave guests so many places to explore and made everyone feel extremely welcome. The decorations and table set-ups were exactly as we asked for them. They are a flexible staff, yet extremely knowledgeable about their craft. We loved the room upstairs to take a minute to eat, gather our thoughts, and bustle my dress. We had roughly 100 guests and an 8 piece band and the dance floor allowed for plenty of room to dance and to sit and watch. The guests truly loved the location and we received a ton of praise. Finally, the Thompson House has so many garden shots with a variety of backgrounds for pictures. -
User1614200 Sent on 05/10/2014Our wedding at THG was perfect. The venue is beautiful (especially the outdoor patio at night). Our coordinator, Sheila, created our dream wedding by taking our ideas from pinterest and designing all the decorations and flowers based on our tastes. The week leading up to the wedding, she double checked every detail with our vendors to make sure everything would go smoothly. The day of the wedding, she kept everything on track and took care of each little detail so that we did not need to worry about anything. Overall, Sheila and On were wonderful to work with because they are flexible and professional. They also show a sincere interest in making your wedding the best day of your life. -
User1497912 Sent on 01/06/2014We fell in love with Thompson House from the get go, so I was so pleased to find out that it was also a good price. They are very flexible and allow you to use your own vendors (besides floral) which is a great plus. On and Sheila did an excellent job making the space look absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend Thompson House to anyone in the Athens, Bogart, and Watkinsville area, and for anyone in the Atlanta area looking for something that is a much better deal than anything in that area. We could not have been more pleased with everything.

User1547477 Sent on 02/28/2014We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Thompson House. Everything was absolutely exceptional, and we loved every minute of it. On and Shela did a wonderful job with the flowers. They met with me a few months before to go over what I wanted for flowers and decorations. They had so many great suggestions and it all turned out more perfect than I imagined. Nothing at all went wrong during our wedding and we had guests complimenting the wedding for months after. You will not regret booking this venue, it is awesome!
