Lord Thompson Manor Staff, where do I begin?
First, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you guys did on June 7, 2025.
You truly made our wedding day magical. We had...
the time of our lives. Truth be told when I saw, it was going to rain, I was devastated. Looking back at all you guys did to set up outside and inside, to making us feel special, to your beautiful wedding venue. I wouldn't change a thing! Andrew and Jackie, you were not kidding when you said you knew how to throw a good party. All of you are so special to me. Janice, how would I have gotten through the day without you. You advocated, planned, organized, and made me feel special all day long. I will never forget how you treated me like royalty on my wedding day. Ted, you are a household name among my friends and family. I have a picture of you with the leaf blower trying to dry the lawn off so I could keep my vision of having photos outside. You catered to Connor and I. My father said "Don't worry, Ted will take care of me"
all day long. You made everyone feel so special. P.S I also have to shout out Johnny. He brought the party and our whole wedding party loved him. Thank you, Johnny!! I am running out of room, but Connor and I just needed to thank you all! You are incredible people, and I will never forget you.
Love, Morgan and Connor Dailey

I am going to try and put into words what the Manor means to us but I assure you that feeling we, and our loved ones, were left with is ethereal. From the moment I met the LTM Fam...
ily, I felt welcomed, warm and cared for. They listen so intently to their couples and bring your ideas to life in a way that is dream-like. Andrew, Jackie, Ted, Janice and their staff have a genuine excitement for your day. It feels uniquely personal. Their design is unmatched, thoughtful and romantic. We felt swept away into blissful elegance. My loved ones, all 150 of them, are still talking about their space and how seamless the weekend felt. They are so incredibly thoughtful, it creates a space where we could be fully present because they had thought of every last detail. The LTM Family is invested in their couples and the couples loved ones. The staff is omnipresent and invisible all at the same time, never missing a beat. The efforts of their team to know each couple and their loved ones is unparalleled. You can see the results of those efforts in the smallest of details throughout the entire weekend. Would not find a more thoughtful team anywhere. As good of a group of listeners they are, they communicate equally as well. Chef Mike’s food is INCREDIBLE! We can’t talk about our wedding without highlighting the incredible chef who made our celebration feel even more unforgettable. The food was nothing short of spectacular—beautifully presented, full of flavor, and crafted with such obvious passion. Our guests are still raving about every course! What stood out most wasn’t just the amazing dishes, but the care behind them. The chef took the time to understand our tastes, personalize the menu, and create something that felt uniquely us. My family had a lot of restrictions when it came to food and Chef mike did not hesitate to assure us that he would accommodate with pleasure. Thank you for turning our wedding meal into an experience we will remember for the rest of our lives. It was perfect. I could go on and on about LTM and all of their personal touches, they feel like family to me. We shared laughs, tears and stories all weekend. They may not know it yet, but we will be sure to be visiting them again soon. We miss them. They also provided any and all the additional helpful information you could possibly ask for in their wedding packet from vendors and musicians, to local shopping and dining. We used many of their vendors and they all exceeded or expectation. Just magical.

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!

When my niece and her fiance for looking for venues they were having a hard time deciding so I googled wedding venues in CT and LTM popped up. I had never heard of it but it looke...
d beautiful so I sent them the link. They visited and the rest is history it has been a week since the wedding at the LTM and we all wish we were back there this weekend reenacting the whole event! This was, hands down, the best wedding I have been to, ever, and I have been to quite a few weddings and have set up quite a few weddings (I worked for a florist). Everyone at the manor was professional, nice, accommodating, unobtrusive, efficient and I could go on endlessly. I have my fingers crossed that I will be invited to another wedding here!! Truly, if you are looking to have an amazing wedding this is the place to have it! If you’re invited to a wedding at LTM make sure you can attend!! You will not be disappointed!

First of all, there aren’t enough stars in the solar system to rate the Lord Thompson Manor!
Ted and Janice were the most professional, organized team I have ever experienced, and ...
I worked in the wedding industry in my prior life. They were pleasant, helpful, constantly checking with the wedding party and their guests, making sure everything was at the highest standards. The location is gorgeous, the manor is just what you would expect it to be. The food was fantastic, from appetizers during cocktail hour, to the after hours offerings. They do it all- a one stop wedding venue, providing all the services needed to make your special day a worry-free occasion.
I could go on and on. The waitstaff were fantastic- so refreshing to see such young people full of energy, eager to please and with positive attitudes. Hard to find these days!
Trust me, you will be in great hands handing the reigns to this fabulous venue. They will make your wedding dreams, or ANY event you are planning, a truly memorable experience!

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. I do not say this lightly that they will forever be like family to me. 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.

Lord Thompson Manor is special. For us, what was most appealing right away was the opportunity to own the space for the weekend. We hosted our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks...
at the manor, and our entire wedding party stayed on the property with us both nights. We moved in. It was luxurious and intimate. The big day was spectacular. The setting, florals, service, attention to detail, and THE FOOD - everything was excellent. Months later and we're still getting rave reviews from our guests. The team at LTM are pros - you will be in great hands with them!

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 grou...
nds) 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!
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.
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!
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!

Wedding planning is hard, let me make it easier for you: book the Lord Thompson Manor.
My husband and I had toured half a dozen places across New England before we saw the Lord T...
hompson Manor. Every place promised to "make our day special," but the Lord Thompson Manor was the only venue that was specific about what they meant.
"We want to make this the best party," Andrew told us. He went on to say they believe the best parties have the best food, service and support planning. And he and his team lived up to that promise every step of the way - our September wedding was seriously the best party.
The team - Andrew, Jackie, Janice, Ted and Chef Mike - think of everything. Every possible detail. Over the course of nearly two years of planning, they listened to our vision and brought it to life and beyond.
The property is truly magical, Jackie's florals and design are breathtaking, Janice's patience with panicked calls and emails at all hours is worthy of sainthood, and I'm not sure I will ever stop hearing from our guests how delicious the food was.
I am only half-jokingly considering planning our vow renewal there next year. For now, I will just cherish the memories of the best party and strongly encourage you to trust yours with the Lord Thompson Manor.

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 a...
nd 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!

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 tha...
t 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.

I can't stop raving about Lord Thompson Manor—for selfish reasons, honestly. I’m already desperate to attend another wedding there.
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.

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 & perfection 😊 You truly brought our 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 received so many compliments from guests saying it was the best wedding venue they have been to! We will truly cherish those memories forever and will always hold a special place for LTM in our hearts. We love you!!!!

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 hones...
ty 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!

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

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 seem...
ingly 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 grounds surrounding the manor are nothing short of breathtaking, with picturesque views in every direction. The natural beauty of the manor added an extra layer of enchantment to the special day.
The food was beyond delicious. There was not a single thing that I ate that I did not enjoy. The service added to the overall dining experience. The wait staff was attentive, professional, and friendly, ensuring that no glass went empty and no request was left unfulfilled. If you're looking for a wedding where the food is as unforgettable as the love being celebrated, you can trust that you're in for an exceptional dining experience.
The room accommodations for the wedding were fantastic! My stay at the cottage was so comfortable. The rooms were so cozy and the thoughtful amenities made me feel at home all weekend. It was the perfect place to relax and recharge in between wedding festivities.
Lastly, the staff at Lord Thompson Manor deserve a standing ovation! Andrew, Jackie, Ted, and Janice’s commitment to excellence is truly unmatched. Every detail, no matter how small, was handled with the utmost care and attention. One of the standout features of this magnificent venue is the staff's unwavering dedication to ensuring that every guest feels welcomed and at home. They went above and beyond to make the entire weekend a memorable experience for not just the bride and groom but for everyone who was there. Their warm smiles and genuine kindness created an atmosphere of pure hospitality!
The Lord Thompson Manor is truly an amazing place. You feel like you are in a bubble filled with love and happiness the entire time you are there. It is, without a doubt, a place where dreams come true. I cannot recommend it enough!!

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 b...
e 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!!!

I was part of a bridal party at Lord Thompson Manor this past weekend and could not be happier with how everything went! First, all of the staff at LTM, especially Janice and Ted, ...
were the best to work with - easygoing and professional from the start, and always made the bridesmaids and groomsman feel very welcomed and at ease! There are no details missed when it comes to making sure that your wedding weekend is perfection. Janice, or as I called her “The Mary Poppins of Weddings”, went above and beyond to make sure all the girls felt comfortable, prepared, and just relaxed throughout the entire weekend. She was always there to lend a helping hand, offer incredible suggestions, and just a calm and happy face. LTM makes everyone feel welcomed and special, making sure that the wedding weekend is memorable from start to finish. There was no detail that was missed - they even somehow had the perfect heel protectors for our heels when walking on the grass! The ambiance and food are 10/10 and all of the individuals providing service did so with a warm smile. It was a beautiful experience to have been part of a wedding at LTM and I definitely recommend this venue for other couples looking to have a beautiful and incredible wedding.

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 t...
hink 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!

My husband and I had our wedding at the Lord Thompson Manor this past weekend, and our wedding was better than we could of ever imagined. The attention to detail that the whole st...
aff at the manor provides is exceptional. The staff kept us on task and provided all the help we could need while wedding planning and preparing for our big weekend. Our weekend at the manor was nothing less than perfect. The staff does such a great job at making you feel welcome and taken care of. They know you by name, have the answers to all your questions before you can even ask them, and are there to keep you on track through the entire process. I knew I would love my wedding but I didn’t expect to truly enjoy my wedding day as much we did. As chaotic and overwhelming as a wedding may be, The Lord Thompson Manor staff made it enjoyable, as stress free as possible, and a weekend we and our guests will never forget!

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!

Ryan and I will be forever grateful for the weekend of a lifetime we and our families experienced with all of you at our wedding celebration back on May 28th. After everything we e...
xperienced related to the pandemic, we will be endlessly appreciative of you all for helping us to live out the wedding we have been dreaming of since first meeting you in 2018. Jackie, thank you for helping us to create the most beautiful atmosphere related to design. The manor exuded elegance and grace while providing comfort and warmth to our closest family and friends. Your team is unbeatable!
Andrew, we will never forget your compassion in marrying us at the very start of COVID and allowing our families to join as one and experience joy in a time where we struggled to find it elsewhere. While we’re sure it brought some stress, we will never forget the two of you providing that space for love (both physically and by officiating, hehe!) You two have created a remarkable family of staff who were clearly so dedicated to providing a joyful environment. Not only were we blown away by the thoughtfulness of Ted and Janice, but by the attention to detail and genuine enjoyment of your entire staff in providing an unforgettable space in time for Ryan and me as well as our guests. Even now, one year out from the big day, our guests (and most importantly our immediate families) have endless compliments as they rave about the weekend. Several guests (and even Facebook friends!) have said it is the best wedding they have ever attended or seen. At least one recently engaged couple is looking into hosting their wedding with you! Thank you for providing fulfillment of our dream as we celebrated something we are endlessly grateful for, our love for each other.
Chef Mike and team are unrivaled; one of the many reasons we chose the manor was for their culinary team and we were NOT disappointed! The food was delicious and was the talk of the wedding.
Huge shout outs to Janice and Ted and their teams; Janice made me feel like the only bride in the world. I was extremely touched by her heartfelt kindness and interest in making every moment unforgettable. When my dress needed to be bustled or my after party dress straps broke, she was RIGHT there to help. Her touching words of love just before the ceremony amongst all of the woman I hold most dear were remarkable and not a single dry eye was left.
Ted was the host of the century; he ensured everything went on without a hitch, even when rained threatened, his team (very graciously) placed chairs outside when I "asked" to try to have an outdoor ceremony. Even when it downpoured moments later (5 minutes before the ceremony), they were kind and I so appreciate that they did everything in their power to help during that moment. We still had an unforgettable ceremony in the conservatory and got to experience our toasts in the front of the manor when the rain stopped. It made for incredible photos!
Each touch of our entire wedding experience (between a mini wedding in 2020 and the wedding celebration of our dreams in 2022) were unforgettable. We joke often that we would like to have the wedding again "next year"! If you are looking for a stunning venue with Newport vibes closer to Boston/Worcester, with staff who are thoughtful, kind, friendly, and interested in fulfilling your every dream, choose Lord Thompson Manor!

I recently got married at the Lord Thompson Manor on 5/20/23, and I must say that the entire weekend was an absolute dream come true. From the moment I first came across LTM online...
, I knew that it was the perfect venue for my wedding. The level of organization and dedication displayed by Andrew, Jackie, Ted, and Janice truly exceeded all my expectations.
Jackie's attention to detail and design is simply amazing. She took my ideas and turned them into a reality, making my table and flower dreams come true. Her creative touch added an extra layer of magic to the entire event. Ted and Janice, on the other hand, were absolute saints. They anticipated our needs before we even realized them ourselves. Their proactive approach and willingness to go above and beyond made everything run smoothly and effortlessly.
I would also like to express my gratitude to Angie from the cottage house. She was incredibly helpful and sweet, and all the guests at the cottage house had nothing but praise for her. The level of care and service she provided was exceptional, and it truly added to the overall experience.
Now let's talk about the food. The culinary experience at Lord Thompson Manor was nothing short of amazing. Chef Mike is a true master of his craft. He took the time to speak with us personally, ensuring that all our preferences and dietary restrictions were taken into account. The menu was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The staff was incredibly accommodating to guests with allergies, going the extra mile to provide safe and satisfying options for everyone.
From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we didn't have to worry about a thing. The staff at Lord Thompson Manor made us feel like part of their family. Their warm and attentive approach created a welcoming and stress-free environment, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment of our special weekend.
I cannot thank the team at Lord Thompson Manor enough for making our wedding weekend truly amazing. They exceeded all our expectations and brought our wedding dreams to life. If you're looking for a venue that not only delivers exceptional service but also goes above and beyond in every aspect, then I wholeheartedly recommend Lord Thompson Manor. They will make your wedding an unforgettable experience.

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 d...
aunted 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.

If anything didn't go as planned, I had no idea because the LTM team ensured the day went smoothly. Lord Thompson Manor made one of the most important days of our lives, the most memorable and I cannot thank and recommend them enough!

Lord Thompson Manor exceeded our expectations and more. The setting is gorgeous, the food is delicious, the wedding weekend experience is fantastic, but it’s the service (from plan...
ning to sunday brunch) that really sets LTM apart. With limited guidance (pinterest link, a few calls, one tasting), Andrew/Jackie/Ted/Janice created an impeccable wedding experience for me, my husband and my guests. As busy working professionals, without a wedding planner, there is no way we could have created such a special weekend. Ted bustled my dress, and was my 80-year old grandfathers guide as he walked down the stairs. Jackie added scented geraniums to my bouquet to relieve stress. Andrew was always available and thinking of unique ways to solve our every ask (we pulled a vintage VW photo booth bus on the lawn). And Janice - she does it all with a smile on her face. My friends still ask about her!
If you are not convinced yet consider:
1) venue can host 200 people until 2 am
2) affiliated inns designated for family and friends
3) hotels nearby that are affordable
4) custom menu, 5 star quality
5) late night vibe - cabana, fire pits, outdoor bars, cornhole/bags where everyone can find their own happiness
6) whatever drinks the guests want (espresso martinis)
On your wedding, you want to be surrounded by genuine, loving people. That is how I’d describe the team at Lord Thompson Manor.

If you're looking for the most enchanting location for your special day, stop searching. You've found it with Lord Thompson Manor. They will go to any length possible to ensure t...
hat your day is as magical as possible - not just for you, but for all of your guests as well. By the way, the enchantment, romance, and magic extends beyond just your single day. You move into the Manor on Friday and the staff transform it into your home for the weekend - rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and brunch (you will NOT leave hungry!)
As for your ceremony, your guests are welcomed into your "home" and treated to every aspect of romance that a wedding can possibly offer. The staff are a well-oiled machine that ensures every cue is not just met, but performed with charm, professionalism, and most importantly, a personal touch. The Manor maintains such rich and stunning features and is the perfect backdrop to any fairy tale setting. It stands in contrast, too, to the Cottage House, where your partner and bridal party members can also retreat to for peace, respite, and relaxation in order to prepare for your day.
Planning a wedding can be stressful. If there is any detail to your wedding that you're worried about, the staff at the Manor have more than likely not only confronted it, but solved it. From decor, flowers, food and beverage, and even where to stand and what to say, they are prepared to put your mind at ease so that you can focus on what you're there for - having the best day of your life.
You don't often get to think about, or plan, the "best day of your life." Lord Thompson Manor not only affords you that ability, but goes to whatever length necessary to ensure that when you move out on Sunday, you're left with memories you'll cherish and moments you'll talk about for the rest of your life.
We cannot thank Andrew, Jackie, Ted, and Janice enough for making our wedding weekend the most magical, romantic, and enchanting memory ever. You're family now.

We got married at LTM on 8.28.21. I cannot say enough good things about this venue! Everyone was SO helpful and made the process SO easy. It actually down poured the whole ceremon...
y, but I wouldn't change it for the world!
From the start, I knew I did not want a large ballroom wedding, however I was slightly hesitant about how the dinner and dancing would go, since everyone is seated in separate rooms. This was not an issue at all, and looking back, I can't believe I even thought this.
From the beginning, we had a team of people dedicated to helping us. Andrew and Jackie are phenomenal. They are responsive, kind, and they genuinely care about making your experience special.
I want to start by saying, my husband and I were quite busy throughout the planning process. I was in school full time and working, and he was in a medical fellowship. I could not imagine having had a wedding somewhere else. They made the process SO easy for us.
I love that we had the property for the weekend, including the cottage house and the manner. Our rehearsal dinner was at the manor, super convenient, and absolutely gorgeous.
One example that sums up the process to me was planning florals. I sent Jackie a few pictures of what I wanted, we had one phone call, and she made my vision come to life! The same goes for the rehearsal dinner décor and wedding décor. This was a huge contrast to my friends, who were also planning fall weddings. They had multiple meetings, phone calls, and headaches over simple things, like the florals, make up artists, and even chairs. I did not have any of this!
On the day of the wedding, I had my own support and planning person, Janice. She was amazing, went above and beyond. She kept us on time, and even sewed a strap back on my friends bridesmaid dress! (Something I did not know until much later!, thank goodness). Ted was there to help my groom get ready. He also greeted us at the manor on Friday.
Everyone was quick to adapt when it started raining. And after the ceremony, I even had people on hands and knees blow drying my dress! I did not ask for this, it just happened!!
Mike is an amazing chef. Our guests could not stop raving about the food. They thought the appetizers were dinner, they were that great!
Also, as the bride, I did NOT go hungry. Plus there was even a plate of appetizers waiting for us at the end of the night in our bedroom, just incase!
If you are thinking of getting married at LTM, definitely do!!

100% stars! My husband & I got married at LTM on 7/31/21. We are still on cloud 9! We cant say ENOUGH amazing & most magical things- the people, process, expertise & their passion ...
for what they do to implement the most magical experience. Their heart in getting to know all of us throughout the process was so touching. Their vision & confidence shine on how to make a truly breathtaking experience every minute of your weekend! The words “Thank you” don’t even hold weight to the gratitude, appreciation, & overall indebtedness we have-Andrew, Jackie, Ted, Janice, Chef Mike & everyone there made our wedding the wedding of the century. They exceeded all expectations with every detail & step along the way. They were patient with ALL questions & took the time to make sure we felt seen, heard & comforted. The organization in place for us to reference & complete helped make everything go so smoothly. LTM has everything & all vendors you ever need when planning a wedding! Your vision and unique details shine & they do whatever it takes to make it happen. They took pride in creating our vision! We feel SO incredibly lucky to be a LTM B&G. We've heard from every guest that it was the most beautiful venue & wedding they had ever been to. It was the best weekend & day of our lives. My husband & I bawled our eyes out when leaving Sunday morning. Everyone at LTM took the time to make sure we & all our guests had everything we needed & went ABOVE & BEYOND to make sure we were the spotlights & felt so special. The warmth & love we felt from every staff person at LTM was a feeling you can’t describe. To the kindest waitresses/ers, to the person at the front door welcoming everyone in- as if you’ve known her for years, to the friendliest bartenders. Andrew & Jackie (owners) are the most passionate planners, visionaries & all around truly amazing people. They have the most patience, care, support & are always there for you. They take your vision, your wedding experience, & the biggest day of your life so seriously you know everything's going to be perfect. Jackie & Ted, who were there supporting us every step along the way onsite, were truly spectacular, as well. Ted, made every moment so homey with his beautiful voice & making us feel like the most special people. Janice has such a huge heart & made sure us girls were all taken care of above & beyond, as well. Janice was by my side the entire weekend & we bonded so quickly as if we’d known each other forever. She read us the most beautiful love poem before I walked down the aisle, it was a moment none of us will ever forget. Chef Mike is incredible & LTM's dinner style’s so different (& DELIC), every wedding should do this. Cocktail hour was overflowing-there were SO many options; he takes special diets/allergies so seriously, too. LTM is so unique/different in every way & sets you a part from all other weddings. We cant wait to go back & visit one of our favorite places. Our journey from start to finish was true perfection & we cant say ENOUGH amazing things. When you arrive on site, you just ENJOY yourself because they are there for you always. Everything was 100% worth it. We smile at all the most amazing memories, photos & laughs we had; it was ALL LTM. LTM does it the BEST of any other wedding venue around & we say that with our whole hearts. Your vision will come to life BETTER than you have ever dreamt it. LTM is truly the best of the best-RUN don’t walk to get married here!

My daughter had her wedding at Lord Thompson Manor in September. I can honestly say it was a magical experience. The staff, food, atmosphere , venue are superior! The staff goes...
out if their way to make your experience perfect . The food is cooked on site and is superb, the manor itself is classy and the landscaping is one of a kind. Janice , Jackie , Ted and Andrew we can’t thank you enough. The cottage house was perfect for the wedding party and the weekend was one we’ll never forget. I give Lord Thomson Manor 10 plus all around. All of our guests raved about their experience as well.

Having our wedding day at the Lord Thomson Manor was hands down the best decision we’ve ever made! As a COVID couple, the Manor was extremely flexible with the ever changing guidel...
ines and communicated with us on a weekly basis, which as an anxious bride, was crucial! Andrew was always willing to talk us through our thoughts and concerns and worked hard alongside us to find solutions. We ended up needing to postpone a year and the manor made that transition seamless.
In regards to planning our event, no stone was left unturned. Jackie is incredible!! She has such an eye for detail and helped bring the vision I had to life! From the subtle decor that made our day feel so intimate to the floral arrangements, we were amazed with how everything came together!
As for the weekend of, Janice and Ted were the absolute best hosts! They made sure that we, along with our guests, had everything we needed! The cottage house was my oasis and my bridesmaids agree! Ross felt the same was about the Manor, it was the perfect location to hang with his friends (lots of cornhole and wiffle ball) before we tied the knot. We truly feel that everyone at the manor became part of our family and added such special touches to our day! My husband and I are still getting compliments on how our wedding was “the best they’ve ever been to!” and that the food was absolutely amazing! (Thanks, Chef Mike!) We wish we could relive this weekend over and over again!!
Have no doubt that if you get married at the Lord Thompson Manor, you will truly have your BEST day ever!
