Lord Thompson Manor is a 1918 estate on 42 acres in Thompson, Connecticut, that is booked for a full weekend, with 13 guest rooms, a spa, indoor and outdoor ceremony space and a stated capacity of up to 220 guests.
The manor dates from 1918 and stands on about 42 private acres in the north-east corner of Connecticut. About an hour from Boston, Hartford and Providence, it is built around a weekend format: the couple and their guests have the estate from a Friday rehearsal dinner through a Sunday farewell brunch.
The weekend runs to a set pattern. Friday includes the rehearsal dinner, either under the stars or in the conservatory. On Saturday the spa at the Cottage House is used by the wedding party, there are lawn games, and the ceremony takes place outdoors on the grounds or indoors in the Great Hall if the weather is poor. A plated dinner follows from the manor's kitchen, with an after party, and Sunday ends with breakfast or brunch.
