A Private, Historic Estate for Romantic Weekend Weddings in Connecticut

Tucked into the Quiet Corner of Connecticut on 42 private acres, Lord Thompson Manor is a 1918 historic estate built for one purpose: gathering the people who matter most in a place that holds them beautifully. For three days, the entire property is exclusively yours. We specialize in one thing — the Weekend Wedding. Your celebration begins Friday evening with an intimate rehearsal dinner under the stars or in the Manor’s conservatory. Saturday morning, your bridal party retreats to KISS Spa at The Cottage House while the estate is readied for the romantic ceremony and reception to come. Sunday closes with a farewell brunch, and a weekend your guests will talk about for years. Centrally located for guests from Boston (1 hour), Hartford (1 hour), Providence (1 hour), and New York City (3.5 hours), Lord Thompson Manor is the destination wedding that doesn’t require a flight.

A private wedding at Lord Thompson Manor means exactly that: private. One couple per weekend. No other events, no overlapping celebrations, no strangers. Our 13 guest rooms between the historic Manor and The Cottage House become home for your wedding party from Friday through Sunday. Every detail — florals, décor, cake, music, photography — is coordinated by our team. You don’t manage vendors; we do. You arrive, and the weekend has already begun. For couples who want a romantic celebration that feels like the best house party they’ve ever attended — with extraordinary food, immaculate grounds, and a staff that anticipates every need — this is your place.
