Your Wedding Weekend Investment

Everything Can Be Included. Nothing Unexpected.

A Lord Thompson Manor wedding can be priced to be a complete weekend at a private historic estate — not a venue fee with a long list of add-ons when you book with us, your investment includes experienced wedding coordinators/day-of-event coordinators that you would hire at other venues. We want you to understand exactly what you’re getting before we talk numbers. Because when couples compare Lord Thompson Manor to other venues on price alone, they’re not comparing the same thing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Lord Thompson Manor be all-inclusive?

Yes. Your weekend can include catering for every meal from the rehearsal dinner through the farewell brunch, an open bar, florals, décor, cake, coordination, overnight accommodations at the Manor and The Cottage House, and KISS Spa for your bridal party. Your proposal lists exactly what is included, and the on-site ceremony fee is itemized separately.

How much does a wedding at Lord Thompson Manor cost?

Weddings are custom-priced by guest count, season and services, and every proposal is itemized. Contact us with your date and estimated guest count for a detailed proposal.

Is there a separate ceremony fee?

Yes. Ceremonies held on the estate, whether outdoors on the historic grounds or indoors in the conservatory, have a separate ceremony fee. It is itemized in your proposal so there are no surprises.

Do you offer off-peak pricing?

Yes. Weddings in March, April, November and December are priced lower than peak season, which runs May through October.

How far in advance should we book?

Most couples book 12 to 24 months ahead. Peak-season Saturdays, especially in May, September and October, are reserved first.

How many guests can Lord Thompson Manor accommodate?

In peak season (May through October), weddings host a minimum of 130 and a maximum of 220 guests. Ask us about guest counts for off-peak dates.

Do we have to reserve all 13 guest rooms?

Yes. All rooms at the Manor and The Cottage House are reserved for your party for both nights of your weekend. That is what keeps the estate completely private for your celebration.

How late is the bar open?

Until 2:00 a.m. Because you and your wedding party are staying on the estate, there is no rush to leave.
