To be honest, it's very nerve racking because I am not a professional photographer. I'm just a dad who has a really nice camera because I got tired of getting fuzzy photo's while on vacation with my wife and children. Even though I can't see myself doing this for a living, I'm always honored when people I know trust me with such an important day. My friends got married here last weekend and out of the 4 weddings I've been asked to be the lead photographer, this place has to be my favorite location. Quaint is defined as having an old-fashioned attractiveness or charm; oddly picturesque. Thompson House and Gardens is the quintessential poster child for the word quaint. From a photographer's standpoint, they offer beautifully manicured lawns with a variety of venues scattered around the grounds for prime photo opportunities. Sweeping lawns, fountains, Roman gazebo and even an old west saloon make for fun photos. Also, the house has a wraparound porch and the rear is equipped with a long rustic outdoor bar, barn-like shed, adorable mini-guest house and vine covered trellis walkway. The outdoor setting for a lawn wedding is as romantic as I've ever seen and the reception hall is picture perfect for both dining and dancing. The wedding party used the upper part of the home for pre-wedding preparations and privacy. Since the event was catered, there was no need for the kitchen, but there is one available. THE VERDICT It is absolutely beautiful here! Every guest I spoke with was in complete awe of this place, including myself. My wife and I have been considering renewing our vows for our 15th Anniversary next year and Thompson House & Gardens is going to be tops on my list. If you are looking for an excellent venue for your wedding, I highly recommend you consider hosting it here.

Our daughter's wedding could not have been held at a more perfect place. The owner/operators were PRECIOUS and provided soooo much assistance to our family! Having our only daughter's wedding reserved at EnChanning Occasions before the pandemic only to have to adjust because of the pandemic, they were more than helpful and accommodating to navigate us through this momentous moment in time. We will certainly be calling on them for future events! The Kimbrel Family

TL;DR: terrible experience, nightmare of a dream, extremely unprofessional, low quality,…read moreunorganized, found mold in an hotbox they potentially used, but if not, why was it even there in the prep kitchen? He only cares about his bottom line. Ended up terminating contract and losing deposit but luckily found a different venue and our day was perfect. I never usually post reviews but this experience was something I couldn't ignore and feel like it's best to warn anyone considering this venue. Contrary to the what you should expect from a venue called "Love to Dream", our experience was an absolute nightmare. The venue is fairly new. It switched owners in Oct 2023. This new venue owner was unprofessional, quality of work is low because he tries to run everything himself. We went to observe a wedding and he was literally pausing and playing the ceremony music from his phone. Also wasn't sure if he checked with the couple if they were okay with us being there. He will get things done, but it won't be the best quality work (compared to other all inclusive venues we looked at). We made the mistake of booking this place first before looking at other venues. The prep kitchen is dirty - we found a tray of moldy chicken in their hotbox that had probably been there for a couple of weeks, which ultimately made us reconsider if we wanted to continue working with them. We were touring the barn with a separate coordinator that we hired because he was unpleasant to communicate with, and even she was appalled by the mold. The prep area in the barn is also unorganized and unused equipment are not stowed away from the view of guests - it's just sitting to the side of the barn. We were so fed up with his unprofessionalism and dirty conditions that we would rather lose our deposit than to keep dealing with him, so we terminated the contract. He didn't seem to care why because he already seemed fed up with us. We booked them 7 months before our wedding but he didn't reach out about anything by the time we were 3 months out. Based on my exchanges with him, he seemed to not want to answer my questions and only cared about his bottom line. As a first time bride, I just had questions about how things would be run and more clarification on what he would be responsible for. He was obviously tired of my questions said he wanted to get on a final call because he "kinda didn't wanna answer the same questions" (his actual words and that was not the case). Those who have planned a wedding before know that there's so many moving pieces that you can't possibly have just one call to go over everything. And based on his demeanor, I definitely couldn't trust that everything would get done with high professionalism and quality. The venue owner doesn't care about customer satisfaction, and you will definitely get what you pay for. I should have paid attention to the red flags. Before I booked him, we spoke over the phone about his package details, and at one point, he casually mentioned that he was okay terminating the business relationship if things didn't work out. This should have been a sign to avoid working with him. Strongly advise to avoid this place at all costs unless you don't care about quality, cleanliness, or customer satisfaction. The venue owner's lack of support, unprofessional behavior, and disregard for food safety make it clear that this is not a reliable or safe option for hosting events. Luckily we found a new venue and are so glad we didn't continue with this one. Our day turned out beautifully.
