Thompson House and Gardens

I just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful experience we had with you at the Thompson House and Gardens on June 11, 2010. My son, Patrick, and his beautiful bride, Carrie truely had the wedding of their dreams. From the first moment we visited there in June 2009 I knew everything would be tken care of in a very professional yet personal manner. It was so nice that we were able to have everything at one venue from the rehearsal to the reception. On, you went over and beyond helping with the Rehearsal decorating, and the flowers you did for the wedding were absolutely breathtaking. Most of all we wre able to enjoy the wedding festivities because we had total confidence in you and your staff to take care of everything - and you did!Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making it a wonderful wedding weekend. The Thompson House and Gardens is definately the finest and most beautiful facilty I have ever seen.Sincerly,Susan Yawn

I just wanted to write you and thank you for making my dream wedding come true. Your expertise and excellent service made me feel confident in choosing the Thompson House and Gardens for my wedding. The flowers were stunning and I can't thank you enough for everything you done for me. Thank you so much for working out all the details and for your undivided attention. You and your staff are wonderful and for that I will be greatful!Lindsay

We had our wedding and reception at the Thompson House & Gardens on March 6, 2010. Having gone to over 25 weddings together in the past 5 years, we wanted something that perfectly suited us a couple and was unique. On Guest was very professional and easy for us to work with from start to finish. She followed through on all of her promises and the wedding and reception were beautiful! Jessie (rehearsal and wedding day coordinator) was also a joy to work with! Worth every penny and then some! She was extremely helpful to us prior to the wedding and on the wedding day. Our families forgot to bring a cd of our pictures for the televisions they have in the reception area. Sam, one of the Thompson House employees, walked around with a camera and photographed the ceremony for us. They made sure that the pictures he took were on the televisions for all to see during the reception! They made our day absolutely perfect! We have recevied numerous compliments on our wedding from both local and out of town friends and family. Most of them did not even know the Thompson House & Gardens existed and they were all very impressed! We could not have picked a better wedding/reception site. Thank you ALL for a wonderful wedding!Amanda & Frank Crane

We so enjoyed Emily and Josh's wedding Saturday night! You and Pam made it such a magical experience for them. I can't think of a thing we'd do any differently. Everyone commented over and over again on what a "beautiful place it was for a wedding" and we couldn't agree more. On, I especially appreciate the last-minute help with her personalizations around the ballroom. Those extra touches really brought her dream and vision to life for the evening. The flowers--simply gorgeous!From our first consultation with you, to seeing the happy couple leave, our experience was everything we'd hoped for and even more. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. And, our thanks also to your wonderful staff--so helpful and courteous! Ladies, your happy and attentive presence created a truly stress free energy for us. Doug and I were able to relax and enjoy this happy time with our family and guests.With our sincere gratitude and best regards,Camille KittrellRoswell GA

Where do we even begin to start to thank you and your staff for all of the hard work you all put into our daughter's wedding. From the set-up to the flowers, everything was done with perfection. The center pieces and bouquets you arranged were beyond amazing and captured exactly what we envisioned. The house was beautiful and welcoming and the set-up was perfect. It was amazing how you and your staff efficiently took an outdoor wedding, adjusted it to the rain, and still managed to make it perfect.

The Thompson House and Gardens, is by far, the jewel in the crown of all of the many venues I looked at in the Atlanta and North Georgia areas for my daughter?s wedding. It is truly a hidden treasure. Our October 11, 2009 outdoor afternoon wedding was absolutely first class and magical! The grounds are beautiful! The entire atmosphere is intimate, inviting and relaxed. Flowers were still in bloom everywhere! The cocktail hour in the courtyard was just wonderful with beautiful lights everywhere. The inside of the house is absolutely amazing! The sitting room and upstairs dressing areas are filled with detailed hand carved antiques. You can tell that the owner of the venue, On Guest, takes great pride in the house and grounds and devotes numerous hours to make sure every detail is taken care of. She also did our flowers and they were absolutely gorgeous! She is extremely talented in flowers and design. Her staff is very helpful, and we would not have been able to manage without them. Everyone could not stop raving about the wedding! Thank you for making my daughter?s wedding a day that we will always look back on with great joy, happiness and amazing beauty!Carol Garner - Mother of Bride

I just wanted you to know how much we appreciate the expertise and superb customer service you and your staff exhibited at my daughter's recent wedding on September 26, 2009. Your place is beautiful and the bride, groom, extended family and friends had a wonderful experience there. I've received so much positive feedback including three (3) guests who told me it was the best wedding they had ever attended. The willingness of you and your staff to listen to what we wanted as well as offering your own ideas helped in making this even a success. I will definitely recommend Thompson House and Gardens to others. Again, thank you for playing a part in my daughter's wedding and being a part of something she'll always cherish.Denise Burgess (mother of the bride, Kristy Burgess)

The Thompson House and Gardens was a beautiful back drop for our daughter's wedding. On Guest and her team provided excellent service and assistance. They helped us with several decisions and provided an excellent list of vendors that had been used by previous brides. The day of the wedding On was there to make sure everything was handled perfectly and smoothly. The size of the facility was just right for our wedding. On's attention to every detail made everything perfect. We highly recommend Thompson House and Gardens.

The Thmpson House was a beautiful venue and the staff, especially On Guest, was beyond excellent. They were very helpful and knowledgable. They made our special day stress free and calm. Our wedding turned out to be perfect down to every detail. On also did the flowers for the whole event and also the rehearsal dinner. They were gorgeous!! It was all breath taking. At the Thompson House all of our guests felt comfortable. You feel like your at home there. I can't thank them enoough for making our day PERFECT!!!

Choosing Thompson House and Gardens for our daughter's wedding was the best decision we made for this event. On Guest was not only professional and experienced but also friendly and understanding. With our daughter living out of state, we depended on On to plan all the details over email and phone. She took care of even the smallest details and certainly made my husband and I look good to all our guests. Our daughter and her new husband were so happy with Thompson House - you could see the joy in their faces when they first walked in to the house. If you want a truly memorable day for your daughter, you should consider the Thompson House and Gardens. You'll fall in love with the grounds before you even walk into the gorgeous house.

On is very responsible and professional as a venue manager and our florist. She made our day perfect! Our wedding was in the late morning. She was there very early to set up everything and make sure everything is in the right place. She also gave us many suggestions in the early stage of our wedding preparation. She and her team was very friendly and patient. I definitely would recommend Thompson house and gardens to my friends

I absolutely love the Thompson House and Gardens. It was a pleasure working with On and her amazing team. She went to incredible lengths to make my wedding day exactly how I imagined it!! On and her team made my day perfect!! They were there early in the morning getting everything ready. The Outdoor Ceremony and the Reception room looked flawless!! Also, she did the flowers for the wedding, and they were BEAUTIFUL! She spent so much time, and they were awesome! She also added some personal touches without me even asking her to do so. For example, my husband's passion in life is firefighting. She included a little firetruck on his boutineer. My guests were all blown away by the beauty of the grounds and the flower arrangements that she created. If you decide to have an Athens, GA area wedding you need to definately check out The Thompson House and Gardens and meet On Guest. She is an incredibly hard-working lady!!

Gosh, I dont know where to begin....On and Christie are amazing!!! I would not have gotten married if it werent for their help! I was a little doubtful at first...things just werent going as easy as I had planned (budget and stuff) I talked the problems out with On and she helped me in everyway possible. She was so flexible with our budget and took care of us! She also did my flowers...and everything from the bouquets to the table arrangments were out of this world breath taking! She made my special day feel and look like something straight from a fairytale! I CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH ON! If I could tell any bride out there something it would be....what do you have to lose....go look at the THG!!! you'll be sold at the first visit! :) The entire house is beautiful from the upstairs all the way day into the new addition! I loved the historic parts mixed with the new age feel! the bride's room is so close to the groom's room, its cool we could talk from room to room if we wanted but never lay eyes on each other!! it was awesome! the land scape was gorgeous, new and fresh! it was just amazing! Christie was an amazing help making my day run smoothly! with our big and not so "typical" family, she got things right on cue!! :) thank you christie!! love you both!

As mother-of-the-bride, I was closely involved in my daughter's wedding planning and made several trips to Thompson House to meet with the owner/operator, On Guest, and other vendors. On always was accommodating and pleasant and it was obvious she was willing to do whatever she could to help make the bride and groom's vision a reality. Thompson House and Gardens is a lovely place to hold a wedding, and with the recent addition to the house, I am so glad the bride and groom chose it as the venue for the for the garden wedding and indoor reception. Everything went as planned and in the groom's words, "this is more than we ever dreamed it could be." On has pictures of the event if you future brides and mothers wish to see firsthand just how beautiful everything can be. I rate this experience a "5" in all categories.

On and her team made my day perfect!! Everyone was awesome! They were there early in the morning getting everything ready, and they were so organized, and they were able to move everything inside quickly when it started raining. They were so outstanding, and I couldn't have asked for a better team to work with. She got the room finished on time, and it is gorgeous! We are so excited, and we really love the Thompson House! I hope to go to another wedding there soon! Also, she did the flowers for the wedding, and they were BEAUTIFUL! She spent so much time, and they were awesome! I loved them so much, and I had so many comments on how wonderful they were!
