The Thompson Inn - Durham, New Hampshire

The Thompson Inn & Cyderhouse is an incredibly special place. We are so grateful to have been married at the venue on January 4, 2025 supported by the fantastic team at the venue. The Cyderhouse is breathtaking and was the absolute perfect space for our ~110 person winter wedding. I could go on and on about the beauty of the place but this venue truly has the trifecta of perfection: the venue is gorgeous, the staff are some of the most kind and helpful people I've ever met, and the food is quite literally some of the best food I've ever had. I couldn't have planned this wedding without the amazing support of Lauren. Lauren always put our minds at ease and everything went seamlessly largely due to her. Top stories and comments from our guests - the food was OUT OF THIS WORLD and the venue was stunning. Highly recommend this venue and team!!!

Lori and her team are incredible and make sure that your wedding will be everything you could imagine. I cannot say enough about the beautiful venue, the food by chief Alex which to this day people still rave about 3 years later, and the amazing wedding coordinator Stephanie! Wonderful venue and even more amazing staff. Thanks for making our day everything we dream it would be 💕

We got married at the Thompson Inn and Cyderhouse in September and all I can say is: Wow!. The grounds are absolutely stunning; having the inn next to the venue and having both reserved for our wedding for the entire weekend was just amazing, not many venues give you that much time to celebrate! I can’t speak highly enough of the staff; they were friendly, helpful and highly accommodating! Lauren was unbelievable from start to finish; she was helpful, bubbly and fun and brought this low key vibe that made me feel like I wasn’t ever under pressure as a bride. She even joined us on the dance floor! Hailey was a jack of all trades; she was the best inn keeper, bartender and server all weekend long. Alex cooked the best food anyone has ever had at a wedding before (I know and my guests told me). I can’t thank everyone enough, my wedding felt like home and the people working my wedding felt like family!

Could not have picked a better venue for our wedding. Our coordinator Lauren helped us with every single detail and helped our day flow effortlessly. We chose to also rent the Inn for the night and had the best time continue the celebration with our friends and family.

Everything about this place is wonderful and our wedding this August was magical. Words can’t describe how amazing our wedding weekend at the Thompson Inn and Cyderhouse was, and this was greatly because of the incredible staff. The food was incredible, the staff was so friendly, and Lauren’s professionalism throughout the whole process contributed to the entire weekend going off without a hitch. This place is truly turn key, and it’s so evident they want you to have the BEST day possible. We can’t recommend the Thompson Inn enough, it truly was a 5-star experience. We can’t count how many times we heard from our guests how it was the best wedding they had ever been too, the best wedding food they’ve ever had, and the most perfect venue. We love the Thompson Inn and can’t wait to go back!! The venue and staff will always hold a special place in our hearts. - Paul & Jamie

We just got married at The Thompson Inn this past August and to stay that it was the most incredible day/experience of our lives would be a complete understatement. From the very beginning, Lauren, the coordinator and one of the owners had every single thing handled and under control. She made the entire process simple, easy, and exciting. Every time we would leave a meeting or conversation with her we felt so comfortable and taken care of and knew that Lauren and all of the staff at The Thompson Inn would make our day seamless - and they did. From the ceremony space to the phenomenal (5 star worthy) food, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. It is not an exaggeration when I say that the food tasting was easily the best food my husband, myself, or our family has ever eaten.

Having the Inn right on the property for our entire bridal party, parents, etc. to be able to stay at the night of the wedding made everything that much more perfect. If you are debating whether or not you should get married at The Thompson Inn, my recommendation as a recent bride would be an astounding, one million percent yes - you won’t regret it!

11/10 experience at The Thompson Inn & Cyderhouse!! From our first visit to the final drive out, we had nothing but a positive experience. The grounds are stunning - incredibly well-maintained, classic New England Inn. Chef Alex created seasonal, locally sourced, AND delicious food -- our guests are still talking about it! Being able to stay onsite for TWO nights made it a true weekend to remember for our families and wedding party. It took the day-of stress away and really let us savor the moment for 48+ hours. Finally, Lauren and Hailey are the absolute BEST! They answered all our questions, they anticipated our needs all weekend long, and truly made the weekend as stress-free as possible (and they're just amazing people to be around!!). If I had to do it all over again, I would pick The Thompson Inn & Cyderhouse every single time. Thank you for the best weekend of our lives! - Rachel & Zach

We couldn’t be more thrilled with our choice to have our wedding at Thompson Inn & Cyderhouse. This venue goes above and beyond and is absolutely turn key requiring little to no prep work from the couples! It was such a stress free process and our wedding weekend was so epic and amazing. The ability to stay on site at the Inn makes an unforgettable experience for your bridal party and makes it more of an experiential weekend rather than just one big day. The food by Chef Alex is top notch and incredibly impressive while being delicious and fresh. We received so many compliments on the food- not your average bland wedding food!! Lauren and Hailey were incredibly helpful in making sure the whole weekend went off without a hitch and made sure to facilitate fun while also having a handle on the structure of it all. I would absolutely recommend this venue, book here!!!
