Schedule of Events

Hudson is a beautiful and lively town in upstate New York directly on the Hudson River. It's historic character means there is not an abundance of large hotels so we encourage groups of friends and family to book a shared house via <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AirBnb</a>, <a href="https://www.vrbo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">VRBO</a>, or other such services. If you prefer to stay in a hotel, a few options are listed below. Please note that many of the hotels have less than 10 rooms so we expect many of those to have very limited availability once reservations become available. We do not currently have a room block at these hotels but you are welcome to book directly via their websites. We will be handling accommodations for the wedding party. For those traveling from locations in the Northeast, Amtrak goes to Hudson and the station is directly across the street from the venue. For anyone traveling by plane, the Albany Airport (ALB) is the closest airport to Hudson (about a 45 minute drive). The New York City area airports are all about a two hour drive away or you can take Amtrak from the city as well.

The Wick is the largest hotel in Hudson and it is a short, 5 minute walk from the venue. We encourage you to book a room here directly pending availability. The hotel has 55 rooms all of which are modern and comfortable.
