“Our wedding on May 1, 2026 was truly the best day of our lives, and the entire Hudson House team exceeded every expectation we had. We had a bit of a rocky start during the initial booking process, but once Elena, the General Manager, stepped in and connected us with Gabriel, the Director, everything became seamless. From that point forward, we felt completely taken care of. The food tasting alone was an experience unlike anything we've ever seen. It was an incredible feast and gave us a firsthand look at how Hudson House executes events and the level of service they provide. The food was absolutely outstanding, and our guests are still talking about it weeks later. One of the things that made our wedding feel extra special was having the second-floor room available for cocktail hour instead of the overlook above the reception space. While both spaces are beautiful, having a completely separate floor created such an incredible guest experience. Many guests thought the cocktail hour space was the reception itself, only to be amazed when they discovered there was another floor for dinner and dancing, followed by the Stork Club for the after-party. Everyone loved the progression of the evening and how each part of the celebration had its own unique space. The cocktail hour was truly next level. We received countless compliments about the amount of food and the variety of stations. Guests repeatedly told us they had never seen so many options at a wedding. One detail that made a huge impact was having our signature his-and-hers drinks already waiting for guests as they entered cocktail hour. People loved being able to grab a drink immediately instead of standing in line at the bar, and it was one of the most complimented touches of the night. What impressed us most, though, was the service. Every single staff member was warm, friendly, attentive, and accommodating. If a guest needed something, it was handled immediately. The professionalism and hospitality were truly exceptional. A special thank you goes to Maya, my bridal attendant, who was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was by my side all day, constantly making sure I had water, checking on me, helping me stay hydrated, and ensuring I had everything I needed. She even helped clean the dirt off the train of my dress after photos. Maya was calm, thoughtful, diligent, and genuinely cared about making my day perfect. Before we left, she made sure all of our belongings were packed and organized, and she carefully packed up the food and cake I requested to take home since I knew I probably wouldn't get a chance to eat much during the wedding. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy so many of the amazing dishes once we got back to our hotel. Gabriel was equally incredible throughout the night. Anytime I noticed something that needed attention, no matter how small, he addressed it immediately. Knowing he was there overseeing everything allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our wedding day. Hudson House delivered beyond our wildest dreams. The venue is stunning, the food is phenomenal, the service is unmatched, and the entire team genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience. Everything ran so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The only downside is that the day goes by way too fast. We honestly wish we could do it all over again. We cannot recommend Hudson House enough.”

“If you are looking for a wedding venue, you can stop scrolling now. This family run venue is truly amazing and gave us the dream wedding day. First off, the grounds are STUNNING. The backdrop for our ceremony and photos was straight out of a magazine, and our guests were absolutely captivated by the location. The food? It was incredible! This is not standard wedding food, it was genuinely delicious, and our guests are still raving about every single course. The whole team was phenomenal and made the planning process smooth. Katherine, one of the owners, made us feel like family from day one and was constantly checking in on me, both leading up to and on the wedding day.

She also suggested floral and decor vendors, which we ended up using and they were fantastic. The bridal suite she set up with a charcuterie and champagne tower and it was so cute!!! She brought all us girls coffee at 8am and a his and hers gift after the wedding. Highly recommend.”

Hey, my name is Jose and I am the Owner and DJ of LEM Entertainment. Since a very young age, music has always taken me to a happy place. I have been entertaining crowds since the late 90’s starting off as a club DJ and now I’ve transitioned over to private events in the last 7+ years. This experience has helped mold me and tailor what I bring to weddings.

“LEM Entertainment was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, they were quick to respond to all of our questions and worked seamlessly with us to bring our vision to life. On the day of the wedding, their team kept the party going all night long and created such an energetic and fun atmosphere that our guests couldn't stop raving about. They played all the right songs to get everyone dancing, and their organization and professionalism ensured that the flow of the evening went off without a hitch. We are so grateful to LEM Entertainment for making our wedding day unforgettable!”

“Kristin was a wonderful makeup artist for my wedding day! She was extremely responsive and flexible throughout the planning process, enthusiastically embracing my vision while offering professional guidance. On the big day, Kristin arrived right on time despite traveling a bit of a distance. She did an incredible job enhancing my natural beauty in a formal yet personalized way that made me feel 100% like myself.
