“Getting married at Hudson Gardens was the best choice we could have made. We wanted to have an outdoor ceremony but not necessarily go all the way into the mountains, and this was the best of both worlds--beautiful but also convenient for our in-town and out-of-town guests to get to. We got married 6/7/25 at the Monet's Place location (see some of the pictures from our photographer Lo Anderson). Leading up to the wedding, the process for touring the venue, securing our date, and then making sure everything was ready was very smooth and easy. Hudson Gardens had a vendor fair months before our wedding that allowed us to come meet the vendors they partner with, which helped us find our caterer, bar service, and DJ. The day of, the getting ready space was heavenly cool with the AC which was perfect because it was hot and I would have melted otherwise! The signs they provided made it clear where to go for our wedding. The staff was all incredibly professional and friendly. The pedi-cab that took us to and from the getting ready space to the ceremony space allowed me to wear the heels I wanted to and not have to worry about walking--it was also a blessing to have for my great Aunt and our guests we have who have limited mobility to be able to navigate the grounds. We worked with Erin Smith and she was great--she answered all of my questions and was easy to get ahold of during the whole planning process.”
