We'll be outside in some grassy areas or in the open-air covered pavilion throughout the weekend, so choose footwear accordingly and bring a layer for after the sun goes down. Friday's relaxed garden party attire -- think linen! Casual dresses, slacks, button-downs all work. Suits are appropriate if you'd like, but not necessary in the slightest. Be comfortable. Saturday's funky formal attire -- bring out those bright colors, patterns, or a fun dress/suit/shirt/tie etc. that makes you feel great and like yourself. Have something in your closet you love but you’re nervous is “too much” for a wedding? This is the occasion! The funky is optional but encouraged. Please do not let these dress codes stress you out! Please wear whatever you feel comfortable in and do not overthink it. If you've worn something to a cocktail attire/formal wedding before, it will definitely work here! It is only meant to encourage you to feel comfortable expressing yourself :)
If you’re flying in for the weekend, we recommend renting a car to get around if you plan on exploring. Uber and Lyft are available in Hudson but can be limited, especially as you get into surrounding smaller towns like Coxsackie.
There will be two, 40-person buses from Premiere Transportation to help take passengers to and from Hudson. The buses will pick up passengers at the St. Charles Hotel (16 Park Pl, Hudson, NY 12534) at 5:30pm. Please arrive no later than 5:25pm. One bus will return to Hudson at 9:30pm and the other will return at 10pm. Given the limited bus spots, if you have a car (and a designated driver!) we do ask that you drive to and from the venue on Friday.
Transportation will be provided to and from Hudson on Saturday. We have 4 buses to bring people to and from Hudson on Saturday. They will follow one another in a line, with the first two scheduled to pick up passengers at 3:00pm and the next two scheduled to start pick ups at 3:15pm. Please arrive no later than 2:55pm for the first batch or 3:10pm for the second batch. Buses will pick you up on the right side of the street. The buses will also make stops along Warren Street at Hudson Hall (327 Warren St, Hudson, NY 12534) and the St. Charles Hotel (16 Park Pl, Hudson, NY 12534). Note that if a bus is full and doesn't stop to pick you up, there will be others following in its trail. Buses will return to Hudson starting at 10:30pm. They will drop passengers off at Padrona (17 N 4th St, Hudson, NY 12534).
