While the Hudson Valley has long been the playground for wealthy New Yorkers, it is now also the hallowed ground where city couples and out-of-towners are saying "I do." With options ranging from epic old dairy barns to 19th-century industrial warehouses, there is no shortage of ideal venues for every vision and style. But as couples hunt for that perfect place to make all their Pinterest dreams come true, guest lodging can sometimes fall by the wayside. Given that family and friends are probably travelling from all over to join you for your big day, choosing a venue that has ample accommodations onsite or nearby is a thoughtful consideration. Plus, the more the merrier!
We've rounded up 15 wedding venues in the Hudson Valley and the Catskills that have onsite accommodations. The smallest can sleep just the bridal party and close family and the largest the whole wedding of over 100 guests.
Gather Greene, Coxsackie
Gather Greene, a new event site and glamping destination in Coxsackie, blends accessibility, comfort, and access to nature.

The permanent, open-air pavilion has capacity for 250 guests, with 28-foot-tall, arched ceilings and sweeping vistas. It also has a full catering kitchen, six single-use bathrooms, two dressing rooms/meeting suites, and a large upstairs lounge.Lumberyard
From industry to avant-garde arts hub to wedding venue, Lumberyard in Catskill is truly a synecdoche for the changing economy and cultural climate of Greene County. Couple can choose from either the industrial-chic Theater/Ballroom, which can accommodate up to 390 guests, or the smaller, rustic Creekside studio, which can hold 150 guests, or do a full-property buyout for exclusive use.

After taking over Audrey's Farmhouse in 2015, Sally and Doug Posey bought the lot across the street, a former flower nursery, which they have transformed into The Greenhouses—a 14-room hotel, jungle-chic wedding venue, and restaurant.
