Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Ancramdale?

Ancramdale is in Upstate New York in the Hudson Valley region. It is about 20 minutes outside of Hudson and 2 hours north of NYC.

Where should I stay?

There are many options in the towns surrounding Ancramdale.

We have blocked off rooms at two hotels in nearby Hudson, The Wick and the Hudson Whaler, both of which are centrally located. Closer to the train station and the setting of our Sunday brunch, The Wick is a modern boutique hotel that is part of the Marriott Bonvoy family of brands. We’ve reserved traditional king & queen rooms, as well as some suites for those looking for a slightly more luxurious stay. Over on Warren Street—Hudson’s main drag—is the Hudson Whaler, a quaint hotel that preserves the historic integrity of its building while adding contemporary amenities. We have a smaller number of traditional rooms and suites blocked off there.

There are a handful of other hotels, including The Alander, a boutique lodge close to the venue, and a number of local B&Bs and vacation rentals via Airbnb. Head over to the Travel & Stay page for links and more information.

I am only coming in for the day. How can I get to the venue?

We will be providing shuttles between the venue and both host hotels. We will send departure times closer to the wedding. Feel free to meet at one of the hotels and take the shuttle. For those interested in driving themselves, there will be ample parking available on-site at The Circa 1799 Barn across the street from the venue proper (105 Simons Road, Ancramdale, NY 12503).

What is the dress code?

Our wedding is black tie optional. We want everyone to look and feel their best as we celebrate this most significant of occasions. Keep in mind that it is a barn wedding, and you will be walking on grass for much of the event. Be comfortable, but be chic.

Are kids invited?

We love your kids, but our wedding is for adults only. We want you to be fully present with us. Let your hair down and give yourself a night off from your parental duties.
