Planning Trip to the Hudson Valley
The Hudson Valley is our favorite place for a day trip outside of New York City. It has beautiful landscapes. There are many hidden trails, and hiking places. Our favorite to explore in this area are the various local wineries, farms, and local farm-to-table restaurants.
Our wedding ceremony and reception will be hosted at Beekman Arts Club .
Reaching the Beekman Arts Club
If you travel to the Club on the train from New York City, you can take the train to New Hamburg or Beacon. Then take a taxi or Uber to arrive at the location. It is a 20 minute ride from New Hamburg Station to the Arts Club. If you need help arranging a ride, please let us know. Some of our friends might be able to pick you up from the local train station. Our tip with the train is to use the MTA app. It is the fastest way to get the ticket. If you drive to Beekman, the property has a plenty of space for your cars.
