Weddings at
Modern, Design Forward, & Boldly Luxurious in Jersey City, NJ
Hudson House sits at the water’s edge in Port Liberté, with the Manhattan skyline serving as the backdrop to every part of the celebration. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the city from all five levels of the venue, while cathedral ceilings, waterfront terraces, and a rooftop after-party space create opportunities to experience it from every angle.
Couples exchange vows overlooking the Hudson River, celebrate beneath grand chandeliers, and end the night at The Stork Club rooftop, where the skyline remains front and center.
Hudson House welcomes wedding celebrations for up to 400 guests.
Grand Ballroom
400 GUESTS CAPACITY · Indoor/Outdoor Ceremony
The Grand Ballroom is Hudson House’s largest event space, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline. Cathedral ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and a mezzanine level give the room a grand sense of scale, while walls of glass keep the skyline in view throughout the celebration. Guests can step outside to the waterfront terrace during cocktail hour, then return inside for dinner and dancing as the skyline lights up across the river. The Grand Ballroom accommodates up to 400 guests for ceremonies and receptions.
The Hudson Room
225 GUESTS CAPACITY · Indoor/Outdoor Ceremony
With clean lines, panoramic views, and a private terrace that puts the skyline directly behind your vows, The Hudson Room accommodates up to 225 guests in a setting that feels personal without sacrificing presence. The combination of indoor and outdoor spaces, along with high windows, allows you and your guests to enjoy the skyline for every part of the celebration.
The Stork Club Rooftop
Rooftop After Party · Open Air · Exclusively Hudson House
The Stork Club Rooftop gives couples something few wedding venues can offer: an open-air rooftop celebration overlooking the Manhattan skyline. After dinner and dancing, guests head upstairs for a completely different atmosphere, with city lights, river views, and the energy of New York just across the water. It’s a natural continuation of the evening rather than a separate event, allowing guests to enjoy the skyline from one final vantage point before the night comes to a close. Hudson House is one of the only wedding venues near New York City to offer a rooftop after-party experience like this.
The Grounds
Waterfront · Outdoor Ceremony · PORTRAITS
The waterfront grounds at Hudson House place the Manhattan skyline directly across the river, creating an iconic backdrop for your vows or portraits. Couples use the outdoor spaces for ceremonies and photos throughout the day, while guests gather on the terraces between events. Whether viewed in daylight, at sunset, or after the city lights come on, the waterfront remains part of the celebration from beginning to end.
Winter Weddings at Hudson House
In winter, guests watch the city lights sparkle across the Hudson through walls of glass while candlelit tables fill the ballroom. Weddings held January through March include seasonal additions such as mulled wine and warm cider upon arrival, a personalized ice sculpture during cocktail hour, your choice of a polenta station or homemade tomato soup and artisanal grilled cheese, and either espresso served from silver samovars with cordials and biscotti or a hot chocolate station with warm sugar donuts to end the evening. Oversized sparklers are also included for the sendoff. For couples with flexible dates, winter offers the opportunity to experience Hudson House during one of its most dramatic seasons, with the skyline taking center stage.
Getting Ready at Hudson House
The Hudson House Wedding Suite is reserved exclusively for the wedding party on the day of the celebration. Natural light, comfortable seating, and plenty of room for hair and makeup make it an easy place to spend the morning with your closest friends and family. A fruit and cheese platter is prepared before everyone arrives, giving the wedding party time to settle in, get ready, and enjoy the excitement of the day before guests begin to arrive.
Our Event Stylists are your single point of contact and creative collaborators from your first venue tour to your last dance. At most venues, the person who sells you the space is not the person running your wedding day. At Hudson House, they are the same person. Your stylist will know your floor plan, your timeline, your preferences, and your vendors before your wedding morning begins. There is no handoff, no briefing a new team, no starting over.
Gabriel R.
For me, it’s not just about throwing a beautiful event, it’s about making sure guests leave saying, “That was one of the best weddings we’ve ever been to.”
What’s something guests always talk about after the wedding?
The Stork Club Rooftop after-party. Once you get to the rooftop and see the skyline from the top, it’s one of those moments that leaves guests absolutely jaw-dropped all over again.
Elena S.
Couple enjoys every moment, everyone has a great time, and it all feels effortless and absolutely perfect.
What’s one thing you always tell couples to trust you on?
I always tell couples to trust me if something goes off plan, they won’t even notice!

About Hudson House
Five Floors. One Extraordinary Story.
Hudson House occupies one of the most distinctive waterfront locations in Port Liberté, with uninterrupted views of the Manhattan skyline across the Hudson River. Originally built in the 1970s, the property sat vacant for years after Hurricane Sandy before by Landmark founders Jeanne and Frank Cretella reimagined it as the five-story venue it is today. Their goal was to create a modern setting that would let the skyline take center stage, with each floor offering a different perspective of the city beyond the glass.
Since opening in 2019, Hudson House has welcomed couples and guests from across the country and around the world. Even Sir Paul McCartney, who attended a celebration here, remarked, “I’ve been to many wonderful places, but this is one of the best views I’ve ever seen.” For many guests, it’s hard to argue otherwise.
