The Ruins at Sassafras is accessible from Hudson, New York (45 minute drive). You can use Uber or Lyft to get from Hudson to your hotel and should arrange a car ser

You will need a car to explore the nearby towns and areas.

On Saturday, we want people to enjoy the wedding and not worry about driving. So, we encourage people to use the shuttles. For those who choose to drive, there is very limited parking at our wedding venue so please carpool.

Finally, you can prearrange pickup and drop-off with a local taxi company. Please note that Uber/Lyft do not operate in the area.

Getting Around

We have reserved room blocks at several hotels; the wedding shuttle will serve 4 of these - Courtyard Lenox, Berkshire Mountain Lodge, Best Western Plus Berkshire Inn and Suites, and Holiday Inn and Suites Pittsfield Berkshires. Note that the shuttles will not serve Jiminy Peak.

Links for information on each venue are below but you must call and ask for the Springer-Velleca block to reserve rooms since that is the way to guarantee that you get the discounted rate.

Note that this is a busy holiday weekend and we suggest you book as early as you can!
