Life Celebrations

Tell me more about Celebration of Life packages. I’m only interested in a venue.

A life celebration (or celebration of life) is an end-of-life ceremony where people come together to honor the unique life of the deceased. Hudson Gardens recognizes the importance of this occasion, and we strive to make the planning process as simple as possible. We now provide all-inclusive packages so you can easily create a beautiful occasion while focusing on what matters.

Each package includes:

  • Five hours of access to a ceremony site and reception venue. Popular locations include a lakeside ceremony site (Monet’s Place), a historic cabin (The Inn), and a tranquil rose garden. Learn more about each venue by taking a virtual tour.
  • Tables and chairs for the ceremony and reception;
  • Access to acres of peaceful, landscaped gardens;
  • Catering and catering staff: Choose from a curated menu of small plates, sandwiches, and entrées.

Optional additions include:

  • Additional Hours;
  • Linen Service: restaurant-quality tablecloths and napkins in a variety of colors;
  • Wine, beer, and spirits.

Patrons can solely rent a venue (rather than a package) and arrange food and beverages themselves through a caterer. However, all events that serve food at Hudson Gardens must use one of seven caterers from our list. For celebrations of life, we offer our venues at a discounted rate of $250/hour (five-hour minimum). To learn more about non-packaged venue rentals, please submit an inquiry form.
