Auberge Willow Inn

Auberge Willow Inn feels like the kind of wedding where everyone arrives in Hudson and, for a little while, the old inn becomes yours.

This heritage property sits surrounded by nature only about 45 minutes from Montréal, bringing together gardens, intimate interiors and ten individually designed guest rooms in a setting made for celebrations that feel personal rather than enormous.

The wedding can begin outside.

Gardens and a courtyard give ceremonies and cocktails somewhere to breathe, allowing the greenery around the inn to become part of the day rather than simply somewhere guests pass on their way inside.

Then everyone gathers again.

The interiors bring the warmth and character of an old inn to the celebration, creating the kind of setting where candlelight, flowers and beautifully dressed tables feel as though they naturally belong.

And some of the people closest to the couple can stay right upstairs.

There are ten guest rooms on site, including a dedicated bridal room, allowing the inn to become more than somewhere everyone visits for the wedding.

It becomes home base.

The morning begins here.

Doors open and close as people get ready.

Flowers arrive.

Family members appear in hallways.

Somewhere downstairs, the ceremony space is being prepared while upstairs the wedding party is watching the clock move considerably faster than it normally does.

Then suddenly it is time.

The vows happen.

Cocktails begin.

Dinner gathers everyone back together and the old inn fills with the noise of a wedding.

Much later, when the last conversation finally ends, some of the people who matter most simply head upstairs.

Tomorrow morning the flowers may look a little tired and everyone else might too.

But for one night in Hudson, Auberge Willow Inn becomes part inn, part wedding venue and entirely part of the story.
