I had attended the wedding of my most important business client's son's wedding. I have to write a thank you note for inviting me and making me a part of this grand event and also taking care of my accomodation.

Never heard of thanking someone for inviting you to a wedding, but ok.

Personally, unless client is also a dear, dear friend, I prefer not to accept invitations like this - I will send a really nice gift (theater tickets or one of the serving dishes in her pattern etc.) but I try not to attend the event itself - especially at client's expense. Muddies the waters in the business end of the relationship and smacks of "obligations."
That said, send the thank you to the client - not the bridal couple (unless they were the ones inviting you). Tell Client how much you appreciated his/her hospitality and how deeply honored you are to have been invited to share this special and cherished time.
DO NOT discuss business. Do not offer a deal, a favor or anything else. Again it muddies the water between personal and business.
BUT you CAN be the best business associate. Offer the best service, the best product, the fairest price, the best terms you possibly can. And you can every so often - once in a while - not all the time - mention how memorable Jr.'s wedding was and that Jr and Bride are in your prayers in hopes for a long and happy life together.
And when Baby III is born, send a really nice baby gift to the new parents (not client) - with a note saying how much you enjoyed their wedding and that you wish them all the more happiness as young parents.

You don't need to send a thank you note to thank them for inviting you. The proper time to thank them for the invite would have been in person at the wedding. Otherwise, it is their honour to have you at their wedding and they are the ones who will send you the thank you note for attending.
That said, if you do really want to send a thank you note, I don't see anything wrong with it... It's just not necessary or customary.

You were their guest and it is proper etiquette for them to thank you for attending. If you feel the need to send a thank you note anyway, make sure it is short and to the point. Even though you might be grateful for the invitation, you still don't want to come off as an a** kisser. However, I would seriously discourage you sending anything at all.

Showing up for the event in which you were invited to attend is enough for you to show them that you acknowledged and recognized it.
Don't send them a "thank you note" just because you were invited. It might make you look desperate...
If you must really send the message across... you could send a text message (more like small talk) informing the person who invited you that you enjoyed the event and re-congratulate them. But never say Thank You.

As a frequent hostess, I love hearing that someone had a good time at my party. Times this by a million for a wedding, which the bride and groom put so much thought and effort into making fun for their guests! Definitely send them a note telling them how much you enjoyed the day and loved seeing them and reconnecting with old friends. A heartfelt letter like that is something they will remember for a long time.

First off, I'd like to say that I think it's silly NOT to send them a thank you. It sounds like it was a good time and they supplied your accomodations; that's what you are thanking them for.
I'd just write something (to the client)like the last part of your question....THank you for inviting me and making me a part of this grand event, and for taking care of the accomodations.

It never hurts to acknowledge someone's kindness and although it is not normally done, I think you should send a thank you considering that your client went out of his way to include you. Etiquette be damned.
