Getting to New Hope, where to stay, and places to see while in town.

Getting there

Wedding Venue

River House at Odette’s
274 River Rd, New Hope, PA 18938

Traveling by train

We recommend taking either the Amtrak or New Jersey Transit (NJT), each stop nearby in Trenton, NJ. If using Amtrak, we suggest booking at least 2-3 months in advance as it can get pricey.

Traveling by plane

We recommend flying into Philadelphia (PHL), about a 50 minute drive away or Trenton-Mercer (TNN), about a 25 minute drive away.

Stay

Places are starting to book up fast given the popular time of year to visit, so we suggest you make arrangements ASAP.

Below are our recommendations (some with room blocks) and all are within a 10 min drive of Odette’s.

  • Please note Odette’s is the priciest option and has a 2-night minimum stay.

    If you’d like to stay here for one night only, we have a room block on both Friday and Saturday (10 rooms each night).
    Please call directly as the block is not listed online. Say you’re part of the “Ng-Fels wedding” but note there’s no discount.
