Getting there

Wedding Venue

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

If you plan to drive to Odette’s, please note parking on-site is only available to overnight guests. There is a designated parking lot and shuttle service at 385 W Bridge Street, New Hope, PA 18938. While this is just 10 mins away, please allow extra time for possible delays.

Traveling by Uber or Lyft

We’ve created vouchers to make your ride over and back as smooth as possible on Saturday, October 4. The below codes can be applied starting at 2:00pm and will last until 2:30am for any late partiers!

  • Uber code: RSDSKYFWVLA

  • Lyft code: SANDY25WEDDING

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.
