New Hope, Pennsylvania is a wonderful destination for any couple hoping to escape the mundane for the weekend. Whereas city destination weddings are ever-popular, city logistics present their own challenges which can detract from the enjoyment of your wedding. In comparison, a wedding in New Hope is feasible. Wedding parties and guests can walk right into town and have time to explore all the charm that the town has to offer without feeling as though the focus of the wedding itself has been lost. The combination of the gorgeous reception space and the practicality of a small-town, results in a destination experience without the complications of truly planning a destination wedding. When asked about the best assets for a couple considering a venue like Odette's, Executive Director of Sales, Krista Ostrander, says "It really combines the romantic and the whimsical with this exceptional and unique architecture. It is a ballroom that truly just brings the outside in." It is so much more than just an opulent space with bountiful coveted waterfront views. Inside, with all the glass walls wide open, it is as though the barrier between the inside and outside world disappears. This is one of the major appeals of Odette's. While there is gorgeous, natural ambiance all around, there is also security in knowing that you are able to fully plan everything and protect it from the elements at the same time. Even if you need to close the paneling to the outside, the glass panels ensure that there is never a need to lose your view. Furthermore, there is radiator heat all along the porches, so there is no need to fear a change in weather--the ambiance or atmosphere will never be lost. V U E N J .C O M 140
