Wedding Spotlight

We absolutely LOVED our wedding at Hotel Du Village!
Throughout the planning process, we worked closely with Alyssa, who took care of every detail and made the entire experience so much easier than we expected. Aside from coordinating with our outside vendors, Alyssa’s responsiveness and willingness to assist with any request was amazing.
Sara D.
A literal dream come true!
We highly recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. The food was incredible, even let me make a special request for our vegetarian option. And the grounds were impeccably kept and truly beautiful even during the “offseason”. And the entire staff was so warm & happy for us.
Melanie D.
The grounds are stunning for photos and overall, the venue feels very private.
Hotel du Village is a truly special place to hold a wedding. We loved that there’s the opportunity to host each part of the evening in a separate location. Our ceremony was outside, the cocktail hour was in the piano room, dinner was in the colt ballroom, and dancing was in the historic ballroom. It didn’t feel stuffy and kept people entertained throughout the entire evening.
Madeline D.
Our guests would not stop gushing about it’s charm!
You can always tell when the team that works at a venue genuinely enjoys what they do - every single person who was working there the night of our wedding genuinely cared that my husband & I enjoyed each moment and had everything we could possibly need to make the day go smoothly.
Jamie S.
Makes you feel like you are transported to another country.
We fell in love with the grounds and natural beauty. It was amazing to have our family and close friends be able to stay right at the venue. We had the full venue which I would highly recommend. It was so special to have only family and friends there. Thank you, thank you for making the wedding of our dreams come true!
Jacqueline G.

Not inspired by. Not designed to evoke. A genuine French chateau on 12 acres in New Hope, PA. The small luxury wedding venue PA that looks like a European destination because it was built as one.

The property of Hotel du Village has long been part of the rich tapestry of Bucks County, passed between many significant families of the region before Caroline Wood gained rights to it and named it White Oaks. Morgan Colt was the architect for the building, lending his vision and name to what is now our Colt Ballroom. The building went on to become an all-girls school, eventually joining a preparatory school for boys as the campus evolved.

Frank and Jeanne Cretella of byLandmark spent summers staying at Hotel du Village with their family and felt a deep connection to the property from the start. They had long dreamed of owning a place as special as this, one that blended history, hospitality, and heart. In 2013, their dream became reality as they purchased this beautiful historic estate and transformed it into a beloved destination for weddings, celebrations, and corporate retreats.

Much of Hotel du Village’s original woodwork has been restored and incorporated into its renovated design. The old restaurant flooring has been thoughtfully repurposed into the high chapel ceilings of the Historic Ballroom’s pre-function space and bar area. The restaurant, which is now our Historic Ballroom, resides within White Oaks, formerly the setting for the academic and social preparation of young ladies.

Today, Hotel du Village is the most extraordinary destination wedding venue in New Hope, PA, a genuine French chateau on 12 acres in Bucks County, with 29 on-site hotel rooms, two independent ballrooms, a pool, a tennis court, and grounds that feel genuinely transported. Couples choose Hotel du Village because they want their guests to not just attend their wedding, they want them to live in it for a weekend.

It’s neighbored by other luxurious by Landmark wedding venues, including Elkins Estate, Logan Inn, and Cascade Lodge. Together, these venues offer diverse options to craft unforgettable celebrations tailored to every couple’s vision.
