With only four country-chic guest suites, this isn’t exactly a party hotel. But if you’re looking for a waterside wedding site with buckets of charm, the Golden Pheasant Inn could be your answer. Emerging last month from a serious renovation, the Bucks County landmark surveys both the Delaware River and Pennsylvania Canal, and takes a super-local approach to cooking, sourcing everything from honey to beef to cheese from Delaware River Valley farms. You can’t beat the location: Since you’re only 90 minutes from Manhattan and Philadelphia, you can invite guests to spend a weekend without the hassle of airports or hitting the road at dawn. And those who don’t luck into one of the upstairs suites can overnight in New Hope, just down the road.
