We love a good light-filled space, but this year we are taking our dinner parties to the streets with moody velvet lounges, sultry lighting and the twinkling lights of a cityscape as our  backdrop. We invite you to kick off the year by hosting your next event or dinner with friends at a cool cosmopolitan cocktail bar or a nightclub with live jazz, prosecco tastings, dj sets and disco balls. Grab your group, hop on the subway and head out for a night of Carrie Bradshaw inspired casual conversations, bottle service and a heckuva good time at one of these spectacular spaces.  Immerse yourself in the odyssey.

Forever a hub for creatives, food lovers and outdoorsy folk, Portland has a lot to offer weddings of both the local and destination variety. You can get out into the mountains and forests, or stay right in the city to show your guests what this place does best. Portland’s wedding scene offers all kinds of cool venues, ranging from modern, newly built spaces to industrial warehouses and old vintage schoolhouses. There’s an urban winery, a speakeasy space and a French chateau, just to name a few of the options. If you’re looking for a wedding spot in the Portland area, here are some of the top venues to check out. Reporter: Alyssa Brown

We’ve gathered intel from far and wide, using the best of our TVR abilities to discover 77 venues that have opened around the world from last spring till now, and some that are soon to swing their doors open too. You might find an urban winery in your city. You might find hotels in your own neighborhood you had no idea existed. You might even find a few places you’ve been busting at the seams to host an event with. If the sheer quantity of venues on this list is any indication of a worldwide desire to connect, gather and celebrate just about anything, consider us impressed. There’s a beachside barn in Australia where you can host an environmentally conscious wedding with lodging for all your guests. There’s an old church in New Orleans filled with relics that doubles as an incredible photography and styling workshop space. There’s a new hotel in downtown Portland that’s killing it by celebrating the head chef’s Texan roots. There’s even a cute little hideaway in the countryside of Idaho where the sweetest family of all time is ready and waiting to make your wedding dreams come true. Whatever kind of venue you’re on the hunt for, we sure hope you find it in the list below. See all of 2019's Hottest New Openings Across the Globe → Reporter: Alyssa Brown
