Wonderful Venue

Stella of New Hope is without a doubt an amazing place to host a wedding.  We felt taken care of from start to finish.  Zack was our planner at Stella and him and his team were amazing.  They answered any questions we had in a timely manner and were patient with us through the hectic planning process.  Zack had questionnaires that helped lead us through all of the planning and gave us helpful suggestions throughout when we were unsure.  Most of our vendors had also been at Stella multiple times which also helped since they had an idea of what the setup would look like and who to talk to if they needed to.  We got so many comments on the beautiful venue and the amazing food, people are still talking about it a week after.  We would 100% recommend Stella of New Hope for your wedding.

The BEST Day of my life!

So many people asked me leading up to the wedding if I was stressed and I just wasn't and that is all thanks to Stella. Their wedding coordinators know exactly what they are doing and we did not have to worry about a thing. They took care of the set up and the breakdown which meant we could have an enjoyable day leading up to our wedding, and head straight to our after party. The venue is beautiful and honestly didn't even need that much additional decor because of it. It was the best day of my life and we got so many compliments about the entire event - from food to ambiance to the professionalism and helpfulness of the staff. Special shoutout to Zach, basically your built in wedding planner, who truly could not be better at what he does!

Best day of my life!

Stella of New Hope is already a gorgeous Venue to host a wedding. What made the true difference was the perfect coordination and execution of everything I had ever imagined. And none of that would have been possible without the efforts of Mr. Zachary Artz and his team. He takes such pride in his work, that I didn’t have to lift a finger all night, except to drink my endless espresso martinis. If you want a high-end, hands-off wedding, then Stella is definitely the venue for you. This was easily the best day of my life.

I also want to give a shoutout to everyone else working the venue. The bartenders were so friendly and very efficient. The people working the parking lot were super helpful. Shyanne kept an eye on us all night long to make sure we had everything we needed, as well as countless other staff members. I wouldn’t change a thing about that day!

5/10/25 Stella

Stella was the beautiful location of our dream wedding! Not only is Stella located right on the river with several parts of our day utilizing it. It is picturesque and in the welcoming kind unique town of new hope. Stella’s staff went above and beyond with planning , communication and quality. They made sure every single thing was perfect. Zach and his staff were amazing and you can tell they truly love what they do and are very good at it. Trusted them with everything and never had one concern. We are so grateful to have them be the location and back bone to our special day! Pick Stella you won’t regret it then go out for after party in town! We also had many guests and bridal party utilize the ghost light inn and carriage house which made the weekend even more comfortable and like a get away. It was magical and we could not be happier! Thank you Stella !!

Amazing wedding experience

We had our wedding at Stella 6/8/2024 and I'm so glad we chose Stella. The venue itself is beautiful from the outdoor ceremony area to the indoor/outdoor cocktail area and lovely reception space. Zack was so well-organized and responsive throughout the entire process. Zack, Shyanne and team executed our day flawlessly - they're true professionals who know what they're doing and even with delays from others vendors causing our ceremony to start almost an hour late, Zack was calm and flexible, which helped us feel a little more at ease amid the chaos. We didn't eat much at cocktail hour or any of the dessert table unfortunately, but everything we did eat was delicious and we only heard great things from our guests about the food and beautiful waterfront views of the venue. I'd absolutely recommend having your special day at Stella.

Perfect Wedding Day

My husband and I had the absolutely PERFECT wedding day at Stella!! From start to finish the experience and service was exceptional. Special shoutout to Zack, as the director of events and day-of wedding coordinator, you can't ask for any better! The communication is spot on, with timely responses to questions and guidance all along the way as you plan your special day. The food and drinks are incredibly delicious, our guests are still raving about them. The staff is friendly and attentive, and we will be forever grateful to them for making our last-minute ceremony pivot due to rain run flawlessly. Not to mention how picturesque the property is, both indoor and outdoors! The value for what we paid is unmatched, we cannot recommend Stella highly enough!!

Spring brunch bridal shower for 50 people

We hosted my cousin's bridal shower at Stella New Hope. Zack & Shyanne were so easy to work with and made sure that we discussed every detail of the day. Everything was executed perfectly. The food was delicious and the room was so bright, warm and happy. We had a great experience!!

Hidden Gem of New Hope!

My fiancé and I had our wedding of 90 guests at Stella on September 23. We wanted an intimate wedding at a modern style venue and Stella was our answer! The pictures online can’t capture the amazing view and atmosphere that Stella offers. Make the trip to New Hope and let Zack, the events director, walk you through your wedding day and you won’t want to look at any other venues. The level of care and attention to detail that Zack and his event staff (Shyanne & Luis to name a few!) showed throughout the planning process was so appreciated. No question was too small and when we ran into issues, like torrential rain on our wedding day, the staff jumped into action with a backup plan for our ceremony and everything was still as perfect as I could’ve hoped. Our guests raved about the food and loved the indoor/outdoor space for cocktail hour. Zack and his team transformed my minimal decor into something I couldn’t have imagined. All around, my dream wedding and I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

An extra note: Stella has a sister property called Carriage House of New Hope with 3 luxury suites that is only a block away. This is where our bridal party got ready and where we did our first look and majority of pictures. It is another beautiful location that really elevated our whole wedding weekend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
