My daughters engagement party was so beautiful.

From our first meeting with the events manager Zack who helped us pick just the right food and drinks and ambiance for my daughters wedding I am sincerely impressed with this venue. New Hope is a gorgeous backdrop for a party and the food totally knocked me out -
the personalized service we received from the very beginning to the last goodbyes. I would send anyone I love here to
Plan an event they can be proud of and remember forever. This venue is true class.

They did such a great job!

My wife and I hosted our son's rehearsal dinner at Stella. Their ballroom is incredible. We didn't have to do anything, they took care of everything. Selvi and Shyanne made suer my guests were happy the entire time. The food was INCREDIBLE, worth booking just for the food. Highly recommend.

Excellent Service and Communication

We cannot say enough about Zach and his staff at Stella’s. We had a last minute event for 50+ people that they were able to pull off quickly. They were so helpful in every way possible. We were able to enjoy the event without any concerns. The food and atmosphere was excellent. I would highly recommend.

THE BEST wedding venue & coordinator team!

My husband and I absolutely LOVED Stella of New Hope. The entire wedding planning process was really simple and straightforward, from the start of our venue search all the way through to the day after the wedding- all thanks to the amazing team of wedding coordinators that work at Stella! We felt like a king and queen the day of, with every little detail taken care of. We could tell the coordinators really cared about making our day perfect! The venue itself is beautiful, from the riverfront promenade ceremony to cocktail hour on the covered deck to the beautiful ballroom for dinner & dancing. For all these perks, the price really wasn't bad either. We wouldn't change a single thing about the entire wedding planning process or the day of the wedding. HIGHLY recommend, you won't regret it!

Stella is the best!

We cannot thank Zack, and the entire staff at Stella enough. We had our wedding there in October, and every detail of the day was perfectly planned and made for the most amazing celebration. Everyone's kindness and helpfulness leading up to the big day was so appreciated. Zack is extremely responsive to every question that comes up, and made our day so seamless. We loved the ceremony outside, the beautiful ballroom and views, and the incredible drinks, food, and overall service. We loved and would highly recommend booking Stella and opting for the family style meal. Such a great deal for an amazing venue, location, and experience. Can't say enough about Stella of New Hope!

Absolutely Breathtaking!

As soon as my husband and I parked our car at the gorgeous Stella restaurant, overlooking the water in gorgeous New Hope, we knew that this would be our venue! We wanted to choose a venue with a stylish, elegant feel. The event manager, Zack, was always there to guide our journey. When we first met with him, he talked us through the trajectory of our wedding from start to finish. He took a considerable amount of time to thoroughly walk us through and answer any questions that we had. He was persistent in communication, which was great for me because I always had a question pop up! While planning, Zack gave the most incredible ideas for our food, ambiance and overall structure to our special day. Most importantly, he always reminded us that this was OUR day. The food and service is excellent at Stella. The classy style, meticulous attention to detail, stunning views and overall sophisticated experience... it was everything we asked for. On my wedding day, I felt relaxed and I never had to worry. The coordinator was there every step of the way, guiding me. What I appreciated most was the time I had to celebrate with my husband. We had a gorgeous first look, a beautiful moment together after the ceremony and such a perfect, memorable reception. I also would like to add that we searched for a venue that also had hotel accommodations, and staying at the attached Ghost Light Inn was satisfactory! My husband and I continue to go to the Stella restaurant, as the food is exquisite... and so beautiful! There is not one thing I would have changed. If you are looking for an absolutely breathtaking spot, then choose 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!!

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.
