Cheyanne D. Married on 09/24/2021AMAZING! Highly recommend!
The Stella Hotel and Ballroom was absolutely perfect for our wedding. The venue is stunning and requires minimal decor, it’s perfect on its own. We did lot of florals, and the ballroom was classy, romantic and timeless. The staff and coordinator, Jordyn, was so wonderful to work with. She made sure every detail was thought of, and I had no stress because I knew everything was being taken care of. She checked in with me throughout the planning process, and was so organized. The food and drinks were amazing as well. I love that the food, linens, cocktails, hotel rooms, ceremony … (everything!) is all in one spot and things ran so smooth. We had our dream wedding, and I couldn’t be more pleased with it. I highly recommend the Stella. If I could do it again, I’d pick the Stella over and over. -

Maralena T. Married on 08/06/2021The most magical wedding venue straight out of a magazine!
Words cannot describe how happy I am with our wedding at the Stella. First of all, it is a stunning venue. There is a certain elegance to it that I did not feel at any other venue I toured. The bridal suite is picture perfect! Food delicious. Lighting phenomenal. We loved that there was a private balcony for those needing some fresh air. The private bar is large and open.
The staff was fantastic. Jordyn, the event coordinator, was an angel to work with. She was so responsive and did everything she could to ensure a smooth day. I even saw her clearing off plates at the reception -- talk about commitment! Everyone was a joy to work with and I would recommend the Stella any day.
