    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!!

    All around fantastic!

    Great venue, great location and most importantly great team! Zachary Artz and Shyanne Slimmer and the entire team were amazing from first tour, to menu tasting, to wedding day and everything in between.

    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.

    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!

    Wonderful experience

    Picture perfect venue even though the rain had us moving our ceremony inside last minute. The staff ensured the ceremony was still lovely and intimate, and all ran smoothly. Excellent coordination between staff members, and good communication with Stella and us with planning. The food was phenomenal- definitely recommend family style so all guests can try everything that is served. Picture perfect setting around Stella for photos as well. We enjoyed having our micro wedding at Stella.

    Simply Perfect!

    Stella is a gorgeous place for a wedding! Zach, Shyanne, Selvi, Megan, and the rest of the staff were friendly, flexible, and attentive to ensure that my wedding ran smoothly. All night my guests kept complimenting the delicious food, drinks, and kind waitstaff.

    Just Amazing.

    We are so happy that we chose Stella - it was just amazing. Zach and Silvie made our day so seemless. The space is just so beautiful, we had our ceremony right between Stella and the playhouse, right on the river. All of my guests commented on how good the food was, and how the staff was so on point. We loved it!!

    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.

    Hosted my sister's Bridal Shower at Stella and it was amazing!

    I recently hosted my sister's Bridal Shower at Stella and it was an amazing experience. Zach and Gwyn helped us create the vision we were looking for and provided useful tips and suggestions while staying in line with what we wanted for the event. The whole staff was extremely friendly and helpful the day of the shower and our guests had an amazing time. The menu was delicious and the space itself was just beautiful. Highly recommend Stella for your next private event!

    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 of New Hope


    Special Thanks to Sue Evans, General Manager of Stella of New Hope, Zachary Artz, Sales Manager, Luis Santiago, Event Coordinator, Rashard Events along with bar and wait staff for making our event a huge success.

    Everyone entering the classy venue was greeted with a refreshing glass of champaign to enjoy
    on the beautiful outside promenade.

    The dinner seating overlooking the beautiful Delaware River was a big hit with guests. The variety of hors d'oeuvre along with the family-style meal were delicious. Everyone had more than enough to eat and could ask for more.

    The only complaint the night went too quickly:)

    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.

    Perfect Night, Worth the Wait!

    My husband and I booked with Stella pre-Covid, in Jan. 2020 for a Dec. 2020 date. Then Covid happened, and we changed our date and 2020 plans due to the pandemic. The team at Stella was so helpful and patient with us while we navigated what we wanted our reception-turned-one-year-anniversary party to be in Sept. 2021. When we originally booked, Zack was not our contact but he did a great job jumping right in at the end of 2020 and getting caught up on what we were planning and hoping to do. He was very helpful in shaping the event we had, which we completely changed a few weeks before our due to low RSVPs. He was very patient while we changed almost every detail because of this. We ended up going ahead with a family-style meal on their street-level space, open to the promenade, and it could not have been more perfect. The food (tip: get the fried pickles passed app), the layout of the tables, the drinks, everything. The views are spectacular: our guests were outside taking in the views well into the night. Our guests were completely satisfied the entire time and could not stop raving about the food and beauty of the space. Zack, Rashard (the catering manager) and the entire staff at Stella are tremendous. Zach made sure that I, my husband, even our families had everything we needed and were never without food, drinks, or anything. We cannot recommend Zack, Rashard and Stella enough, we cannot thank them enough for making our event (2 years in the making!) so wonderful, perfect and worth the wait.

    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!

    Awesome Wedding Reception at Stella!

    We held our wedding reception last month at Stella and it was awesome! The venue was perfect for 63 people and highly recommend Stella to anyone with a party of similar size.

    Zack and the staff were great to work with. Everything went smoothly and my wife and I felt very well attended to throughout the night.

    I got compliments from my family and friends on the organization, service, and the food! Everyone loved spending the night at Stella. My friends are honest about food and I had numerous people go out of their way to tell me how much they enjoyed the short ribs and salmon.

    Thanks again Zack and Stella for making it an amazing night we will never forget!
