Kristin Sent on 11/18/2025Wonderful 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. -

Kristen Sent on 10/28/2025The 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!Stella of New Hope's reply:
Hey Kristen and Nick!
What a nice review, thank you so much! You two were lovely. I loved your disco-ball pumpkins, too. Thank you for being so easy to work with! -

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! -

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 !!

Natalie Sent on 05/13/2024Perfect 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!! -

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!! -

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! -

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. -

Kristen Sent on 05/16/2022Stella Is Stellar!
We had our wedding (ceremony & reception) at Stella of New Hope, and while the weather wasn't great, EVERYTHING else was! I can't say enough good things about the team at Stella! Zach, was our wedding coordinator and his team on site was just amazing. He was super helpful & responsive during the planning process, and executed the event without a hitch. Of course, the food was amazing, not your typical wedding food experience, everything from the hors d'oeuvres to the entree stations to the dessert spread was delicious! The venue is beautiful, sitting right on the river, and the venue itself is beautifully decorated. I really can't praise them enough, I highly recommend Stella for any special event you're planning. They are true professionals! -

Nicole Sent on 03/31/2022THE 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! -

Christa Sent on 10/05/2021Perfect 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. -

Jennifer Sent on 10/31/2025Stella made our wedding day shine (even in the rain)!!
We could not have asked for a better experience having our wedding at Stella! From start to finish, our venue coordinator, Zack Artz, and his incredible team went above and beyond to make sure everything was seamless. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Zack was communicative, organized, and reassuring—handling every detail so we could focus on enjoying the process.
On the big day, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing—our drinks were always full, every request was handled instantly, and the team anticipated our needs before we could even ask. When rain forced us to pivot from our planned outdoor ceremony to an indoor setup at the last minute, Zack’s professionalism and calm guidance made all the difference. His recommendation turned out to be perfect—the indoor ceremony was intimate, beautifully executed, and honestly even better than what we’d envisioned.
We are endlessly grateful to Zack and the entire team for their care, expertise, and kindness. They made our wedding day stress-free and absolutely unforgettable.Stella of New Hope's reply:
Hey Jen!
Thank you so much for the kind words and positive feedback! You two were such a pleasure. Special shoutout to Naticia as well, she is such a rockstar! -

Brittany Sent on 11/24/2024Great for putting a stressed bride at ease! AMAZING food, staff and views.
Stunning venue, great staff, everything was wonderful. We had a wedding with 100 guests, and I actually unknowingly had covid on my wedding day. Our coordinator, Zach, and the entire staff at Stella were so accommodating and helpful, catering to me as I was asking for ginger ale and so many glasses of water to help make me feel better during the day of. The venue is beautiful - rustic, but not gaudy, which was perfect for my husband and myself. The riverfront view was absolutely a dream and I felt like I was taken care of by absolutely everyone at the venue. In a way, everyone was incredibly emotionally intelligent - I felt taken care of without feeling suffocated by people asking if I needed anything.
Food was the the best things I've ever tasted
Venue was just beautiful
Future Brides: The only thing I would say is PLEASE have them make up a sample menu for you based on your estimated guest count BEFORE you book with them. Our "estimated amount due" went up by a whopping $7,000-$8,000 that we weren't expecting. Soooo. Everything else was a dream, but PLEASE ask them to create a sample menu for you so the final price is not a surprise.Stella of New Hope's reply:
Hey Brittany!
Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm so glad we were still able to make it a great day even though you weren't feeling well!!
I hope to see you and Max again soon!
Cheers,
Zack -

I was hosting my sons rehearsal dinner and day after wedding brunch. My interactions with Zack, the coordinator were seamless. The banquet manager, Rashard was both experienced and accommodating. The attention to detail was noticed by all. The staff was pleasant and the food was great.
