Stella may be a little far out but this venue is totally worth it! Not only is the venue stunning, the people that work there are so helpful and lovely! I had the most perfect wedding at stella with the huge help of Shelby Daugherty. She was the day of coordinator and she truly went above and beyond the call of duty. She took care of things we didn't even know we needed to. The day was flawless because of her and I can't thank her enough. Some one give this girl a raise. Bottom line if you are thinking about getting married at Stella, do it. 10/10 would recommend.

I wish the best for any business. We came to attend a wedding. The event was held under an outdoor tent. Word of advice for the owner/owners....build a pave walkway for your guest from the parking lot. Many people ruin their nice shoes walking into the venue.. Make the entrance for your guest away from the service entrance.

My friends and I were looking for a place to go on a little staycation to get away. Our group consisted of 9 people (4 couples & 1 single friend). We decided to book the weekend at Stella after seeing the awesome accommodations they offered. Let me just say it was so worth it!
Shelby made the booking process extremely easy, and Alex was so great with getting us settled in & helping with whatever we needed throughout the weekend. If youre looking for a place to get away for the weekend, or even just one night.. our group highly recommends Stella Plantation! Its so much more than just

Really cool venue! Staff was great, band was great (unsure if they were contracted outside of the venue). Had a wonderful time minus the bugs. It was a massacre. But that's not their fault so I give a pass.
