We loved The Stella! It was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding venue. The ballroom was beautifully done and was the perfect space for both our ceremony and reception. The staff was excellent. The day of our wedding, Deanna was there first thing in the morning to make sure everything was running as smoothly as possible and Dameon made sure the food and bar were running perfectly. They both made sure that our day went as well as it could with zero hiccups, it was the perfect day! The food was also excellent, and to this day our guests still talk about how much fun they had and how much they loved the Stella. I highly recommend this venue! Reviewed on 01-01-2024

The Stella has been my dream venue since it opened, and it exceeded my high expectations! The historic architecture is gorgeous, with beautiful natural light, but even more importantly, the staff members are wonderful. Deanna, Dameon and Danielle are all kind and professional, and went above and beyond to make my husband and I feel special! They are detail oriented, with touching gestures like a lobby welcome sign with our names on it for our tasting.The team has impressive tenure, and the output to back it up. I felt 100% worry free with the team handling everything, which was a blessing. Not many brides can say that they didn’t feel stressed on the morning of the wedding day, but I can! My day went without a hitch (and if there was a hitch, I didn’t notice!).I would choose the Stella as my wedding venue a hundred times over again. I enjoyed every trip I made to meet with Deanna, even when the wedding planning had me a little stressed.If the Stella is on your list, I say DO IT!*Photos by Lish Marie Photography Flowers by Julie Moyer (Flowers at the Inn) Dress from Bon Bon Belle Reviewed on 30-12-2023

We absolutely loved The Stella for our wedding venue! We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the space was. Deanna and Dameon were so helpful throughout the wedding planning process, setting up the day before, and coordinating on the day of. Deanna was very responsive during the planning portion and never seemed bothered by my million questions. Dameon had wonderful energy throughout the night and took care of collecting all of our decorations / props at the end of the night so that we could enjoy ourselves. We are so thankful for everyone’s help! Extra plus was the beautiful bridal suite for getting ready and keeping our belongings in throughout the day. Highly recommend The Stella for a wedding. So excited to return for future anniversaries to relive the best day of our lives! Thank you!! Reviewed on 16-07-2023
Janelle Hunt(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-03-2023 I could go on forever about this venue and staff. The venue itself is gorgeous and made for the perfect backdrop to our classical romantic themed wedding. Lots of natural lighting and tall ceilings. The location is beautiful in downtown Kenosha. Our guests were raving about how beautiful the venue was. The bridal suite is beautiful and was able to accommodate a large group of ladies. But most importantly, it's the staff. Deanna and Dameon, who were our wedding coordinators were incredible. So accommodating and attentive. I never had to worry about anything on our big day because of them and their amazing service staff. I highly recommend the Stella for any event! Reviewed on 05-04-2023
