  • So who is Stella?

Stella Mary was my beautiful Nan! A delightful lady that always welcomed you with a loving smile and a warm hug. She had the biggest heart, always a kind word, tender and gentle and a funny little laugh that was indeed contagious.

She always had a way of making you feel that you were so so special and inspired and encouraged me to never give up on my dreams. And thanks to you Nan I didn’t, that’s why I have dedicated this special place to you

The childhood memories of Nans place make me smile and will remain with me forever. Over the years she helped me grow and learn about life and I was so lucky to have her in my life into my early 40’s.
I lived with Nan for 4 years in my early 20’s and she instilled in me the values and morals I still live with today.

I will forever cherish this photo of Nan and I on my wedding day, she was so proud and I was so blessed to have her there with me on that very special day.

The memories of the cups of tea and tasty treats were simply the best at Nan’s place … And Stella Marys cooking was amazing! She taught me how to cook, the old fashioned way when food was enjoyed and appreciated not just eaten! lol
In her presence you always felt that all was good in the world… you were loved and cared for, looked after and protected. Sometimes no words were needed just the look from those loving eyes and a small smile made everything ok.
And her presence and beautiful memory lives on here with us today and always.
She will always be such a special part of this place because I carry that love for her in my heart.

So we ask you to do exactly that… enjoy every minute you have here with us At Stella’s, because we really are in the business of making dreams come true.

With Little Notice

With little notice my fiancé and I decided to pull our wedding forward 9 months, to include a terminally ill family member in our special day. We had 10 days to plan and execute the wedding, and by luck we found Tarnya. To put it simply, without Tarnya this wedding would not have happened, and it wouldn’t have happened as beautifully nor as flawlessly. Tarnya went above and beyond in a way we did not fathom possible. The ceremony had an amazing view, an amazing setup, amazing ambiance, she speaks naturally and effortlessly as if she were one of the family.

Tarnya will give you 100% of herself and we will always be thankful we found her to help us with our wedding.

Hardy Family

Tarnya is absolutely amazing. She gave us our dream wedding we hope for. She also provided food and wine and there was soo much food for us and the guest. I highly recommend her to all family and friends. – Love the Hardy Family xxxx

Wow, wow, wow – what a day!

Wow, wow, wow – what a day! One that my husband and I will never ever forget! Having eloped from Tassie to have our special day held At Stella’s was the best decision we could have ever made. We thank Tarnya from the bottom of our hearts for her warm, welcoming and heartfelt personality which made our ceremony so intimate and special. Every detail and request, Tarnya welcomed with open arms, with nothing too much trouble to make our day the way we wanted it. The most incredible views took our breath away and provided a stunning back drop for this already beautiful venue – the icing on the cake! Thank you again Tarnya

Amy and Kyle

Everything about our wedding day at At Stellas was BEYOND PERFECT and stress free 😍
The staff, the views, the food, decorations.. everything!
Tarn is the most involved venue owner I have ever come across. So organised and efficient with communications. Made it super easy especially since we were organising the wedding from interstate. Answered all my questions that I bombarded her with via calls/texts/emails so readily! There was plenty of flexibility to make the wedding personalised. Everyone went above and beyond achieving the intimate, relaxed vibe I had envisioned spot on🥳- Amy and Kyle
