Turning wedding breakfasts into school breakfasts with our new charity partner @Magicbreakfast_UK!

At Artemis, we believe celebrations can create joy that lasts far beyond the day itself. That’s why we’re proud to announce our new partnership with Magic Breakfast, a UK charity that provides healthy breakfasts to school children at risk of hunger.

Artemis weddings will now play a part in helping to fund school breakfasts for children who need them most. It’s a simple but powerful idea: turning celebrations into meaningful social impact.

For couples, this means their first meal as newlyweds can also help to provide nourishing breakfasts for children at risk of hunger.

For our team, the partnership means that our work not only creates unforgettable experiences for our guests but also helps to provide the nourishment children need to learn and thrive.

This is only the beginning of our partnership. We can’t wait to share more about our work together in the coming months.🧡

Introducing our new autumn cocktail range 🍸

At Artemis, we’re always refining our food and drink offering to reflect the changing seasons and the evolving tastes of our guests. This autumn, our bar teams have developed a new cocktail range that captures the richness and warmth of the season.

We've introduced four delicious new cocktails: Apple Spritz, Tiramisu Martini, Pumpkin Spritz, and Chocolate Orange Martini. Each is crafted to showcase creativity, quality ingredients, and the attention to detail that defines every Artemis experience.

It’s all part of our commitment to continual innovation across our venues, ensuring every guest enjoys something distinctive, memorable, and perfectly in tune with the time of year.

Cheers to that! 🍸

⭐ The Artemis team in spotlight ⭐

Introducing Zak Welch, the General Manager at Bassmead Manor Barns!

Zak has been with us for over two years now, leading the day-to-day operation of Bassmead Manor Barns with energy, passion, and lots of laughter!

As General Manager, his mission is simple but powerful: help turn each couple’s dream wedding into a reality. Zak thrives on seeing it all come together as plans unfold on the big day.

Behind the scenes, he’s part of a close-knit team that truly loves what they do and knows how to have lots of fun along the way.
Having worked in weddings and hospitality for years, Zak says that joining Artemis was a breath of fresh air, giving him a work-life balance he hadn’t always had in the past. He loves the fact that things never stand still in this industry and enjoys rising to the challenge of an ever-evolving role.

Away from work, you’ll likely find Zak enjoying good food and wine at local spots, getting lost in a book, or indulging in his guilty pleasure of trashy TV. 📺

Looking to the future, Zak would love to continue to grow with Artemis. He’s keen to bring his energy and passion to more venues and teams across the Artemis Collection – perhaps taking on a dual-site GM role.

We’re really grateful to have you as part of the team, Zak! 👏

With Artemis, there's no such thing as one size fits all. Every wedding or event we host at our venues is truly unique, and we pride ourselves on working with our clients to help them create something that feels personal.
This review from a recent wedding at Gaynes Park says it all...

"What really stood out was how open they were to customising every detail to make the day truly ours. While they offer set menu choices as inspiration, we were able to personalise everything to suit us perfectly – nothing ever felt “standard” or “one size fits all”.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for more. Gaynes Park is the perfect venue, with the most caring team, and we will always look back on our wedding day with so much gratitude and joy."

Congratulations to the Gaynes Park team for such an incredible review!

Last Thursday at head office was all about celebrating our Chief of Staff, Lucy Baugh's 20 year anniversary! The entire office was decorated with pictures of Lucy and messages from people she's worked with over the years. There was a delicious buffet, prosecco, speeches, and of course, a few tears!

Congratulations on 20 years with Artemis, Lucy! We hope you feel thoroughly celebrated. 🧡

⭐ The Artemis team in spotlight ⭐

Introducing Bahareh Ahmadi (Bee), our incredible Wedding Office Manager!

Bee is one of the longest-standing members of the Artemis team, having started with us as a home-based Sales Advisor and working her way up to her current role, in which she heads up the head office sales team. Over the past decade, she’s played a key part in shaping the way we support couples on their wedding journey.

At the heart of Bee’s role is nurturing leads and working closely with our venues and internal teams to ensure we’re delivering exceptional service at every stage. Her favourite thing about her job is being part of such a meaningful moment in people’s lives and helping couples feel confident and cared for.

Bee is also passionate about connection, whether that’s with her team, our venue partners, or the couples we support. Over the years, she’s seen a lot of changes in the industry and the way we stay in touch with couples, but she’s always up for the challenge of adapting to a new way of working!

Outside of work, you’ll find Bee with her family or back on the pitch after rejoining her local football team! ⚽

Thank you, Bee, for your consistent hard work and dedication over the years! 💫

We're delighted to be partnering with @WeMindTheGapp to provide opportunities for young people in North Wales 🤝

WeMindTheGap delivers life-changing programmes for underserved 16–25-year-olds across North Wales and the North West.

As part of this partnership, this summer we welcomed Ariana to our head office in Wrexham for a placement designed to build confidence, skills, and experience in a real working environment. Ariana has been an absolute joy to have on the team, and we’re so pleased she’s enjoyed her time with us.

For many young people, gaining that first piece of work experience can be a real barrier to employment. With this placement, Ariana now has something valuable to add to her CV, which will hopefully serve as a stepping stone to more opportunities ahead.

This partnership is part of our wider commitment to giving back to our communities and supporting meaningful change where it’s needed most. We look forward to continuing our support and welcoming more young people through this initiative in the future.

Thank you to WeMindTheGap for the important work you do, and to Ariana for being such a brilliant addition to the team ✨

Congratulations to the @curradinebarns team for this fantastic review. We're so proud of you all 🧡

We’re proud to announce that we’ve partnered with @kittmedical to become the first wedding venue group in the UK to install their life-saving anaphylaxis kits!

Just like a defibrillator, but for allergies, Kitt Medical provides qualifying businesses with wall-mounted emergency kits, a subscription supply of emergency adrenaline pens, and online CPD-accredited training.

You may recognise Kitt Medical’s co-founders, Zak and James, from their recent appearance on the @bbc's Dragon’s Den, where they secured funding from @deborahmeaden and @steven. Now, Artemis venues are joining iconic qualifying locations, including @royalalberthall and @altontowers, to help set a new standard for allergy care.

We’ve always believed that innovation should serve a purpose, and this partnership demonstrates our ongoing industry-leading commitment to safety and well-being. It is our hope that other wedding and event venues will follow our lead and seek to improve outcomes for those with life-threatening allergies.

Over the years, we've had lots of feedback from past couples that they'd love the chance to return to their wedding venue and reminisce about their special day there.

This year, we made the move from traditional wedding tasting events to our new seasonal Chef's Tables, which are open to the wider community, including past couples. It's been wonderful to welcome many couples back and hear how they're getting on.

Last week, @mythebarnweddings hosted their Summer Chef's Table event, which included a 10-year wedding celebration! Mr and Mrs Miles tied the knot at Mythe back in 2015, and it was wonderful to help them celebrate their milestone together.
