“It really felt like our own private boutique hotel, full of warmth and joy. We wouldn’t have changed anything.”

We love hearing feedback like this from a recent guest at @PelhamHouse. Every detail, from the setting and service to the food and flow of the day, is designed to create that exact feeling: a place that’s entirely yours, filled with warmth, joy, and unforgettable moments.

Because with Artemis, it’s not just a venue, it’s your private hideaway for the day.

Prioritising mental health and well-being at Artemis 🧡

This week, members of our executive team and general managers attended mental health awareness training at @ThePearTree, led by Michael Lloyd from Workplace Mental Health Charter UK.

Mental health awareness is an important part of our company culture, as it’s something that every single team member can benefit from. As a business, we recognise the importance of supporting our teams personally, as well as professionally, and the positive impact mental health support can have on people's well-being.

This session marks the start of a wider mental health training programme across Artemis that seeks to ensure our leaders and teams have the tools and understanding to support one another effectively.

A huge thank you to Michael for delivering such an insightful and valuable session, and to everyone who took part with openness and care.

Celebrating International Chefs Day! 🧑‍🍳

In honour of International Chefs Day, we want to give a huge shout-out to our incredible chefs from across our venues. Their creativity, skill, and passion bring our weddings and events to life, creating unforgettable dining experiences for all. Behind the scenes, they work tirelessly, often long before the first guests arrive, to ensure every dish looks and tastes exceptional.

From Kitchen Assistants to Head Chefs, the team's dedication to quality ingredients, beautiful presentation, and exceptional flavour help make every celebration truly memorable. We are so grateful for every one of them.

Spotlight on our team: introducing Lex Mottram, General Manager at @CombermereAbbeyWeddings

Lex began his hospitality career managing bars and nightclubs before moving into operations across multiple hospitality businesses. In 2019, he joined Artemis as General Manager for @OldPalaceChester, leading the team from its opening with great success.

In 2024, Lex took on a new challenge as he stepped into the role of General Manager at Combermere Abbey, now overseeing both venues.

Recently, Lex sat down with Sarah Callander Beckett, owner of @CombermereAbbey, to talk all things weddings, the beauty of the estate’s gardens, and the continued success of this incredible venue.

We’re so proud of Lex’s journey and of the strong, collaborative relationship we’ve built with Sarah and the team at Combermere Abbey. Together, we’re continuing to create unforgettable experiences and look forward to everything the future holds.

“They were incredible from start to finish… so accommodating and flexible with everything. No ask was too big or too small.”

Feedback like this reminds us what hospitality is truly about. At Artemis, we believe that creating unforgettable experiences starts with genuine care, adaptability, and a willingness to go above and beyond for every guest.

Across all our venues - like the wonderful team at @mythebarnweddings, who received this glowing review - we take pride in offering a service that’s as flexible as it is personal. Every celebration is unique, and our role is to make each one feel effortless, seamless, and entirely tailored to our guests, creating an unforgettable experience for all.

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.🧡

⭐ 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 ✨
