⭐ The Artemis team in spotlight ⭐

Introducing Claire White, our brilliant Welcome Team Manager at @brookfieldbarn

As the very first point of contact for couples looking to host their wedding with us, Claire plays a key role in helping them visualise their perfect day at our beautiful lakeside venue.

Claire joined Artemis in January 2025 and brings with her over 20 years of experience in the wedding industry. She's passionate about connecting with couples, understanding their vision, and showing how Brookfield Barn can bring that vision to life. ✨

Although she’s only been with Artemis for a few months, Claire is already making a huge impact and has become a key member of our team. She’s fully embraced the role, enjoying the process of discovering everything that makes Brookfield Barn so special. She loves working alongside a team that inspires one another to deliver the best possible experience for every couple.

Outside of work, Claire keeps things very Zen, enjoying meditation, being outdoors in nature and practicing mindfulness. 🧘‍♀️ 🍃

We’re so pleased to have Claire as part of the team, and we can’t wait to see the magic she continues to create at Brookfield Barn 💫

Greetings from Dublin! ✉️🇮🇪

Some of our bar team recently took a trip over the Irish Sea to Dublin to visit Jameson Distillery with our friends at @pernodricarduk. It's so important to us that our teams continue to learn and grow throughout their careers with Artemis. Not only does it lead to happier, more fulfilled team members, but it also means that we continuously improve our offering and guest experience. Win-win! ☘️

Take a peek behind the scenes of our Welcome Team training day! 👀

Earlier this month, our Welcome Team Managers from across the business came together at @thepeartreepurton for a brilliant day of training, connection, and fun.

The day focused on elevating the guest journey from first enquiry to welcome meeting, with sessions on emotional storytelling, show-round best practices, CRM tools, marketing insights, and social media strategy. 📝

We also explored how to create a consistently high standard across all venues while staying true to each location’s unique personality.
It was a great reminder of how vital our Welcome Teams are to every couple’s journey and how important it is to invest in their growth and success.

We love bringing together our teams from across the country to share their unique knowledge and perspectives with one another, with lots of fun along the way. It helps to remind us that whilst we may work hundreds of miles away from one another, we're all part of one big team focused on setting the stage for the unforgettable. ✨

Savour the Seasons: a summer menu that brings weddings and events to life ☀️

At the heart of every unforgettable celebration is a carefully curated menu that reflects the season, enhances the setting, and brings people together.

With years of experience in crafting bespoke food and drink experiences, we understand how to elevate weddings and events through thoughtful, seasonally inspired dining. Our summer menu is designed to do just that.

Think crisp-skinned salmon paired with baby artichokes and broad beans, saffron-poached chicken accompanied by courgettes and chive cream, or a vibrant risotto bursting with peas, basil, and blue cheese.

Or, keep it casual by passing around wood-fired pizzas straight from the pizza oven, or a classic English barbecue.

Pair it with garden-fresh cocktails, from a sparkling limoncello spritz to a strawberry rosé sangria, and you have a celebration that tastes as good as it feels.

We pride ourselves on collaborating with our couples and event owners to design a menu that’s unique to them. That way, we can tailor every element to suit their vision, seamlessly blending flavour, style, and service.

Seasonal food and drink set the stage for an unforgettable experience. And we’re here to help you savour every second.✨

Raising the Bar: The Importance of Training 🍸

In April, we launched our new made-to-order cocktail menu. As we planned for this launch, we knew it was essential to go beyond the drinks themselves and invest in the people serving them.

That’s why we brought together our Bar Managers from across the country for a hands-on training session at @thepeartreepurton delivered in partnership with @pernodricard. From mastering the perfect shake to fine-tuning flavour balance, every detail was covered.

Our goal was to ensure that every cocktail at every Artemis wedding or event is crafted to the same high standard. Consistent quality and elevated service across all our venues ensure that our guests' experience feels as carefully considered as the menu itself.

We’ve also created a comprehensive suite of training videos to go alongside the in-person training. This means that as our Bar Managers returned to their respective venues, they could share the training with their teams and ensure every bartender feels confident and equipped to start mixing up cocktails for themselves.

We've already had some fantastic feedback from guests about our new cocktail menu. We're looking forward to finding out guest favourites over the coming wedding season! ✨

Our Artemis Master Chef 2025 winners, Tom from @crumplebury and Matthew from @curradinebarns, were recently featured in an article on the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce website!

The competition was a true celebration of creativity, skill, and teamwork. Chefs were given the opportunity to work with seasonal ingredients like wood pigeon, oysters, bream, and venison, pushing themselves to deliver bold and innovative dishes that wowed the judges. But the event was much more than just a culinary contest – it was about passion, adaptability, and the spirit of collaboration, and our chefs excelled on every level.

We are incredibly proud of Tom and Matthew. Their achievement showcases the dedication and attention to detail we put into every event we host at our exclusive use venues in Worcester. Whether it’s a small, intimate gathering or a grand celebration, our chefs are passionate about working closely with clients to create bespoke menus tailored to the unique needs of each event.

At the start of April, our venue General Managers from across the country came together at the beautiful @curradinebarns for an important day of reflection, strategy, and team-building.

In the fast-paced world of weddings and events, it’s rare for our venue teams to have the opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and connect in person. However, making space for collaboration and shared learning is deeply important to us at Artemis. We may be spread across multiple venues, but we are one big team and coming together gives us a chance to reflect, exchange insights and strengthen the entire group.

The day was filled with valuable discussions, knowledge sharing, and an opportunity to align on future goals. We also enjoyed team-building activities organised by our friends at @eventurous_ltd, a delicious meal prepared by the Curradine chefs, and a fantastic overnight stay at @crumplebury.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this event possible! Here’s to staying connected, learning from each other, and continuing to grow together. 💫

⭐The Artemis team in spotlight⭐

Introducing our digital marketing manager, Louise Roberts! Louise is the driving force behind our paid marketing strategies, overseeing Google Ads, social media advertising, and directory listings across platforms like @bridebookhq, @hitcheduk, and @venuescanner.

With seven years at Artemis, Louise’s passion for the wedding industry runs deep. As a child, she dreamt of owning a bridal boutique and spent hours sketching wedding dresses, so it’s no surprise she now thrives in a role that helps couples find their perfect wedding venue.

Louise loves collaborating with her team, bringing together different areas of expertise to create innovative marketing strategies (and some impressive office buffets!). Her positive energy and creative ideas have even earned her the unofficial title of "head of fun" from her marketing team colleagues.

Louise was recently asked to join our 2025 Master Chef judging panel, which she says was a dream come true for a foodie like her!

Away from work, Louise enjoys spending time with her three-year-old daughter, whose passion for @chesterzoo means that Louise’s knowledge of zoo animals is almost as strong as her digital marketing expertise!

Thank you to Louise and all of our team members for the wonderful work you do 🤩

Since 2005, this stunning lakeside barn venue in Cheshire has been hosting incredible weddings, becoming a staple of the Cheshire community. Built with love and care by the Worth family, it has become one of the region’s most highly regarded venues.

This partnership is particularly special to us, as Artemis has had a long-standing relationship with Sandhole Oak Barn for many years. In fact, it was our founder, Diana Hastie, who advised the Worth family to build the Oak Barn back in 2003! We are honoured to now be entrusted with its future, continuing its incredible legacy.

Now, under Artemis's management, Sandhole Oak Barn will continue to offer unforgettable weddings while also expanding into private and corporate events. From 2026, we’ll be bringing our in-house catering expertise to enhance the exceptional food, drink, and service that couples and guests experience.

A huge thank you to the Worth family for their dedication and passion over the past two decades. We look forward to working closely with the venue’s fantastic team to ensure Sandhole thrives for many more years to come. 🧡
