Artà was a gorgeous venue — the Red Room created such an intimate, warm atmosphere for our wedding. The decor, lighting, and vintage furniture made everything feel cinematic and cozy. Staff were attentive and kind, and the food was delicious and well-presented. Our guests had a wonderful time, and we were able to add deeply personal touches like a memory table and a glowing send-off, which meant the world to us.
The main downside was accessibility — the bathrooms were located upstairs, which made it difficult for me as a disabled guest. Thankfully, staff were understanding and allowed me to use a downstairs bathroom, but accessibility could definitely be improved for future events.

The function room was beautiful and the staff were very attentive and inclusive, they were always there to lend a helping hand if need be.
It was very very hot!!! I was sweltering the entire night, so maybe they can invest in some air con down stairs :)

'What an amazing Venue! The staff were exceptional and I can’t praise them enough! Steven was absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond my expectations and we are truly grateful for all he did. The bar staff were also amazing. Thank you so much for making my daughter’s 21st birthday party perfect! X' - Nigel R. rated it 5/5 stars
'The Red Room was the perfect size and beautifully decorated. Other guests said that it was so nice, that they would book it in the future.' - Caitlin M. rated it 5/5 stars
'The courtyard is such a beautiful setting and I truly believe I couldn’t have chosen anywhere better for my partner’s 30th. The size was perfect, the staff were there when you needed them and so happy to help with anything at all. One of our elderly guests had a fall when getting into her taxi and the staff at Arta looked after her wonderfully, which wasn’t their responsibility at all but they were incredibly attentive and gentle with her. We had the most amazing evening with such tasty catering and I really can’t recommend Arta enough (specifically the Courtyard) for a special occasion. I hope I have my own party there one day!'

A great team of staff everyone had a great day. Food was lovely and plenty of it! would highly recommend for a night out!'
