Artemis Ranch Celebrates the First On-Property Wedding with a Beautiful Spring Day in an Intimate Setting

Hill Country, Texas — April 2025

This past weekend, Artemis Ranch and Retreat had the extraordinary honor of hosting its very first on-property wedding—an elegant, intimate celebration set against the breathtaking backdrop of spring in the Texas Hill Country. With 180° views to the west and north, towering oaks swaying overhead, and the grandeur of the Artemis Lodge standing proudly, the stage was set for an unforgettable union.

Congratulations to Tommy & Heather on their beautiful spring wedding day at Artemis Ranch

The couple exchanged vows on the lower lawn, a picturesque expanse framed by towering oaks. As guests arrived and found their places on the lawn, nature itself seemed to join in the celebration. A soft breeze carried the scent of the spring season while birdsong offered a gentle prelude to the ceremony. Zebra, deer, antelope and watusi roamed the valley below. With the rolling hills stretching out beyond the horizon, the setting created a sense of serenity and sun-drenched splendor that only Artemis Ranch can offer.

After the couple said their “I do’s,” the celebration flowed seamlessly uphill to the upper lawn and poolside patio—transformed for the evening into a chic outdoor reception. The energy shifted from ceremonial reverence to celebratory joy - the DJ spun records from a curated setlist, blending country classics and contemporary tunes with custom requests. The bar offered a full custom menu, including handcrafted signature cocktails designed especially for the couple—light, inspired libations that complemented their stunning pink floral theme, a vibrant nod to the season’s renewal.

White-glove staff served hors d'oeuvres and upscale bites prepared fresh from the kitchen, each plate as beautiful as it was flavorful. Guests mingled effortlessly between zones: lounging on the lawn under soft dappled sunlight, gathering around elegant cocktail tables on the patio, or stepping inside to enjoy the luxurious, climate-controlled interior of the lodge. From cozy indoor seating areas and full creature comforts to the immersive natural beauty outdoors, the event showcased the flexibility and comfort Artemis Ranch is known for.

Throughout the afternoon, the 75 cherished guests were free to choose their own pace—whether taking selfies with the iconic Hill Country views, sipping craft cocktails by the infinity-edge pool, or enjoying intimate conversations in the indoor lounge. Accessibility and ease were central to the evening’s success, proving that Artemis is not only stunning but also impeccably designed for effortless hospitality.

The afternoon concluded with a remarkable toast: the bride and groom raised glasses of rare Pappy Van Winkle whiskey with friends and family, a fittingly elevated finale to a celebration already steeped in beauty and meaning.
