About Cherished

A luxury group built around unforgettable moments.

Our Story

Built one exceptional brand at a time

Cherished began with a simple conviction: that life's most significant moments — a wedding, a honeymoon, a long-awaited retreat — deserve more care and more craft than the market usually offers. That conviction shaped our first brand, Cherished Wedding Venues, built to bring genuine curation to a category too often crowded with directories and paid listings.

As interest grew beyond weddings, we made a deliberate choice. Rather than stretch a single brand across every occasion, we chose to build a family of specialist brands — each with its own name, its own focus and its own audience, but every one sharing the same standards and the same team behind it. Cherished Retreats followed, dedicated to restorative escapes and private group stays.

That is how Cherished Group came to exist as it does today — not a single website, but a growing collection of purpose-built brands operating under one roof: two live sister sites for weddings and retreats, alongside dedicated Honeymoons, Celebrations, Travel and Experiences sections here on the Cherished Group site.

Our Mission

For the moments you will remember forever

Cherished exists to help people discover, plan and celebrate the moments that matter most. As a group brand, Cherished brings together specialist websites, curated collections and premium experiences across weddings, travel, retreats and celebrations.

Cherished Group is the parent company of Cherished Wedding Venues — our curated collection of luxury UK wedding venues — and Cherished Retreats — our growing portfolio of restorative retreats and private group stays. Honeymoons, Celebrations, Travel and Experiences each have their own dedicated section here on the Cherished Group site, with more brands joining the family over time.

We believe that life's most meaningful occasions — the wedding day, the honeymoon, the milestone birthday, the long-awaited retreat — deserve settings that match their significance. That belief drives everything we do.

What We Stand For

The pillars of Cherished

Luxury

Every brand, venue and experience within the Cherished portfolio meets our exacting standards of quality and sophistication.

Trust

We build relationships founded on transparency, care and genuine expertise in the moments that matter most.

Curation

We are selective by design — choosing only the finest venues, destinations and experiences to carry the Cherished name.

Heart

Behind every journey is a human story. We design around emotion, connection and the memories that last a lifetime.

Consistency

Every brand under the Cherished name is held to the same standards of quality and service — so confidence in one becomes confidence in all.

Ambition

We grow deliberately, not quickly — adding a new brand to the group only when we can meet that moment with genuine care.

The Group

One parent. A family of specialist brands.

Cherished Group sits above the individual brands as the parent company — setting the standards, values and level of service that every Cherished brand is built to deliver, while giving each brand the freedom to become the definitive destination for its own category.

Shared Standards

Every brand that carries the Cherished name is held to the same bar for curation, service and care — set and upheld by the Group.

One Team

A single team of specialists works across the Cherished brands, bringing the same expertise and personal attention to every enquiry.

A Single Home

Partners, venues and press have one place to reach the whole family of brands — Cherished Group is the front door.

Who We Help

Designed for those who value the extraordinary

Cherished is for couples planning their dream wedding, honeymooners seeking romance, friends organising unforgettable celebrations, and families looking for private retreats and escapes.

Our Vision

Building the future of luxury celebration

Cherished is growing. Our vision is to build the most trusted luxury group in the UK for weddings, travel, retreats and celebrations — a family of specialist brands that people turn to for life's most important moments.

As new brands join the group, each will be held to the same commitment to quality and care that defines Cherished Wedding Venues and Cherished Retreats today — so that wherever a Cherished brand welcomes you, you know exactly what that name stands for.

"We don't just help people find places. We help them find the places that will become part of their story."
