Learn about our parties

Ever wondered how the name Artea came about?

It’s more than just a business name—it’s a reflection of Helen’s passions, heritage & vision.

The story

At the heart of it, Artea is a blend of two loves: Art 🎨 & Tea 🍵.

Art has always been Helen’s creative outlet—the way she connects, inspires & share stories. For her, it’s not just about making something beautiful, but about creating experiences that bring people together.

Tea, on the other hand, connects to her English heritage 🇬🇧. It’s a ritual of warmth, comfort & community. From sharing a cuppa with family to celebrating milestones, tea has always been part of her story.

When she dreamed up Artea, she wanted a name that captured both of these worlds: the creativity of art + the tradition of tea. Together, they form a space where people can gather, create & celebrate.

Artea isn’t just a name—it’s a philosophy: to slow down, connect, and infuse everyday moments with creativity & joy. 🌿✨

And that’s how Artea was born. A little piece of Helen’s heritage, a whole lot of creativity, and a big dream to share both with the world. 💫

Our gorgeous studio in South Melbourne is the perfect venue for any special occassion!

Let us bring your dream party to life, regardless of your budget - ARTea is here to make it happen! Whether it's a simple venue hire or an elaborately themed Mad Hatter's High Tea extravaganza, we've got you covered.
