Wedding Testimonials | Headfort Arms Hotel

By Gina and Michael 17th August 2023

My husband and I live in America and recently had our wedding at the Headfort Arms Hotel in Kells. My husband is from Kells and we knew it would be extra special to get married there. Living abroad we were anxious about planning a wedding overseas but Edel, Des & Caroline all were extremely helpful and accommodating throughout the 13-month planning process. We opted for the day after BBQ and we are so glad that we did. The food and atmosphere was amazing! We lucked out with the weather on our wedding day but rain or shine the Headfort knows how to throw a party! We can't wait to attend future weddings at the Headfort as well as go back for vacation stays!

WOW, where do we even begin… We will be forever grateful for the day & night that you put on for our wedding. From start to finish we could not find a fault only enhancements. From our first correspondences and meetings to the day itself you have been so good to us and kept us reassured that nothing would be a problem and yes, on this you over delivered. The set up of the room and Megan you were so right about the arch. It was perfect, which I think helped provide the perfect ceremony. From this to the garden, the man above played his role and gave us great weather but that aside the garden set up for the drink’s reception was perfect. Our guests were enjoying it so much I don’t think that they wanted to come in from it. The canopies were excellent and plentiful & many guest commented on this by saying “they were out of this world”

Everyone is still talking and raving about the food and the manner in which you managed to serve every single meal hot and perfect to such a large crowd was a credit to your service staff. Thank you so much for looking after Tom in his room, I think he hasn’t eaten since, as he got so much. Thank you for the special treat of bringing the children to get an ice cream, they were delighted. It is all of these little extras you do that we don’t want to go unnoticed. And of course, the famous Headfort Arms seconds, it was a big talking point on Sunday and Theresa was there to keep an eye on everything. I’m sorry Olivia but so many thought she was the real boss including myself the night before when I said “Hello Mrs Duff” which she corrected me on!!

We hope everyone behaved themselves and were respectful to your staff. They are all excellent and we would really like to acknowledge this. They were kept busy, especially the bar staff. I know we went a bit over on the wine and thank you for being so generous to us on this. Our band have said that in all the venues they play they have never ever experienced such hospitality and helpfulness from staff and they have asked us to pass on their gratitude. We hope that our guests now do their bit and pay it forward by bringing return business to your fabulous hotel. I know of one who had already booked in for later in the year before leaving. Also thank you for your lovely gesture today when we popped in for lunch & to Caroline & Sharon for the lovely chat. To each and every one of you and your staff we thank you once again and the Headfort Arms Hotel will always be a special place for us. Many many thanks again to you all.

The Headfort Arms was the perfect venue for our wedding, there is a constant buzz around the hotel and having use of the magnificent garden really made our day. As a family run hotel it offered something different and it definitely made us feel special for our day. The food across our whole stay was magnificent. Whether it was breakfast , lunch or dinner the standard of food was exemplary, the food for our wedding was magnificent with every guest complimenting us on how amazing it was. This day wouldn’t have happened without both Edel and Megan, we have been dealing with the Headfort Arms over the last four years and along every step of the way the support has been magnificent. A special mention goes to Megan who was unbelievable on the day, everything was thought of and it gave us the space to enjoy our day, I would suggest any couple looking to get married to visit the Headfort and ask to speak with Megan , her enthusiasm is infectious and will make you look forward to your day even more.

We really cannot thank you, Megan and all the staff for all you did for us. Yous truly blew us away and helped us to have the best day, way above our expectations. Megan was so on the ball and had us feel so at ease from the very first day we met with her. We knew we were in good hands. The Headfort Arms really has a fantastic team. We might have to renew our vows in your capable hands in a few years :) Thanks again for all you help.

Firstly we would like to thank you and all the staff at the Headfort Arms for making our wedding celebration so special, From the moment we entered the hotel we were all made very welcome to an amazing atmosphere. Megan our wedding coordinator was phenomenal from start to finish, we booked our wedding in July 2022 for New Year’s Eve 2022 and Megan couldn’t have done enough for us within those 5 months off planning. The food was beautiful, everybody was complimenting it from start to finish. We couldn’t recommend the Headfort highly enough. Thank you Megan for all you have done for us.

Just wanted to send a quick email just to say a massive massive thank you from myself and Andy. Our day was beyond perfect all thanks to you. We literally had the best day of our lives. Andy kept saying "what a day" all day 🤣🤣 it was perfect. Thank you so much for your help. It would have been nothing without you. Nearly 2 weeks married now, how quickly does time fly? Truly was such a perfect beautiful amazing day. You couldn't have done any more for us. Even my bestie was in awe with her little mocktail after the ceremony. Again I don't think I could thank you anymore. The most perfect setting, the place looked incredible, with super chilled vibes. Exactly the way we wanted. Hope you have a super day & thank you so much. From The Martins

Dear Megan, Olivia and Vincent,

We can't put into words how grateful we are to you and all the staff at the hotel for making our day so special. From day one when we first met Megan to the time we left the hotel, the warmth and kindness of every one were extraordinary. Literally, nothing was too much trouble. Our guests, most of who had never been to the Headfort Arms Hotel, couldn't praise the venue and staff enough. Please take a bow. We are absolutely delighted we chose your hotel as the venue, and the memories of our wedding day there will last forever. Thank you again Megan for everything you have done for us.

by Anna & Dwayne 12th of August 2022

Hey Megan. Myself & Dwayne would like to thank you for everything you have done for us on the build up to our big day. We also want to thank you for Friday, you where absolutely amazing, we did not have to worry about one thing all day. Your attention to detail is unbelievable and much appreciated. Thank you to your staff for looking after us all so well, and in particular to one girl who took my grand nephew for a walk in the gardens when his mammy enjoyed her dinner (I never got her name). Everything was amazing. Wish we could do it all over again this Friday 🤣. Thanks again Megan.

I cannot thank the staff of the Headfort enough. From start to finish you were all amazing!! When we booked our wedding back in 2019 we were being looked after by Jo. We had booked our wedding for August 2021 then covid hit and we decided to put it off for the year. Jo and the team done everything they could to make all the changes easy and nothing was too much for them. When Jo left Megan took over as our wedding planner and she was outstanding. Any time I needed something she was there to help. Our band cancelled on us and Edel and Megan done everything they could to get a new band (which were AMAZING). Everyone at the wedding was so well looked after and the food was excellent. I honestly couldn’t recommend the hotel enough from start to finish they were so helpful and welcoming and everything was perfect. So from me and Scott thank you all so much. Thank you so much again Megan for everything you done for us we really appreciated it.

Just wanted to say Thank you to you and your Staff ❤ Where do I even start, we booked our wedding in the Headfort arms in January 2019 and from the minute we booked it, the help and support from all the staff has been amazing. 4 date changes due to covid and not 1 bad word from the hotel about any of it, only help and support through it all.

We managed to finally get married on our 4th date and you made our day so special beyond what any words can describe. Thank you so so much Megan for all your help in making our wedding day the most magical day of our lives. 5 star treatment all the way through ❤ Thank you so much again Megan you were so amazing.

From the early days of planning our wedding, it was clear that the Headfort team was in a league of its own - they took such great care of us to ensure the process was as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Not an easy feat considering we were planning abroad during covid. Our amazing Wedding Coordinator, Megan, went above and beyond to ensure every detail was in order when the big day arrived. The venue looked spectacular, and the entire Headfort team was nothing but class. We can't begin to thank the Headfort team enough for making our special day so memorable and perfect!

Good Afternoon Megan, Hope your doing well and that any wedding you have in planning will go as successfully as ours did. Andrea and I would just like to thank you for our amazing day at the Headfort, we couldn't ask for more. From the informal catch ups and meetings during the build-up that really eased our minds to the professional and affable way that the day was handled, we can't thank you enough Megan!

As flawless as the planning and execution was and as stunning the venue and food, the asset that our guests complimented most was the staff. Every single one. They seemed to effortlessly cater for all needs with an easy charm and Craic. True Irish hospitality at its best!!

You guys are amazing! Our Sincerest Thank you,

A HUGE thank you for making our wedding day just the most perfect day. Never in our wildest dreams could we have imagined just how wonderful it was. I don’t know where to start with our thanks really as we are completely blown away. Our guests cannot stop saying how perfect the venue was too. The Food was amazing. The organisation and communication were fantastic from day one, I knew after the first date change and how easily and swiftly that was sorted that we were in really safe hands with you. The kindness you showed when we had last minute changes was so appreciated. Thank you so much for opening up your space to us and our guests, it’s absolutely stunning and I hope we didn’t disturb you at any point….there was some crazy dance moves and silly stuff. I could write pages and pages about how absolutely brilliant you are there but we will be eternally grateful to you for making our day perfect, we will be talking about it for a long time to come.

Thank you, Megan and all your staff for making our Day truly Special.

Myself and Paul would like to say a massive thank you to all the staff at the Headfort Arms Hotel for making our wedding day so special. We had our wedding ceremony and reception on the 6^th May in the hotel. The wedding coordinators Megan and Edel were both absolutely amazing and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Both regularly checked in with me to ensure everything was running smoothly and according to plan. Between the two of them, they organised everything for us so it was completely stress-free. I had trouble trying to find a make-up artist and hairdresser as I didn't have a bridal party. Megan arranged this for me and also for both of them to come to the hotel on the day of the wedding. She was also amazing on the day of the wedding too and nothing was too much trouble for her. She sent me a lovely text message on the morning of the ceremony and she also calmed my nerves which set in just before the ceremony. She is extremely professional and has a lovely bubbly personality. She was on hand from early on in the day to very late that evening. I was shocked to see her in early again the next morning and helping to serve breakfast. You can clearly see how hard she works and she is an absolute credit to the hotel. The hotel are extremely lucky to have her and all the other amazing staff. We couldn't fault any of them.

The ceremony was also held in the hotel and the room was so beautifully decorated. We had hoped to have our wedding ceremony and reception in the beautiful gardens of the hotel but unfortunately, the weather let us down. The effort that went into making the room so perfect made up for the disappointment of the typical unpredictable Irish weather! We also managed to get a few professional photographs taken in the lovely gardens in between the rain.

The service and food were just outstanding. I had been told that it was a great hotel for a wedding venue and the food was fabulous which I can definitely vouch for. I am originally a local but have been living in Dublin for the past number of years and had never been to a wedding in the hotel. Our guests are still talking about how good the food was. The team that waited on us during the meal were fantastic and they all had a smile on their face throughout the whole service. From reception, porters, chefs, waiters, bar staff and cleaners all just do an outstanding job. I would like to thank Suzanne, Caroline and Nathalie who work in reception for their friendliness, and kindness and just being an absolute joy and pleasure to deal with. They also had a smile on their face every time I saw them and couldn't do enough for you.

If you are searching for a venue for your special day I honestly can't recommend the Headfort Arms highly enough. All our guests loved their stay in the hotel and some of our family stayed a second night in the hotel with both of us. Everyone said their rooms were lovely and we loved the bridal suite. We relaxed in the Keltic bar that afternoon and later that evening moved to the hotel lounge where Caroline had reserved a large area for us. We all had a great 2^nd night in the hotel. We all eat in the Keltic bar and again the food was excellent. The entertainment they had in the lounge was brilliant and they had everyone up on the dance floor. A band had also just started in the Keltic bar which also sounded very good. They definitely provide great entertainment at the weekend if you are thinking of making 2 days out of it. We will definitely go back to the hotel to enjoy the delicious food and entertainment they provide at weekends.

We had our wedding on the 8th of April 2022 and had our reception at The Headfort Arms Hotel. Being a local couple, we had attended numerous events and weddings in The Headfort Arms so we already knew the quality of service they provided so for us it was a no brainer to celebrate our big day with them. From the beginning, they were a pleasure to deal with. Our original date was in July 2020 and due to Covid we had to postpone twice and both times the girls were so helpful in arranging our new dates. Our wedding coordinator was Megan, who was so helpful and professional at all times.As our date got closer, some issues arose and nothing was a problem for Megan, she came up with different ideas to still make our day as special as possible. When we arrived at The Headfort on the day of our wedding both Olivia and Megan were there to greet us and we were made feel so special. We had our photos taken in the beautiful Headfort garden and the Kenlis suite looked amazing. The food was excellent, as always, and the staff on the day were so friendly and helpful. If it's quality food and service you are looking for, at a beautifully decorated venue with a homely feel, we highly recommend The Headfort Arms Hotel.

Thank you so much again for all your help Megan, we had the best day!

The Headfort Arms Hotel was a no brainer as our wedding venue as it was our meet up point on a blind date when we first met!

Olivia and her team are an absolute force! They worked hard to create our vision and even for last minute changes, took care of everything for us!!! They made everything look so beautiful by candle light, what a gem of a venue with such glorious gardens. We want to say a huge thank you to Olivia and Megan for making us feel so important on our wedding day and giving us our dream wedding ❤️

We got married here on the 30th December 2021 and the staff where all absolutely amazing. Edel was brilliant, even though she was off during this time, she checked in with me regularly to ensure everything was ok and helped me along during all my planning stages. Then there was our wedding planner Megan! Megan was my side kick and helped me with everything from start to finish, she was just incredible and went above and beyond for us.

Getting married during covid was not easy, first we had to cut our numbers a few days before and then we had a lot of people that couldn’t attend our big day including some of our suppliers. When we came out of our ceremony we where told our band had also just cancelled on us but before we even had time to panic Megan and the team had already organised another band which were absolutely amazing!!

I cannot thank Megan enough for all she did for us, everything we needed or wanted was never a problem. She is a credit to the Headfort.

The staff where so helpful and so friendly not just to us but to all of our guests on the day aswell.

I would highly recommend the headfort arms and thank you so much to Megan and all the team for making our day so special.

Myself and Dave would like to thank you and all the team at the Headfort Arms Hotel for the most amazing weekend we had celebrating our wedding with you.

We couldn't of asked more of the amazing staff who made the day amazingly seamless. The service, food and staff were impeccable and everyone was always happy to help with anything throughout our whole stay.

From the beginning of the planning process all the way through to the end of the day, Gemma, you have been an absolute star helping guide me and always answering my queries! I can not sing your praises enough.

We also want to thank Olivia, Vincent, Natalie, Megan, Ger and all the staff who were involved in the wedding and our stay. All of you really made it magical with your efficiency and positivity.

We are so extremely happy we chose the Headfort Arms for our wedding. The ceremony room was beautiful, every detail was taken care of, beautiful chiavari chairs, a stunning flower arch and wonderful ambience.

The gardens are beautiful for our photos, and the conservatory was just as stunning as the sun set and photos moved indoors.

Dinner was absolutely delicious, hats off to all the chefs!

The Headfort Arms Hotel offered us the cosy and intimate atmosphere we were looking for, and all the staff really make you feel like you are the most important guest in the world. You really do get a personal touch, and it makes it so special.

Thank you so much, start to finish the entire wedding experience was amazing.

We're only over our wedding day (major post wedding blues) The Headfort went above and beyond for us and our guests ❤ The food was divine & the staff made sure our guests had full bellies & didn't want for anything! I couldn't find one fault honestly, we've had a few people look after us from the start & they couldn't do enough to help us with anything we needed. Everything from the venue, to the food, to the staff in every area 👏🏼👏🏼 Guys, great job we had the BEST day & couldn't have had it in a better spot! It was made so special for us. Thanks again so much, and especially to Gemma, for not handing in her notice because of my 20 emails per day 😂 & delivering her promise that they would have everything perfect & the way i wanted it on the day ❤

What can I say about our Wedding. Well, it was fourth time lucky for us (not). I have always wanted to get married in the Headfort from my days working there. I've had the privilege of bringing in brides and grooms to their reception and have always wanted to experience that in the Headfort.

Coming up to our date Megan got in touch with myself to introduce herself and we arranged to call in and discuss all details. From the moment we met I knew our wedding was in safe hands. Nothing was too much trouble for Megan. She put me at ease straight away and blew me away with her attention to detail.

On our big day I got the most beautiful message off Megan that morning which touched me as It was so personal. Again, Megan attention to detail was clear to see everywhere in the room on the day. Everything was beautiful. She made the ballroom that is already beautiful into something from our dreams.

Megan was on hand throughout our day. Nothing was a problem to her. She made my family and Kevin's family feel very welcomed. The food couldn't have been nicer and the service was exceptional.

Staff were very friendly.

We also had our second day in the Keltic and again Megan was on hand to look after us.

So our day from start to finish was amazing and everyone is still talking about the food, the service, Megan and all the staff for making our day amazing.

I would highly recommend the Headfort Arms to any bride and groom looking for somewhere special for their special day.

Thank you to all the staff and management for making our day just Perfect.

From the moment we arrived , we were so well looked after.

Gemma was our wedding co Ordinator and was so helpful in the run up to the wedding , with all the changes with restrictions and guests' numbers , she was so helpful and made the whole process stress free with her support.

The actual wedding day was perfect Gemma and the rest of the staff were on call all day to help us out from delivering champagne to calming our nerves! The set up was wonderful, the food was amazing and it all went down very well with all our guests.

I would highly recommend the headfort arms for weddings . They really facilitated and gave us our dream wedding in such difficult times.

It should be noted that people are still talking about the wedding from Canada to Spain to the UK and everywhere – Everytime I speak to our familes your name is mentioned along with all the team at your hotel! To be honest I would highly recommend the Headfort Arms Hotel for any function and I have given nothing but outstanding reviews to all my work colleagues and every person I deal with.

But in the meantime Gemma, we would like to sincerely thank you for everything you have done. A lot of planning, coordination and work goes into making sure all is in order on your side and to be honest you were absolutely brilliant. Your knowledge, experience and the ability to do alot of things at once is something that you should be really proud of. How you can think of every little detail and your ability to put everyone at ease is quite remarkable – A worry-free wedding. You are extremely talented at what you do and to be quite honest the positive vibes and energy only enhanced the whole experience so from me personally I would like to sincerely thank you.

Everyone was brilliant. We would like to thank the whole team for making this day possible:

Gemma, keep the magic happening and all those positive vibes as you have nothing but a top class establishment.

Thank you all for creating such a great memory and for doing things right and please, please extend our sincerest thanks, appreciation and gratitude to all of the team at the Hotel from the front desk, to the chefs, cleaners, bar staff, gardeners, waiting staff and all those that are involved in creating such a top class guest experience unmatched in this country.

Well done and thank you,

Both myself and Kenneth want to say how amazing you are at your job. From the moment we had the chat about organising our wedding till the wedding day. You put your heart and soul into making sure our day was amazing and you passed with flying colours, and Natalie on reception making sure all our guests had a room she is also amazing. The ceremony set up of the wedding was absolutely fantastic, service from the waitress and bar staff where top class. Still can’t believe we are nearly 3 months married. We would 100 percent get married again in the headfort with the same wedding co ordinater and staff we cannot fault any off it.

Megan you are such a credit to the headfort team and we defiantly will call in for lunch to have the chats with you, because of you we had the best wedding ever.

Myself and my husband had our wedding reception in the Headfort Arms on 27^th August. We had originally been meant to get married there the previous year but due to restrictions, we had to push it out three times. As any bride will know, postponing your wedding is done with a heavy heart and beyond stressful trying to move suppliers etc but Edel in the Headfort Arms made transitioning to new dates seamless for us and went above and beyond to accommodate us. Edel was going on maternity leave close to our date so she touched base with us beforehand and ensured us we would be well looked after in her absence which we were. The amazing Megan took over and from the moment we met her, we knew we could relax in the run up to the big day as she was so tuned into our plans for the day and knew what our vision was. She made the planning so enjoyable for us and nothing was too big of an ask. We could feel her genuine excitement to be a part of our day also which made it even more special. The day itself was perfect from start to finish. Luckily we got amazing weather, the garden was dressed beautifully, the prosecco was flowing and the canapes went down a treat. The atmosphere was electric and the team couldn’t do enough for us. The venue itself is truly beautiful and the gardens are out of this world. Moving onto the dinner, our guests were raving about the food and couldn’t believe the taste and quality as were expecting the usual wedding food which can be basic at best. On the day itself Megan was by our sides anything we needed but never intrusive. She went above and beyond and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. It was the little details like a text message on the morning of the wedding (and from Edel too while off on maternity leave, just so nice). The level of care that you just don’t expect these days and I was so emotional in a good way because of this. We had a two day celebration and had a BBQ with a DJ on the second day and again Megan and all the staff at the adjoining Keltic bar went above and beyond for us. The food was beautiful and our guests were raving about this too. The whole weekend had such a personable feel to it, all of the staff treated us and our guests like family and it didn’t go unnoticed. The hotel itself is beautiful and oozing with atmosphere. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great wedding venue. The attention and level of care is amazing and you won’t regret it. Myself and my husband are already looking forward to visiting on our first anniversary.

Megan and her team were just amazing, they made the whole process of planning a wedding so simple and enjoyable and went above and beyond for us, they had the garden where we had our ceremony and the function room looking absolutely stunning their attention to detail was truly amazing. We had a small family wedding of 25 people but the atmosphere and the fun we had made it feel as if there were hundreds there. The food was outstanding and the drinks were flowing for the night, everybody was so relaxed and so well looked after. I cannot recommend the headfort enough. Thank you so much for making our day just perfect x

Where to start! The day was magical from start to finish. From the first time we stepped into the hotel for the wedding fair, we were made to feel so welcome and wanted, like one of the family.

The family feel and personal touch is truly felt at the Headfort Arms and does not disappear, even after the wedding is over. We got the pleasure of experiencing two wedding coordinators, as with Covid restrictions we had a small wedding and then a bigger celebration on our 1st anniversary and both were a pleasure to work with. Edel is like a fairy godmother who looks after everything effortlessly, nothing is too big or too small, her attention to detail makes you truly feel at ease. Megan is so genuinely happy and excited for you as a couple to have the best day of your life, she puts all that passion into creating a lovely feeling for the day. Both coordinators pulled out all the stops to make the day perfect for us and looked after all our needs on a personal basis, they cater your package so it is uniquely yours and are like a friend throughout the process.

In a time that was harder than most, with new challenges every week, the entire staff, including the Duff family themselves, kept us up to date through all the stages to reassure us and offer alternative ways to make our day special.

The hotel looked amazing on both occasions and really felt personalized to us, we were treated like royalty for the entire time we were there, as were our guests. The food is 5 star and all locally sourced from the Boyne Valley, their passion for quality produce really shines through in their food, which was outstanding for all dietary requirements, including vegetarian and vegan. There were lovely surprises throughout the day from the hotel, that show how much they value every guest, you are not just one of many.

I honestly cannot express how much we, and all our guests, loved our stay, we loved it so much we did it twice! From the beauty of the hotel, to the wonderful staff that were like family for our stays, the Headfort Arms is above and beyond it's 4 stars!

On behalf of my new husband and myself, I could not praise this hotel or the staff anymore! We were treated like royalty the whole weekend and all of our guests were catered to so well. All of the staff members went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day ran smoothly. The food was phenomenal and everyone was raving about it. I have to make a special mention to our wedding coordinator Jo. She was always available to us when we had questions and the day could not have gone so smoothly if she was not in the background keeping it all moving. I would recommend this hotel to any couple trying to pick a wedding venue or anyone looking for a relaxed weekend away. Thanks so much to the whole team, we had the best weekend of our lives.

2 days after having our wedding in the Headfort and I am still blown away by the fantastic day put on for us by the hotel. I cannot recommend it enough. The food is superb and the building is class but it really is the staff that make it, they are a credit! Thank you so much! From Mr and Mrs Cooney!

Myself and my husband got married in the Headfort Arms Hotel on 14 Sep19. From the day we met Joanne and the team we knew we were in good hands. The hotel, rooms and gardens are stunning and when we saw the setup for our day we were blown away. The food tasting was one of the highlights on the run-up to the wedding, everything was delicious and made it difficult to choose as they were all so good. Compliments to the chef! I had my make up done in the Hotel's own "Spa Rooms" I was delighted with how the girls did my make up they were a pleasure to work with and were great at helping with calming the nerves. Joanne and the team were an absolute pleasure to work with, they all made the day run so smoothly and their attention to detail is outstanding. The team went above and beyond for us from running cables to have a sporting event shown to the guests during the reception and conjuring up a buttonhole for a surprise member of the wedding party at the last minute. The reception team were so accommodating and took great care of all our guests. The bar staff and porters were also brilliant, there was no waiting around and they were so pleasant to all of our guests. The team that waited on us during dinner were excellent, everybody had a smile on their face and no request was too much for them. We were lucky enough to have our ceremony in the garden, all our guests commented that it was the most beautiful ceremony and setting that they ever had been to. We were presented with two beautiful engraved crystal champagne glasses after our ceremony while the amazing bar staff and waiting staff took excellent care of us all during the outdoor drinks reception. The dinner was amazing, all of our guests complimented the food and also the food that was put on for us the following day. The rest of our evening was unforgettable, we couldn't recommend the Headfort Arms hotel enough for any bride and groom looking to enjoy a stress-free day in beautiful surroundings being looked after by such amazing people. Thank you to all of the staff at the Headfort Arms and especially to Joanne for making us feel so welcome and for giving us a day we will never forget.

We had our wedding here in August and it was everything we dreamed it could be. The first time we met Joanne from the Headfort she put us at ease. Joanne is a lady and could not do enough for us. She kept in contact up to the wedding. on the day of the wedding, she was fantastic and all of the staff was amazing and thoughtful and could not do enough. we had an outdoor ceremony in the beautiful gardens of the hotel. All the guests raved about the food and the friendliest of the staff. Thank you so much, Joanne and staff, for an amazing day.

Where do I begin... well my husband and I travelled from London and got married in my granny’s church in Cavan and had our wedding reception in the Headfort Arms Hotel and what a weekend it was! We could not fault a single thing. Not only did the staff make us feel at ease, but they treated us like family. I cannot put into words how much respect we have for Olivia, Joanne, Edel and Caroline. As a team, they make everything perfect. Our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and they thought the location was absolutely spot on. We count the lucky stars we had Olivia and Joanne look after us! I am so gutted it is all over and wish I could turn back time and do it all again! The Headfort Arms will forever hold a special place in our hearts and no doubt we will be back every year to reminisce! Thank you all so much for making our day the best day ever.

We choose the Headfort Arms Kells to have our Ceremony and Reception, we could not have been happier with our day. The staff were so friendly and nothing was to much trouble for them. The room was decorated beautifully, the food was excellent. The whole day ran so seamlessly, special thanks to Joanne. We would highly recommend anyone to have their wedding day here or any special occasion. Thanks again to all at the Headfort.
