Wedding Testimonials | Headfort Arms Hotel

Wonderful Wedding

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. 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. In a year 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 stages to reassure us and offer alternative ways to make our day special. The hotel looked amazing on the day and really felt personalised to us, we were treated like royalty for the entire time we were there, as were our guests. The food is 5 stars and locally sourced from the Boyne Valley, their passion for quality produce really shows 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 enough how much we, and all our guests, loved our stay, from the beauty of the hotel, to the wonderful staff, that were like family for our stay, to the mouth watering food, the Headfort Arms Hotel 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.

Thank you so much to Joanne, Caroline, Laura and all the staff in the Headfort Arms Hotel for making our Wedding Day so special and perfect. From the moment we looked at it for a venue we knew we would be well looked after by Joanne, she went above and beyond for us and included our little man in everything. The food was magnificent, the service was outstanding and the room beautifully decorated. A lot of our guests hadn’t been to the hotel and are already planning to go back again. Caroline looked after the bedrooms and was so accommodating to our guests and their special requests. The hotel presented us with 2 beautiful engraved champagne crystal glasses also on the day which was s beautiful touch. Any bride and groom looking at the Headfort Arms will not be disappointed, and if you are lucky to have Joanne looking after you, you are safe hands. Thank you again to you all Linda, Maurice & Luke 22:12:18

From the moment we viewed the Headfort Arms Hotel we knew it was the one for us. Laura and Jo were brilliant and such a great help and couldn't do enough for us. From the start, the hospitality that we were shown was amazing from all departments within the hotel. The food on the day of the wedding was delicious and to this day, guests still comment on how beautiful it was. Also, all the little touches that the hotel provides is such a lovely surprise. Any requests that we had was never a problem. They honestly couldn't do enough and everything was so stress-free. We highly recommend this hotel to future bride and grooms who are searching for the perfect venue!!

The experience was amazing. 100% stress-free on our behalf. The hotel organised everything for us. The food was amazing and the service received from all the staff during the wedding but also the support building up to it was amazing. The ceremony was held on the property and was decorated amazingly by the hotel. Fantastic communication with Laura who was our coordinator. Great value and low cost. Definitely recommend.

We had our wedding last year in this hotel and they could not do enough for us. From the time we booked our wedding with Laura she was there for us for any queries till the day of the wedding where she did a great job on the day too. The room was fab, the staff were lovely and the food was lovely too. Our friends are still talking about how nice the food was. They really made the day go so smooth with no problems at all we were able to relax and enjoy it.

Where to start... I went to a wedding fair in the Headfort Arms and new straight away I wanted my wedding reception there. I was amazed by the Ballroom, the fab Garden and the rooms all so beautiful (that bridal suite ❤️) ???? I was lucky to have Jo the hotel Wedding Planner, she helped so much especially that week of the wedding and on the day. I felt like she was a friend. I can't recommend the hotel enough, all the lovely surprises on the day ( which I won't reveal ???? ) most importantly my guests all had good things to say and enjoyed the food. This day 3 weeks ago ???????? ❤️ It was a magical day

We also received this wonderful letter of thanks and praise after hosting a wedding here recently.
