Made us feel like we were locals...

Just want to say a massive thank you to you all for your hard work in making our day so perfect. The bar staff were brilliant to us from Wednesday right up until we left. Suzanne is a superstar and a credit to the hotel and Tina as well not to sure if I got her name right but she was brilliant with us as well, Kevin also deserves a massive shoutout as he was the star of the show on your behalf what a man he is… Therese as well made us feel like we were locals and spoke to us all as if she’d known us all our lives it was really comforting and made us all feel right at home there. The kitchen staff all deserve a pint on the house after the food they put out, there wasn’t a bad word said about the food it was perfect, the dessert was out of this world my mouth is watering thinking about it now. The bar staff on the second day were great craic , and the food on the second day was beautiful, just everything was perfect. Massive thank you from the newly weds love Grace & Warren.

A HUGE thank you for making our wedding day just the most perfect day.

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 organization 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. THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU

I would highly recommend the Headfort arms

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 were 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.

Our day from start to finish was truly magical

We could not have picked a better venue to have our wedding. 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. Thanks again for everything we had the best day

From the moment we had the chat about organising our wedding till the wedding day...

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 were top class. Still can’t believe we are nearly 3 months married. We would 100% get married again in the Headfort with the same wedding coordinator and staff we cannot fault any of 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. From the best wedding ever in the Headfort

The best decision we made

“Held our wedding at the Headfort which was one of the best decisions we made was picking this venue. Laura and Edel made every part of the planning process stress free which really helped when we were trying to organise from overseas. We were very lucky to have good weather on the day meaning we had the pleasure of arriving to the garden entrance and honestly the garden was decorated amazingly and offered brilliant facilities, lots of tables and chairs out, toilets, bar so there was no need for anyone to go inside, just sit in the sun and enjoy themselves. It is such a welcoming hotel every member of staff was just so genuinely friendly and helpful. Our guests were really blowing away by the venue especially the gardens, the food and the friendly atmosphere. It’s an absolute credit to the management to have such a fantastic team”.

Amazing wedding venue

Where to start… I went to the wedding fair in the Headfort Arms and straight away I wanted my reception here. I was amazed by the ballroom, the fab Garden and the rooms were all so beautiful (The bridal suit was amazing!) I was lucky to have Jo the hotel wedding planner; she helped me so much especially the week of the wedding and on the wedding 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) and most importantly my guests all had good things to say and enjoyed the food. It was a magical day!
