Winter wedding couple review

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

REVIEW – HEADFORT ARMS HOTEL - Irish Wedding Blog

The Headfort Arms has exclusive access to ‘The Red Chapel’ and it is out of this world. A beautiful original chapel from the old convent is offered to couples getting married at The Headfort Arms. It is a non-religious chapel so you can have a civil, humanist or non-legal ceremony there. There’s lovely acoustics for music and plenty of gorgeous light. As you enter, you will see a feature wall using signage from Merchant Brothers Sheriff Street. A really cool backdrop for your photos.

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.

We would like to most sincerely thank you and your whole team for the amazing two days we had at our wedding on the 30th of May. From the moment we booked back in 2019 we knew we had chosen the right venue to celebrate our special day. Any email, query or call we made there was never any issue in this being answered or a solution sought. Even with any changes, updates or little things we wanted to do for our special day they were always accommodated. From the night before when Dermot arrive

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 we

I was booked to perform at a wedding in the Headfort on Friday 22nd and was onsite from 11am until 2am, setting up early for the ceremony and reception. I then performed the evening entertainment and DJ. All of the staff were kind, engaging and supportive. Special thanks to the events coordinator Des who was on hand throughout the day to support myself and guests as needed. I was given the same meal as the wedding guests, and from talking to guests afterwards, they enjoyed the food as much as
