- KKathlyn and Niall27/05/2026Our Wedding Day May 2026Our Wedding Day May 2026We recently had our wedding at the Heritage Hotel on May 21st 2026 and our overall experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The hotel itself is beautiful and everything throughout the day was so well organised. The staff were incredible and could not have done more for us and our guests. From the minute we arrived until the very end of the celebrations, the team made us feel completely looked after. A special mention has to go to Joanna and the wedding team who were there for me ( the bride) every step of the way. They made the whole experience feel so calm, settled and stress free, which meant so much on such an important day. They were there to support both myself and my husband right through until the end of the wedding and nothing was ever too much trouble. The food was absolutely fantastic and all of our guests were complimenting it throughout the day. The staff were always helpful, polite and professional, and the rooms were spotless and very comfortable. You could really see how much effort the entire hotel puts into supporting wedding guests and especially the bride and groom. We would highly recommend the Heritage Hotel for weddings and we are so grateful to everyone who helped make our day so special.

- MMary05/05/2026Thank you!Thank you!I was a bridesmaid at a wedding in The Heritage on Friday. We had an absolute ball from start to finish. Most notable, however, was Kasia, she went above and beyond for us all as the bridal party but especially for me and I cannot let her dedication, professionalism and helpfulness go unmentioned. I was stunned how she could perform in the manner whereby everyone had the best time and she could help me at the same time with a smile on her face, relaxed and as cool as a breeze. Never let her go! She is priceless and rare to find such a great employee! Thank you Kasia. I was a bridesmaid at a wedding in The Heritage on Friday. We had an absolute ball from start to finish.

- JJoanne and Thomas29/04/2026Incredible IncredibleWe recently had our wedding at this incredible venue and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, Joanna and Aisling were absolutely amazing. Every time we visited in the lead-up to the big day, they were so welcoming, helpful, and genuinely lovely to deal with. No request was too much — they always did their best to make it happen, and their support made the whole planning process feel so smooth and personal. The day itself was perfect.
