We really cannot thank you, Megan and all the staff for all you did for us. You 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

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.

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.

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.
