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.

- SSara Kennedy - Irish Wedding Blog19/06/2024REVIEW – HEADFORT ARMS HOTEL - Irish Wedding BlogREVIEW – HEADFORT ARMS HOTEL - Irish Wedding BlogThe 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.The Headfort Arms has exclusive access to ‘The Red Chapel’ and it is out of this world.

- CCarl Malone19/06/2024Supplier Review Supplier ReviewI 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 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.

What is your venue's most unique feature?
Our venue's most unique feature is the Red Chapel, a beautifully renovated convent chapel that now stands as a non-denominational destination for wedding ceremonies. Couples can have their ceremony their way, enjoying the chapel's rich history and serene ambience. Additionally, our Gardens, with the new 2024 addition of a Secret Garden, offer a private and intimate setting for ceremonies, providing a perfect blend of tradition and nature.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
I am most proud of our family-run venue, which allows us to maintain a personal approach in all aspects of our business. This personal touch is evident in our commitment to using locally sourced food, ensuring the highest quality and freshest ingredients for our guests. This combination of family values, personalised service, and dedication to local produce truly sets us apart.
