The most perfect day!

We had the most perfect wedding day at The Heritage. Our ceremony and reception was all based in the hotel. We can't thank Louise and Aisling enough for all their help planning the big day! They were so lovely and professional, and they were always there to answer emails and phone calls with any questions we had. Anything we wanted, they did everything they could to make it happen for us. We can't get over how warm and welcoming all of the staff were, they made the day extra special with their exceptional service. The food was delicious and everything ran so smoothly during the meal, thanks to Alan, Joji, Patricia and the whole team. Our guests had use of the private cinema during our reception, which was ideal for watching Royal Ascot and football, a nice touch! The rooms were also AMAZING. We stayed the night before the wedding and the bridal party had the use of the fabulous Emo suite for hair and make up prep! Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better venue. 100% highly recommend The Heritage to any newly engaged couples searching for the perfect spot. Our guests have been very complimentary about The Heritage and the experience they had on our wedding day!

We had so much fun on our wedding day and the reason we did was because we were relaxed as we knew everything was being looked after by Sinead, Sean & The Heritage team so well! We have had so many compliments on the service, food, attention to detail by all the staff during our stay.

Dream come true

Our wedding day was a dream come true and so much of its success goes down to Tinashe, Sinead and all of the staff at the Heritage. We had a big wedding party of 250 people and everything went off without a hitch. The food was out of this world. We cannot praise the hotel high enough. 10/10 from us, Maria and Diarmuid

beyond our wildest imagination

Our wedding at The Heritage was beyond our wildest imagination. I seriously cannot put into words how happy we are and how lucky we feel to have chosen the perfect venue for what was honestly the best day of our lives. When we got engaged in June 2019, we both dreamed about having The Heritage as our wedding venue We arranged to go and see the hotel and I still remember the excitement I felt the first time we walked into what was at the time the newly updated function room. As soon as we stepped
