- EEilish & Paul03/07/2024The most perfect day!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.

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.
