Celebrating generations, the Headfort in Kells offers the perfect place for celebrating all of life’s milestones but in particular a wedding.
So many from around the county of Meath, further afar and across the waters have fond memories of wedding days (& nights) at the Headfort. The Duff Family celebrate over 50 years at the helm of this landmark hotel that has hosted special days for couples for generations but never stops moving with the times when it comes to a wedding.
Situated in the Georgian district of Heritage Town Kells, less than an hour from Dublin, the family run hotel offers an authentically Irish four star base for guests to enjoy a great stay for any celebration but new additions, outdoor spaces and the latest inclusion of the stunning ‘Red Chapel’ and the ‘Secret Garden’ make for a very special venue.
The Red Chapel, once known as the ‘Nuns Chapel’ in the adjacent convent buildings, now offers a wonderful base for any type of civil ceremony in majestic surroundings. If you are looking for the ultimate ‘insta grammable’ images of your day… this is the venue for you! Raw beautiful stone and brick, wonderful arches and a perfectly south facing courtyard, it is a gem of a venue that surprises everyone who visits.
If staying on-site is your wish, this year saw the latest addition of the ‘Secret Garden’, which was launched as a beautiful outdoor ceremony space.
Hosting a 200 year old eucalyptus tree, some of the old town walls and lots of lovely trees draped in festoon lighting, this is the ultimate outdoor venue that is yours for the day.
Couples will always be assured of only ever one wedding a day at the Headfort. Booking your wedding at the Headfort means exclusivity of your own garden entrance, outdoor garden spaces and self contained Georgian Kenlis Suite with lots of natural light.
Guests will never be short of facilities during their stay with an all day offering from Café Therese, Award Winning Dining at the Vanilla Pod, Cocktails, Craft Beer & Casual food at the Kelltic Bar, Open log fires in the Headfort Lounge.
