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,

We celebrated our wedding in the Heritage on 28th December 2022. We visited a lot of other venues and spoke to a number of coordinators before making our final decision and we never regretted our choice. From the very moment we discussed the packages, we were very impressed with the professionalism shown by our coordinators who were very friendly and accommodating with any little requests on our part. As our wedding reception was in Wintertime, we were mindful of choosing local suppliers and Portlaoise and the surrounding area is blessed with talented photographers, videographers, musicians and cake designers, who all had easy working relationships with the Heritage. Ahead of our wedding date, we completed our wonderful meal tastings and the Heritage were very attentive to our guests dietary requirements and non-alcoholic wine choices. At the pre- Wedding meeting with our coordinator, we received a full step-by-step account of the day?s timeline and thankfully for us, we had finally agreed our entrance music when asked for! The Heritage reception area was decorated very tastefully and we complimented it ourselves with small photographs and guestbook. All our guest needs were catered for here and the canap?s, food, prosecco, beer was plentiful to treat our guests ahead of the main meal. We were especially blessed to have a Heritage wedding team with such knowledge that made our ballroom stand out as one of the most elegantly, decorated ballrooms in the country. We were delighted to see all our guests so relaxed to enjoy themselves and dance the night away and early into the next morning. The Heritage team were always thinking of our wedding day experience at all times and how best they could make our day more special than we could plan it ourselves.

The Heritage were absolutely amazing from the moment we booked with them. The wedding co-ordinaries were amazing. Gael, Tinashe and the team were amazing. Nothing was too small or too big of a question for them. They were always available on email to answer any questions. About a month before the wedding we met Gail for a run through of the hotel. She was fantastic. She went through everything from start to finish with us. She even helped us through things we hadn?t even considered. She was amazing.
We arrived down to the hotel the night before. From the minute we stepped foot into the hotel we were greeted by the amazing staff. We literally could leave our brains at the door. The general manager Paul was absolutely astounding. He helped us with all of our bags and made us feel so welcome.
Every staff member from front of house, the bar and service were amazing. They were all so friendly and helpful. They really helped make it such a special environment for us. We couldn?t have asked for a better team.
On the day we were looked after so well by Paul, Alan and Majella. They made sure we had everything at hand. The hospitality was amazing. We couldn?t have picked a better venue or asked for better service.
Which was commented not only by us but all of our guests. The food was astounding. Every course was just as good as the tasting menu.
I would highly recommend the heritage to anybody that is looking for a wedding venue. The team go above and beyond. They really help make the day feel so special for you and bring such an energetic atmosphere to the hotel.

Our wedding took place in The Heritage on June 22nd 2023. We had the most incredible, surreal day and a lot of that was down to our choice of venue. Sinead, Gael, Ray, John, J.P. and the rest of the staff could not do enough for us and were fabulous to deal with from our first meeting with them. The bridal party stayed the night before the wedding and got ready that morning in the Ban Ki Moon bridal suite!! The luxury! The bridal suite was stunning, so spacious and made the perfect background for our wedding pictures. Our breakfast was sent up to the room as we got ready. We couldn't have asked for a more peaceful and relaxing wedding morning.
Our reception was so well executed and the timing between courses was perfect. The food that came out was absolutely delicious, a fact that was acknowledged by many of our guests.
We honestly couldn't be happier with our day and we are immensely grateful to the fantastic staff at the Heritage.

I honestly do not know the right words to describe how incredible this company is. Clodagh came all the way from west Cork to Laois to mind my brother and sister for my fathers wedding. Thomas and Rhea have autism and are non verbal and clodagh slotted right in like she knew them all her life. Clodagh is worth her weight in gold she was fantastic. If you?re thinking of getting these girls to mind your kids don?t give it a second thought call them right now. Cannot recommend this company enough. ??

We had our wedding here in April and The Heritage were amazing from start to finish. Our journey began with Sinead as our wedding coordinator and Tinashe took over a few months out. Both ladies were incredible, super responsive and so helpful with every inquiry I had. We created a custom package with Sinead to suit our needs/wants which was amazing. The day went so perfectly, every single moment was flawless, one hiccup with a guests room was sorted excellently by Gavin, our banquet manager who was simply ourstanding, he looked after our every need on the day. Honestly the most perfect day of our lives. All our guests raved about the food, staff and venue (and still do to this day!) I would highly recommend the Heritage to everyone.

The service on the day of the wedding was amazing. Nothing was a problem and everyone was treated really well. Beforehand, it was sometimes difficult to contact the hotel by phone. Phone calls were often not answered and messages not replied to. The food on the day was superb. The price of the rooms for guests was quite disappointing, we didn't expect it to be so high.

We had our beautiful wedding in The Heritage last August after postponing from March. After our initial first visit & viewing we fell in love with the hotel & booked our date in straight away! (The bridal suite is just amazing!) Unfortunately due to covid restrictions we had to postpone but Kim & Gosia, were so accommodating, they made the the whole rescheduling process so easy for us! The hotel were very easy to communicate with & answered any queries we had. We got to do our menu tasting over the summer & were spoilt rotten! Then eventually we had the most fabulous wedding day celebration. All of our guests were wowed by stunning the hotel from the stairs to the ballroom & even 3 months later friends are still raving about the meal being top class!! One of my favourite things about the hotel overall is the staff were all so warm & friendly to everyone. The service is exceptional! Our guests had the best day & we never felt like the fun/party was compromised due to covid. I would have no problem in recommending The Heritage to anyone looking to get married there in the future!

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 into the room all aglow with stunning candelabras and elegant cherry blossoms dotted throughout - I remember thinking that this had to be the place we would get married. When we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid-19, the team at The Heritage could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The support and understanding provided by the team really meant the world to us and was greatly appreciated.

Over the past two years we made several trips to the Heritage to meet Ger, Kim & Gosia to plan our perfect day. On each occasion, we were made to feel so special and were thoroughly impressed by the amazing service and friendly atmosphere.

On the day of our wedding on 17th July 2021, we pulled up to The Heritage with the sun shining down and we were greeted so warmly by Ger, Gosia, Liam and the team. From that moment the whole wedding reception went perfectly and we truly had the best day. Each and every one of our guests loved The Heritage as much as we do. The combination of the elegance of the hotel and the excellence of the staff really make The Heritage one of the most special venues in Ireland. Ger and the staff helped to make our wedding so special - thank you all so much.

We will never forget our wedding and how you all played an important part in making it unforgettable. The food was incredible; the rooms are amazing; the grounds and golf course are impeccable. I really don't know where to stop with listing all of the great things about The Heritage!

Thank you for making our wedding dreams come true!

The Heritage and their wedding team were excellent in everyway and made our day so special. We had to cancel 3 seperate times and each time they were so accomodating and reassuring. They send us out a lovely gift during the year to let us know they were thinking of us and how hard is was on us and other wedding couples. We could not recommend them enough for any future couples looking for a venue. We can't wait to go back to stay there again!

After two failed attempts to have our wedding overseas in 2020, we decided to go ahead with it at home. From our first point of contact in August to our wedding day less than 3 months later, Kim and all of the staff at The Heritage Hotel were a dream to deal with. We knew we were in capable and experienced hands straight away. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was done to make our day as perfect and special as possible. The attention to detail at The Heritage Hotel sets it apart from other hotels in the midlands. The function room and tables were beautifully decorated. The meal was delicious and food was plentiful. We met Sarah from the food and beverage team the night of our menu tasting and she served the top table for the wedding banquet. A special word of thanks to Sarah as she was amazing on both nights and was so warm and friendly. We would highly recommend The Heritage Hotel to all couples planning their big day.

A number of the guests commented on how good the staff were and that it really felt like a 5 star experience. It was great to talk to the chef at the wedding tasting and the food on the day was fabulous. Guests are still talking about the doughnuts at the drinks reception! The room was decorated really well and they set it up even better than I had imagined. The stairs were great for photographs and the guests could still mingle with everyone as the photographs were being taken.

Massive thanks to the Heritage Killenard where we had our wedding reception on 5th May 2018. We had the most unforgettable experience at the Heritage Killenard. Being a Heritage Bride and Groom is not just a one day experience, you are made to feel like royalty the whole way through the wedding planning process. Aside from the beautiful location, stunning modern hotel with breathtaking staircase and pure five star elegence, the staff and service at the Heritage Killenard are what makes this hotel so unforgettable. We would like to say a special thank you to David Hannify our wedding coordinator who was so easy to deal with. David was so straightforward and prompt at responding to emails and was always at hand for our numerous queries! David organised dining and spa etc for the days after our wedding, it was fantastic having a point of contact to organise not only the wedding day details but also our whole stay with the hotel. Special thanks also to the Head Chef Ian Clifford and his team. Choosing our menu was a very special evening, where we got an opportunity to sit with the Head Chef and discuss the menu and any changes. Ian was a true professional and magnificent to deal with. He offered his suggestions and opinions and gave us so much time and we really enjoyed going through the menu with him. We would like to say a special thanks to John Kelly, who truly made the wedding dining experience an experience to remember. He ensured everything ran smoothly during the evening and added a touch of class with the white gloves and coordinating the top table food service to be served all at the same time in unison. John coordinated the speeches and introduced us into the ballroom and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Thanks also to Joijo our personal server for the wedding reception who also treated us like royalty for the night! We want to thank all the staff at the Heritage, who are true gems and are a credit to the hotel and to themselves. The staff are so friendly and always have time to stop and have a chat with the guests in the bar or dining room. The staff tending to the ballroom were superb and the residents bar staff were so friendly and on the ball with our late night orders! We had a wonderful chat with so many of the staff from Finbar (night porter), Joe Kenny (waiter), Ciaran O?Neill (manager). The reception at the Heritage was truly fantastic and exceeded our expectations. The little touches like greeting us not only with champagne but in personalised Galway Crystal glasses as a keepsake, the personal message in our room from the general manager Andrew Phelan, the personalised milk and cookies in the grooms nephews room all added up to make this a real five star experience. We were so delighted to have decided to stay on a few extra nights at the Heritage. The bridal suite we chose - The Ban Ki-moon suite was breathtaking. The luxury of the rooms in this suite and stunning views over the golf course are just magnificent! The down to earth, homely, friendly atmosphere in a five star setting is truly unique to the Heritage Killenard. We will be back as often as we can and look forward to our one year anniversary stay in the bridal suite already. We could not recommend the Heritage enough. We are delighted we chose this hotel for our wedding. Thank you so much to the whole team. Rachel & Andrew

Fabulous venue with great attention to detail. Guests of all ages were looked after and enjoyed their stay. We had a civil ceremony followed by a meal for 20 close family members and then later that month had wedding service with a buffet etc for over 200 people. There are facilities to cater for all sizes of weddings. The wedding suites are just amazing. They have to be been to be appreciated. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly.

My first experience with the Heritage was when I went on a spa break with my sister. When I first stepped inside the hotel I had a very positive feeling and I knew instantaneously that if I was ever to get married, I would have my reception there. Luckily when the time came and myself and my husband viewed the hotel together, he similarly shared the same feeling. From our initial contact with the wedding team when we expressed an interest in the hotel as a potential venue to celebrate our wedding and up to and after our wedding day, the team were a pleasure to deal with. They were very professional and very accommodating of all of our needs. In addition to the beautiful venue and the professional and courteous nature of the staff, the food and service on the wedding day was top class. We have received lots of praise from our guests regarding how much they enjoyed our wedding, a lot of this praise was due to the exceptional service and quality of food provided by the Heritage. We would like to extend special praise to Trisha Broughan who is excellent in her role as events executive. I would highly recommend the Heritage as a potential wedding venue for any newly engaged couples without any hesitation.

The whole team at The Heritage could not have been more helpful in the run up to the wedding and on the day. No request was too small or too big, they made us and all our guests feel so welcome and everybody kept telling me how excellent the hotel staff were during their stay. David was our Wedding Planner and he was so lovely to deal with and made sure everything ran smoothly along with John, the banqueting manager, who was also brilliant. The food was delicious and exactly as we requested at the tasting. Ian the head chef was so helpful and professional, he made us feel very confident all was going to be great on the day which it was. I honestly picked the Heritage as I have heard such good things from other brides and friends and really wanted to choose somewhere I could trust for high standards in food and service as I have heard so many awful stories I didnt want to risk somewhere I hadn't received referrals from. The hotel is 5 star but I found reasonably priced considering some 4 star hotels in area were almost charging the same. Our penthouse and the views were amazing and we got married in the church across the road which was so convenient esp with time pressure on the day. I can't recommend this hotel as a venue enough as our day was so special and I know its because the team in the Heritage went the extra mile to make it that way.

We had our wedding reception in the Heritage Resort, Killenard in August of this year. With over 200 guests on the day the team at the Heritage went above and beyond our expectations.
Their level of professionalism is second to none and I must add that David Hannify, who looked after our every need, is an exceptional ambassador for the hotel

On the day everything ran very smoothly and on time , especially the meal as I know many couples worry about this. The food was amazing and our guests are still talking about it

We also chose wine from their selection , which went down a treat with our guests. In fact some of them have been in touch to ask what it was !

As we had a lot of children at our wedding we found the facilities to be fantastic. They were able to avail of the private cinema, playground and games room on the day

The accomodation is to an excellent standard and we had a great choice in terms of honeymoon suite

Our guest experience was second to none and we highly recommend the Heritage Resort

Our wedding co-ordinator Avril was fantastic. Any queries we had at all, she was there to hand, on the lead up to our wedding. On the day of our wedding Avril and the team at The Herritage could not have made us and all our guests feel more at ease. Everything ran very smoothly, thanks to all the staff at The Heritage. We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day and so did our guests. I would highly recommend The Heritage for a wedding reception.

We got married in the Heritage Killenard last November. We could not have been happier with the hotel and the staff. The hotel was so beautiful, it really had the 'wow' factor. The staff were so helpful and made our day so special. Our wedding coordinator Avril took care of everything. This made the lead up to our wedding completely stress free. We're returning to the hotel soon for our anniversary and I cannot wait to relive the best day of my life in the beautiful surroundings of the Heritage Killenard.

Our wedding at The Heritage, Killenard, was absolutely fantastic. I have nothing but praise for the hotel as a venue, and the service we, and our guests, received from the staff.
The banqueting suite is lovely and the decor and chair covers were perfect. I love that the stage is recessed, so that the band can be setting up as the meals finishes, and the dancing can start as soon as possible. The room is also quite large, so that no tables had to be move (other than the head table) for the dance floor. The decor in the lobby is beautiful, and the staircase is a fantastic setting for photographs. We had some external photos taken in the Fairy Garden, and although it's not a big space-it's perfect for outdoor shots; we actually have loads to choose from (on what was a fairly wet day in August!). There's a little cinema off the Gallery (drinks reception area), which was great for the kiddies. The bedrooms are fabulous and so comfortable, from the standard rooms right up to the wedding suite (choice of 3!). Great choice for breakfast too.
What really sets The Heritage apart as a venue, is the service and the food. From our first visit with David, the wedding coordinator, I just had such a good feeling for the hotel. David had so much time for us, didn't rush us at all, answered all our questions and showed us every aspect of the hotel-including the different bedrooms/suites. In the run-up to the wedding, David and Trisha were on hand for any query, and were so accommodating and easy-going, I had no worries coming up to the big day. We had an awful lot of little touches, wedding favours, bits for the tables etc, no request was too big or too little-it was looked after.
On the day itself, David was there ensuring everything ran smoothly. The banqueting staff were exceptional, everyone from the wait staff to John the banqueting manager and Martina, his second-in command. John checked on every table during the meal. Martina looked after the kids table and knew them all by name within about 5 minutes! John and Martina also looked after us on the second day of our wedding when we had a BBQ, and they were as professional and lovely as ever. We had a big wedding (250ish) and a six course meal, but the meal ran so smoothly, all thanks to the staff; which is no mean feat!
That brings me to the food! Exceptional! As I said we had a large weeding, with a choice of starter, main and dessert. The food was incredible-cooked perfectly, hot when it arrived and delicious. I can not tell you the number of people who have complimented the food and service, since the wedding. Nearly every time I see someone for the first time, it's the same 'It was a great day-the food!, the service!'. Literally, everyone comments on the food and staff. So it's not just a bride looking back with rose-tinted glasses.
I can not recommend The Heritage, Killenard as a wedding venue enough-all I can say, is that if you're thinking about booking it as your venue-don't think about it-just book it! You will not be sorry!

The staff of The Heritage Spa Resort and Golf Course could not do enough for us on our special day. No ask was too big or too small. The hotel was recently redecorated and looks amazing and we were wowed by the banquet room when we walked in, it looked magical. Our family and friends commented on how amazing and friendly the staff were, how good the food was and how fabulous the hotel rooms were. We have a great connection with the hotel now and can't wait for more visits. I can't recommend the hotel enough.

Our wedding day was perfect from start to finish + The Heritage was a huge reason for that....the sunshine played a part too!! The Heritage does exactly what it says on the tin: provides a beautiful scenic background + 5 star service.
Patricia, the wedding planner at the Heritage, was a pleasure to deal with: flexible + approachable, which is exactly what you need when planning a wedding, to keep the stress levels at bay.
The service across our wedding weekend was excellent, our guests commented same. The food was also fantastic!
For us, we found our perfect match in the Heritage when choosing our wedding venue: they provided us with all we needed to celebrate our special day + impress our guests.
We simply could not recommend the Heritage more!

Where to start...First and foremost - the staff are incredible! I have never come across such good service as they provide in the The Heritage Hotel, Killenard, They go above and beyond the port of call in every way they can from the service staff to the kitchen staff to the managers, the concierge and reception staff. The food is delicious and to this day people still comment on how great it was on our wedding day. I cannot recommend this hotel enough! Every time we go back up there for a visit the staff remember who we are! Love love love this hotel !!!

Added 30th Apr 2014
I am sure you already know how successful the entire wedding went off last weekend and how much your professionalism contributed to it's success!

Every detail was seen to with enormous effort on your part from start to finish.

The finesse and graciousness of yourself and front-line staff, I was aware, was backed up by those who diligently worked in the background....this, I believe, must be acknowledged!



From our first contact with your good self during February / March 2013 right up until and throughout the wedding, my daughter and her husband were extremely impressed and pleased that they chose the Heritage Golf and Spa Resort as their wedding venue. This gave them great confidence and reassurance in the months that followed - right up to March this year.



We were supported and helped by the ladies at Reception and in Reservations at every stage.

I was amazed and very heartened to observe the generosity and cheerful sensitivity of the gentlemen in Concierge.........they looked after each and every guest from arrival to their departure irrespective of all the demands made.



All our rooms were beautifully presented as expected of the hotel.....the condition and standards in the guest rooms are of utmost importance to guests as they retreat to their rooms to revive, refresh and rest.



The Chef and his team were superb throughout....from the cooking skills and presentation of every delicious dish which was all done with exactitude, flair and artistry. Kindly extend our appreciation to the Chef for his help in planning menus and hard work throughout the entire weekend.



The Restaurant, Lounge and Bar staff in all areas, were exceptional as they saw that guest's needs and requests were satisfied even during very busy periods....this was challenging at times but staff remained calm, efficient and helpful.



As you promised, we saw how, because of the superb organization and training of the waiters, the meal ran very smoothly and every guest was individually considered. As a result, each course was served fresh without any unnecessary delays for any guest........this achievement must have been very difficult to master.

We were very pleased with the high standard, presentation and friendliness we received in the Golf Resort on the evening prior to the wedding. This meant so much to us as people settled in and mingled comfortably and with ease!



The Spa and Leisure Centre was also much appreciated by guests and, as we expected, standards and level of service was superb.



My daughter and her husband, all families and friends thoroughly enjoyed their stay at the Heritage Golf and Spa Resort - from all the feedback, I am very sure they will and speak highly of their experience far and wide and recommend the entire resort to others.

I just wanted to write you a mail to say a MASSIVE thank you for all the organisation that went into our wedding. We honestly couldn't have asked for anything more from our special day, it was amazing.



Thank you so much for putting up the decorations in the hotel, they blew me away the moment I walked into the hotel. Every little thing was just perfect, I honestly can't complement you and the team enough. Our day wouldn't have been as magical if we did not have you working on it, it really was everything we could have wished for and more.



I can't wait now to get back down to the Heritage, we're going to try and hold off until our 1st anniversary to make the trip even more special.



Thanks again for all your hard work, we'll honestly never forget everything you did for us. We can't recommend the Heritage enough to anyone planning their wedding.

I just wanted to send a quick email to thank you and all the staff at the Heritage for everything you did for us on the weekend of our wedding. We had a most enjoyable weekend, everything went off without a hitch and we felt so relaxed and pampered throughout the whole time we were down there. Our guests were so impressed not only with the venue, which was utterly stunning, but with the staff who couldn?t do enough for us and the food as well. The hotel made an excellent impression on our friends and family. Thank you again for everything. We look forward to our next visit to your beautiful hotel.

What can we say, every last detail of the entire wedding wedding was AMAZING. We had the most unreal day for our wedding and enjoyed every minute of it and the following day. Thanks so much to you and all the staff. We've had so many compliments on the food, the staff, the hotel, the list is endless. You guys shone! We can't thank you enough for everything in the months leading up to the wedding and especially in the days before and on the day. You're fantastic at your job and you made it so easy for us. We felt like royalty on the day and just the tiny attention to details like all the staff knew our names and said hello, every last bit of it was above and beyond all of our expectations. I can't recommend The Heritage Golf and Spa resort enough to anyone thinking of having their wedding day with you and if they are lucky enough to have you as their wedding planner they will be sorted. Once again, thanks so much to all the staff and especially to you for all your help with our big day and the wedding weekend.

I just wanted to drop you a mail to say thank you for everything. We never had a single problem from the first day we met you to book the venue. The day exceeded both our expectations and that is down to the attention to detail of yourself and all the wonderful staff at The Heritage. On a personal level dealing with you has been a pleasure. I have never met somebody so professional and competent and totally in control of what they are doing as yourself. All of our guests were blown away by the venue, the food and the service and they are all still talking about it. I have been to many weddings at many different hotels over the last 10 years and I have never seen the reaction from the guests to everything that we got from our guests at The Heritage. On what can be a stressful time for many brides and grooms I'm sure, I have never felt so relaxed in my life. I may have looked stressed but that was the heat!

We had our wedding recently in The Heritage Golf and Spa (at the start of June 2013)From the moment we arrived we were all treated like celebs! Everyone thought the venue was amazing.

David looked after every little detail for us coming up to the wedding and dealt with everything with such professionalism on the day....

I do have to say a Special Thank you to Dougie on concierge he was exceptional, from the moment we arrived he couldnt do more for us. Every time I turned round Dougie was there to help. Everyone was talking about how understanding he was and how nothing seemed to be a problem. The day itself went without a hitch and the next day we had a BBQ in the golf club, highly recommend this especially if you get nice weather.

Thank you again to everyone in The Heritage, extremely reasonable and EXCEPTIONAL and professional staff-you made our day x
