Wedding Testimonials

Where do I start?! Staying at the The Heather Hlen over 2 nights to cover our wedding day, was like being cared for like queens!! Judith - superwoman and her amazing staff are the best thing since sliced bread! Attention to details, making sure all guests were catered for, our guests who we had stay, making sure all was in order for them in their rooms. Food was out of this world. There was nothing that was too much hassle. If I was to get married again (never-well maybe a big party) I wouldn't think twice about booking the Heather Glen again!! Thankyou so so much for an amazing few days.

The service was impeccable. Front of house were attentive and professional. Even though they probably wanted to be out partying. Atmosphere was great with a beautiful decor. Food was great.....full of flavour and well presented. My first time at Heather Glen but won't be the last. Couldn't fault anything about the day or night!

Our daughter and new son in law held their wedding reception at the heather glen on Saturday, from start to finish it was just amazing, the venue, the food, the staff all were fabulous, nothing was to much trouble, we had an absolute ball and we have had so many comments about how much our fellow guests enjoyed themselves. From the first time our daughter and her partner met Judith she made them feel so at ease and looked after them so well, and gave them their dream. If you are looking for a wedding venue then look no further.

My husband and I can not thank the Heater Glen enough for making our wedding day special from the start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and they made all our guests feel welcome. Not one of them had a bad thing to say, the food was outstanding, and we will definitely be back to have a Sunday lunch. Want to say a special thanks to Judith who from the moment of contact has kept in touch with all the planning and pointed all the other people involved where to go, we would recommend the heather glen for weddings and for any other function.

Recently stayed here for a family wedding. Not only was the venue and it's surroundings truly beautiful but staff were amazing. All staff members were so welcoming and helpful making a very special day even more special. Food service was efficient and to high standards. Waitress's went out their way to meet the needs of guests and made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. Owners/hosts were also extremely friendly and hospitable. Couldn't fault it!
