Headfort Arms Wedding Show, Oct 2nd

With guest of honour RENOWNED wedding expert 'Franc', star of the hit television series Weddings by Franc

Franc will present a talk on the day on the Art of Wedding Planning, which promises to fascinate and entertain all in attendance. The Cork-based wedding expert will also detail which trends within the industry are currently 'in vogue' and will give brides and grooms some creative ideas of how to make their Wedding Day unique and special.


The MC for the glamorous event on Sunday, October 2nd is 2FM presenter Damien Farrelly, while acclaimed operatic tenor Eugene Ginty will open the afternoon's proceedings with some inspirational music.
The very best of national and regional wedding suppliers will be in attendance, ranging from award-winning paper press stationery to artisan patisseries – all of whom will be on hand to present their advice and services to couples who are planning to tie the knot in the near future.

Headfort Arms Hotel - a perfect  wedding venue


The Gold Medal Award Winning Headfort Arms has been owned by the Duff family for 40 years now and it continues to thrive in these challenging times as a special time-honoured venue for your wedding.
Tradition aside, the hotel offers a unique atmosphere of Irish hospitality, warm family spirit and authentic cuisine from its long standing kitchen team, who have ensured that the Headfort is consistently recommended by Ireland’s leading food critics and guidebooks.


 The Hotel always surprises visitors who come through the 200 year old entrance to a wonderful self-contained wedding suite and its best kept secret, the Headfort Gardens. The magnificent Kenlis Suite offers a spacious reception foyer, impressive Georgian-style ballroom with high ceilings, crystal chandeliers and lots of natural light. The ballroom looks over the conservatory and gardens, which have been re-landscaped this year and include lovely features such as a portico, tea house and French swing – providing a perfect backdrop for wedding photography.


Guests can enjoy relaxing comfort in the sanctuary of the Hotel's bespoke 45 bedrooms, which offer a blend of old and new world on every encounter.

To mark this marvellous Wedding Show, the Headfort Arms are offering four lucky couples the chance to win a 15 minute ‘One on One’ private consultation with Franc Ireland's leading wedding guru on the day of the Show. This unique prize ensures that the four winning couples will each receive some excellent advice from 'Franc' on how to add the 'wow' factor to their special day.
