ExcellentBased on 293 reviewsIsabella van Aarde22 March 2024Just got married over a month ago and couldn't have chosen a better venue. Tae-Marie and the team at Collisheen was on point with everything on the day. They were organised and very helpful, always communicated on time and if I had any questions or requests they assisted where ever they could. The Food was wonderful had lots of guests complimenting on it. The chaple and reception area was spotless. Tae-Marie assisted with everything before and during the day. We got married at the orchid house which was perfect for a small intimate wedding and the Chaple was just so special and unique to us. They are very professional and they knew exactly what to do and when. Thank you Collisheen xrobyn lewis19 January 2024Collisheen Estate understands the assignment! Their staff are on an unbeatable level of excellence. The atmosphere was 10/10, the attention to detail, the communication was clear, the commitment, the integrity, the passion for what they do and the respect they have for their staff and everyone just blew us away. The Beauty of the venue speaks for itself, the cleanliness of the place, the food was the most complimented thing by our guests and we agree it was made on a level of excellence. The help received from Tae - Marie at the Orchard house throughout the planning and on the wedding day was the cherry on top for us, she was so patient and so kind and helpful to us and all our guests. We planned our wedding in 5 months without a wedding planner and it was the smoothest process ever with not one problem experienced. Even the weather was perfect and i believe its because we chose the right venue that had the right people with the right attitude and we cannot thank you enough Collisheen Estate for making our day absolutely perfect.Howie Sunkel29 December 2023PhotoboothLab was at Orchard House last night for a wedding reception. A great time was had by all.Symone Grewan19 December 2023Keith and I had our wedding at the Orchid House on 1 Dec 2023. We could not have planned our wedding within 2 months without the incredible help from Tae-Marie Hullet. We upsized the Spring Special from 60 to 110 guests. The food, service (including waiters) and venue was excellent, generous and of the highest standard. Our guests loved it. The decor was done by Penny which formed part of the package. We could have not been more impressed by her understanding and interpretation of what we desired for the colour scheme, flowers and overall arrangement. It was elegant, simply stunning and absolutely perfect. We made the best decision to have our wedding at Collisheen Estate and are so grateful for their incredible support within such limited time.shanel harripersadh9 December 2023The venue is stunning, and Gizelle is amazing! Every single meeting with her was effortless & every thing was well taken care off! She is a burst of energy and keeps everything & everyone going!Lira Reddi26 November 2023A big thank you to Gizelle, Phumlani & the rest of the Collisheen team for making our special day such a success. Gizelle was with us every step of the way, checking up on us throughout the build up to the wedding, ensuring that we had all our service providers and accommodating all our requests. The venue itself is incredible but it’s the collisheen team that brings the day together. Gizelle has a special way of making you feel like family (in fact, our guests did think that she was part of the family) and was the calm through the wedding chaos. Phumlani is the man behind the scenes - all he needed was a checklist and he had everything covered. Last but not least, our guests are still talking about how great the food was! We chose the vegetarian option and we were not disappointed. THANK YOU collisheen for giving us a day we will never forget.Luansha Naicker8 November 2023Hosted our wedding .
