Collisheen Estate - The BOMAWhat an incredible venue. Fell in love with it on our very first visit!Gizelle took us through the venue and explained the in's and out's - made me feel like we were going to have a day we would never forget - 1 year before our actual wedding day!Throughout the process from when we secured the date, to choosing a menu, to viewing the venue again, to finalizing timelines, etc, Gizelle made the entire process so smooth and non-stressful.Bridal salon on site was so convenient, but to arrive on the day and see that they had even colour coded it to the colours of my wedding - the small details surely do matter and shows how much effort is put in to make you feel so welcome.The food was absolutely fantastic, almost 3 weeks has passed since the wedding and my guests are still talking about it. Totally blown away with how much care and concern was given to making sure the guests with food allergies got the food they were able to eat.The barmen treated our guests like they were usuals and they loved how friendly and caring the staff were all round.Gizelle, Phumlani, Chef’s and all the staff at Collisheen that worked behind the scenes - Thank you for a day we will NEVER forget!We loved every minute of it!Kind Regards Mr & Mrs Klopper

This has got to be one of the best wedding venues in KZN. We planned our wedding whilst residing in Johannesburg with ease due to the professionalism and efficiency of Gizelle. Gizelle's team which includes her right hand man Phumlani ensured that everything went smoothly on our special day. The venue has a nice open feel to it as you can make use of the chapel, garden and The Boma. The meals prepared on the day deserve a Michelin star according to my wedding guests. Outstanding service from the staff looking after the bar, canapés and overseeing the buffet. Highly recommend.

Beautiful space for preloved collections.

Our wedding at Collisheen Estate Orchid House was made so incredibly perfect by the efforts of Tae-Marie and the incredible staff. We felt immensely taken care of. On a day that can be fast paced and typically stressful, we were able to relax and enjoy it as much as our guests did. The venue is naturally beautiful, the chapel is charming and romantic and the food is something that our guests still talk about. Our small intimate Christmas wedding was something we will never forget. Thank you endlessly.
