Your work is amazing, your attention to detail, clear communication and your dedicated staff is what I loved the most about your venue, my family was in awe , the way there were taken care of. Food was great, drinks were flowing, everything was truly amazing.
Keith & Symone, 1st December 2023
Keith 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

Sherman & Rozelle, 9th September 2023
Thank you!! Service was great, food was great and the Boma worked perfectly for us!We will share and photos with you and tag Collisheen for sure!From speaking to guests I note the following:-1. Toilets were clean and tidy
2. Food was plentiful and tasty
3. Dessert ( ice-cream tasted expensive and very creamy, fruit was generous)
4. What we enjoyed was the attention to detail from the staff ( we were served at the main table and asked what we would like to eat). During the toast, we receive dour drinks and did not need to ask or enquire
5. We as the bridal couple received our canapés
6. Vegetarians received their canapés separately
7. Phumlani is a star!
8. You were always pleasant, available to answer questions, helpful with ideas and suggestions!Rozelle and I will sure visit and catch up! thank you
Jenna & Oliver, 14 July 2023
We were absolutely blown away by the Collisheen team. The staff were friendly, professional and so accommodating. We are so grateful for the way you so effortlessly pulled off all of our requests to make our day exactly how we dreamed it to be- no matter how weird and wonderful our ideas were. Thank you for jumping into the deep end to make our burger bar happen, we have had the most amazing feedback on the all the food. From the moment we stepped foot into Collisheen at our first meeting, we both felt a sense of warmth and homeliness which was just exemplified with each following visit. Our day was everything we could have ever imagined, and it would not have been possible without you and your team. It was an absolute privilege to have had you a part of our wedding journey, thank you so much. We can't wait to pop in to visit you (and Pat)!All our love,
The Cash's
Lucille & Kyle, 1st April 2023
Thank you so much for everything Gizelle, everything went so well and everyone commented that it was a fairytale wedding. Thanks to you and your team for making our dreams and wishes a reality!
Nadine & Morne, 19 August 2023
Firstly.... THANK YOU!Being someone that had never thought of my wedding day much and what I would want, venue's were an overwhelming hill I had to tackle..
The day we viewed Collisheen and met you I got in the car and told hubby THIS IS THE ONE!The way you 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...Throughout the process from when we secured the date, to choosing a menu, to viewing the venue again, to finalizing timelines, etc, you made the entire process so smooth and non-stressful.Assisting us with our logistical issues of not being able to meet in person but making time to run through the day via phone call shows how much you care about making this a memory we will never forget.Saturday the 19 August... WOW.. walking into the bridal salon.. You even coloured coded to the colours of my wedding - BLOWN AWAY!
The catering for the bridal salon was fantastic!As I spent the morning getting ready, watching you meet with your staff, running around getting things finished, I never felt a moment of stress.I spent the day relaxed enjoying the beautiful setting you have at your venue.Then came time to walk down the aisle, you were right there... making sure the DJ knew when to play what was scheduled, making sure my girls knew when to walk and then me... that smile you gave me when letting me know it was my turn, had me taking one deep breath and wording to myself I GOT THIS!It was magical...Seeing everything we had discussed coming to life - I was in a mini fairytale of my own.
The canapes are set up - BEAUTIFUL!I am not sure what happened while away for photos but the feedback from the guests was nothing but positive.The Reception - WOW, WOW, WOW!
Everything was just MAGICAL, I probably have used this word loads in this mail but I have to call it what it was.Food - It was exceptional!
There was not one negative comment and a week later people are still talking about the food..
Allergies - WOW! THANK YOU!
They were totally blown away with how much care and concern was given to making sure they got the food they were able to eat.
Please thank your chefs for an AMAZING mealBar - Your staff were loved by all, some even loved that they became usuals (the barman knew exactly what they drank, lol)Your Manager (apologies I cannot remember his name) - THANK YOU sir for doing your job AMAZINGLY - we appreciate you!Gizelle - Thank you for a day we will NEVER forget!We loved every minute of it!Kind Regards

Celeste & Dirk, 10 June 2023
Where shall I begin, from the very first time we met with you, the service was excellent. You were there from the start to the very end of the function. The Breakfast buffet was to die for, and there was more than enough food for everyone. The staff was excellent.
Amit & Dipika, Sunday 21st May 2023

Kemera & Jason, 5th May 2023
Thank you so much for making our day special, and taking care of us. You thought about the finer details and that made a world of difference. You and Phumlani made the event so easy and we did not have to stress at all. The venue and the food was amazing! Everyone, I mean everyone could not stop raving about the food, especially the canape food.Unfortunately, we did not get to taste any of the canape food to which we so regret. I hear it was such a hit! The food was plenty and the attention to detail was amazing.
Avanthi & Zaheer, 6th May 2023
Dear Gizelle
From the moment I set up the first viewing appointment with you on the phone, I was immediately drawn to your enthusiasm and kindness. It is one of the main reasons why I chose Collisheen as a venue. You showed me such excitement, as if this was the first wedding you were assisting with. Your positive attitude continued right through the process, and on the day it was evident that you are great at what you do as it came so naturally to you.Our guests cannot stop raving about the event, with so many messages saying that this was probably the best wedding they have ever attended. The venue was done up beautifully, the staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was to die for! The care you and your team took to make sure that the wedding couple were looked after, that we had eaten after having to socialise, really made our day! I can still remember the taste of the food, it really was incredible.I am so grateful to you and the team for making this day the best day of my life. I’m so sad that I will never get to have another wedding 🙁 But if I ever choose to renew my vows, or throw a large event, I will choose Collisheen again! Without a doubt!

Dear Gizelle, This mail is just to say thank you for your excellent service that you have provided Adhir and I in making our fairytale wedding come true, choosing the Collisheen estate (Boma) was the best decision we have ever made. Thank you for your attention to detail and going above and beyond to ensure that the day went perfect. Collisheen Estate has made our wedding an experience of life a time and a dream come true. Gizelle you have done such an amazing job ensuring that everything was exactly what we wanted. Thank you for such an excellent service.
Jasmin & Kalyn 10th December 2022 The Boma
We cannot thank you and the team enough for all that you have done. Everything was perfect. Everyone said it was the best wedding they have ever been to and it’s thanks to you (and your barman). We all loved the food. Everything was incredible, especially the starters with the different sauces. My favorite for the night was the creamy veg pasta. Collisheen is just the most chilled, beautiful venue. I am so glad all our guests felt relaxed and free. That’s the vibe we wanted. Everyone told me that the wedding day is so stressful, but I wasn’t stressed or nervous even for a second. I knew you had my back with everything, so I didn’t have to even think about anything. Quite a few people also commented on how nice it was to see you walking around and making sure everything was done. It’s almost a month later and our guests are still talking about how perfect everything was.
Tarryn & Nithen 12th of November 2022 Orchid House

Sherwyn & Sajal 11 December 2021 The Boma
Dear Amanda,
A really big thank you to yourself and the Collisheen team. I had so much of fun planning everything with you all. The end result was nothing short of fantastic. You took our fairytale wedding and made it a reality. None of our wedding preparation would be possible with Collisheen.
Dian & Julian 18 December 2021 The Boma
Dear Amanda,
You are definitely at the top of the list, from our very first phone call a long long long time ago, I knew it would be an absolute pleasure to work with you. Your passion, dedication and love for what you do is evident in all your communications, and time and energy you put into your clients. Working in the legal industry, our number 1 value is client centricity, I literally bend over backwards for clients on a daily! Although not the best for your wellbeing……. you definitely showed this level of commitment to me and our function. You have been so kind throughout the process, following up with me when I forget things, offering your valued expertise and knowledge and bearing with my light night emails.
You are absolutely remarkable at what you do and that clearly stems from your wonderful personality. I could not imagine any better career for you. In that last week, you really calmed my nerves and managed it all. Your attention to detail is outstanding, and you always went over and above to attend to my requests and queries. You have really made this entire experience a pleasurable 1 for me. There was never a minute, where I felt I could not ask questions, give you a call or question anything. You are truly outstanding, and Collisheen is truly blessed to have a gem like you as an employee. A 2022 increase is surely in order. You are a super woman, I cannot even imagine, how you give that much support to the multiple brides you are dealing with, cause you really made it feel like I was your only client! The only way I can describe you is as a fairy Godmother!
From Julian and I we are eternally grateful for your love, support and compassion shown to us! Please let me know which days you will be in the office, so I can send you a token of our appreciation. All the best for 2022, may you prosper in your personal and professional life, and continue to be a blessing to all future brides.
We had an absolute amazing photographer, I will surely send some pictures through once received.
Some high-level feedback of my thoughts of the actual day are set out below:
Amanda / other staff aka the fairy godmother.
My sentiments of the day are as set out above. What I loved about the day, is that we did not speak business! You appreciated that the bride will always be stressed, and whatever needed to be discussed, you did so with others, so I could truly enjoy my day.
You perfectly took care, to place and return everything that I had sent through.
You took great care of my mum and bridesmaids. They were so impressed, also could not stop speaking about how amazing you were. You really made them feel so special and taken care of too.
The other staff were absolutely outstanding. They were all so pleasant, soft, humble and polite. I really noticed this and it meant a lot to me. It was the standard I would get at a fine dining restaurant. This was a great, because a single waiter being rude or just dull could really spoil a person's experience. Please do pass my gratitude to all.
Planning:
The entire planning process was a breeze with you. No last-minute surprises, as with other suppliers.
Thank you for accommodating my requests at the very last minute.
I was most impressed with the questionnaire, it was detailed, and well thought out and covered all the relevant information.
Thank you for accommodating my several amendments to the final quote.
Venue:
The venue was absolutely breath-taking. It always more magical when it is your special day!
All the guests loved the many photo opportunities.
From my side everything was perfect! The bridal salon was amazing, and I think brides may overlook how important it is.
Food:
Sadly I did not get to indulge in the food on the day. But it was really nice of you to have some food packed away for us!
The breyani was simply delicious! I wish I had more! For an Indian person to compliment breyani – you know it must have been great!
The pasta was my favourite! Absolutely loved it – also wish I had more!
Dessert was a 10/10 – just too good!
I did not taste the chicken.
Canapes – As big as the slider was, I ate and risked messing my face, cause I love pork – it was worth it. Also loved the prawns and chicken strips. My 1 comment would be to make the slider smaller, so its more of a finger food.
Overall, I did not received a singly bad comment from any of the guests on the food.
Kuddos to the chef!
Overall, working with you the venue, staff, coordination, food and experience was a 10/10P.S Please don’t take my compliments lightly, I am generally a very critical person!
P.S I am generally pedantic and never wanted to be a last-minute bride, but due to the additional stress brought about by covid, it was inevitable. Please don’t judge me for being crazy!
Magnette Events - Red Bull 7 December 2021 The Boma
Hi Amanda,
I just wanted to say a HUGE THANK-YOU to you and Wayne, Pumlani, your Chef, Gizelle and the rest of your INCREDIBLE TEAM.
As an event manager finding a beautiful venue with all the right facilities is great but it’s the venue team that really ensures if the event is a success of not and the Collisheen Estate team were absolutely amazing this week. Thank-you for meeting all our requests and being so on the ball. Service was 5 star and the event ran so smoothly because of it. If you ever need a recommendation as a corporate events venue please let me know.
Wishing you all a happy and healthy December break and I hope 2022 is a fantastic year for your wonderful venue and its amazing team.

KZN Master Builders 1 October 2021 The Boma
Dear Amanda
Trust that you are well.
Thank You so much for Friday. It was an absolute pleasure working with you. My apologies for all the changes and back and forth. Nonetheless, it was a spectacular event and we could not be happier. Collisheen Estate had outdone themselves with the service and food. Please let Phumlani and Gizelle, as well as Chef know that we are absolutely thankful to them and their hard work.
May Collisheen continue to grow from strength to strength!
Candice & Sirshen 4 September 2021 The Boma
Hi Amanda,We just wanted to say THANK YOU for doing an absolutely amazing job with our wedding last weekend and keeping all on track behind the scenes, you totally exceeded our expectations and brought our vision to life! Sirshen and I were in awe when we walked in both the garden and Boma. May god continue to bless you to continue to do this amazing work.
Tamara & Karl 17th June 2021 Orchid House
Hi Gizelle,
We can never thank you enough for the exceptional service. My family and friends all loved you and the team present on the day of the wedding Dinner. Thank you again for the day so much easy and for having all the patience in the world.
Please pass on the mail to your manager thanking them for a 5-star experience.(I would like to thank Gizelle for the amazing service her team and herself held at Tamara and Karl Orchids reception held on the 17th June 2021 at the Orchid House. Gizelle and her team were on the ball from the time we stepped into the time we left. She was pleasant and so professional in everything she did. Everything was perfect. Gizelle is a very pleasant friendly person who goes beyond what is expected. Thank u Gizelle for all u did to make the reception so beautiful. Lizzy - The bride's mum.)
Reesha & Preston 10th April 2021 The Boma
Our overall experience of Collisheen is overwhelmingly positive. We really appreciated the time Amanda took to meet with us on multiple occasions to answer our questions, provide feedback and assist with decision making. This level of service was exceptional and it enhanced our experience from simply being a wedding venue to a holistic wedding experience.Your questionnaires and administrative systems are on point, resulting in detailed planning and brilliant execution. Furthermore, your payment policies and processes are simple and leave the client with peace of mind. Paying a R10 000 deposit for the Boma and making full payment just 2 weeks before the wedding is particularly a bonus feature of Collisheen, especially during COVID times when there is so much uncertainty. This business practice is rare and must be commended, especially during these difficult fiscal times. Reesha and I have observed a positive synergy among staff, both in admin and planning as well as those on the ground, which results in a calm and reassuring environment. Your professionalism and courtesy to accommodate and liaise with our service providers are also duly noted.The food was great, all our guests had good things to say about the taste and quality of the food. The venue and facilities were amazing, we loved using the garden spaces which were all well maintained. Reesha and I came for the beauty of the venue but left with so much more than just pleasing aesthetics. We left Collisheen with an incredible wedding experience.Overall, our experience with the staff and venue at Collisheen was lovely and we would highly recommend their venue and services.What would make Collisheen stand out as a venue of choice in the future? Maintain the staff synergy and excellent service provision, make a few tasteful upgrades to the venue and facilities (while still maintaining its heritage), and you guys will remain as a dominant competitor in this tough segment.We wish Collisheen staff and management all the best through these pandemic times.
Prinesha & Cameron 28th November 2020 Orchid House
Hi lovely lady. I hope that you are well and well and all smiles. Hope that business is going well. So I have pics of the wedding and venue. Just thought il forward it to you. Many thanks for what you did for us. Going way beyond your limits to ensure that it was such a beautiful day for us both. You are truly God-sent and amazing at what you do. You have the perfect gift of giving people happiness.
Kumeshan & Natasha 24th April 2021 Orchid House
Hi Gizelle,Thank you so much for hosting the perfect wedding for us.
A few thoughts on the service at Collisheen:
· The food was very good. We have had everyone that attended complimenting all the food served at the wedding. Even the aunties that have to make a remark or two 😉
· The hostess was an absolute delight who made sure that we never had to worry about anything.
· The Décor company, Xquisite Hiring was amazing and also went out of their way to make the place look and feel very special.
· Value for money was, at first, a concern for us but with the way Wayne and yourself accommodated and took our concerns into consideration we were happy to pay the price quoted. The venue is very charming and you guys are very lucky to get to work somewhere that beautiful.
I can think of many more but I’ll let the pictures and the smiles on our faces help with more compliments.
Nelisha & Julian 18th April 2021 Orchid House
Hi Gizelle,We are still on a wedding buzz! My family and I couldn’t be happier with the manner in which you hosted us. I loved every minute of it! It was truly magical. We appreciate your professionalism in handling everything even minor hiccups! You made me feel comfortable that all was under control and that’s a lot for me who handles everything myself lol! I think I've set a trend in my family now, so expect more calls for venue hire.
I hope my family wasn’t too much for you, but they are all really impressed with the food, service, organization, and friendliness!
I will for sure update you on my pictures we are awaiting more from my photographer. I can't wait!
Thank you, a million times, for allowing me the wedding I dreamed of, I will forever be grateful!
