Reviews
Mlungisi Sibiya: “We had our wedding at this venue on the 6th of June 2025. From the very first time we visited Collisheen and met with Gizelle, we felt reassured and confident that everything would go smoothly – and it truly did. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail put us at ease from the start. We are so grateful for the incredible support from her and the entire Collisheen team. It’s a beautiful venue and overall experience was top-notch.”
Beryl Pretorious: “Our wedding day was on 31 May 2025 and it was undoubtedly the best day of our lives. Melissa was incredibly helpful and kind, ready to lend a helping hand and accommodate our needs wherever needed, both leading up to the wedding day and on the day itself. I loved that everything we needed was in one place, including a salon area in the bridal room fitted with everything we’d need, a chapel on the premises and both indoor and outdoor areas for mingling. The garden was lovely to capture some sunset moments. And the FOOD! All of the food was INCREDIBLE!
Thank you so much to everyone at Orchid House for helping us have the most fantastic day!”
