Sohanlazel: "Our fairytale wedding at Collisheen Estate was everything we dreamed of and more. From the moment we arrived, the setting felt magical — the beautiful gardens created the perfect backdrop for our ceremony, and the Boma reception area added such a warm, romantic atmosphere to the evening.
A special thank you to our incredible wedding coordinator, Gizelle, and her wonderful assistant, Phumlani. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and calm guidance made the entire day seamless and stress-free. They truly went above and beyond to ensure every moment was perfect.
The food was absolutely amazing — beautifully presented and delicious, with our guests still talking about it! The combination of stunning scenery, exceptional service, and outstanding cuisine made our day unforgettable."
Celestine Rufus: "We had the wedding of our dreams at Collisheen Estate.
From the start, Gizelle was organised, proactive, and incredibly supportive, with clear and prompt communication that made the planning process stress-free.
On the day, the team went above and beyond — ensuring everything ran smoothly, taking special care of us by making sure we had food and drinks, and even helping with packing up.
The venue is absolutely stunning, from the beautiful Boma and lush lawns to the well-maintained chapel and reception hall. The fairy lights at night added a magical touch.
The food and bar service were excellent, the staff were professional and friendly, and the bridal salon and groom’s boardroom were clean, comfortable, and well thought out.
We cannot recommend Collisheen Estate enough — truly an unforgettable experience!"
