So much attention to every detailSo much attention to every detail
We honestly feel that choosing Collisheen as our venue was definitely one of our best choices for the wedding. From initiation until the very end, you and the entire team were so professional and paid so much attention to every detail. The service was definitely top notch and this was reinforced by the feedback we got from our guests.

Having our wedding reception at Collisheen was the best decision we have ever made. It was absolutely outstanding to work with Gizelle. I never had to stress throughout this whole wedding reception because I always felt like Gizelle was by my side even from miles and miles away. Thank you for all the love and support ❤️ Phumz was also such a pleasure to work with, super hands on and just a super star.Having our wedding reception at Collisheen was the best decision we have ever made.
