WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
It was truly stunning! Thanks so much to you and the whole crew for helping to make our day absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have picked a better spot and you all were so helpful and kind.
Camilla + Armando
I recommended Collective, mainly due to its location, but, following my visit, I was delighted to recommend the facilities too! I was holding a wedding ceremony for a couple from The States, and the Library was perfect – small, light, wonderful views, and such a feeling of history! The couple loved it and the views are so spectacular!
Gillian Robertson, Celebrant
We had an absolutely wonderful day – the venue was perfect and we were so grateful for all of your help and support!
