Reviews
All very easy to organise and to get too. Great place to lay back after the wedding!
Thank you, Caitlin!
Thank you for making our day so special. From the moment we met you, you answered all our questions so quickly. Nothing was too hard for you. Also, thank you for standing in as my bridesmaid for the dress rehearsal. Thank you for really making an effort to try and have our ceremony at the amphitheatre. Even though the ceremony didn’t go as planned, we felt so relaxed and assured that you would make plan B work for us.
Overall, it was an amazing night. Our guests said the service was amazing, waiters were polite, tables would always be reset and drinks would appear within moments of ordering. The food came out in really good timing. Everyone enjoyed the food, feedback was that the fish and steak were cooked perfectly. We cannot fault anything and would give you guys an 11/10 if we could.
Thank you for your kind words, Michelle! It was a pleasure being part of your special day.
We wanted a small ceremony in a beautiful location and decided to go with the Elopement Package that The Calile offers. Staying in the Calile Suite was an absolute luxury and it made our wedding extremely special to us. The day went so smoothly and we felt absolutely no stress because everything was taken care of so well.
The venue was immaculate and gorgeous. The staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The transition between the ceremony and the reception was seamless. The timing and delivery of the meals was excellent. Everything looked perfect and went perfectly.
We had a beautiful intimate elopement ceremony at The Calile. Such an amazing venue and excellent service, the rooms and views are incredible. Highly recommend!
I couldn’t fault The Calile one bit.
Kate, our wedding co-ordinator kept so calm when I was freaking out and it really helped me to ground myself.
The food is incredible and the venue as a whole is on another level of incredible.
If I could relive my wedding over again I would pick The Calile every single time.
