“We loved having our wedding at Pilgrim Heights Camp & Retreat Center! Mckenzie and the staff were so friendly, quick to respond to any questions, and truly seemed happy to host our special day. The camp was beautifully maintained with tidy cabins and gorgeous natural surroundings that perfectly fit our outdoorsy vibe. Mckenzie went above and beyond to ensure the venue accommodated my grandpa's wheelchair, exemplifying the caring spirit of Pilgrim Heights. From the planning process to the big day itself, they contributed so much warmth while also handling logistics smoothly. We highly recommend Pilgrim Heights for their beautiful, nature-filled venue and outstanding service - especially shout out to Mckenzie Hinegardner for putting such care into coordinating everything!”
