Reviews of Holiday Hill Day Camp & Recreation Center

Holiday Hill is a highly recommended wedding venue with accommodating and friendly staff. The venue offers a DIY experience and allows couples to bring in their own caterers. Despite having to postpone the wedding twice due to Covid, the staff at Holiday Hill were understanding and supportive. The venue is praised for its beautiful grounds and the reception tent is spacious. Overall, customers highly recommend Holiday Hill for its excellent service and picturesque setting.
Flexible and friendly!
I've told other people about our pirate vision and been given a hesitant and ingenuous "okay, that sounds fun," but Jesse and the team seemed genuinely interested and excited for us.
The pricing was more than reasonable. It was a lot of DIY, but that's what we're used to and what we like. The grounds are beautiful. I think you could do a wedding of any theme at this venue.
I highly recommend Holiday Hill as a wedding or party venue. Honestly I might even ask them about hosting a LARP event at some point!
Wedding Fun & Perfection!
Our wedding was around 100 people, which EASILY fit into the lovely tent with tables, dance floor, BBQ buffet, bar, and games, with the grounds to wander. We had many options for the ceremony and loved each for different reasons, but opted for a little ceremony in a new location for them, under a few trees next to the tent. Though unconventional, they batted zero eyelashes and helped arrange the chairs and power for what ended up being an incredibly lovely spot... steps away from a bar ;-). Nothing soothed my mind like knowing I had an awesome barn as *back-up* for the ceremony in bad weather!
We had over a dozen kids there and they weren’t the only ones that went mad for the playground, games, and grounds--so many people commented on how much fun they had, and the parents were very, very thankful to have exhausted children by the end of the evening. Pro tip: bring some kites. Kids LOVE running with kites, even in the stillest of wind!
All in all, I kind of wish we could get married AGAIN, just to have another bash there. Looking all around CT, there is nothing to compare to the value and quality of this venue! 11/10, high recommend!
Awesome place and amazing people .
