Forest Hills/Westinghouse Lodge — Attraction in Forest Hills

We recently had our wedding at the lodge. It was difficult but doable. We had a small wedding 81 people. We rented chairs for the outside wedding part. When we first toured the lodge in the winter the grounds were in pretty bad shape, litter everywhere the floor of the hall was gross my guess the building doesn't get used as much in the winter and they let it go a little bit. But on our wedding day the flower beds were mulched everything was clean and looked really nice. The bathrooms are old and outdated, but with a candle and some other stuff we spruced them up a little. The kitchen is decent. We had our wedding catered by apple harvest in north Versailles so we didn't really use the kitchen except for food and drink prep. The ice machine is awesome with an 8h rental it's included. There is also a huge drink cooler bin. For a wedding the hall isn't very accommodating and I probably would not do it again there. We had to add and pay extra money to add time to set up early that morning. The outside tables were covered in dirt and pollen. And we weren't allowed to do a rehearsal there. We met in the parking lot and kinda showed our bridal party the plan it worked but it wasn't ideal. For the $1000 you would think they would have been a little more accommodating on something that took us 30 min to go over. They set up the tables and chairs inside to their diagram. We changed it and made it work for us. There are plenty of big and small tables to use for the cake, DJ, cookie, gift tables. This venue is really ideal for large birthdays, family reunions, dinner parties...

This is the second time I rented the Forest Hills Westinghouse Lodge. I had our son's Graduation party here two weeks ago and it was fantastic! The lodge, bathrooms and kitchen were super clean. The kitchen had everything you needed for your food, it has a large double refrigerator, large double stove, counter space, double sink and plenty of garbage cans with liners. Also, there is an ice machine bin in the kitchen filled with ice! Also, there is plenty of parking for your guests. Loved the outside covered wrapped around porch with plenty of picnic tables with benches. We only used 10 but there's about 25 or more. There is also a very large bin(tub) they put on the porch in the summer for your ice and drinks. The grounds are well kept and beautiful! I know a few people who had an outside wedding here. The inside of the lodge has seating for 70 people but the outside accommodates over 200 people. The contact person for the rental of the lodge and grounds is Walt, he was very nice and returned my calls quickly if I had a question for him. They have signs posted outside and inside the building that tells you there are surveillance cameras on. Also, you sign off on that in the contract. That was no problem at all. Overall I'm really glad that this lodge is here to...
