West Overton Village is a historic site, museum, rye whiskey distillery, wedding and event venue in Scottdale, PA, about 45 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. This historic property has been home to countless wedding celebrations over the last 175 years. The team continues to welcome sweethearts and their loved ones to celebrate.

This beautiful 19th-century historic site has both indoor and outdoor event areas to choose from. Many outdoor ceremonies take place in front of 1838 Overholt Homestead, a stately Federal-style home surrounded by colorful gardens. The Big Barn can accommodate up to 275 guests for an evening of dining and dancing. As the largest standing brick barn in Pennsylvania, our Big Barn features original bricks, exposed wood beams, and large barn doors.
Our Museum, located in the original 1859 distillery and gristmill building, offers many options for your celebration. The Overholt Room is the perfect indoor venue for ceremonies, receptions, showers, and rehearsal dinners, accommodating up to 100 guests. Cocktail hours are often held on the main floor of our Museum, which features an exhibition of West Overton history. Our new Overholt Stateroom, a vintage-inspired bar and lounge, can be added onto cocktail hours and can also serve as a location for rehearsal dinners, getting ready, showers, and bachelor/bachelorette parties.
At our on-site Distillery, you can add enhanced experiences, such as renting the space and coordinating whiskey tastings.

West Overton Village provides a range of services to ease the planning process. Experienced event staff can help plan celebrations for many steps in the wedding planning process, including engagement parties, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, and the big day itself. We offer a range of packages with standard and premium options for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions. Enhanced, add-on options include renting the Overholt Stateroom, the Distillery, and guided whiskey tastings.

The 2024 Wedding of Our Dreams!

I can't say enough wonderful things about the staff at West Overton! I recently had my wedding at this venue (October 2024) and was blown away by the support and help I received from the Event Coordinator, Lindsey Pierce!

Lindsey was accommodating and went above and beyond for me and my husband. No request was too big, and Lindsey was so positive and genuinely interested in helping us achieve our wedding dreams. My mom and I made many trips up to the venue from 2023 - 2024, and Lindsey always welcomed us with open arms and answered all of our questions (even the ones we had already asked her 10x). Outside of our venue visits, she was very responsive via text and e-mail, which helped tremendously because we do not live close to Scottdale. I was always very confident that we had everything handled at the West Overton as I navigated things with my other vendors because Lindsey was so on top of things.

Lindsey and her staff really maintain a beautiful space at the West Overton. It really is a perfect hidden gem in West Moreland Country, and you can tell it's because the staff really cares about where they work. The grounds, the museum, and the barn were always pristine and offered a unique experience for our wedding guests. Three weeks later, we're still getting feedback from our guests saying how beautiful and special our wedding venue was.

I cannot recommend the West Overton enough if you are hunting for a wedding venue. You are in the best hands with Lindsey and her staff; I know they will ensure you have the most special day.

Lindsey is kind, caring, sweet, funny, organized, and so much more! If you're lucky, you'll also walk away with a friend for life!

Gorgeous and Unique Venue

The venue and staff at West Overton is AMAZING and was the perfect venue for our Wedding in August. Lindsey and Patrick were there to support us for setup and during the reception and were nothing but rockstars. The big barn was beautiful - we had plenty of space to dance even with 200+ guests and our guests loved being able to walk the grounds and stand outside also. We 10/10 recommend West Overton - it is such a unique and classic venue space with so many great photo spots!

Amazing wedding venue!

From the minute we booked with West Overton Museum we knew we had made a great choice. The venue is gorgeous, and the staff takes care of you through your planning process. Patrick answered my many emails quickly and efficiently. The overall process with West Overton was an amazing experience, and we are very happy we had our wedding with them. They made our day very special every step of the way.

A Christmas Fairytale Meets Industrial Beauty

I knew for years one day I would get married at West Overton, specifically the Overholt Room. The industrial vibe of the venue depicts not only the venues history and importance to the area, which also happens to be our hometown, but is just absolutely beautiful. This holds true for all areas of West Overton Village! The staff at West Overton is friendly and responds in a timely fashion to any inquiries. We didn’t have our reception here and only because our guest list exceeded the limit. I have had the pleasure of attending a few weddings and other events at West Overton and they have all been wonderful. There is no where better for photos! So many perfect spots on the property. Please don’t limit this venue to warmer weather. It was 34 degrees the day of our wedding and the Overholt Room as well as the area in the historical house where the women got dressed were very comfortable. Treat yourself and tour this venue, you’ll love it and the history lesson that comes with it.

Wedding at West Overton

West Overton has always been my number one choice as to where to get married. When my fiancé and I went to tour the grounds, the staff was very accommodating and knowledgeable. They did everything they could to help us have the wedding of our dreams. Aleasha was fantastic in the month leading up to our wedding, making sure that we were comfortable with everything and helping us with anything we needed, even something as simple as measuring a table! The grounds are beautiful and I could not have asked for a more perfect venue!

AMAZING - dream-team staff and gorgeous venue!

I fell in love with the venue pre-COVID and had everything set up for April 2020. Pre-COVID, responses were fast and the whole team was very collaborative. COVID happened and I had to post-pone. The team was SO understanding and very flexible- which is crazy appreciated during a hectic time! We had our wedding April 2021 and it was BEAUTIFUL. We had our ceremony in the Overholt Room (temperature controlled and weather was forecasting rain), cocktail hour in the museum, and the reception in the barn. We contracted tent heaters for the barn from Elegant Catering (they were our caterer and also most affordable heater-wise) and we did 4 tent heaters. The barn was very comfortable even when it was 50 or so degrees that day so I would recommend that if you're having a colder day! The barn is so gorgeous and the fabric draping/lights you see inside come with the barn. We bought uplighting from Amazon and that's really all the decor it needed other than some table clothes and center pieces! Again, I can't thank the staff enough. They helped guide guests from ceremony to cocktail hour and then cocktail hour to the barn. They were very helpful and would talk through something I was doing to help me plan it. They were also very responsive and just very nice people in general. I can't sing their praises enough. Not only was the venue such a pretty place but the staff was a dream and that made all the difference. The pictures are AMAZING. They encourage you to use the whole venue- the homestead yard, the 30 acres that they have, the entire village- so many options!
