The PowerHouse is a waterfront wedding venue where history meets modern. Located in Columbus, Georgia, the PowerHouse sits directly on the Chattahoochee River and has been a mainstay of the city since 1851. W.C. Bradley Real Estate renovated the historic property in 2018, updating it to include all of the latest comforts and conveniences, but did so while preserving the property's past. Here, the elegance of yesterday blends with the wonder and vitality of the present. This is a venue that turns couples' dreams into reality- and makes a lasting impression on guests.

We like say that the PowerHouse is like a canvas- you create the masterpiece.

Dream Wedding in a Not-So Dreamy Time

The PowerHouse was our first choice for our big, music-festival style wedding. Then COVID happened. It turns out, the PowerHouse would also be our first choice for our intimate, livestreamed wedding with close family and friends. The staff were a dream to work with and we had a fabulous time in the beautiful buildings. 10/10 recommend this versatile space. It works with any wedding vision and offers beautiful views of the Chattahoochee River. All photos are by Eliza Morrill Photography.

Event Rental

Outdoor Events is the preferred rental vendor for the PowerHouse venue. We have worked with the PowerHouse Staff on many weddings, corporate and non-profit events. The staff is very accommodating to your needs as well as going above and beyond to meet all expectations. The PowerHouse showcases Columbus, Ga in the perfect way by utilizing a building filled with so much history and turning it into a private event venue. Your event at the PowerHouse will be a night to remember!

Gorgeous Venue

The venue is unlike anything Columbus has to offer as far as event venues- I would even go as far to say unlike anything you’ll find in Georgia. The views are unmatched, it’s spacious, clean, and steps away from all the nightlife in downtown (Uptown as they call it!). Couldn’t be a better location or more gorgeous venue. I attended an event a few weeks ago and was blown away!
