Where History Meets Modern Elegance
Say “I Do” on the Banks of the Chattahoochee
Some venues host events, PowerHouse creates moments you’ll relive for the rest of your life. Perched directly on the banks of the Chattahoochee River in the heart of Uptown Columbus, PowerHouse Private Event Venue is where soaring brick walls and a storied industrial past meet sweeping river views, golden Georgia sunsets, and every modern comfort your celebration deserves.
Built in the late 1800s to power the largest textile mill in the South, this lovingly restored landmark now powers something far more memorable: weddings, receptions, rehearsal dinners, corporate gatherings, and celebrations of every kind. Exchange vows with whitewater rapids dancing behind you. Toast under string lights as the sun sinks over the river. Dance the night away in a space that no ballroom could ever imitate.
Beautiful, comfortable, and unmistakably one of a kind — PowerHouse is anything but ordinary.

Uptown Columbus
PowerHouse is part of the historic Eagle & Phenix, a beautifully restored cotton mill on the banks of the Chattahoochee — and your front-row seat to everything Uptown Columbus has to offer. Steps from the venue, the Chattahoochee RiverWalk winds along the water, and the river itself is home to the longest urban whitewater course in the world. Your guests can raft the rapids by day and stroll to dinner by night.
Uptown brims with Southern charm and big-city energy: the historic Springer Opera House, the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts, Columbus State University’s RiverPark campus, boutique shopping, and a thriving restaurant scene serving everything from elevated Southern fare to international cuisine — nearly all within walking distance. With hotels just blocks away, out-of-town wedding guests can enjoy a true destination weekend without ever needing a car. It’s the perfect backdrop for a wedding weekend your friends and family will never want to end.
