The Mulehouse

The Mulehouse is a live music and event venue in downtown Columbia, Tennessee, set within a restored historic church. Its characterful architecture, stained glass and art deco theatre provide a distinctive setting for organisers looking to host concerts, weddings, company functions, private celebrations, charity events or photo and video shoots.

The venue offers several spaces that can be hired individually or combined. The main theatre has a raised stage, professional sound and lighting, a balcony and a VIP area. It can be arranged for seated performances, dinner-style events or standing audiences, with capacity varying by layout. Dawson Hall provides an open-plan room with hardwood floors and natural light, suitable for dinners and larger gatherings. Smaller options include a lounge with a bar and relaxed seating, backstage and green-room areas, and an outdoor courtyard with string lighting.

For weddings, the venue offers exclusive-use packages that include access to its event spaces, tables, chairs and tablecloths, venue sound and lighting, parking, and support from a venue liaison. The bridal suite and groom’s lounge give wedding parties dedicated spaces to prepare, while the courtyard can be used for photographs, drinks or an outdoor moment during the day. Organisers can also ask about catering, bar, floral, entertainment and other add-on options. The Mulehouse’s combination of performance facilities and adaptable rooms makes it suitable for both audience-led productions and privately organised events.
