The Eclectic Warehouse 

4.7

Eclectic, AL
  • Up to 400 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,500

For over 90 years, The Warehouse has been at the center of Eclectic life. Built in 1928 for Lee Hornsby, the property has been in the family since the 1880s. It held commercial activity for cotton merchandising, lumber and hardware for 3 generations. In 1996, Aubrey Hornsby repurposed it as a social/cultural center. Its massive timbers, red brick walls, old-south charm, natural architectural comfort and grassy lawns inspire down-home livability. It has hosted The Alabama Cotton Festival, church/school events, concerts, theater, receptions and parties. Corporations have used it for photo shoots and as a sound stage. We have held over 600 events including 350 weddings. Upholding the historical structure, improvements have been made to ensure comfort and ease.

Had our wedding at this venue Summer of 2024. The owner was a sweetheart and walked us around each of the event spaces before we chose this one. He was clear on us not needing to have event insurance or a bartender as long as we kept the available alcohol to a minimum. Can use all our own vendors for food and entertainment. Awesome pricing compared to other local event spaces. The issue we ran into was with the assistant. She kept pushing us to purchase vent insurance; emailed and called several times about it. To the point where it almost seemed like it was "policy" to purchase it. BUT IT ISNT. But because of the persistent calling/nagging about the event insurance (less than 80 people total mind you) we ended up purchasing it to please her and stop all the questions. Waisted the 100 dollars. The event space was beautiful; and everything was awesome the day of the wedding. We just wanted there to be less nagging about purchasing stuff that we did not have to purchase. We were managing a tight budget with our wedding; and the pressure to buy stuff we didn't have to have was annoying and upsetting. The owner made it seem like no big deal and that it was totally up to us if we wanted to hire out a bartender/ insurance. The assistant asked about it EVERY TIME WE TALKED; always "hey just reminding you about the event insurance" and every time I would ask if it was now required to get it. She would say not but then would give all the reasons to have it. Even when a family member made a payment on the venue (helped us cover half the cost) she got a email back about the alcohol policy and event insurance. Resulting in further confusion and upset. Didn't seem like she was gonna stop until she had it her way. When it comes to wedding planning you are already balancing several things; last thing you want to do is deal with a assistant who keep pushing you to buy something; acting as if you HAVE to when you DONT. Still; the best day of our lives. Wouldn't change a thing about the day of. Just wish she would have not added to the stress leading up to it.
