The Illges House was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! From the very first interaction, Kim was so kind, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the entire process. The venue itself is simply stunning - classy, historic, clean, and high-end in every way. They worked incredibly well with all of our other vendors to ensure everything looked and felt beautiful. Kim was so understanding and gave the best advice and recommendations for making the most of the house. The entire experience was just so fun and exciting.

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.

The Eclectic Warehouse was the perfect spot for us! There is so much already done with this venue that it makes the set up and tear down process so easy! Aubrey was easy to work with and him and Shari were accommodating any time we requested to stop by. The venue has so much furniture included that we did not need to rent any additional furniture for our wedding. The space is large, open, clean, and makes for beautiful ambiance with the twinkle lights already strung. My husband loved the bourbon barrels and the rustic atmosphere. I’m so happy we booked the Warehouse!
