About this venue

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.

    The Eclectic Warehouse was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, the team was incredibly helpful, detailed, and caring in their communication. They were there to assist us with anything we needed and checked on us multiple times throughout the day to ensure everything was going smoothly. The quality of their work and the overall value they provided was fantastic - the space was beautifully decorated in a romantic, eclectic style that perfectly matched the vision we had for our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our marriage, and we highly recommend The Eclectic Warehouse to any couple looking for an unforgettable wedding experience.

    The Eclectic Warehouse was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication style was very elegant and gorgeous, making the planning process a breeze. The space itself is incredibly spacious and beautiful, and they contributed to our special day in so many wonderful ways. They were extremely helpful with anything we needed and made everything so easy. We couldn't have asked for a more family-friendly experience - the staff was amazing and truly went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. We are so grateful to the team at The Eclectic Warehouse for helping to make our wedding day an unforgettable celebration.

  • Beautiful venue; Forceful about insurance.

    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.

    Response from vendorAug 12, 2024
    We are happy that your wedding turned out to be “the best day of your lives”. Your happiness in the Eclectic Warehouse is very important to us and we do everything we can to make the experience easy and delightful. The alcohol policy I created with regards to a bartender and insurance is clear and simple but the amount of alcohol you serve determines whether you have to have a bartender and event insurance. To help you, we often discuss how your choice of how much alcohol you serve determines whether you are required to have a bartender or event insurance – there is a two drink limit before you have to purchase insurance. It is not uncommon for the bride and groom to not have made the final decision on alcohol until closer to the event. We explain our requirements in the contract, we explain it several times verbally, we give you a PDF prior to signing the contract that explains our guidelines in detail and if necessary, my assistant tracks to make sure the policy is secured. This requirement is for your protection as well as ours. The cost is minimal to purchase insurance (approximately $100 for under 100 guests) and we make no profit from it. It is a true third-party agreement. We realize that there is financial pressure on everybody and do our best to provide the best service at the lowest cost. This type of simple misunderstanding can be easily handled by a phone call. Our policy states that a professional bartender is required under certain circumstances and if your guests have access to over 2 drinks, event insurance is required. If our guests come up with a system to limit alcohol and we accept this system, then insurance is waived. Thank you for sharing your thoughts today; in the future we will continue to strive to make sure that everyone fully understands our policy. Again, thank you for choosing The Eclectic Warehouse for your wedding. We loved your wedding and look forward to working with you in the future. Aubrey Hornsby, Owner of The Eclectic Warehouse Venues
