It was very easy to communicate with Aubrey and Shari. They made the process very easy. Everything went great for my son's wedding. This is a perfect place for a smaller wedding size.

The Eclectic Warehouse is a wedding venue located in Eclectic, AL. Best Value! The historic Eclectic Warehouse speaks to authentic elegance, beauty, and grace through its extraordinary starry lights, massive heart-pine timbers, high ceilings, hand-made red brick walls, and comfortable grassy lawns. Natural light through antique glass makes it a photographer’s dream. With over 500 weddings to date, this 10,000 square foot venue has won the heart of the entire river region. Amenities include tables, chairs, drapes, lighting, a stage, a bride’s room, staging furniture, a lighted outdoor deck, a kitchen, three bathrooms, and a courtyard (perfect for an outdoor wedding and an indoor reception!). The 8,000 square foot main room easily accommodates both the ceremony and the reception with plenty of room for all the traditional wedding stations, including food service, DJ, cake, photography booth, memory table, intimate seating vignettes, and more. Your wedding and reception can start at $2600 for one day for 100 guests - the best value in Alabama for all this incredible space. The decorating options are endless, but our brides tell us that our venue is so beautiful that no additional decorating is necessary!

Aubrey Hornsby

Owner

Aubrey grew up in Pensacola and Eclectic before studying at Vanderbilt and producing events in Nashville. He has been an investment banker, community developer, fisherman and farmer. Now he is enjoying being a part of the revitalization of rural America in Eclectic, Alabama. He converted the warehouse (built by his greatgrandfather Thomas for his greatgrandfather Hornsby) into an event center and wedding venue about 20 years ago.

roomsmen enjoyed staying together at the Pond Cabin, and the house on the lake was more than enough room for our bridal party. Our photographers loved having the pond and downtown Eclectic as a backdrop for our various photos, and the Sycamore Courtyard (behind the Warehouse) was the perfect location for our outdoor fall ceremony. I cannot recommend this venue enough!!! We knew immediately that this was the right choice for us, and Aubrey and Shari made it an absolute dream every step of the way.

well in advance. There’s a full kitchen which was not only used by our caterer but by us to make a brunch on our wedding day. Plenty of restrooms, tables and chairs and ample space for our event. Lovely architectural accents were easy to incorporate into the wedding theme. Wonderful all in one Wedding/Reception venue. The bridal suite was so comfortable. I just can’t say enough good about this venue. The pricing was more than affordable for any bride. I highly recommend it.

As a wedding planner you don't necessarily love every venue your clients choose, but I can honestly say I loved my experience at The Eclectic Warehouse! The owner Aubrey Hornsby an...

d his assistant Shari were extremely helpful and super easy to work with. My clients were able to visit The Warehouse several times, even a couple days before the wedding. Mr Hornsby checked in on the wedding day to make sure we had everything we needed and knew where all the plugs and switches were. While we only used The Warehouse property we were able to tour all of the properties and they are all wonderful. Each property offers something different and something for all budgets. The Eclectic Warehouse is a beautiful setting with tons of charm and character. Exposed brick walls, fairy lights and antique furniture create the perfect mood. You have several options for both your ceremony and reception. You can also use the back deck and garden space for pictures or your wedding if you are looking for an intimate outdoor setting! They have chairs and tables there for you to use for the ceremony and reception, you do not have to stress with renting and pick up. They do offer set up as well for a fee. The Eclectic Warehouse offers kitchen facilities, several restrooms and a dedicated brides suite. My only wish would be for a second suite for the groom, second bride or other members of the wedding party. I highly recommend The Eclectic Warehouse for your wedding, you will not be disappointed!

Most of our grooms like to rent The Pond Cabin in order to get ready. It is an adorable li...

ttle cabin in the woods sitting on a pond (yes, with fish!). The rental hours are generous and it is meant to support our wedding venues. It has a small kitchen, living room, bathroom and a loft. Add a garden, a fire pit and, at night, beautiful stars above through the opening of the trees - a little slice of heaven!

on. When I walked in for the first time on my wedding day, with all of my tables and flowers set up, it literally took my breath away. They always responded quickly to any random question I had, and let me tour the venue several times before my day. Don’t hesitate to snag this place!!

Kandis B

This venue is gorgeous and very spacious, especially for the price. I really wanted the industrial look but without the ridiculous prices some of the venues in Birmingham charge. T...

here was plenty of room for the food, cakes, tables and chairs, plus the dance floor. I had several people reach out to me about how much they loved the venue. The lights strung up everywhere ensured we had good lighting in all our photos and really made it feel magical. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5/5 is the lack of space for the groom. My husband and our groomsmen had to go to a storage area in an adjacent building to get ready. They complained about the heat of the room and disorganization. We certainly couldn’t take any getting ready pics there.

I used the warehouse in July 2020 (reschedule from June 2020) and Mr. Hornsby was VERY accommodating throughout the process. Overall we loved being there. During the rehersal dinne...

r I was asked if he could show another couple the venue. I checked with my in-laws and they were fine with it! WEDDING DAY I showed up early to do a few things and I was caught off guard but a couple and the brides parents. They were told to come tour the venue on the DAY OF MY WEDDING! While any normal time I would have zero issues I was not happy that this was thrown on me and that he would think it was ok to show to venue while my other venders were working on setting up. There was a few "unclean" spots where there was mold on the tables in the kitchen. Once Mr. Hornsby knew this he called his crew and they came to clean again! Also be ready to have extra guest!! I had a family (not sure if they are related to Mr. Hornsby or not) show up and party with us neither me or my husband or our parents knew who they were -- drank alcohol and ate dinner. While of course this wasn't an issue because we did have plenty I just found it VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! Mr. Hornsby sat with them and talked with them the entire time and this is what makes me think he invited them. Like I said overall it was great and I would use them again just would have a better contract so I wouldn't have any crashers.

Response from The Eclectic Warehouse

Thank you for this feedback. We appreciate your comments. The owner told me that those peo...

ple that he was talking to said that they were friends of one of your guests or of a vendor but they were not an acquaintance of Mr. Hornsby. They were from Pensacola and he was visiting with them because he lived in Pensacola at one time. It is unfortunate that someone was allowed in to your wedding without being invited. We dislike crashers as much as anyone but we are unable to police that. Also, we do not ever intend to show the facility when it is being rented but it certainly happened to you and we apologize for that. We are happy that overall you enjoyed your time there. We always strive to make our venue a perfect and memorable experience for our guests because we really care. Blessings, Assistant to Mr. Hornsby

utiful loving soul, he was so welcoming that i personally invited him to share in our happy day.. The venues that we used: The warehouse, the cottage and pond cabin were absolutely stunning. There are so many photo ops in these places, it a photographer's dream. Please consider The Eclectic Warehouse for your wedding, you will be glad you did.
