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 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!

Starwood II Farms is an amazing venue for any occasion or event you want to have. The views are spectacular. Very country, rustic, and homey. The people(humans and fur) are what makes the place the best ever. Emily and Blair are very friendly and professional. They become part of the family not just the venue host and coordinators. The fur babies are even there to help you along the way or just to play. I highly recommend this venue more for the people you gain in your life.

Awarded Best of Zola
This venue was everything I could have ever wanted and more! Sandy and her family were an absolute treasure! She was so inviting every time we were on the property. They made sure everything was set up to our liking including how I wanted the tables and chairs set up down to items being brought down to the ceremony. Their willingness to have the ceremony inside if the weather did not permit our dream outside wedding took so much stress off of me knowing I had a second option in moments notice. The venue is gorgeous and well cared for, you can truly tell they love what they do!
