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 1000 events including 600 weddings. Upholding the historical structure, improvements have been made to ensure comfort and ease.

The Eclectic Warehouse is an excellent venue. Aubrey and Shari are so kind, and very informative. There were no cost surprises, or difficulties working with them. Our first and only daughter getting married, and our experience was excellent! Their venue is breathtaking. The Woodlands was peaceful and beautiful, it was beyond our expectations. There are some logistics to figure out, but our day of wedding coordinator did her job so well, everything was smooth. The Warehouse is beautiful and set a warm ambiance. This venue is worth looking at and most definitely worth booking! You won't be disappointed.

My husband and I were very particular with our wedding venue choice and we could not be happier. As wedding photographers and videographers ourselves, we could not recommend a better option to any couples looking. Not only is the venue itself beautiful and peaceful, but hiring the manager Amanda to coordinate our wedding was the best decision we could have made for our wedding. When we were on the hunt for a venue, our priority was to find a safe space for our wedding party, friends, and family belonging to the LGBTQIA and BIPOC communities. We did not want any person feeling unsafe or singled out on our wedding day. Having this confirmed and reassured that the venue and Amanda were inclusive made everyone’s experience phenomenal. In addition to this, it was difficult finding a place that wasn’t rustic or a barn. Many of the locations that aren’t barns also didn’t fit our vibe or they were unaffordable. For this venue, you get the best of both worlds: an elegant location that also feels like home, all while being affordable with excellent payment plans available. We received so many compliments on this location from so many different people. Whether it was the elderly family members or young friends, everyone was so impressed with the space and amazed by the ballroom for the reception. The layout of the space made it so easy for a seamless day. Amanda provided insight and assistance for everything we needed and our vendors loved her. Our wedding gallery could not be more perfect, because of this space and her hard work. This is now the top venue that we recommend to our couples! We are excited to continue to come back to capture more love stories at Mountain View Gardens and Ballroom and maintain a connection with Amanda for future couples.

Whispering Winds was a dream come true for me. Their team handles all of the decorating, the arch, the tables, the chairs, everything there is included in their package. Tracey is also so kind. We texted back and forth forever about different questions I had, the vision I had, coordinating with the vendors. It’s like having a wedding coordinator, a florist, and a venue all in one. She was even a collaborator on a Pinterest page and she made my Pinterest dreams come to life. Can recommend this place enough!

It was beautiful and amazing! They provided the decor in our colors which was nice, and I was able to send the maid of honor and my mom over to decorate the tables with our own items. They did have a strict policy of not hanging anything off the ceiling which was fine for us. We went with their all-inclusive package and Patti and Jade were very responsive to our questions, the ceremony at the beach was perfect (but HOT) and the reception ran smoothly. If I were to do it over again I would probably have everyone park at the venue and rent a party bus to take us to the beach and back, some of our older guests got confused driving in Orange Beach and were late. Can't comment on the catering, we brought our own food because my sister is a chef but they did staff our buffet line without issue. Definitely would recommend.

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!

I used this restaurant for my rehearsal dinner the night before my wedding in November 2025 and it was perfect. They had great communication and were willing to let us order from the entire menu when we kept our party below 20 people and chose our appetizers ahead of schedule. The waitresses were so kind and attentive, all the food tasted great, and the space we got to use was sectioned off and private (with a big enough screen to show the Alabama game of course), perfect for a rehearsal dinner! I would highly recommend using the Culinary Dropout for any dinner event.

Let me just start by saying: HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE. You will not regret it. Period. Sherill and Susie have a carefully thought-out process and it works like a well-oiled machine. You always have a line of communication for any questions (I asked TONS and never felt like a bother); you have sheets to fill out to prepare you for each step of the planning process. There are two official planning meetings, the first one is around 2-3 hours (really depends on how much you have/haven't set in stone) and the second is a 30-minute-ish phone call to narrow down any final details. Sherill guides you through one step at a time while Susie takes notes to ensure your vision comes true. And the most important part: wedding day. Every single detail was taken care of on wedding day; I literally didn’t have to worry about anything but drinking water, smiling, and trying not to slouch (lol) Skye was our coordinator, and she is phenomenal. She was so kind, approachable, and detailed. Florals and DJ were awesome. Dinner was hot and yummy. Cake was delicious and exactly what we wanted. Bartender was so friendly. The packages at the Chapel are an amazing value and the prices are exactly as they say. We chose the exceptional package and had the most magical day. I would redo our wedding here a million times before I even thought about going elsewhere. An all-inclusive venue is the best choice you can make. We are SO glad we chose Wedding Chapel on the Mountain. We will be forever grateful to Sherill, Susie, Skye, and every other professional at the Chapel who had an impact on our wedding!!!

On our big day, they went above and beyond by helping with setup and even lighting our candles during the ceremony transition. What really impressed us was their approach to vendors—you can choose who you want to work with as long as they're licensed and certified, which gave us the freedom we needed. The venue itself has the perfect amount of southern charm without feeling overdone. Trust me, you won't regret choosing Oris and Oak for your wedding day.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Rustic Pine Farms! From the moment we arrived, we knew this was the perfect place to say “I do.” The venue is breathtaking—surrounded by towering pine trees, rolling fields, and the most charming rustic barn that made for stunning wedding photos. The outdoor ceremony space was picture-perfect, and the barn was spacious, beautifully designed, and full of character—exactly what we envisioned for our reception. The handcrafted farmhouse tables and seating for 200 made everything feel so warm and inviting. The bridal cottage was a dream! It was fully furnished, cozy, and the perfect spot to relax and get ready before walking down the aisle. The entire venue felt private and intimate, making our day feel so special. The owners were incredible to work with—so kind, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our wedding day flawless. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect.
