Best Wedding Venue!!!
My wife and I got married at South Second this November. I cannot put into words how amazing everyone and everything was. Michelle was very responsive and always there to answer our questions throughout the whole process. Our guests are still raving about how amazing the food was and how beautiful the venue was. The bartenders and waitstaff were OUTSTANDING. If we could get married again, we would do it here!!! -

I cannot say enough good things about South Second and the team who manages it! The venue is so beautiful and versatile - we went minimal with florals and decorations for our wedding and it still looked stunning, and our pictures all came out incredible. The space is wonderful, but the staff are what really makes this place shine. I worked with Katie for over a year and a half, from a few states away, and I never lost confidence that our day was going to be perfect. She was so easy to get a hold of, and really helped me with making sure that all of the details were thought through and organized. The day of went so smoothly, partially because the staff are so professional and efficient, partially because of all the preplanning that Katie organized.
I had booked this place without seeing it in person, and I wasn't able to do a meal tasting, but it literally didn't matter. All of our guests are still raving about the food! We had a lot of different food allergies to take into account, and they were so accommodating and careful with how they served, that everyone was able to enjoy their meal with confidence.
I really could keep raving about this place, and what a joy it was to work with them. Weddings are big and expensive and important, and I know that ours was such a success because of all the amazing people that we got to work with, and the fact that they all genuinely cared about us. One million percent recommend South Second!! -

My husband and I got married at South Second this last November and it was wonderful. Michelle was so so helpful with every question we had about the planning process and laid everything out for us so we knew exactly what to expect the day of. The catering and bar staff were outstanding, they were super attentive and very nice. My grandmother, who needs a walker to get around, told me a week later that she was so impressed with all the staff because they remembered her name all night and would bring her food etc so she wouldn't have to get up herself to go to the buffet or get dessert. The venue itself is so beautiful, it's very modern and industrial. This was our first choice just based off of the pics when we were searching venues, so we were super excited to get a date here. You won't go wrong with South Second!

I have loved working with Michelle and South Second since day one! Being able to tour the space while it was still being completed and see the final product come together was awesome. Each event I attend or coordinate has been fantastic, with the entire staff always incredibly friendly and helpful. I look forward to the upcoming events at South Second this year!
As a wedding DJ you get to try all the food from all the caterers. Saz's consistently has friendly service, outstanding organization and great food. We love doing events with Saz's.
