Amazing Milwaukee Venue

We loved having our reception at South Second! Michelle was amazing to work with and was so patient with us. The venue is the perfect industrial vibe and the loft is a great space for people to relax and hang out. The all inclusive package is the best, so much is included and it made planning so easy. You also can’t go wrong with having Saz’s catering, it’s by far the best wedding food I’ve had!

Michelle and the entire Saz's staff was great to work with. Michelle was professional, flexible, and timely when responding to our questions and concerns. Our wedding reception was held at South Second and it was FANTASTIC! People are still commenting on how spectacular the venue was. The venue was so unique we decorated it minimally and it was still stunning the night of the wedding. We had 170 people the night of the wedding and it was not over crowded. The staff, food, and venue exceeded our expectations. I would recommend South Second and Saz's to anyone looking for a unique and fun venue.

Such a perfect day! My wedding went along without a hitch, and everything was perfect. The food was amazing, the staff was excellent and Michelle (my Coordinator) knocked it out of the park. I could not have asked for a more perfect place to get married!!

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!
