The team at South Second was exceptional. I decided on this venue well over a year before my actual wedding date. Amber and Michelle made it super easy to see the venue, ask questions and change anything around. They both were super nice and accommodating. I love having the venue and catering all in one, which made it super easy. The one month meeting was very fluid and organized, given that I was an indecisive and last minute bride. I appreciated their patience overall.
One draw back was that with our rental we were allowed in the venue at 2pm, which was later than I wanted but my amazing florist and family made everything work.
Once we arrived on site, South Second had everything ready to go. Our day of coordinator Gabby was AWESOME!! She checked on me constantly, asked if we needed anything and any questions or request I had they went above and beyond to try and fulfill. I am grateful that while I was stressing out like crazy in my head, their team was very organized and just knew what to do. The partial flip of the room was very seamless and clean up was a breeze. Overall I had a beautiful wedding. Thank you South Second! -

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! -

We had our reception in October 2021! Michelle & the Saz’s team was absolutely amazing! The venue is absolutely amazing! We also did a customized menu with food stations. All of our guests raved about the food & service! Saz’s truly went above & beyond to make sure our day was amazing. I cannot compliment Saz’s enough for their service & quality that we received. -

South Second was everything we envisioned (and more) for our wedding ceremony and reception venue. Michelle was wonderful to work with and helped the entire process go smoothly. She answered any questions we had during planning and always made sure our drinks were full on wedding day. The venue is gorgeous, the food was delicious and the staff were incredible. We got so many compliments from our guests. We can't recommend this place enough! -

South Second and the Saz’s hospitality group completely EXCEEDED our expectations. We got married on 5/22/21 and the day was a dream. My husband kept repeating all night, “I can’t believe this is our wedding, it looks like something out of a magazine”! Our guests had only raving reviews of the food, drink, and atmosphere. I got a lot of comments from guests saying, “I’ve never been to a wedding that fed me so well” and “this was the best venue I’ve ever been to”. I am not a huge planner and the idea of planning a wedding stressed me out so much. That is until I started working with Michelle. She truly is a godsend. She kept me organized throughout the entire process and was incredibly efficient and professional. I was worried about set up/moment to moment things day of and she handled them all with grace and if there was a little chaos my guest knew nothing. We are so happy we chose this venue and it will be the most beautiful memory to look back on. -

Beautiful Venue, Amazing Staff, Unbelievable Food
We could not imagine a more perfect day. Our wedding was everything we dreamed it would be and more. The Saz's staff made everything so easy and I don't think the day could have run any smoother. 4 months later and guests are still raving about the food! -

If you are looking for a wedding venue that creates a wonderful experience for you and your guests South Second is the place for you. The team is filled with absolute pros, which is a Godsend for me who is far from a professional party planner. We worked with Michelle, and she helped us figure out timing, coordinated rentals for stages, and ensured our wedding went off without a hitch the night of.
One of the reasons I love South Second is because they make everything so easy. Working with them will cut your vendor list in half. They handle the food (which was the best wedding food I have ever had), the tables, the bar, and have relationships with all of the top vendors in Milwaukee.
The other reason I love South Second and the Saz's team is we originally scheduled our date 6/6/20. With COVID they gave us the flexibility to move it to 8/15/20 and then again to 7/31/21. COVID was a very stressful time for the wedding industry to say the least and everyone we spoke to there handled it with grace, kindness, and professionalism.
If you are a bride and groom that wants a relaxing wedding experience that you know your guests and you will love choose South Second! -

We were absolutely blown away by how perfect South Second made the day go. All of the staff were friendly and focused on the details. The food was phenomenal and we received many compliments. The space itself is very cool. We had both our ceremony and reception in succession at South Second. Their team flipped the room flawlessly to the point where it was hardly even noticed. South Second had special touches as well, including a champagne bottle ready in the wedding party suite, a lovely staff member to help the bride with filling her plate in order to not spill on her dress, and staff that brought over appetizers and desserts to the bride and groom, as they knew they were busy mingling and may have missed out otherwise. 100% happy with South Second and you will be too should you choose to book them. -

The perfect spot for our day!
We chose South Second as our wedding venue this August for a couple of reasons but the main one was we just absolutely loved the space. A HUGE added bonus is that the catering is automatically done by Saz's so thats one less choice you have to worry about in the millions of wedding choices you have. And boy are we glad we made this choice. We got SO many compliments on the beautiful venue, but even more on the mashed potatoes (highly recommend those!) Michelle was super helpful and responsive to our 100 questions. The staff was so kind and friendly on the night of our wedding and everything went perfectly. We would recommend South Second to anyone looking to host a killer party! 10/10 would recommend! -

Michelle Anderson and the Saz's team 100% exceeded mine and my groom's expectations! They saw our vision and made it come to life. We cannot rave enough about how fun the night was.
We selected the "I Do" package which included hand-passed and a table spread of hors d'oeuvres, passed champagne, a call open bar package, table wine service, plated meals served with bread and salad, and late night food. It was perfect! Food is delicious and portioned well. We enjoyed each part of the package - so worth it!
The venue comes with a cool mezzanine, bridal suite, and patio for extra space. The vibe is very modern and industrial which allows for flexible canvas for all of your creative details.
The Saz's team also works so well with other vendors! This is super important when coordinating many moving parts. What a dream team - just.. wow! -

We just got married at South Second on 8-3-19 and we’re soooo happy we chose South Second. The space was beautiful and chic. We wanted a low-key, minimal wedding ceremony and because the space is so beautiful, we didn’t need to do very many decorations. Michelle was incredibly patient and accommodating with my many requests, changes, and opinions. Food and bar were both amazing. All of the staff were professional, warm, and responsive. Totally recommend. -
