South Second: A Saz's Hospitality Group Property

Highlights/Lowlights1) amazing food2) staff that goes above and beyond3) modern and classy venueI can NOT say enough good things about South Second! We booked when the venue wasn't even done being constructed yet, so I have to be honest I was nervous going in since I relied on reviews for booking all of my other vendors, and obviously there were now reviews for South Second yet. I am SO thankful we went with South Second for our wedding reception. Michelle was absolutely incredible to work with. I had tons of ticky tacky questions and she helped me answer all of them, we had a last minute seating change that she accommodated quickly and professionally on the day of. We have gotten so many compliments on how fun and beautiful the venue was. I also can't even count how many people said it was some of the best food they've ever had at a wedding. This place and the staff are absolutely amazing.

I was extremely extremely disappointed by this venue. We called to try to get a tour of the facility for our upcoming wedding in 2019. Talked to Michelle on the phone and she was anything but easy to work with. My fiance and I both work 8am - 5pm Monday through Friday. She wouldn't allow us to come in after 5pm on the weekdays and she said that she wasn't available to tour the venue on a Saturday. I understand there are weddings but there are plenty of venues that fit us in well before the wedding that same day to accommodate us. We're very happy we didn't go with this venue because I would have worried what the rest of the communication would have been through the planning.

Ours was the first wedding at South Second, but you'd never have guessed it because the venue staff are such pros that everything went perfectly! From the beginning, working with Michelle on our contract and menu was fun and hassle-free. She had great suggestions to make our timeline and day-of logistics run smoothly. The space at South Second is excellent -- well designed and beautifully decorated. There was plenty of room for our 150 guests (plenty of room for many more guests, too...and if you have fewer guests, there are ways to divide up the space to make it feel more intimate). My bridesmaids and I loved having the Bride's Room to get ready in. The venue itself is very photogenic...our photographer got tons of great shots both inside and out, and lots of nice Cream City brick walls in the alley behind South Second -- so you can get your formal and informal wedding party photos without having to go far away, while your guests enjoy cocktail hour! Our guests had plenty of praise: from features of the venue itself (spacious mezzanine, awesome garage doors opening out onto the patio space, we even heard compliments on the nice bathrooms!) to the amazing food from Saz's Catering, to the friendly professionalism of all the staff working the event. We *loved* having our wedding at South Second!

I organized a corporate banquet dinner at South Second and could not have been happier with the event. Michelle was excellent to work with--from the menu and the layout to a few last minute day-of requests, she helped us with everything we needed to make the event run as smoothly as possible. The venue itself was beautiful as well, everyone raved about the space and we hope that we get to use it again for future events. Highly recommended, cannot say enough good things!

South Second is a FABULOUS venue for any kind of event. We just held a wedding reception there and without exception every one of our guests RAVED about the atmosphere/vibe, the FOOD, and the STAFF. Michelle, our coordinator, was incredible and there wasn't a single request of ours that she didn't handle immediately. The same is true for all of the team members there. If you are looking a great venue for ANY type OF event, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND South Second. You will not be disappointed...your expectations will be exceeded for sure!
