South Second - A Saz's Hospitality Group Property

osts, what was included, etc. South Second had everything outlined and detailed clearly, was willing to share that information with us, and could answer our questions easily and quickly. There were no hidden costs or surprises for us. It took away a lot of our stress. 2) Working with Michelle was so wonderful. She was easy to reach, and she worked with us to get the best value for what we wanted. Not to mention she worked well with our day of coordinator and vendors. 3) THE FOOD! I can’t tell you how many compliments we received on all the food. I’m still dreaming about our late night appetizer station, which the staff made sure we got some of after mingling with our guests. This leads to 4) The staff. Hands down incredible. Our guests felt attended to when they arrived, and my husband and I were taken care of as well. Michelle and servers made sure we had what we wanted to drink and that we didn’t go hungry. South second is the perfect venue if you’re looking for the downtown, urban vibe without the exorbitant price tag. Multiple times throughout the night my husband and I just looked around and soaked in how perfectly our vision was captured. Our day was nothing short of perfect and South Second/Michelle/The Sazs Team was a huge reason for that. Thank you!!

ou’re looking for a beautiful, clean, friendly staff with great food— this is your place!

space is beautiful and great for 200 people size wedding. We loved being able to add to the back drop and the upstairs loft area was great for people when they needed a break! If we were getting married again I would 110% go back to them.

ding. We loved that everything was included so it was one stop shopping for venue, linens, food, beverages, and a day of coordinator. We got many compliments from our guests on how awesome the venue was. We even got to take advantage of the gorgeous October weather by opening the garage doors for cocktail hour. 10/10 would recommend hosting an event at south second!

ue, the food, the wait staff, the bartenders. Everyone really enjoyed themselves, thanks to Saz's hospitality!

l IN LOVE with South Second!!! Michelle was super helpful during our first visit walking us through the different packages & helping put our ideas into the space we have. Brielle was our onsite contact on Wedding day and she was so sweet and helpful! We received so many compliments on the venue, the set up & the food! Thank you South Second team!!

the food! Make sure to order the mac and cheese!

ncredible. 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!!

ichelle who was a great partner through this process.

e day of our reception - the food was on point. We were a bit nervous about COVID and had our guests wear masks, and all the staff wore masks as well, which was reassuring. We kept the garage doors open as long as we could, which also helped with airflow. One staff member found me while wondering the venue greeting people to make sure I was done with my meal - it was so thoughtful. Katie helped us adjust a few things for the bar, including adding a limited amount of 2 specialty cocktail drinks, and really allowed us to fit within our budget. Simple, elegant, great food. Highly recommend.

h easier and smoother throughout the process. All of our friends and family couldn't stop raving about how great the venue looked and it was perfect for you to really make it your own. On top of that, all of our guests commented that the food was one of the best they have ever tasted at the wedding. Pair that up with a wonderful coordinator to work with (Katie) and the wedding process was incredibly smooth..even during COVID :). Katie was extremely easy to work with, she has so much experience, always was clear and communicative with her follow through and provided recommendations and guidance throughout the entire process. What's not to love too about the late night Saz's sampler platter?! We absolutely loved working with South Second, Saz's and Katie and we would highly recommend you hosting your event here.

ggestions. From the tour to the tasting (both impacted by Covid) to the rehearsal and everything in between, I was so impressed with how supportive and professional the team was. Katie really made it easy on us and the final product was more than I could have ever imagined! Not to mention that you can't go wrong with Saz's catering... who doesn't love late night mozz sticks and cheese curds? Highly recommend!

re full on wedding day. The venue is gorgeous, the food was delicious and the staff were incredible. We can't recommend this place enough!

f planning all the way to our wedding day. The location, layout, food, bar, and all the accommodations in between, we couldn't have asked for a better place to host all our closest family and friends!

ess and all of our guests were so complimentary about the food and drinks - many of whom told us the food was the best they had ever ate at a wedding! I wouldn't hesitate to host another event at South Second and would recommend it to anyone planning a wedding!

I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a venue!

gazine”! 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.

mendations as we needed them and was always responsive. We chose to do the ceremony with guests at reception tables with an aisle of chairs for close family and it was wonderful! The staff is fantastic - so friendly, thoughtful, and attentive! They even placed a plate with 2 of each of the appetizers in the bridal suite so that my husband and I could try them all during cocktail hour. The food was AMAZING and our guests were raving about it (still are!) The late night pretzel bar was also a huge hit. Overall, I would 10000% recommend South Second and Saz’s! They go above and beyond at every step and made our day so magical.

ING! Got so many compliments from our guests. WONDERFUL Food; GREAT prices! Working with Saz's made our covid-wedding a whole lot less stressful :)

tion set up in the loft and being able to go outside on their patio to enjoy the fall evening. We never expected what 2020 would have turned out to be, but Michelle was always available for any question we had as restrictions were implemented and changes needed to be made to make our event safe. Having Michelle as a resource was amazing and she is definitely the reason our wedding went off without a hitch! Thank you Michelle and staff for such a great experience! Do not hesitate to book South Second for your event - you won't regret it!

. While it felt like the world was falling apart, Michelle assured us that our wedding day would be everything we dreamed of and more. She did not disappoint! The South Second team made sure our day felt like the "original" plan with some special additions. I could not have asked for a better team to plan a wedding with, let alone in the middle of a pandemic!

nd the venue looked amazing. My family has a lot of dietary restrictions and they were beyond accommodating. We got so many compliments on the food! Michelle checked in with me personally many times throughout the night to make sure my glass and stomach were full and even brought out more “Wisconsin Lollipops” when I hadn’t had enough. At one point, a glass broke and a staff member got his mop out on the dance floor and busted a move. It was hilarious! Our reception was everything I could have dreamed of and more!

still dream about the Arctic Char that was served. From start to finish South Second made us feel special and went above and beyond. On the day of Michelle was there to make sure that everything went off without a hitch. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone, as they will ensure your day is wonderful.

helle always got back to me in no time! My wedding day was a dream come true!

cult year with A LOT of uncertainty. Katie and Michelle were so helpful along the way. We could not have done it without them, and I am so thankful for all their help. Definitely put South Second and Saz's at the top of your wedding venue list!
