Located in the heart of Milwaukee’s lively Walker’s Point neighborhood, South Second perfectly blends historic character with modern style. Once an industrial warehouse, the venue honors its roots with exposed brick and steel beams while opening up to the energy of the city around it. The addition of an outdoor patio and bar gives guests the best of both worlds—urban charm and fresh, open-air ambiance.
The South Second team curates seamless, elevated events that embrace Milwaukee’s spirit of celebration. Whether you’re hosting a romantic ceremony, elegant reception, or cocktail-style soirée, this venue offers a stylish, versatile backdrop that feels both modern and timeless.
The talented team at Saz’s Catering manages every event at South Second with professionalism and heart. From expert planning guidance to delicious menus and customizable decor, they go above and beyond to make each celebration seamless and personal.
As photographers, we love the variety this space offers—from the architectural textures indoors to the lively energy of the outdoor patio, every moment feels authentic and full of personality.
