Testimonials

We looked at so many venues and there is simply no place like Second in Manhattan, or the tri-state area in general for that matter! The space is SO unique, and all of our guests were blown away by how beautiful, urban chic, and - despite being quite large - intimate it felt!

The entire team were beyond professional and were so on top of every detail throughout the day/night. Could not have more more pleased! Looking forward to working together again soon!

—A. O'Elle
After attending several cool events at Second my wife and I decided to have our wedding and reception there. Top notch all the way around. Low hassle experience from start to finish. Friendly and courteous staff and of course great food by Chef Laurent Tourondel. Thank you Second for making the start of this marriage a memorable one!
—Jeremy
From start to finish, every detail was thought of. Staff were extremely nice and professional, food was amazing, drinks were flowing. Now I wanna redo my wedding one more time to enjoy it all over again.

Great wine, great food, and the DJ was dope. The venue itself is beautiful, it's an open concept large space with sections, and a nice outside rooftop setting. Great for socializing and networking.
