PLANNING AN EVENT
Are "event planners" required for events at SECOND?
Short answer: Yes. We do require planners, as they are a crucial part in making any event a success. If you would like to reserve our space and do not have a planner, please let us know we’d be happy to recommend one for you.
How far in advance can I book my event?
SECOND is available to be booked one year in advance of the current year.
For example, if it's currently 2022 and you're looking for any date in 2023, you will be able to book. However, if you're looking for 2024, that date would not be available until the start of 2023.
Can I use my own vendors?
Yes. We offer key benefits and/or partnerships with top planners, florists, entertainers, and more, via our PREFERRED VENDOR PAGE.
However, we do not require that you use those vendors.
Do you offer coat check?
Yes. Coat check is mandatory for all events at SECOND, regardless of time of year, including coats or bags. Please see your sales manager for more details.
Do you offer Security?
Yes. Security is mandatory for all events at SECOND, regardless of guest count or event type. Please see your sales manager for more details.
WEDDINGS & MILESTONES
Do you have a ceremony space, or just reception spaces?
Depending on the size of the wedding, we have a few options for ceremony and reception areas. Our team will be happy to find the best layout that fits your needs.

These needs are addressed on a case-by-case basis with your sales coordinator.
