128 South

Having undergone extensive renovations in 2009, the 128 South venue has both historic charm and modern amenities. Our open floor plan includes a 2nd floor mezzanine overlooking the central lower level. This layout offers a particularly charming gathering space where each of your guests can truly engage in the event activities. We are large enough to comfortably accommodate a cocktail reception for 180 people, but cozy enough for an exclusive private dinner.

    We had our ceremony and reception at Bakery 105 and used 128 South for catering. Throughout the planning process Jordan and Katie were so quick and responsive, providing all the answers we needed! We changed our mind many times and they were so accommodating. 128 S does group tastings which is such a great concept! You truly get to see before your wedding day how capable their chefs are of making a meal on a large scale and how attentive all of their service staff and bartenders are. The entire tasting experience put me at ease for the day of! 5 stars is not enough for the professionalism and clarity of communication from the venue/catering services.
