The venue

A landmark, reimagined.

M2 is a historic theater two blocks from the ocean in South Beach's Art Deco District, rebuilt for modern events with world-class sound, lighting and LED throughout.

Five distinct spaces across three levels can be booked individually or combined, so the building can host a 20-person board meeting in the morning and a 2,000-guest gala that night. Our in-house team handles production, staffing and security from first walkthrough to last guest.
