I serve on the Board of Directors for a national trade organzation, While deciding on a venue to host our anual holiday party. I was lucky enough to stumble upon Jay Adrian and his staff. After speaking with Jay, It was obvious that we book his club. The event was formal and many of New Englands finest Designers were in attendance. The evening was smashing success. Jay and his team made me a look as though I have been planing formal events for years. Not a single detail was overlooked. It has been 4 months and I am still getting pats on the back. Karl Ivester
