A Fall Taste of Jay’s at The Estate on Second

November 4, 2019

A crisp fall evening welcomed our most recent Taste of Jay’s at The Estate on Second. After a warm greeting from our Event Specialists, guests walked into the Crystal Ballroom at our beautiful colonial wedding venue where candles added to the already romantic atmosphere sitting atop tables, at food stations and around the sweetheart table. Trays of Pork Belly Steamed Buns, Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons with Bearnaise Sauce and Fig, Goat Cheese and Mascarpone Tarts were being tray passed as guests made their way to each food station. Downstairs, our Tri-Tip Carvery, Pasta Station, Chicken Station, Slider Station and Dessert Station were serving up mouth-watering meats, saucy pasta dishes and sinfully sweet treats. Upstairs in The Attic and on The Terrace, our Craft Cocktail Bar, Taco Station, Flatbread Station, Melt Station and Poke Station attracted guests craving something a little more nontraditional for their special event.

A big thank you to our amazing photographer for the evening, Cait and Co. Photo, for capturing all our delicious and most loved food and beverage offerings.
