A gala needs a room with presence, charm, and intention. The Crystal Ballroom at Estate on Second delivers just that. Built in 1923, the ballroom has original chandeliers, exposed brick walls, tall Palladian windows, and the kind of architecture that makes people stop when they walk in. The space sets a tone that says ‘this matters’ before anyone reaches the podium.
With the ability to host up to 175 guests, The Estate on Second is perfect for fundraisers, nonprofit events, award ceremonies, holiday galas, and more. From the moody Speakeasy where cocktails are poured and hors d’oeuvres are enjoyed, to the grand Crystal Ballroom, the venue’s spaces work together throughout the evening providing exciting backdrops each step of the way.
The Estate on Second is operated by Jay's Catering, a third-generation, family-run business with over 50 years of experience in the catering and event industry. From the team of chefs cooking, garnishing, and plating your dinner to the event staff ensuring everything runs seamlessly, Jay’s provides an elevated, full-service culinary experience defined by craftsmanship, hospitality, and attention to detail.
