The traditional Jazz brunch gets a unique twist this year where YOU will be the center of entertainment (can’t wait to reveal what we’re cooking up). Guests will enjoy a plated meal style breakfast buffet complete with carving stations, desserts, attentive service, on site vendors, and more. Then, the DJ makes sure we all leave the weekend with zero energy! The final party with a purpose.
