Wonderful Beautiful Venue

I’ve attended multiple events here at The Jefferson and each one has been professional and welcoming. From a formal event to a canning 101 class to a line dancing class- this place does it all with grace. I’m looking forward to the holiday events coming up. Keep up the great work!
