“A note to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this milestone extra special. The Roosevelt Library and your meticulous attention was noticed and loved by all. I will never forget the fun and love I felt on that day. Thank you for providing such a spectacular setting and party.”
“Thank you always for your creative staging, last night was a spectacular opening to the (Musical Bridges Around the World Impresario Club) season thanks to the beautiful, timeless space you have created!”
“The wedding reception was all we hoped it would be. We received so many sincere compliments from our guests about all the wonderful details that come with being hosted in your home. There is truly no other place like your home in town. A thousand thanks again for your thoughtful manner and your talent in making such a wonderful event.
Please pass on our thanks also to Chef Steven. The food was amazing. Everything he knows about sourcing the ingredients, preparing the dishes, presenting them beautifully was evident that night. It was all delicious but in particular, the meat was perfection and the veggies were done exactly as we think they should be prepared. He also has such a fabulous talent and we were thrilled with the results. Please thank him specially for us.”

“The dinner was absolutely superb! From the table setting, the ambiance, food and wine - all exceeded expectations. But then, I choose RL because I knew that would be the case. You have a facility of which you can be immensely proud and a staff you have trained well. Your entrepreneurship is something not everyone appreciates - but I do.”
“Text messages from our guests read: “Can’t remember the last time I had that much fun.” “OMG the night was...exquisite, magical, awesome, the perfect NYE, magnificent, amazing, marvelous.” The Roosevelt Library blew people away. “Amazing venue.” “Seriously impressive venue.” Fascinating venue”.
The RL cuisine was the best ever from any event Alan and I have attended. Your menu selection and execution was impeccable. The layout for the bars with the welcome drink table, bespoke signature cocktails served in the perfect drink ware and the “to die for” expresso martinis were the flawless ending to a “grand first class event”.”

As someone who has traveled the globe and hosted events all across the United States, the experience we had at the Roosevelt Library, coupled with the hospitality of yourself and your staff, has been an unparalleled experience, that neither myself nor our guests will ever forget.
Thank you for a wonderful experience, your kind and warm personal involvement in hosting our event, and I applaud you on the attention to detail, across-the-board, which elevated the experience for all our guests.

So many of our guests keep telling us about how amazing the party was - from cocktail hour, the decor, the food at dinner!, the champagne, then the experience after dinner - the alpacas were perfect! The band played great music, amazing cocktails (espresso martini- the best!), pool table, your hosts were so helpful too and knew exactly the right time for transitions; and so much more!

You are so gifted at it and clearly a passion of yours. Thank you Leland!
