A little while back our firm needed a place for a series of presentations in Manhattan. I reached out to the loyal Gotham network and I was introduced to Ashley Jurgensen.
Ashley is the owner of a fantastic facility called Top of The Garden Event Space. While I assumed that the company name referred to its proximity, I didn't realize the true impact of the facility with which she had provided us.
Our east end LI firm spent the day interviewing 6 different companies in the heart of Manhattan. We sat at a meeting table in front of a 60 ft long window that overlooks the historic roof of the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden. Needless to say, nothing could have been more impressive. Between meetings as I looked out the window I thought of the monumental events that had taken place there(so much so that I took a picture and sent it to my son).
Ashley and I still haven't met, but we have opened up a relationship based upon her professionalism, generosity and quite honestly, her incredible facility. Her assistant Victoria who took care of us that day was exceptional. I couldn't advocate more strongly for her facility whether it be for a corporate meeting, cocktail reception or any other business or social gathering.
You should definitely reach out to her.
