About Us

Gillian & Tony

We met in 2011 and were married in 2018, just 5 days before closing on the purchase of this property. We love live music and big parties and have always enjoyed hosting both types of events. After years of hosting parties and concerts at our beloved Durham home (Onslow Wildlife Sanctuary), we are so excited to bring you a unique event center that is perfect for the party, wedding, or concert of your dreams! When we're not dreaming about, planning, attending, or hosting events, we love to travel, throw frisbees, go on adventures, and cuddle our sweet golden retriever, Murray.
