Our Story

OUR REASON FOR BEING

If anyone were to tell me I'd someday co-own the same place where I took piano lessons as a pre-teen/teenager two decades prior, chances are I probably would not have believed it. Fast forward to 2005, the year when my husband Sterick and I purchased the historic, four-story Victorian-style brownstone and former home to the world-renowned Trenton Conservatory of Music for nearly a century. For me, building upon the rich legacy of the previous occupants was a no-brainer, and that is why the Conservatory Mansion remains a place where music lessons and dance classes are offered, where rehearsal studios for the visual and performing arts is available, and where small to mid-size indoor/outdoor private and public events of all types are held. As Trenton natives who remember having access to all kinds of free and affordable community activities, and art and cultural experiences in the city that helped mold and shape us into who we are t0day, we also recognize(d) the number of world-class musicians and creative artists in the area that are in need of a place to instruct, perform and/or display their talent, as well as the abundance of entrepreneurs, social, civic, cultural and non-profit organizations seeking rental space locally and the lack of choices available. Thus, dubbed "social entrepreneurs" by many who have known and have worked closely with us over the years, our decision to meet the desires and demands of our native Trenton has been and remains the mission, vision and the number one priority of our busines.

Our Niche

WE'RE MORE THAN AN EVENTS VENUE

What makes us different from our competitors is our willingness to help other businesses prosper by sharing and referring them to our interested customers in search of specific services such as DJs, event planners, caterers, party rental companies (for tents, designer seating and more) photographers, etc. With our NEW e-business directory, it is our goal to bring attention to and more importantly help increase revenue for the many talented entrepreneurs from within and outside our city, especially those that have been hired by our customers and have made their events unique, memorable and successful.
