Skylands Manor by Frungillo Caterers

My husband and I got married on October 15th at the Skylands Manor. From the food, the venue, the staff, everything was beyond our expectations. We had a 300 person outdoor wedding under a tent with cocktail hour inside the manor and the outdoor patio. Linda was our contact leading up to the day of and Rachel was our Maitre'd day of. We did not have to worry about a single thing, the timeline was perfect, Rachel made sure we were on schedule the whole day and managed the team and staff so flawlessly. Guests are still raving about how delicious the food was - our cocktail hour was extended so our guests could enjoy all the delicious stations we selected. From the ice sculpture raw bar, to the homemade sushi station, smoked bourbon & Martini Bars, Frungillo's has endless station options to really customize your day. We really wanted our wedding day to be reflection of us and Frungillos did an amazing job and giving us suggestions along the way. I could not have imagined a more perfect day. Skylands Manor is truly a hidden gem. We had the whole the castle to ourselves, spent the night in the 22 rooms and had a farewell brunch the following morning. We wish we could re live this day over and over again. It was simply a dream come true! Thank you to everyone at Frungillos at the Skylands Manor!!

Our wedding at the manor was truly a dream fairytale come to life. From the moment we arrived, every detail was absolutely beautiful and exceeded all of our expectations. The staff was incredibly attentive, kind, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. They made us feel so welcomed and taken care of throughout the entire celebration!

I cannot say enough incredible things about Skylands Manor, we truly had the wedding of our dreams there on June 6, 2025. To start, the staff. Every single person that we came across over the course of our planning and day of experience was PHENOMENAL. Nancy, who first held our tour, was so helpful and so welcoming that we instantly felt we would be well taken care of. Linda was our Maitre'd and we could not have asked for a better person to take care of all our needs. She responded to all of our requests so quickly, was immensely helpful and accommodating, and truly made the entire process of planning this wedding a breeze. Also have to shout out Laura, who was the server for me and my husband, because she was an absolute gem the entirety of our night.

Secondly, I would be remiss if I didn't shout out the food - which was INSANE. We knew following our tasting that the food would be good but wow were we blown away. Never have I ever had a wedding steak I liked, but Frungillo's catering blew it out of the park. Our cocktail hour was a dream, the salad starter at reception was so light and refreshing, and all of our guests are still raving about just how fantastic the food was. We were told by multiple guests that the salmon melted in their mouths like butter and the cocktail hour mashed potato bar was a major hit. We also opted for the late night hot dog cart and those dogs were NYC quality (as Brooklynites, that was a huge deal for us).

The cocktails were also incredible - my husband is a very talented mixologist as a hobby and all of our friends and family expect any of our events to have good cocktails, and wow did Skylands deliver. We opted for a Hugo Spritz as our signature cocktail and we were hounded by praise from our guests about how good it was.

It goes without saying that the venue is gorgeous, but it's the hospitality and incredible attention to detail of the staff at Skylands that truly make the venue unlike any other in New Jersey. Our guests are all still raving about how phenomenal our wedding was and it's truly all thanks to the hard work and dedication of the team at Skylands.

This was one of the first places we visited and fell in love with it! The grounds were beautiful and so was the castle itself. Each room was so unique, our guests told us how fun it was to explore the building. Food was spectacular and everything was delicious. I’m so glad we chose to have our wedding here!

We had our wedding at Skylands Manor and it was an incredible experience. Linda was our coordinator and she took care of everything the entire day. From the first venue tour, to planning every detail, to the actual day of the wedding, I could not have asked for anything more from Linda and the Skylands Manor staff. The food was amazing and we received many compliments from our guests about the gorgeous grounds. Service was great. I highly recommend this venue to anyone! Best experience.

First off, on behalf of me and husband, I would like to thank Matthew and his entire staff for the incredible job they did from start to finish for my wedding. From the day of booking to the very last song, it was the greatest day of my life! My entire life I dreamed of a Cinderella wedding. Skylands manor was that for me. We had our ceremony at magnolia lane , which was absolute unreal. The incredible grounds/gardens at skylands are unmatched. Followed that was cocktail hour , and the station/passed food presentations were so cool and new , and our guests were raving about how good it all was. ( the big hit was the fresh mozzarella station, and grilled cheese tomato soup station) We then danced the night away as we had dinner and the staff couldn’t have been more professional. Even the little things , whether it was re-folding napkins , filling waters up , etc. Matthew and his whole staff showed the utmost professionalism and did not make me worry for even a second the entire day.

We want to thank Linda and her exceptional team for their outstanding coordination and support on our wedding day! Their presence was pivotal – without their expertise and calm guidance, our special day wouldn't have been the seamless celebration it was. Linda's organizational skills, dedication, and passion for what she does ensured that every aspect of our wedding unfolded perfectly. There were even some details that I forgot to mention, and she was able to set things up better than I had imagined. We also had two different tea ceremonies with back-to-back schedules until 10 PM! Linda and the team took care of everything, including me and my husband, allowing us to enjoy our day and lean on them without a single worry. We deeply appreciate their everything they did for us and cannot recommend them highly enough to any couple seeking a worry-free, beautifully managed wedding experience.

My husband and I got married on 11/04 at Skylands Manor and we are still in awe of how incredible everything was! From the staff, to the food, to the timeline...everything was just perfection and exactly how we imagined our wedding day.

Skylands Manor is truly a hidden gem! It is a big beautiful castle that you have all to yourself with a quaint and homey feeling. It's right in the botanical gardens making it perfect for absolutely stunning photos and a peaceful and romantic place to have your ceremony. We were so lucky to have a nice fall evening outside in Magnolia Lane.

Our guests are still raving about the cocktail hour stations in the four different rooms. They also really loved our signature drinks and we received MANY compliments on how great the entrees and the cake were. Food was very important to us!

My husband and I did not have to worry about a single thing throughout the day either. Our Maitre D, Linda was absolutely incredible from start to finish. As a control freak myself, I can confidently say that Linda and her staff can be trusted to make your day exactly how you want it. Leading up to our wedding, whenever I had questions she never hesitated to call me or text me. She's very detail oriented, attentive, and professional at all times. She even gave us some extra special things we wanted to have at our wedding and really made sure everything and everyone was taken care of. Linda also prepared plates of food for my husband and I so we could taste all the cocktail hour food before heading out to our guests. She really thinks of everything! Thank you Skylands Manor for the most unforgettable wedding day.

This was the wedding venue of my dreams. Linda was so attentive and the staff executed the day brilliantly. The food was delicious with seamless transitions along the way.

I cannot thank Linda and the whole Frungillo team enough for helping us throw the “wedding of the century” as we were told by several guests. Not only is the venue something so unique and beautiful, Linda and her team are so experienced and made the entire process and day seamless. Highly recommend anyone looking for a venue that will truly wow your guests to take a look at Skylands, you won’t regret it!
