Best day of our lives!

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!!

Amazing day!

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!

Great Experience

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.
