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!!

Outstanding Venue, Food, & Staff

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.

Above and beyond!

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.
