Me and my husband, Dan, got married 2 weeks ago at Skylands Manor. My parents also got married catered by the Frungillos, who cater Skylands manor 32 years ago, so we had an idea about them as we were looking for venues. To say that I am still dreaming about this day is an understatement. Coming from an Italian family, food was beyond important to us, and the Frungillos impressed them beyond what you can imagine. The food was amazing, and on top of that, the showcasing and presentations of food were unbelievable. I booked Skylands for the obvious reasons: The beautiful castle, the grounds, and the stunning interior, but I quickly learned that along with that, I would get the most amazing day of my life. You do not just become the Frungillo's clients, but you build a relationship with them forever. From meeting with Matthew at the start, he could not have been more accommodating and helpful through the entire journey. As I would nag him with questions, he would always answer in seconds with the proper answers I needed. I could not be more thankful for the Frungillos and everyone at Skylands Manor for helping me make my dream day come true

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 hard work and cannot recommend them highly enough to any couple seeking a worry-free, beautifully managed wedding experience.

This venue is absolutely beautiful! It was unlike any other venue we’ve ever seen and our guests were so impressed by it as well. We were able to have our rehearsal dinner here and then spend the night with our bridal party so we woke up there on our wedding day and started getting ready. We also spent the night at the manor after our wedding so we didn’t have to worry about leaving to have our after party somewhere else. From the area for the ceremony by the koi pond to the whole manor for our cocktail hour and the ball room for the reception, everything was so unique and gorgeous. Not only was everything picture perfect but all of the staff were accommodating and helpful during the whole process from the time we first toured the venue until the morning after the wedding they were there for whatever we needed. Everyone was very professional and helped our guests with whatever we needed during our rehearsal dinner and on our wedding day. The food was also delicious! It was the best tasting food I’ve every had from any wedding I have ever attended. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a venue that can help provide them with more than just the area to hold your wedding!

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.

Beautiful wedding venue inside and out. The interior is perfect in case weather does not cooperate. Having overnight rooms at the venue was great because we didn’t have to worry about traveling, or packing up after the reception. I want to specifically praise Linda (Maitre d') and Liz (the innkeeper) for being so kind and attentive. All of our wedding items (candles, lanterns, flowers, signs, etc.) were boxed up and ready to be packed into the car the next morning! This saved us so much time and stress!! Linda also set EVERYTHING up in preparation for the wedding. We had so much DIY stuff, and she handled it all. She reassured us that she would be able to do it, and she exceeded expectations. I did not want myself or family/friends stressing on the day of, I just wanted them to focus on getting ready and Linda made that possible. She has been in the industry for a long time which truly shows with her professionalism, leadership, and expertise. I also want to acknowledge Liz, who was exceptionally attentive and accommodating to all my bridesmaids as we were getting ready and to the wedding guests who stayed overnight. Everyone raved about these two ladies. My guests also raved about the food! (Liz and Linda also made sure I always had food which was so nice as a bride lol). Highly recommend Skylands Manor as you wedding venue. Hope this helps!

My day was absolutely perfect. There isn't one thing that we would change at all. Everyone thought the venue was breath taking and are still talking about the food. The options that are available for cocktail hour are just unmatched. It took us days to be able to decide. Linda was there to help us with every food decision and made sure I could relax the morning of without having to set up a single thing. I wish I could do the day all over again.

Skylands manor is a gem, a castle set in a botanical garden, right in NJ. Our son was married in November. The ceremony was outside on a sunny patio overlooking the mountains, with hot apple cider for guests, and blankets for favors. The cocktail hour and reception were inside. The castle itself has rooms that were brought over from European castles, so it has authentic 500-year-old stained glass windows and intricate wood carvings. The cocktail hour was spread across several rooms, guests were encouraged to wander and mingle. The granite was mined in NJ, right on this property, and makes up a beautiful outside of the castle, two stone rooms inside, and a stone circular staircase - all make for stunning wedding photos! There is a bridal suite where the bride/bridesmaids get ready, and a library where the groom/groomsmen get ready. Both are architecturally stunning with intricate wood carvings throughout the rooms. The large white marble fireplace made for great family group photos. The food was excellent, and we had a completely gluten-free wedding - 4 fully stocked rooms with a taco station (mahi-mahi, beef & more), Tuscan spread (mozzarella, salads, crudites), seafood (oysters, mussels, shrimp), and carving station (skirt steak, ham). Also, waiters serving additional items. During warmer months, the ceremony can take place outside at the koi pond (a large rectangular pond with live fish), the magnolia garden (with flowering trees alongside) or indoors in a large room with 2-story-high huge stained glass windows. This is the NJ botanical garden, so the gardens are spectacular, with granite statues, fountains, and walls. An extra plus, the castle has 22 guest rooms, so our wedding party and family stayed overnight. There is a handicap room just off the grand ballroom, which was perfect for grandparents. The rooms are beautifully decorated with historic decor and carved wood. There is a large \"rec room\" with couches, tables, and foosball - it made for a nice \"after-party\". Also, a curator brought us on a tour and had us find 4 hidden safes in the castle. The next morning we had breakfast downstairs with an elegant spread of fresh muffins, bagels, and more. Everyone enjoyed the wedding, it is a stunning elegant castle with great food & service.

WARNING! They are the rudest most heartless, defensive narcissists I have ever met! They lied to my husband and I about all the promises they made, and the wife of the owner, Lisa called me just to yell at me!Firstly, we were told that signs would be put up to prevent tourists from interfering with our ceremony and reception. There were no signs! We had random tourists sitting in our ceremony chairs and in our photos! My guests had to tell them to leave! Random people were drinking the cider we paid for, and no staff was there to stop them! Lastly, two random women that were NOT my guests asked me what time my wedding started AS I WAS ABOUT TO WALK DOWN THE ISLE! I could not believe the lack of respect the staff has for the couples who pay for weddings here!Second, we got ROBBED at our own wedding! The owner’s wife advised to me that they hire a third party for their wait staff, so they don’t know these “kids”. Someone went into the UNLOCKED groomsmen room and opened my husband’s and all his groomsmen duffle bags and ripped open envelopes! I asked the Maître d' why they did not lock the doors and she said it is not their “policy” to lock the bridal party doors. They were both left wide open the entire time with guests wandering around everywhere even when I had asked them to lock them! Unreal! I never heard of that “policy”! If you check other site’s reviews, there are multiple reviews regarding theft! And the owners rudely get defensive! Lisa, the mother of the Maître d' Michelle, called me the following day after I had texted Michelle if I can get the video footage to see who did it. She yelled at me and violently and told me that I was calling her daughter a thief! I never said that! All I had texted Michelle was that I would like to see the video footage. Mind you, I still tipped the wait staff because I thought it would help me get the video footage! I wasn’t rude to anyone that day because being rude doesn’t get any situation resolved.Another issue I had, since the door was unlocked in the bridesmaid room… someone went in there and ate all my cocktail hour food. I mentioned this to the Maître d' Michelle, and she didn’t even ask her staff to get my husband and I extra plates of food! When her mother Lisa called me the next day, I explained to her the situation, and she yelled at me saying “Michelle is not your servant!”. I was so confused because they are serving food… if something is wrong with the food, isn’t the wait staff responsible to fix the issue? I was not even rude to Michelle. I could not believe that I spent 60K on this wedding and they couldn’t even get me an extra plate of food!3 weeks later, I met again with the owner’s wife Lisa. She allowed me to view the video which showed nothing because their cameras are conveniently only in certain areas of the mansion… I recorded the entire conversation and I kept catching Lisa in lies as she verbally abused me. She proceeded to tell me that I was being knit picky and making a big deal out of “nothing”. She would not even give me a partial refund either. These people are ruthless and heartless human beings.

I am grateful for all the attention she and our bridal attendant Ashley paid to us on our wedding day! The whole team was really awesome, kind, and the entire experience is what magic is made of. Highly recommend.

As soon as you walk into Skyland Manor you are greeted by Nancy, who with enthusiasm shows you around the castle before you have even made a decision. Her professionalism, kindness, and patience was one of the first reasons we decided to pick Skyland Manor as our wedding venue. Most places treat you like cattle. Nancy made us feel like part of the family and really cared about every detail and questions we had. The venue is beautiful and one of a kind. Definitely a must pick for New Jersey!

My experience was amazing! I am a rescheduled 2020 bride and Linda has been absolutely amazing and accommodating through the whole process.

Skylands Manor and Frungillo Catering made my wedding day exactly what I have always imagined it would be, they took my vision and made it reality! Skylands Manor is one of the most stunning venues. Classy and timeless, the grounds are perfection (SO many photo options). The Frungillo team was wonderful to work with from start to finish. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day, everything was handled and we were able to just relax and enjoy our special day with our dearest friends and family. We wanted our guests to feel comfortable and we wanted to make sure we picked a venue that held one wedding per day. The team accommodated all of our requests, were responsive to our hundreds of questions, helpful with decisions during the planing process and the list goes on! We had 120 guests attend our wedding and they haven’t stopped raving about the food and service provided. We would recommend Skylands Manor and Frungillo Caterers a thousand times to anyone looking to plan their dream wedding! Thank you Michelle and team!!

Skylands Manor by Frungillo Caterers gave us the most perfect wedding. We were married in June of 2021 — our ceremony was outside in the botanical gardens (magnolia lane) and absolutely perfect. Frungillo Catering organized and planned everything perfectly. Linda was fantastic along with the entire staff! Our cocktail hour was held in the mansion and outdoors and our reception was in a tent outdoors on the property. The tent was styled and set up perfectly and every aspect of our wedding day was smooth and successful thanks to Frungillos Catering!!! We cannot recommend this venue/ Frungillos Enough!!!
