    Skylands Manor - A Perfect Wedding

    Skylands Manor is a unique, amazing venue that recently hosted a perfect wedding for my godson. The historic stone architecture and manicured gardens provided an ideal backdrop - our family photos are priceless! The food was probably the best I've ever had at a wedding and the staff were super attentive throughout the evening. We hope to have our daughter's dream wedding here!

    SydneyJul 31, 2026

We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the historic setting, beautiful gardens, and attentive service. It means so much to know the food stood out as one of the best you've had at a wedding, and we're thrilled your family was able to capture such memorable photos. We truly appreciate your support and would be honored to help make your daughter's dream wedding a reality when the time comes. We hope to welcome your family back to Skylands Manor again soon!

    Spectacular Skylands!

    I attended a wedding at Skylands recently and it was spectacular! The grounds were beautify, the chapel was amazing and the castle was beyond anyone’s dreams. On top of all that, the food was out of this world and service was top notch. I loved the smokey bourbon station. I highly recommend if you are planning a wedding and don’t want your typical wedding hall, this is the spot!

    SydneyJul 31, 2026

    Thank you so much for your kind review, Ralph! We're thrilled to hear you had such a memorable experience at Skylands Manor. From our beautiful grounds and historic chapel to the manor itself, we're so glad the venue made such an impression. It's also great to hear you enjoyed the food, service, and our smoky bourbon station (it's always a guest favorite)! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Skylands Manor again for another special celebration.

    Daughters Special Day

    From our first conversation with the Skylands Manor team, they walked us through every step of the planning process in a clear and organized way, which made the whole experience stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely stunning—a breathtaking castle surrounded by gorgeous gardens that gave our wedding day a fairytale feel. Linda was instrumental in making sure every detail came together perfectly, and David, the executive chef, executed all of our food requests flawlessly. The staff went out of their way to listen to what we wanted and made us feel heard throughout the entire process. We could not have asked for a better setting or a more dedicated team to bring our vision to life. Skylands Manor exceeded our expectations and we would recommend them in a heartbeat.

    Wedding couple

    If I could give Skylands Manor and Frungillo Caterers more than five stars, I would. From the moment our guests drove up the tree-lined entrance to the final song of the evening, every single detail felt like something out of a fairytale. Skylands Manor is, without question, one of the most breathtaking wedding venues in New Jersey. The historic manor, stunning gardens, mountain views, and timeless architecture created the perfect backdrop for the most important day of our lives. What truly sets this venue apart, however, is the team behind it. The staff made us feel like we were the only wedding that mattered. Every detail was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care, allowing us to be completely present and enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing. The food deserves its own standing ovation. Our guests are still talking about it weeks later. From the incredible cocktail hour to the perfectly prepared dinner and desserts, everything was restaurant-quality and beautifully presented. It was far beyond what anyone expects from a wedding venue. Everywhere we looked there were unforgettable photo opportunities, and the atmosphere was simply magical. It felt like we were celebrating in our own private castle. We’ve attended many weddings over the years, and our guests repeatedly told us this was one of the most beautiful—and one of the most enjoyable—they’ve ever experienced. That says everything. To everyone at Skylands Manor and Frungillo Caterers: thank you for creating memories we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. You didn’t just host our wedding—you created an experience that exceeded every expectation. We would choose Skylands Manor again a thousand times over and recommend it without hesitation to any couple looking for a truly unforgettable wedding venue.

    Thank you so much, Lenny, for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review! We are truly honored that you chose Skylands Manor and Frungillo Caterers to be part of such an important day in your lives. It means the world to hear that everything - from the tree-lined entrance and breathtaking scenery to the food and service -helped create the fairytale wedding you envisioned. Our entire team works hard to ensure every couple feels supported and can simply enjoy each moment, so knowing you felt completely taken care of is the greatest compliment we could receive. We're especially grateful to hear your guests are still talking about the food and the experience. Creating unforgettable celebrations is what we strive for, and we're so happy we exceeded your expectations. Thank you again for your trust, your recommendation, and for allowing us to be part of such a special chapter in your lives. We wish you both a lifetime of love, happiness, and wonderful memories together!

    Weigh your pros and cons

    The Skylands Manor offers beautiful and unique grounds for weddings, with stunning backdrops for photos. However, our experience working with their staff was frustrating at times. Day-of coordination felt disorganized, with our bridal suite not ready upon arrival. We felt shuffled between rooms while getting ready. Despite the venue's aesthetics and good food, these coordination issues unfortunately took away from our special day. For the high price, we expected more professionalism and organization from the staff. While the manor itself is picturesque, improvements in communication and organization could better justify the value and expense for brides and grooms.
