Skylands Manor, Ringwood

Hey all! Don't know if anyone knows this or not, but FI and I looked at the Castle at Skylands Manor and think it's a really beautiful site. Would anyone happen to know if they are available for ceremony only? I've been spending time with my new goddaughter (yay!) and every time I call no one answers, ugh! Thanks for the help!

I would venture to say no, since they close the castle to weddings. I don't know for sure, but I would say no. Frungillo Catering, who now basically owns the once historic landmark, get a LOT of money there, and I don't think they'd allow just a ceremony.

likely no.  but perhaps you can negitiote with the NJBG themselves for that is where i believe the $2000 site fee goes.

I had asked them if I could do ceremony only at one of their other venues, Oakside Mansion, and they said no. So, doubtful...

Have you checked out Ringwood Manor which is just up the street from Skylands Manor, it is also very nice and I believe you can do ceremony only on their grounds, but not inside the manor itself. Were you looking to have the ceremony inside or outside?

I was hoping to have the ceremony inside. Thanks for all the info. I figured I wouldn't be able to have it there, but Ringwood manor sounds good I'll check it out!
