Spring Skylands Manor Wedding

As soon as you meet Jennifer and James, you can’t help but notice their extraordinarily warm, gracious, and welcoming manner. They just light up the room together. And best of all, they have an infectious sense of humor. I haven’t seen a cake-cutting get quite so rowdy in a while.

They chose to get married at The Castle at Skylands Manor New Jersey Botanical Garden, a drop-dead gorgeous Tudor Revival estate located on 96 acres of gardens, surrounded by the wooded slopes of the Ramapo Mountains. It is one of the gems of New Jersey, and a great place to go for a day of hikes and a picnic. Or to have a wedding!
