Say Yes to the Best bridal event at The Castle at Skylands Manor

Last Wednesday evening we exhibited at the Say Yes to the Best bridal event, which took place at a particularly dramatic venue, The Castle at Skylands Manor. Located in Ringwood, NJ, a hamlet in northwest Jersey close to the border with New York state, the manor is an old country house perched literally on top of a mountain, with rolling acres of gardens framed by forests and a sweeping view of the horizon. Frungillo Caterers operates The Castle with their usual aplomb; guests at last week’s bridal event enjoyed delicious passed hors d’oeurves and champagne as they explored the many hidden corners of the sprawling mansion.
