The Skylands Castle was designed by noted American Architect John Russell Pope who was educated at Ecole des Beaux Aris in Paris. His other works include The National Archives and the National Gallery of Art. The Skylands Castle possesses a remarkable collection of antique stain glass medallions set in leaded windows from sixteenth century German, Swiss and Bavarian historical sites. Many typical features of the Tudor Revival style were incorporated into the design including the extensive use of stone, large groups of rectangular windows, pane glass windows, clusters of chimneys, paneled walls, and half timbering. The Castle at Skylands Manor has become New Jersey's premier destination wedding site. Nestled among 100 acres of manicured grounds that are the New Jersey Botanical Gardens, Skylands offers romance and glamour for weddings that are reminiscent of those found in fairy tales. |
| The manor house was specifically designed to contain some English and European rooms that had already been purchased or optioned by Mrs. Helen Lewis Salomon, Clarence Lewis's mother. Included in these rooms were authentic stained glass medallions and windows depicting medieval scenes. The interior also includes rich wood paneling, elaborately carved staircases, carved stone doorways, molded plaster ceilings ranging in height from 8 to 25 feet, and the traditional Great Hall found in all English Manor houses. | The Ballroom Reflects Warmth with an Old-World Style of Elegance that is Prevalent Throughout the Mansion. A favorite of Skylands brides is the private bridal suite that they enjoy for the day. Photographers usually begin there and then spend the remainder of the day taking photos of the bride and her guests at the numerous "photo opportunity" sites throughout the castle and its grounds. |
| The gourmet cuisine and professional service at Skylands is hospitably offered by Frungillo Caterers. The Frungillo family has been catering to brides for three generations. Skylands entire staff is at your disposal for the day. The butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker will all be on hand to make sure that your day runs as per plan. Oh yes, and of course, your private bridal assistant will be there for you as well. | |
at a castle just for you, your fiancé and your guests!
