The Skylands Manor

Set within the New Jersey Botanical Gardens in Ringwood, Skylands Manor offers a historic estate setting for weddings and other private celebrations. The Tudor-style manor, stone architecture and landscaped grounds give organisers a choice of distinctive backdrops, from garden paths and outdoor ceremony spots to characterful indoor rooms. Couples can arrange their ceremony and reception at the property, with different spaces providing a natural progression from vows to drinks and dinner.

The venue’s team works with couples to plan the occasion, arrange a private tour and discuss how the setting can suit their plans. On-site catering is part of the offering, with menus built around seasonal ingredients and options for cocktails, dinner and late-night food. Couples can personalise details such as the menu and the look of the celebration, while the venue team helps coordinate the practical arrangements for the day.

The manor also has a bridal suite for getting ready, and guest rooms that allow some guests to stay overnight. Its gardens and historic interiors offer a range of settings for photographs and gathering with guests throughout the celebration. The property can suit couples seeking a formal castle-like venue, a garden ceremony or a reception surrounded by historic architecture. Organisers can contact the venue to discuss availability, catering and the spaces best suited to their event. With its heritage character, botanical surroundings and dedicated wedding facilities, Skylands Manor provides a single location for the ceremony, reception and overnight stay.
