Planning a wedding is about more than choosing a date and a dress — it’s about finding a place that feels timeless, breathtaking, and completely your own. Tucked inside the New Jersey Botanical Gardens, Skylands Manor offers all of that and more.

This granite Tudor-Revival estate, with its intricate stonework, sweeping views, and richly appointed interiors, is a dream location for couples seeking both historic elegance and modern ease. Here’s how Skylands Manor turns your wedding into an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

A Setting Steeped in History and Romance

Built in the 1920s and surrounded by lush botanical gardens, Skylands Manor feels like a castle plucked from a fairytale. The manor’s grand exterior, complete with arched windows, carved stone details, and ivy-covered walls, sets a dramatic tone for your day.

Inside, your guests are welcomed with antique woodwork, leaded glass windows, and cozy fireplaces — all perfect backdrops for romantic photos or candlelit cocktails.

Just steps from the manor, couples can hold ceremonies in:

• Or indoors in one of the manor’s elegant rooms for winter or rainy-day charm
