Arielle + Kyle, NJ

In the spring of 2023, Arielle + Kyle wed at Skyland Manor in Ringwood New Jersey. I remember screaming when the inquiry came through, and after I chatted with Kyle, I knew it was going to be an insane day, but chill in the best way. There's something undeniably enchanting about the idea of getting married in a castle. The history, grandeur, and romantic ambiance create a magical backdrop for a fairytale wedding. Nestled in the heart of the New Jersey Botanical Garden, Skylands Manor is a breathtaking castle that exudes elegance and charm. Set against the backdrop of lush gardens, tranquil woodlands, and striking architecture, it served as the perfect setting for a fairytale wedding. The sprawling estate provided a myriad of romantic photo opportunities, with its regal turrets, sweeping staircases, and picturesque courtyards. While A + K had plans to get married in by the garden koi pond, the rain had other plans and the back up was just as beautiful inside.
The reception was held in a black tent (Arielle wanted it to feel like Met Gala mets goth) with ornate chandeliers, regal décor, and decadent floral centerpieces adorning the tables. The newlyweds and their guests danced the night away, surrounded by the castle's timeless beauty and the warm glow of candlelit ambiance. And that dance party, COME ON!
If you've ever dreamt of a fairytale wedding at a castle, I hope this glimpse into a real-life love story at Skylands Manor has inspired you.
