A Taste of Frungillo's

Frungillo's designs couture weddings, corporate functions and other special events at one of our five distinct venues: The Villa (Mountain Lakes, NJ), The Castle at Skylands Manor (Ringwood, NJ), The Mansion at Oakeside Bloomfield Cultural Center (Bloomfield, NJ), The Inn at Millrace Pond (Hope, NJ), and The Mezzanine at National Newark Building (Newark, NJ). They offer restored, historic-style guest rooms at both the The Castle and The Inn for the perfect overnight stay or getaway. They are a family-owned and -operated business with more than 35 years of experience creating events for two to tens of thousands of guests.

I've had the privilege of photographing numerous Frungillo events over the years and am always impressed with the food, decor and staff.  Robert, the owner always puts out a great spread for his guest, just look at the size of these shrimp.
