Frungillo Hospitality Group

ience but for how wonderful the staff and Linda was to us! 5 stars all around!

nce.

was great. Especially Laura, the Maître d who tool care of everyone with a smile !

man running the wedding Laura was incredible everywhere you turned she was there.

r us. The staff on hand are remarkable and were so organized with everything from the moment we arrived until we left. Anything we needed was done instantly. The service was exceptional! All my guest had nothing but great things to say about the staff and their service. By far one of the best cocktail hours and dinner food for a catering venue.Hoping to have another amazing party there in the future I will be recommending this venue to others!

our expectations in crafting a truly magical day. Every guest raved about the stunning outdoor ceremony and venue, as well as the delectable food. Words cannot adequately convey our gratitude for selecting such an extraordinary venue and catering team. A heartfelt thank you to Matthew and the whole Frungillo team for turning our dream wedding into a reality!

ndly the staff was, it was a dream come true for us. The entrees were incredible, and the cocktail hour stations were out of this world. For a couple that started not knowing what kind of venue we wanted, we couldn't be happier. We met with Matthew to start and he was amazing. He helped us every step of the way, and his team on our special day was just as good as well. Me and my wife can not thank the Frungillos enough

ooked great and it was the best I’ve ever had at a wedding. The staff was friendly and took care of everything with a smile. I would highly recommend!

all positive reviews!). They were highly attentive to our guests' dietary needs, including our guests with a serious gluten allergy (Celiacs). They happily accommodated our special desserts rather than a traditional wedding cake. The bartenders kept the bar stocked all night and kept our signature cocktails coming. And throughout the event, they were careful to take care of our guests and us! As soon as we walked into the cocktail hour, a server brought us a special plate of food to make sure we didn't miss the appetizers. When we missed dinner visiting tables, they kept our entrees warm and brought them back out to us! The bartenders kept the bar stocked all night and kept our signature cocktails coming. They gave us to-go boxes of the power hour food (amazing). And they really knew the space and took care of guiding us and our guests throughout it. Ben was so integral in helping us plan the flow of the reception, helping us ask the right questions of our other vendors in advance to ensure everything could run smoothly on the day-of without us having to worry at all. I could not recommend Frungillo more!

e trust we have in them. From the walkthrough and planning process with Michelle and Robert, to the day off with Gerry and Linda, everything was spectacular. Upon entering, our guests were greeting with espresso martini or champagne shooters which were delicious. Not only that, our guests could not stop raving about the food. The fresh mozz station was a hit, and our pasta and Tuscan stations were top notch. To top it all off, everyone’s filet (their top dish) was cooked to perfection. Some people even ate their table’s leftovers it was that good! We even had an afterparty at the gristmill… and you already know by this point how that went. All of our guests stayed at the venue in the multiple rooms they have to offer and we were able to have a brunch the next day to recap all the memories from the night before. I wouldn’t have booked my wedding with anyone else but the Frungillo’s. They’re not just your friends, they’re family. Thank you thank you!!

called me just to yell at me! Firstly, we were told that signs would be put up to prevent tourists from interfering with our ceremony and reception at the Skylands Manor. There were no signs! We had random tourists sitting in our ceremony chairs and in our photos! My guests had to tell them to leave! Random people were drinking the cider we paid for, and no staff was there to stop them! Lastly, two random women that were NOT my guests asked me what time my wedding started AS I WAS ABOUT TO WALK DOWN THE ISLE! I could not believe the lack of respect the staff has for the couples who pay for weddings here! Second, we got ROBBED at our own wedding! The owner’s wife advised to me that they hire a third party for their wait staff, so they don’t know these “kids”. Someone went into the UNLOCKED groomsmen room and opened my husband’s and all his groomsmen duffle bags and ripped open envelopes! I asked the Maître d' why they did not lock the doors and she said it is not their “policy” to lock the bridal party doors. They were both left wide open the entire time with guests wandering around everywhere even when I had asked them to lock them! Unreal! I never heard of that “policy”! If you check other site’s reviews, there are multiple reviews regarding theft! And the owners rudely get defensive! Lisa, the mother of the Maître d' Michelle, called me the following day after I had texted Michelle if I can get the video footage to see who did it. She yelled at me and violently and told me that I was calling her daughter a thief! I never said that! All I had texted Michelle was that I would like to see the video footage. Mind you, I still tipped the wait staff because I thought it would help me get the video footage! I wasn’t rude to anyone that day because being rude doesn’t get any situation resolved. Another issue I had, since the door was unlocked in the bridesmaid room… someone went in there and ate all my cocktail hour food. I mentioned this to the Maître d' Michelle, and she didn’t even ask her staff to get my husband and I extra plates of food! When her mother Lisa called me the next day, I explained to her the situation, and she yelled at me saying “Michelle is not your servant!”. I was so confused because they are serving food… if something is wrong with the food, isn’t the wait staff responsible to fix the issue? I was not even rude to Michelle. I could not believe that I spent 60K on this wedding and they couldn’t even get me an extra plate of food! 3 weeks later, I met again with the owner’s wife Lisa. She allowed me to view the video which showed nothing because their cameras are conveniently only in certain areas of the mansion… I recorded the entire conversation and I kept catching Lisa in lies as she verbally abused me. She proceeded to tell me that I was being knit picky and making a big deal out of “nothing”. She would not even give me a partial refund either. These people are ruthless and heartless human beings.

ost memorable evening. We hope to book our son's wedding here for 2023.

op talking about how great the food was and the wonderful time everyone had. Highly recommend them!

ll of our expectations. Michelle and the entire staff of Frungillo's Catering went above and beyond from start to finish. They truly treated us as we were a member of their own family.

o easy and had so many great suggestions leading up to our day.

nd.

ng. I felt taken care of, great food, and everyone really went the extra mile to make us feel special.

ir food as it tasted amazing at our tasting. But I was letdown at my wedding. For these reasons below: 1. Misunderstanding over the food menu- this is my least concern. 2. Rubberband found in a guest meal ( unfortunately he did not get a picture) 3. We asked for 2 bars, only 1 was set up ( told we did not have enough liquor, when I personally worked with the distributor to make sure we did) 4. Ed was heard yelling at his staff 5. Servers were very young, under 18 because they could not serve alcohol. They were seen dancing on the dance floor and one ran up and kissed one of my guests on the mouth and ran off. ( we have a picture of the server) 6. Minimal to non-existent served hors d’oeuvres. Myself and the guests did not see or get any during the cocktail hour. When asked for more, they were told no. 7. Small portions for the salads brought to the table. Please see the attached photo with their email replies back. I called them as I stated at 2:30pm today to discuss because their replies were unacceptable. Michelle stated she would not speak to me since she did not work the event, just Ed. Even though Michelle is who we conduct business with from the beginning! When I called- 3 times- no one answered. The way we are being treated is unacceptable and Frungillo as a whole needs to take responsibility for how they conduct them self as a business. We want to talk to someone above Michelle and Ed! Please take this warning and avoid this place at all costs.

e wedding. We were one of the first couples to decide to postpone our wedding due to covid, and Frungillo was so easy to work with to make this possible. They're a family owned business and they made us feel like family. The quality of their food is incredible and they were a pleasure to work with leading up to our wedding. Michelle was so responsive and made everything perfect for our big day. Our wedding cake turned out beautiful and tasted homemade. SO happy we chose Frungillo to cater our big day! You should definitely do the same--you won't regret it!

ur wedding was suppose to be October of 2020 but due to COVID we had rescheduled. First and foremost I want to say that we had our wedding May 30, I called and complained about all that occurred a few days later and not one person reached back out to us. The maître d’ Eddie was suppose to be in touch with us prior to the wedding and nor myself or the person in charge at the Oakeside Mansion (where we had our reception at) could get in contact with him because they had a rain date that they never once offered us and it downpoured and we had to squeeze everyone in a small room because the tent outside was soaked inside. Eddie showed up close to 12 o’clock and apologized for his lack of communication. Meanwhile my family was in the tent moving tables around because of all the wet spots around on the floor, he was able to help with the very little that was left. On top of all it, they delivered the wrong cake to our wedding, & not one person could help out and the bakery told us unfortunately not to serve the cake as we had people with allergies and they were unsure if the cake we had received had any nut filling. And on top of it the threw the top of the cake out (we dont have any food allergies so we we’re planning on taking the top of the cake to freeze and eat for our year anniversary.) But when we went to get the cake, it was already thrown out. Cocktail hour again due to the weather everyone was just packed in the small area, but again they never offered us a rain date they had provided to the venue. Dinner time came, the staff was such in a rush to get dinner out they served everyone at once without even asking the people who were vegan but instead served them chicken and salmon. So I had to ask them to remove the meat and serve the vegan option which they served cold. After speaking with Nancy the dish was suppose to be hot. At the end we we were suppose to get the alcohol that was already opened but since the bartender was too busy taking shot with our guests he then gave the alcohol to the guests instead of us to take back. At the end when we went to get our stuff my husband went upstairs and 2 of their staff were rummaging through our belongings which one they saw us they left immediately. I spoke with Nancy and let her know our concerns but no one has reached out to us and I was hoping to make things right but they haven’t. But take this from us, they make you think everything will go go smoothly but their service was horrible, all they want is your money and could care less how their catering services turn out. I would never use them and will discourage anyone from using them!

solutely gorgeous. The Castle, the gardens, the area where we had the ceremony looked amazing and pictures came out unreal. Both inside the castle and outside the pre-wedding photos for both bridal parties came out beautiful. It really is a unique venue. Linda was very good at coordinating - other reviews are somewhat true - she's a bit difficult to reach over e-mail but I found that if you just call her she always answers or calls right back. I think it's a generational thing (no harm there). For the staff - the two ladies that helped us out on our actual day of were AWESOME. They were so helpful and accommodating, and trying to make sure our day went smoothly without us having to worry. The beverage manager even gave my buddies a bunch of beers to have in the library before the ceremony. We filled out the venue rooms and that was a great time as well having everyone stay at the venue. The food: the dinner was fantastic - which I don't say about every wedding entrée. Steaks were actually good and not overcooked. Everyone loved the stations - we had Chinese takeout boxes with lo mein and stir fry ( a huge hit), American fare station and pasta station (all great). Complimentary seafood station (meh). The pass arounds however were a little off. We asked them to bring us a sampling of all the pass arounds after our ceremony to the bridal suite for my wife and I to enjoy before heading outside and the platter was sent up with fruit cups (we didn't order fruit cups) and not all of the actual pass arounds. Some we didn't order and some we did. It seemed as though some of the pass arounds we were most excited about, we never actually saw, which seems to be consistent with other reviews we read. Another thing was, they served bud light cans at our wedding. I'm totally in for bud lights at a wedding, I am by NO means above a cold BL .... but can you at least spring for bottles? We paid a boat load of money for this day and to serve bud light cans is ridiculous. So while there's some nitpicky stuff there, how beautiful the grounds looked and how unique that Castle is outweighed all of the bads BY FAR. And having an amazing band obviously helped. If you don't want a golf course country club wedding and want something unique but can't afford the city view...definitely do it here. It's gorgeous and having your closest family and friends be able to stay overnight with you makes for a really really fun night. If you get locked out of the venue at 3 am, the night manager is even there to let you in.

ed our only options were to cancel or postpone. We knew we wanted to keep our same date and make it happen however we could. Without hesitation, Rob Frungillo Sr. so graciously took my call and laid out several options of how he could help all while complying with the ever changing guidelines. Miraculously, Oakeside Mansion was available on our original date! We knew it was fate and booked immediately. Rob put us in touch with Michelle who became our main point of contact and maître d' for our wedding day. Michelle helped us re-plan our entire wedding in less than 2 months!! Michelle did a great job leading up to our wedding and was very attentive to the many, many questions and requests we had. She put every concern at ease by finding a way to accommodate and make things happen. Oakeside allowed us to have the most normal wedding we possibly could! They went above and beyond with handling the guidelines and restrictions to make sure our guests and family feel safe. Their land allowed for us to offer our guests additional activities in the event they felt uncomfortable dancing. Their grounds are absolutely STUNNING and made for beautiful photos we will forever cherish. The food was INCREDIBLE! A month later, our guests are still telling us how much they enjoyed cocktail hour and their meals! The cake from Palermo's was the most delicious cake we've ever had. The staff was so friendly and extremely accommodating to our guests. One guest recently told us, "Your wedding was an amazing escape from Covid-19 for one night. Minus the masks/hand sanitizers you would never have known your wedding was during a pandemic" and for that we have to credit and THANK Michelle, the Frungillo's and their team from the bottom of our hearts - without them it would not have been possible! Highly, highly recommend the Frungillo's and all their venues for any/all events!

s. They were very accommodating and understood the stress we were under. Robert Frungillo helped us reschedule out wedding date to September at the Castle Skylands Manor. My fiancee is ecstatic over this and we have to thank the Frungillos for helping during this stressful period. I highly recommend this gorgeous venue for anyone needing to reschedule. Love this caterer and family. Thank you!

t Millrace Pond. The tent was beautifully decorated and they had masks and hand sanitizer for everyone. The food was delicious from start to finish. The reason I am most happy is that my daughter was thrilled. Our nightmare from April had a fairytale ending in August. Thanks again to The Frungillo staff!

ert Frungillo (of Frungillo Caterers) and Stewert Ashton (of Ashton Farm, Califon, Nj) are refusing to respond to my numerous emails and phone calls requesting a refund of deposits. No services have been rendered. I would think that such a highly regarded company would execute more professional customer service. They do not! The one time Robert Frungillo agreed to speak with me I had asked for a full refund and he stated that "it really isn't a lot of money" and that he would forward my email request to his attorney... I never heard back from him! If it "is not a lot of money" to them, then they should have no problem giving it back to me! I do not recommend Frungillo Caterers!

into the big items and small details. Amy was great to work with, very personable, clear communicator and task oriented. Meaning she could get us to focus and accomplish everything that was necessary while providing great customer service.  No surprise that she attended to our every need on the day of our wedding as well. She calmed my nerves and took care of everything we needed, before we could even ask.  I can't recommend her enough. She kept things moving without making us feel rushed, that way we could enjoy some of the extras without running out of time (cigar bar, pizza truck). She is highly skilled and a true professional.

0s speakeasy wedding. Pricing was very affordable, especially compared to what a typical North Jersey wedding would cost. With that said, you have to be mindful and vigilant of timelines and plans. Be prepared to stay on top of them in regards to communication, it was a hassle to get answers or finalize things. (It was honestly the most stressful part of planning my wedding - just the lack of timely communication and confirmation) Be sure to keep documentation/copies of everything. Despite the communication hiccups though, it all worked out beautifully in the end. Remember that It's an old mansion, with lots of history and character. Play those details up!

of me driving her nuts with questions all the way through my wedding day to make sure everything went perfect...I’m one lucky girl to have had such a lady helping me out every step of the way! Many thanks to Peter, Michelle, Amy and Rich for all their help, support and dedicated service and great wait staff team. What a great bunch of people. Frungillo’s is A++ in my book! PS...the food is spectacular too. Kudos to the Chef!

g date. We were totally panicked, but had been given Frungillo's name, and immediately reached out. Frungillos treated us amazingly from start to finish. They took over everything, and the food was INCREDIBLE. It was honestly the best wedding food I've ever had, and we've had countless guests tell us the same thing. Even our pickier eating guests were absolutely raving about how much they loved the food and stuffed their faces. Not only was the food amazing, but we did family style, and the food was also the most generously served wedding food I've ever experienced. They serve every table one round of all the items, and then kept coming back to refill items until every table was finished. They also did late night snacks that were awesome, and our guests went nuts about all of it! The service was also wonderful. They assigned us a personal waiter, who kept finding us and handing us a personal tray of apps, or a fresh drink, or dessert. We never had to go in search of food or drinks for ourselves, and that was awesome! Frungillos really came in at the last minute and completely saved our day. We know without a doubt that it would not have been the success it was if we didn't have them. Thank you so much to everyone who played a part on your team!!!

generous. They're the best.

She was accessible, available, flexible and relieved any and all stress we had associated with planning our big day. We would absolutely suggest that any couples planning their wedding, work with Frugillo’s and more specifically, Dawn, as their Maitre D. The food was amazing, as well. I can say with full confidence that Dawn and her team at Frungillo’s helped create an absolute dream day for us. Dawn was a key component to making our day absolutely perfect and everything we could have hoped for. Dawn and her team went out of their way to be sure that elderly family members were comfortable and didn’t want for anything. Thank you, Frungillo’s, Dawn and team for creating the most perfect wedding day for us and making our day an absolute dream.

reathtaking. Michelle worked with us for months leading up to our wedding and went above and beyond for us. She answered every email quickly and really helped me make this day about my husband and I. We spent the best day of our lives here and would do it again in a heartbeat.

il was perfect and that the night went smoothly. Unfortunately, we had rain all day, but Amy and her team made sure we everything was set up according to the weather and made sure we all knew where to be and when. My guests are still raving about how amazing the food was! We can’t thank Amy and Frungillo caterers enough for the most amazing day!

ator Ed, were disorganized, not prompt to answer e-mails leading up to our event and dishonest. Our first red flag was after signing our contract, we received an e-mail (not even the courtesy of giving us a phone call) saying they double booked our original date, despite having already signed our contract. We were so in love with the venue, we chalked it up to a miscommunication--no big deal. Unfortunately, instances like this became regular throughout our planning process. Many promises were made and fell short on our wedding day. We worked with Ed throughout our planning process. On most occasions, it took at least a week to get a response back and most of the time, my husband had to text, call and e-mail several times to prompt a response. The morning of the wedding I received a text saying he would not be able to attend our wedding due to an emergency. While I understand circumstances arise, I believe a phone call is the LEAST he could do to break the news--most brides would freak out. Ed and Frungillio’s promised to essentially be my “go-to” on the day of the wedding, but again they fell short. Decor was not organized as promised. Details that were promised in our final meeting were not executed. Staff had to be told as guests were arriving to finish setting up the cocktail hour. Ed failed to communicate with my vendors. Staff was nowhere to be found minutes before the wedding. I (the bride!!) had to put my bridal party in the processional order because no one was there to do it for me. We didn’t even know where to put the overflow of garbage from the bridal suite. One of the two bathrooms broke half way through the wedding and there was no assistance for our guests other than a “out of order” sign on the door. The next day our family went to pick up our decor with the understanding that our items would be in a corner of the tent area as there was another wedding the next day. When our family arrived, our items were sprawled all over the mansion, not in the original boxes or packaging. Items were missing. Extra, unopened candy from our candy bar were stolen (over $500 worth). The groom for the wedding the following day was in a sheer panic because no one who worked for Frungillo’s could be found and the mansion was a complete disaster. Following the wedding, I reached out to the owner of Frungillo’s and Ed to ask for a meeting to discuss our disappointment. While the original e-mail was acknowledged, the message with our concerns did not receive a response, along with the several phone calls made and additional e-mails. We were blatantly ignored. They received our money and did not care about our dissatisfaction, nor did they try to explain themselves. On top of stealing our decor and favors, my husband and I didn't even receive the top of our wedding cake as a keepsake for our one year anniversary. By no means did Frungillo’s ruin my wedding day. Our wedding day was perfect because of the people and love that surrounded the room, not because of their poor attention to detail. If I can give any future bride advice, do not book with Oakeside Mansion or Frungillo’s simply because they will not give you the attention you deserve, especially with the money you are paying. It’s not worth the stress on YOUR beautiful day.

wn. The weather was calling for chance of rain so I was concerned that we would be directed to move in the tent. Amy was hopeful and had her team set up on the lawn. I was thrilled that the rain held up and we weren't coerced into changing venue. Amy was organized, professional and gets the job done. Our service staff was incredible. SO many guests commented on their friendliness and efficiency. Special thanks to Danielle, Kip and Layla. You guys rocked it. Look no further for your catering needs and consider Millrace as a venue if you are looking for rustic with a "wow" factor.

er hard work and making sure my husband and I ate, drank and having a good time. She was our answer to our prayers to make sure we weren’t stressed out. My husband and I had our wedding at the conservatory at Sussex county fairgrounds. We had 220 people and every single one of our guest said “the food was amazing” and THE CAKE! They said the cake was the best wedding cake they ever had. ON POINT !!!! It was 85 degrees that Saturday and the infused water was a big hit for our guest since our ceremony was outdoors. The staff was amazing. I highly recommend Frungillo. Thank you guys so much for making my dream wedding come true

Hope NJ and it was absolutely the best most beautiful day we could have asked for. Amy Spacht, specifically, was phenomenal. She was our Maitre D and she made us feel comforted from day 1 right up until and through the wedding answering each question we had for her. I truly cannot say enough about this company and Amy.

d extremely helpful. The food tasting was expensive, but worth it. John was extremely helpful during the tasting and during the initial planning stages. We then met with Dawn to review the timeline and finalize the menu, and she was amazing. She was extremely responsive to all modes of communication, even early morning texts as the wedding was approaching. Jerry was our maître d and went above and beyond to make sure the night ran smoothly. Everyone was raving about the food, especially the cocktail hour. If anyone needs to bring in their own caterer, we definitely recommend Frungillo’s!

I had planned for our wedding, it is my greatest regret. In fact, I am HUMILIATED by the experience my guests had and cannot express strongly enough how much you should NOT book rooms at this inn, which does not even offer basic amenities, is rude to its guests, overcharges for basic services and is run ineffectively. 1. The new innkeeper, Jessica, is unpleasant, unhappy and rude to the guests. When everyone was calling to make reservations, no one answered the phone and my guests had to call multiple times to get a reservation. During their stay, she was rude to them (several of them let me know this) and locked the door after a certain hour in the evening, making it impossible to get any help or ask any questions. When I would email her, it would take her days or weeks to reply, and when she did reply, her answers were clipped and curt. 2. Upon arrival at the inn, all of the guests received a slip of paper saying there was no cable TV in any of the rooms. I was not notified in advance that this would be the case. For all guests stuck there during the day before the wedding began or my Aunt who was there the night of the wedding watching my cousin’s baby, they had no TV to watch. They did not reduce the rates of the rooms despite not providing this basic amenity. 3. On the day of the wedding, the main building had NO HOT WATER!!! Therefore, all of our guests including the bridesmaids and groomsmen had to take an ice cold shower. The men had to do cold shaves. The showers also have no water pressure, so they had to take an extremely long shower under trickling freezing, cold water. I was humiliated. The boiler was broken in the main building, something that should have been checked prior to our weekend event. Again, no discount was offered to our guests and they had to pay full price. 4. The phones in the rooms were all disconnected. Therefore, when our guests tried to call reception (when there was NO HOT WATER), they could not do so. All lines were dead. They had to go down to talk to Jessica, only to find no one at the main desk. 5. I had made arrangements with John to hold an after-party until midnight after the wedding. To simply open the space, they charged us $350 and then another $150 for the bartender. My husband and I and the bridal and groom’s parties did not get back to the inn until 11:30pm. Despite the arrangement that it would stay open until midnight, they locked the door to the tavern on us at 11:30pm. I contacted John about this and asked for a reimbursement for the time we were denied and he never got back to me. He said the owners wouldn’t do it because of the cost of turning on the lights. Huh?! 6. We also paid money to have the firepit made available to us both nights and due to rain, the firepit would not work one night. We were supposed to be refunded for that and again, that never happened. In the transition to the new ownership, it is no longer being effectively run. Therefore, while they figure it out, I would refrain from booking any major events there.

swered emails quickly and found answers for all our our detailed questions and she really put us at ease that everything would not only be okay, but would be perfect and beautiful (and she was right)! - We worked with the Frungillo team on changes to our menu and we left our 2nd tasting feeling confident in their catering skills and the menu. We had a mix up at our 1st tasting, but Amy & team did everything possible to make it right and we can't thank them enough. - The serving staff was professional and quick, we received so many comments on how great they were. They assigned the bride and groom our own personal attendant to make sure we ate and drank what we paid for. This was a really nice surprise and we loved it; Tori was so sweet! We opted to add an additional server to pass out our signature cocktail and this was such a hit! - The food was delicious! We had an Asian Salmon, Filet Minion, and Chicken with a blueberry sauce, also a Cauliflower Steak veggie option. We loved the food and the guests raved about it as well. - We had cupcakes for dessert and they were perfectly tasty, in addition to a cute lil cutting cake. We added on the Donut Flambe option and this was so cool! It came with a flaming station which lit up the guests faces outside by night, ice cream and toppings! It was one of the highlights of our evening. - In the end - some things went wrong (on our end) and Frungillo's made quick fixes which led to a perfectly seamless evening. We give Amy & Frungillo's the highest rating!!

e contract before signing. He answered all my emails in a timely manner which is very important to me. I soon started working with Dawn who is spectacular! Just like John she was super nice and answered all my questions and worked with me every step of the way. She made sure to stay on top of everything and made sure everything got done the right way. Towards the end of our 5 month planning we were introduced to Jerry the Maître D' who made the wedding the day of as smooth as possible! He would come up to us the day of the wedding to make sure we were happy and everything was running how we wanted it to be. The food was perfect and the staff were amazing the day of the wedding! I am so glad I went with Frungillos and would recommend them to anyone in need of a caterer!

and a more traditional site, and Amy was with us every step of the way. She offered us many solutions and advice about what we were trying to accomplish. Amy was flexible and adaptable, even when we would make a decision and then change our mind again hours later (bride brain). Amy was professional and was always quick with a response for any questions we had. On the day of the wedding, she made sure that I was taken care of the whole day and made sure everything was just as we had talked about. Honestly, my day would not have been as perfect as it was without Amy.

g the way with linens, but everything worked out. Very professional and made our day go smoothly! Would definitely recommend!

overnor declared a state of emergency for practically our entire wedding day due to an impending snow storm). When we called our Maitre D’, Jerry, at 5 pm the night before our wedding and asked him if the schedule change would be possible in light of the state of emergency, he hung up with us and immediately started making calls. Within 30 minutes he called us back having contacted all the various catering related vendors, rearranged his entire plan, and marshaled his staff to make sure that our wedding could still happen. Truly incredible customer service. Although we were very very pleasantly surprised that Frungillo was able to pull it off, we were not at all surprised that they were willing to try. From day 1 Frungillo was a pleasure to work with. In the beginning we worked with John to negotiate the contract, and he was both easy to communicate with and very accommodating. A few months after signing our contract, he connected us with a wonderful Maitre D’ named Dawn who walked us through the catering process, helped us arrange our tasting, and relayed messages between us, the bar tenders, and the chefs. When it became clear that Frungillo had recently switched to a new tasting policy that only allowed for a few group tastings throughout the year, Dawn advocated for us to have the private tasting experience that we had initially been offered since the group tastings did not align with or schedules and had not been mentioned in the original contract. (It's worth noting that the tasting is not included in the package and is $100 per person.) In the end, Dawn ended up having a vacation scheduled for the week of our wedding, so she wasn’t present on the actual day. We were a bit nervous about getting a new Maitre D' so late in the game since they make the entire show happen, but the hand off from her to Jerry was remarkably smooth and Jerry worked hard to get up to speed. In terms of the food itself, we received nothing but compliments from our guests. Everyone was enamored with the chef’s short ribs, and he even invented several delicious customized dishes at our request (including a roasted chicken with Madeira sauce and apple/sage stuffing on the side). In addition, the bar tenders happily gave us advice on how much alcohol to order, the chef accommodated our dessert bar preferences, and the cake maker put together a lovely cutting cake that looked just like the picture we had sent her. All in all, working with Frungillo was a wonderful experience and we highly recommend them. As an added bonus, they have a very strong relationship with the staff at our venue (the Conservatory at Sussex Fairgrounds), which made the entire process impressively seamless.
