A friend who had just joined The Ridgewood Woman’s Club encouraged me to go to a RWC lunch/ meeting to see if I might like to join also… which I did.This group of special, intelligent and caring women were so welcoming to me. I then joined and have not regretted it!

Lastly, but most importantly, The Ridgewood Woman’s Club does so many wonderful and charitable things but also leaving time for the members to do some fun activities together also!”

“Skyland's Manor was the perfect venue for our wedding! From start to finish, their team was exceptional, making our day unforgettable. Despite our short 6-month planning timeline and detailed setup list, the Frungillo team handled everything flawlessly and was incredibly accommodating. They customized the menu to provide me (the bride) with a dedicated gluten-free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cake, ensuring I could enjoy every moment without worry.

Our coordinator, Linda, was an absolute gem—sweet, organized, and professional from our first meeting. Her expertise shone throughout our time working with her, and she made us feel at ease knowing everything was under control. Even when rain threatened our outdoor ceremony, she seamlessly arranged a tent, allowing us to proceed without a hitch. The venue’s responsiveness to our questions and flexibility with changes made the planning process and day of the wedding stress-free.

Our bridal attendant, Nicole, was equally amazing. She was attentive, anticipated my every need, and kept us on schedule throughout the day. Her care and attention to detail made me feel truly pampered and allowed me to fully soak in the joy of the occasion.

Skyland's Manor exceeded our expectations in every way, and we’re so grateful for their dedication to making our wedding day perfect. Highly recommend this venue to any couple!”

I had originally planned my party outdoors, but due to weather, I had to find a new venue within just a few days. From my very first call, Michael was incredibly kind, responsive, and genuinely helpful. I was fortunate that a cancellation opened up availability.

The experience exceeded my expectations. Everyone was attentive and supportive from start to finish - helping us set up, offering helpful suggestions based on past events, and ensuring everything ran smoothly throughout the night. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing, which made the entire experience so enjoyable.

“When you think of New Jersey hockey, you should immediately think of the Ice Vault. Lemme tell you why…

Lobby? Clean enough. Bleachers? Clean enough. Bathrooms? You’re at an ice rink. Parking? As long as grandmama doesn’t take up two spots you’ll be fine. Number of surfaces? A lot. Ice quality? Yes there is ice. Likelihood you’ll get yelled at by someone’s mom? Very high.

What takes the cake is the restaurant.

You will be tempted to utter the forbidden phrase “snack bar” when you walk through the doors and up the ramp to the upper lobby between rinks 1 and 2. The hockey gods and the rink owner will immediately correct you and tell you it is a restaurant. You will not mind because you are happy there is heat somewhere in the building.

There you’ll find your typical ice rink favorites… baconeggncheese, porkrolleggncheese, hot dog, hot chocolate, burger, soda, sports drink, whatever.

And then you’ll see the rest of the menu. Which spans the length of the counter which already rivals the lane count of I-80 coming into town.

Multiple varieties of Asian food? Yup. Full course breakfast including fresh pancakes? All day. Fruits and vegetables? Mhm. All the flavors of Red Bull? Indeed.

And then there’s the whiteboard in the middle. That’s where the specials are. Some weekends it’s a specialty panini or soup du jour or something just generally neat and well executed. And then there’s tournament weekends. There was a point in time where you could get a surf and turf dinner featuring sea bass, filet mignon, and two sides for $20. Twenty. Dollars. At an ice rink. Why? Because it’s not a snack bar.

They may also have the best Italian food ever, let alone in North Jersey or at an ice rink, but I’ll let you decide.”
