You would think that Al and Caroline Manzo would be ready to retire and let their kids take care of them for a change. Caroline’s Instagram shows photos of both of them doting on their first grandchild, Markie. But Caroline is busy making and selling soaps and her business is going strong. And as it turns out, Al has been busy building a castle.
According to their website, the Legacy Castle will be “the premier catering facility of the metropolitan area in prestigious Pompton Plains New Jersey. Access is directly off of Route 23 South and conveniently located in between Route 80 and Route 287. Our goal is to provide you with excellent service, exquisite food, and an experience which surpasses all of your expectations. The exterior façade, outdoor gardens, interior décor, and ambiance is based on a theme of classic elegance.”
Caroline posted a video of the building progress and it’s a pretty impressive undertaking. The Legacy Castle expects to be open for business in the fall of this year.
There must be about 50 different banquet facilities in that area. I don’t think they need another.
Hey knucklehead, didja look at the video! It’s grand place for a wedding.When am I planning this wedding????
If you build it they will come.
It’s a hideous monstrosity that you can see right off the highway. Can’t wait to see when what happens when the area floods.
nope! definitely not a castle.
Wow! One has to admire their industry! It looks wonderful! Loved the music too! So cute!
Wasn’t there a report that they owed a big chunk of back taxes? Who’s financing that monstrosity?
Wow, Y’all are just dicks about everything.
LOL, being a dick just feels good sometimes. I get sick of myself when I’m constantly smiling, encouraging, praising, etc, TT congrats on turning over a new leaf.
Ahahahaahaha!! Thank GOD it isn’t just me.
What a great venue for a wedding!! There may be other options in their area but I predict there will be no shortages of brides booking their weddings.
This place looks stunning so far. Wish it was available for my sister’s wedding two years ago ?????????
You certainly can’t say Albert Manzo doesn’t work hard enough, props to him for keeping up the pace and getting himself healthy, to boot. I remember there were serious health concerns for him years ago, I think about his heart/weight?
Hopefully he builds something he passes on to his kids and they won’t run it into the ground lol
He was very overweight and pretty much working 24/7 at the Brownstone. He got the lap band surgery and has done well ever since. Not that crazy about Caroline and her kids, but I’ve always liked Al.
I love this couple
Perfect for the New Jersey crowd…
Yup! Not my style at all but Jersey Princesses will beg their daddies to book their weddings there.
Hey! Speak for your own state. Lol.
I live In NJ and It’s not my taste but I certainly wish them well! A tremendous amount of work and detail went into the designing and building. I believe Al father’s built, “The Brownstone”? Perhaps this was an opportunity for him to build something, on his own, from the ground up- a legacy to his family.
More like a French Chateau…. a major monetary undertaking. Assume they did not use the Joe Gorga construction company to build it.
You people really are douchebags are you ever happy for anyone. Guess they are doing ok if they have financing to build this. So maybe everything you hear isn’t always true Good luck manzos
I drive past this daily. I thought it was a nursing home
Am i the only surprised at the “how financially” this happened? Maybe I am just jaded because of the Guidice’s and Melissa’s?
Good for them. They worked hard before RHOJ and have continued to work hard and not just rely on TV like most of the others. The Brownstone has been around for a long time and you dont last that long without knowing what you are doing and providing good service.
Weddings are big business in all areas of the country and with the upswing in the economy, I see this new venue being a success. I see Albie, Chris, and Vito playing a big role in the new family venture.
I only liked Caroline on Rhonj. Not her own show, she was insufferable. She should return to Rhonj.
I hear it’s not owned my the Manzo’s. Just the kitchen food is the Brownstone’s.
