RHONJ: Manzos Pull Out Of Banquet Hall, Wedding Venue

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — Albert Manzo and his brother Thomas have pulled out of a new banquet hall and wedding venue that just opened along Route 23.

Manzo and his brother posted the announcement on Twitter Saturday, saying the end of their association with The Legacy Castle ended Oct. 7.

The 82,000-square-foot venue is located in a low-lying flood zone at the intersection of Alexander Avenue and Route 23 South. It is only partially open. A certificate of occupancy was only issued for the venue's first floor, according to a NorthJersey.com report, which quoted Manzo. The level's second-story, with a 1,500-seat grand ballroom, is scheduled to open in early 2018, the report said.

Manzo previously said that the venue would have a plan in place should it become flooded, the Northjersey.com report stated. A wedding canceled due to flooding would have the option of changing the date, just as it would if there were a snowstorm or similar weather event.

Manzo is the husband of Caroline, a former "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star. The family had its own spin-off show, "Manzo'd With Children."
