Sneak Peek: Russian Ice and Dominican Spice
Meet Robert and Jerry Frungillo, reception masters of New Jersey. At the brothers' four different and unique venues, it's all weddings, all the time, often at the same time! In a matter of days, the Frungillos and their staff are throwing two weddings simultaneously for two very different couples. Last minute requests involving exotic candies and ethnic dancers have the team rushing to please one bride, while storm clouds threaten to ruin the other bride's dream of an outdoor wedding. Can the brothers pull both events together with the style and grace they are known for to give each couple the wedding of their dreams?
Couple 1: Marina and Andy
Special Requests: Marina and her Russian relatives love to drink vodka and the Frungillos created an ice luge to keep all the guests well lubricated.
Couple 2: Newsy and Willy
Special Requests: Newsy and Willy requested a candy buffet of sweets from the Dominican Republic, and also asked the Frungillos to find Diablo Conjuelos dancers (colorful Dominican carnival performers) as a surprise for their guests.
Episode 1: Cocktails and Cat Tails
With two big wedding extravaganzas this weekend, reception masters Robert and Jerry Frungillo have their work cut out for them. They and their staff are frantically juggling bride and groom requests. One couple is so crazy about their cats they want the feisty felines incorporated into the wedding ceremony. The other lovebirds want a muralist on site to capture the joy of their reception on canvas, but finding an artist willing to take on the challenge is no easy feat. But, it's all in a day's work if you're a Frungillo!
Couple 1: Dana and Dave
Special Requests: Dana and Dave requested a custom-made non-alcoholic cocktail for the wedding. They also wanted someone to paint a mural of the wedding as it was actually happening.

Episode 2: Rain or Shine
Reception masters Robert and Jerry Frungillo are attempting to pull off the near impossible this weekend with two weddings back to back and only one hour in-between to transform the beautiful Skylands Manor! In addition to the frenetic short turnaround, the staff is frantically juggling bride and groom requests ranging from a hand-rolled cigar station and show-stopping ten-piece Mariachi band, to a last minute food tasting with one bride's Czech grandmother!
Couple 1: Jane and Len
Special Requests: Jane and Len asked the Frungillos to come up with a custom-made Czech soup for a Czech tradition where the bride and groom are covered by a bib and eat soup from a giant soup bowl. Len asked the Frungillos to get him dance lessons so he doesn't embarrass himself during the first dance.
Couple 2: Francesca and Stephan
Special Requests: Francesca and Stephan want their wedding to feel like a big vacation, complete with a cigar roller and a Mariachi band!

The Frungillos are attempting to pull off two extravagant weddings at the same time. At their beautiful venue The Mezzanine, the brothers are throwing an over-the-top African-chic wedding. One complication ... the Frungillo staff is unprepared for the Nigerian custom of wedding crashers! Meanwhile, over at the majestic Skylands Manor, the Frungillos are orchestrating a gorgeous Old Hollywood dream wedding, complete with a vintage limo and a pig roast. Trouble arises when the succulent smell of the BBQ brings some unexpected guests of its own!

Complications abound as one bride becomes unhappy with her off-premise location and enrolls the Frungillos to do a full ballroom makeover just days before the wedding. Meanwhile at their beautiful Villa location, the brothers and their staff are busy pulling off an extravagant Asian-themed wedding, complete with Far Eastern delicacies and a Koi fish aquarium bar! Things get tricky when the bride and groom request that their wedding cake be made and decorated during the wedding ... in front of all of their guests!
