dreaming of unapolgetic lovers
As a Raleigh wedding photographer, I always appreciate a venue that feels like you are on your own corner of the planet, like it is a private space only for the most special people in your life. The Skyroom wedding venue offers just that, but with the kindness, care and attention you deserve.

As someone who spends my weekends moving between urban portraits and fields of light, I love how these sweeping North Carolina landscapes frame The Skyroom. This venue feels deeply rooted in calm, but with a sense of possibility.
Tucked away on about 10 acres just south of Raleigh in Moncure, The Skyroom sits far enough from the bustle to feel like your day lives in its own world, yet it’s close enough for your guests to easily arrive from town, airports, and hotels.















The Skyroom is located at 247 Callies Haven Way, in Moncure, North Carolina 27559.
The Skyroom can hold up to 250 seated guests.
Some venues look pretty- only to forget the little things that make your day flow. The Skyroom doesn’t. Built with ceremony, photography, and celebration in mind, here’s what I’ve noticed couples will appreciate most:
Every one of these details – from the chairs that actually feel comfortable to a setup that keeps your day moving smoothly – shows up in images. That’s one reason I find weddings here so effortless to document: the space complements you, it doesn’t compete.

If you’re the type of couple who:
then The Skyroom might feel like it was made for you.
As a Raleigh wedding photographer, I know you’ll enjoy your guests’ laughter spilling out onto the terrace at golden hour, quiet exchanges happening in plush getting-ready suites, and full-bodied celebrations unfolding beneath soft light that photographers dream of. That’s what this venue gives you- not just a pretty backdrop, but a space built for real connection.

Pricing for 2026-2027 is available on their website here.
Wedding venue rentals cost $4500- $1200, depending on the month and day of the week. A Friday wedding event starts at $9350, while a Saturday starts at $12000, with special rates during the months of January, February, and August. Weekend dates are very limited and quickly get booked up, so if you are looking at hosting your wedding celebration at The Skyroom, I’d highly recommend you reach out today!
At the heart of this venue is the comfort for all. It was important to Jen to build a space for everyone to feel comfortable no matter. There is plenty of natural light, elevated luxury finishings, and thoughtful touches that extend past the couple to their guests and even the vendors.
We love The Skyroom for these reasons, but the most prominent reason is deeply personal.
The owner Jen had the vision of the perfect wedding venue where every detail ensured a smooth, thoughtful experience. She and her father Mark brought this vision to life together, working side by side from the ground up.
I can relate to this experience of working alongside your parent to create something really beautiful. Even though I lost my dad in 2023, I’ve felt his support the whole time I built my own business. I built it from the ground up with him in my heart. And while I wish he could be here today to see what I’ve created, I am honored to have had a glimpse at Jen & her dad working together to bring this vision from inception to reality.
Your wedding day should feel like your story, not a checklist. The Skyroom supports you so you can actually live in the moments that matter. Couples who love deeply, laugh easily, and treasure the warmth of their people will find something special here.
I’m Jena, the heart and soul behind Sunshine Sentiments. The name was inspired by my dad’s nickname for me, and the light he brought into my life. I love adventuring, trying new restaurants, and snuggling my fur babies.
As your wedding photographer, I love connecting with you to find out what’s important to you, and learning how I can preserve your memories best. Whether you’re having an intimate ceremony or a grand celebration, I’ll be there to document every moment along the way.

I’m a North Carolina-based wedding and elopement photographer and videographer, always ready to pack a bag for wherever your love takes you. Photography became my passion after losing my dad and realizing how much I wished I had more recent memories of him to look back on. That’s why I do what I do: to preserve the love, laughter, and connection in a way that feels as warm and sentimental as sunshine itself.
Your memories deserve to be captured & remembered. That’s what I’m here for.
