Win a Wedding Ceremony at Skydeck Chicago for Valentine’s Day

Skydeck Chicago – the newly transformed Chicago attraction is offering couples, including LGBTQ+ couples, a chance to win a one-of-a-kind experience on The Ledge glass observation deck. The annual “Love on the Ledge” social media contest will give adventurous couples the chance to tie the knot or renew their vows in a private, romantic ceremony high above the Windy City at 1,353 feet in the sky.

Last year, Eric Woodley and Carl Adaza, seen in the featured photos, was one of four couples who had their wedding ceremony with a jaw-dropping view of Chicago.

To enter the contest, couples are invited to submit a photo or video entry on Skydeck’s Facebook page from January 5 – 28, 2022, sharing their love story and why they wish to experience “Love on The Ledge.” 

On February 1, 2022, up to four couples will be selected as winners of a private wedding ceremony or vow renewal on the nation’s highest observation deck to take place on February 13, 2022, the Sunday of Valentine’s Day weekend. Each ceremony will be held on The Ledge at Skydeck, the observation deck’s glass boxes that extend over four feet from the building, offering unforgettable views of the city and skyline. 

New this year, couples will also experience the Chicago-centric museum on the lower level of the Tower, which delivers a photo-worthy and interactive experience celebrating the unique personality, history, neighborhoods, and sites of our beloved home, Chicago.

“We’re honored to continue supporting couples in their ultimate love stories. Skydeck has always been about creating unique, thrilling, and memorable experiences high above our magical city,” says Skydeck General Manager Randy Stancik. “With the newly transformed experience, the attraction further romanticizes Chicago, allowing guests to uniquely interact with our beloved city.”

Each winning couple will enjoy a private 15-minute vow renewal or wedding ceremony with the Chicago skyline as the backdrop, complemented by romantic floral and décor, and can be accompanied by up to eight guests. Further, couples will receive a stay the night before at Canopy by Hilton Chicago Central Loop located directly across the street from Willis Tower, a professional photoshoot taken during and after the ceremony, and deluxe offerings onsite, including breakfast and a champagne toast.

Skydeck at Willis Tower boasts breathtaking views spanning up to 50 miles and four states and has seen more than 1,096 proposals, 116 weddings, 20 vow renewals, and tens of thousands of dates at Skydeck and on The Ledge. After undergoing an extensive transformation in 2021, Skydeck offers a one-stop, Chicago-themed experience, highlighting the rich history, culture, cuisine, and architecture of the city.
