Adventurous couples looking for a unique way to tie the knot or renew their vows can enter the Skydeck Chicago Wedding Contest by submitting a video entry at the Skydeck Facebook page. In two minutes or less, contestants should explain why they should win the wedding ceremony of a lifetime atop Chicago’s most iconic landmark. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, couples are encouraged to share their most romantic stories; how they met; why they want to spend their lives together, or how their love has stood the test of time. Submissions can be uploaded now through Tuesday, January 31st. Four couples will be selected and notified on Thursday, February 2, 2017. (One entry per couple, maximum two minutes in length.)
Winning couples will exchange vows from The Ledge’s glass floor balconies that extend 4.3 feet from the skyscraper’s famed 103rd floor. Accompanied by up to eight guests, each couple will enjoy a private 15-minute ceremony with the Chicago skyline as the backdrop. Each picture-perfect couple will receive a complimentary photo on The Ledge taken by Willis Tower’s in-house photographer. At the ceremony’s conclusion, the newlyweds and their guests will celebrate with a champagne toast and receive wedding gifts from Chicagoland-based lifestyle brand, Crate and Barrel.
