Win A Valentine's Day Wedding on the Willis Tower Skydeck

Four lucky couples will win a 15-minute wedding or vow renewal ceremony on the famed Ledge 1,353 feet above the city.

Looking for an attention-grabbing wedding? Get hitched on the Willis Tower Skydeck. (Or do you still call it the Sears Tower?)

Couples looking for a unique way to tie the knot or renew their vows will have a chance to win a Valentine’s Day wedding ceremony atop the observation deck by entering the first-ever Skydeck Chicago Wedding Contest.

Submit a video entry on the Skydeck Chicago Facebook page. In two minutes or less, contestants should explain why they should be selected to win the wedding ceremony of a lifetime at the height of Chicago’s most iconic landmark.

Couples are also encouraged to share in their entries their most romantic moments, stories of how they met, why they are choosing to spend the rest of their lives together, or how their love has stood the test of time or acrophobia.


Four winning couples will be selected to declare their vows from the Ledge’s glass box on the 103rd floor, which extends out 4.3 feet from the skyscraper’s famed Skydeck. Each couple will have a private 15-minute ceremony accompanied by up to ten special guests.

Afterwards, the newlyweds can enjoy a champagne toast with their guests on the Willis Tower’s 99th floor. Couples will also enjoy a complimentary photo taken by Willis Tower’s in-house photographer on the world-famous ledge 1,353 feet above the city.

Entries will be accepted up until Feb. 1. The winners will be announced Feb. 8 and wedding ceremonies will take place on Feb. 14.
