1st Wedding Party on the Ledge at Sears Tower!
I was the first officiant to have their photo taken with a bride and groom — Sharon and Arthur — on the new Ledge at Sears Tower. (OK, technically the Willis Tower but I’m not yet ready to change.) It’s amazing. You walk onto glass and look 103 stories straight down!
No, that’s not me in the photos, below. I’ll post the actual photos when I get them. The photographer — Catherine Chouinard of Chouinard Photography — has a fear of heights but still went on the Ledge to get the photos! A real pro.
The wedding was at the fabulous Metropolitan Club on the 67th floor. (In fact, I had two weddings there on the same day! That’s a first for me. Invited to both receptions.) Weddings are open to anyone there, you do not need to be a member. Ann Turnbull or Joe Flynn will take care of you well.
BTW, the Skydeck will let you get married there at no additional charge — other than the cost of going up ($15 per adult) — for small weddings. Contact Charlene Graczyk. I assume you can not get married on the Ledge due to its popularity. Perhaps I could do the very last part — the actually legally binding part — there.
It’s a one of a kind photo op!
