Timing Your Proposal


  • Sunset Magic: Sunset proposals are the most popular choice, offering soft golden light and a romantic glow across the city.

Hiring a professional photographer ensures your proposal is beautifully documented against the city’s skyline. Imagine candid photos of pure surprise, followed by romantic portraits with Chicago’s iconic views in the background.

Planning Tips


  • Book in Advance: Secure tickets or a proposal package early, especially during weekends and holidays.
  • Consider the Weather: While the observation deck is indoors, visibility depends on Chicago’s ever-changing weather. Check forecasts for the clearest views.
  • Celebrate Afterwards: Head to one of the nearby restaurants or cocktail lounges along Michigan Avenue or the Magnificent Mile to toast your new chapter.
